SCATTERED FEATHERS PART - 3 Never ever show your disgusting face! Get out! I am sorry. Please, listen to me. I told you to get out, didnt I? Uncle, please. I have nowhere to- Dont call me that! I have no relation to a beggar like you. Get out. Now! The rain poured heavily, soaking him while he wandered on the streets. The weather was extremely cold and yet warm tears made their way out from his eyes. See Dad? Mom? Ive nowhere to go. Youve left me with no one by my side. But I dont blame you and I never will. Ive loved you and I will always love you for the love and care you gave me in the little time we spent together. Ill show you what your son is capable of. Ill be strong. Ill never let anything make me sad. Ill prove it someday that I can stand on my own feet. Hey. What are you doing, getting soaked in rain in this chilled weather? The voice came from an Old Book Store. He turned to see a man standing at the entrance. Yeah. Im talking to you, lad. Come here, inside or youll freeze to death. Ill wet your store. I cant, sir. Ah! Dont worry about that. Just come inside for Gods sake! He slowly entered the store; water drops dripping from his clothes. The man patted his shoulder and handed him a towel. Then he pointed towards a door. Go on and take a hot shower. I dont want you to catch cold. The clothes are there. Wear whatever you like. Thank you very much, sir. He managed to speak before heading into the pointed direction. The hot water helped him to calm down. The man seemed like an angel sent from God. After he finished, he changed into a white shirt and black jeans. Coming out, he looked here and there to spot the man; who was nowhere to be seen. Just then he heard footsteps and the man entered, carrying two cups. Here, have some hot coffee. The man handed him a cup and sat down on a chair, signalling him to sit on another. Thank you. Im deeply in your debt, sir. He settled himself on the chair and took a sip. So, whats your name? The man asked him. Tsukashira Kozouyaru. He replied. What has befallen on you? Why do you look so unhappy and wretched? Instead of answering, he kept quiet and stared onto the floor; a gloomy atmosphere surrounded him instantly. Come on. What just happened? The man looked at him with concern. Maybe he could tell this man a little. My parents died of cancer. When I was twelve, my mom passed away. And now, when I just turned sixteen, my dad..... He wiped away the tears, formed into his eyes, with the back of his hand. Im sorry... Why were you out there soaking yourself? I have nowhere to go... Your parents lived with you, right? You mustve lived in your house. No. We had rented a house. The landlord kicked me out when my dad died. Oh. So youve no money and nowhere to live? Yeah. He sighed and drank the warm liquid before it started getting cold. I can help you, you know. I need someone to work here in my store. You can work here, if you like. Ill pay you. You need money and I need a worker, so it will benefit the both of us. The offer is quite good, sir. He said, finishing the coffee and placing the cup on the table. So, youre interested? Ill let you stay here for the night until you find somewhere to live. Deal? Deal. (TO BE CONTINUED)
