“Yes! The class has finally finished!”
I packed up my things and was about to go back home. As I was packing up my things, my classmates waved their hands and said goodbye to me. Earlier, Rin asked me to wait outside the school entrance as we went back home together, so I speeded up my steps and ran downstairs as fast as possible. When I reached the school entrance, Rin was standing beside the door entrance and said goodbye to the classmates. I called her name, she turned her head towards my direction.
“Sorry, I’m late……”
“No, you’re not late, you are just on time,” she moved her head as she talked.
“So… shall we go now?…..”
“Sure!” she smiled.
We began our journey back home and walked side by side along the street. When we were walking, I saw there were parents holding their children's small hands and having a fun conversation on what they do during the day. At the same moment, the white collar workers passed by. I tried to come up with a conversation, so that we wouldn't get bored by just walking.
“Ah! Today’s Math class is boring…… and the questions are very hard…… I was getting kinda sleepy inside the class…….” I spoke.
“Hmm, sure it is, shall we revise the subject together?”
“Eh…… Well, you know what? Never mind, I’ll revise it by myself……”
What?! That’s it?! How come the conversation ended that fast?! Come on, Aaron! You can do better than this!! I tried to convince myself to come up with even better conversation. Then, I remembered that there was something that she wanted to tell me, so I asked again:
“Erm…. You mentioned earlier that something happened to you last night, what happened?” I asked again.
“Oh, actually last night I felt weird out of the blue…..At first, my body got hot and I felt myself struggling to control my own movement….. I woke up in the middle of the night, I found myself to be able to move again….. which is very strange….. I had never been through this before, this is like…. my first time…..” she looked upwards as she spoke, trying to figure out the reasons behind it. So…. It’s not just me having this kind of dream….. Rin as well…. My mind suddenly floated up the image of her soul and shiny colourful light coming out of her body with her loud screaming, which made me scared that I haven't prepared for it to come and wanted to find a place to vomit. I bent down and held my stomach, trying not to let the things inside of me to throw up.
“A-are you ok?! You looked like you were unwell……” she worried as she put her left palm onto my right shoulder.
“*gulp!* I’m ok…. I think I just had a temporary stomach pain…. So don’t need to worry about me too much…..” I gulped and continued.
From a far distance, I could feel somebody staring at us. I suspected that there was a person following us as I could also hear the steps. Then, I immediately turned around and took a glaze, there was nothing…….
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing…. Just need to check whether my bag has dropped something behind…”
“Well, ok…”
Then, we continued walking and the person came out.
“Phew! At least they didn’t notice me!” said by the person who was hiding behind the street light, then went away.
“I heard from a lot of classmates that you’re being named ‘The King Of Prankster’,” Rin said and looked at me.
“Well, yeah!..... I was being named by those students as ‘The King Of Prankster’, because…..” I said and kept pausing with embarrassment, “I always……..like to do …...pranks….”
“Oh….. I see...... but I don’t think you are though…….” Rin said as her voice got even softer.
“But anyway! Maybe I had switched up my style recently, I don't know.... Haha!” I laughed and Rin followed with her left palm covering her mouth.
TRUSTING AND BLESSING OUR GOD FOREVER!!!
“EH?!” I stopped in the middle of the street and told Rin to pause too as I heard the shouting and felt something strange. I slowly turned my head to the left side and looked at the corner to see what had happened. There was a group of people showing their beliefs in demonstration of god stuff while holding different signs on their hands. I wondered, what are those people talking about? Out of a blue, those people noticed my presence as they saw my forehead.
“What is that?” Rin walked to the front without any doubts to see the situation. I tried to tell her to stop, but failed. I immediately fell onto the ground trying to hold her back. Oh no….
“Oh ho! Look what we got here?! Are those people already putting their trust into God or not?!”
Oh no! Something bad is going to happen……
“Well, I think they aren’t trusting God that much! Hey kids……….”
“Rin….. I think we should run by now,” I talked softly to Rin and she agreed with my thoughts with shaking her head.
“Be our part of trusting God! Haha……” one of the group members stood out and said with an evil smile.
“Sorry about that, we have something to do…… so, later!!!” I shouted and quickly pull Rin’s hand, then ran away as soon as possible
“Looks like we ALSO have to do SOMETHING to do! Get’em!!” shouted by the leader.
Then, they chased towards us and shouted at us to stop running. I can’t really trust these people and what kind of ‘god’ did they trust in?! No! I mustn’t let them chase after me! As me and Rin were running across different shops, I told her we were about to run in a different direction by using two different narrow streets, so that there’s much fewer people running in. But unluckily, when I decided to turn left, another group of people ran through from the opposite side.
Whatever! Just used a different road! But what should I do?! This is the same scenario as being chased by the ‘Children Rippers!’! Think, Aaron! Think! As I was trying to think while running with holding Rin’s hand, one perfect idea came to me. Police station….. Yea! That’s it!
“Rin, follow me! I know what to do!” I shouted while I was running. Rin tried to follow my pace and ran along my direction. When we arrived at the police station, I shouted loudly for help from the police and they were shocked as we had been chase by many people. At last, they did their action as fast as they could to help us and arrest those people behind us to check. One officer told us to wait outside to wait for the final decision on whether they will be caught or released.
=============================================================
“Hash! It has happened two times in a row this week for me!! Last time was the group of kidnappers, now it's a group again, but about ‘God Trusting’!! Does this mean that I’m having bad luck as well for this week?!” I sighed.
“It’s ok…. At least you got the experience to deal with these kidnapping or being chased by those bad guys and know what to do next….. ” Rin said calmly and tried to comfort my anger.
“Gahhh!!!” I was in a bad mood.
“Hey, you must be the one who report the case, I have something to talk to you”
Finally, a police officer came out from the police’s office. He took me to the corner of the wall and said that the group of people were being released. Wai-what?.... why?.... I was confused and trying to explain to him even further on what me and Rin had been through.
“But, sir! They just chased us for no reason and were so desperate catch us up..... like they are trying to hypnotise us that we must trust something……..like God!”
“I’m sorry, I know this is a mistake as they are trying to catch you, but for some reason there’s a new rule that has been settled by the government,”said the police halfway and I asked again.
“What is it?”
“Ha…. There’s no excuse for the group of people who trust gods to demonstrate being caught, unless they did something like killing or raping……..” The police sighed.
“W-What on earth is going on with the government?! What they did to me and her is already wrong!! You should arrest them!!!”
“Well, you can see the news on the notice board….” the police said as he pointed his finger towards a notice on the board. I walked towards the notice board and looked at the information carefully.
“Changing rules for our country…….nothing illegal for actions done by people who tried to spread the ideology of Gods…… People who trust god will get arrested unless they killed or raped someone……” I read it out with my voice shaking. What is this?! What are they doing?!…… Then, I continued to read the news.
'The new government had took over the office after the voting results came out last week. Today, the new government came to the stage and gave a speech. He mentioned some rules that needed to be set up in order to make the country a better place.
The rule that needed to be set up:
People are not allowed to take drugs or smoking in different public/ private areas. If they’ve found out, they will be in jail for 10 to 15 years and fined up to $50000.
People SHOULD always pray for the gods no matter what they are, SHOWING LOVE TO GODS are allowed inside the country. All actions are allowed for god prayers, except destroying public/ private facilities, killing or rape. If citizens or outsiders disobey the rules, they will face a penalty or get arrested.
"I understand there are citizens may not be able to get used to this kind of new rules yet, so I'll give you all two years time to prepare for it. However, one rule that I mentioned earlier on 'All actions are allowed for god prayers, EXCEPT destroying public/ private facilities, killing or rape' will be started from today onwards," added by the government.'
Wait...... WHAT’S GOING ON RIGHT NOW?! I took a step backwards as I saw things that I couldn’t believe in.
