Surprise and Smile! You’re Going To Die!

I’d never known how the outside world looks like. I am a plain kid, kind of nerd and the son to the wealthiest man of the country. I lived in a big mansion – deep inside the forest where I could only see the sky, trees and the gates that is guarding the whole place. I was never allowed to leave the house since the day I was born into the world. My dad told me that I don’t need to go to school because my father will sent me a private teacher. My only entertainment is book. I love to read book, good things that I’m a bookworm so I felt that my life is completely perfect. Well just for your information I don’t take cheap exams for example the examinations from school. In short, I’m a brilliant student. My room is full with certificates that are going to help me in the future. My name is Kiyoshi Ediquate Shinha.

One evening my mind was fraught to know about the outside world. Impatiently, I asked my private teacher about it.

In my innocent tone, I asked her “Ayako, how do the outside world look like?”
“It’s the first time you asked me about that Sir since the first day of my arrival here. It’s been 5 years and it bothers me so much to see someone who is so young, so handsome, provided with wealth and luxury also brilliant in everything never have an interest in outside world.” He said.
“Aww don’t you think that the compliments is a lil bit too much Hizaki? It’s just a question. My mind was full with that question until it made my brain to stop from thinking. You see, I’m trying to get rid of it. Anyway could you tell me about it?”
“As you wish Sir…” she smiled. “Do you know animals? Nevermind, just imagine a sheep. I bet you know how a sheep looks like. Well you could see a lot of sheep flying over the town especially houses. I think the minimum is 4 sheep”
Stupidly, believing in what she said, I imagined the flying sheep around my house. “Hey how come there is no flying sheep around my house?”
“Haha silly you sir, you’ve been tricked” her tongue was out while she was saying this. The she continued “Well in outside world you could see a lot of places that you would never expect to see. There is a playground, parks, shopping center where you could buy something, meet up some friends. Having fun with them. Playing games that you’ve never play and there is a lot more for you to see which I couldn’t describe in words. My favourite place is the beach, it’s a place where I usually hang out alone whenever I’m bored and tension. The sound of the waves splashing, seeing the sunset and more get you the tranquility that you desire for, sir.”
“Really? That sounds awesome. Too bad I couldn’t see all of those. I wish I was free like y...” before I could finish my words, my dad called for my name and I left Ayako alone there.

That night I couldn’t sleep. I was thinking about what Ayako told me that evening. I was thinking to sneak up all by myself to see how the outside world is but then my second thoughts prevented me from doing it. So at last I decided to just close my eyes and wait for tomorrow’s morning. While trying to sleep I heard my door was opened and I felt someone was coming near me. As soon as I opened my eyes, a very familiar face appeared upon my face. It was Ayako, I saw her face was in panic. She told me that we’ve been attacked by a gangster that is trying to rob us. She also mentioned that my dad was killed in the process. There is no other choice but to run away. I ran as fast as I could with Ayako but she didn’t made it because she was shot by one of the gangster. I managed to escape from the attacked but I’m all alone now. I’ve never imagined that my life would turn like this. I was so eager to see the outside world and never stop thinking of it and now after I managed to see everything, I lost something important in exchange for it. I wandered alone in the dark cruel world only to find a place for a shelter.

The next morning, I found myself lying down in an alley near the garbage bin. Then I continued my journey and met a very cute girl. Ino is her name. She brought me to her home and introduced me to her parents. I told them about my story where my home got attacked and end up lying alone in the streets. They offered me to live with them and I accepted it. Although their place is not great as mine and very low standard for me but I’m okay with it. Not long after that, I heard about an attacked at a big mansion that is owned by the richest man in the country while I was working at the rice field. I tried to gather information about the attacked from the villagers and it was my luck to get every of the information I need. As the night started to fall, I prepared for the attacked recklessly. Before I went for my own death, Ino tried to stop me from doing it but she failed to convince me why should I stop it. Then at the place where the gangster’s hangout, there is a tough battle between me and them where I took all of them one by one all by myself. Pleased by my achievement, I totally forgot about their boss-the one who killed my dad. I felt something touched at the back of my head. I noticed that it was a gun. The trigger was pulled and …

BANGG!!

I opened my eyes and found myself alive. I thought I was in heaven but sadly I realised that I was back into my room unhurt and unharmed as yesterday. It seemed that my room is still in its shape. Nothing changes, as if there wasn’t any attack been made. Then I positively believe that every of that was only my dream. Happily I jumped my from my bed and get everything ready for my next lesson with Ayako. That morning, the house seemed to be so quiet and it made me felt so uneasy. I tried to calm myself by singing in the living room while waiting for Ayako to come. But then something caught my attention, I saw something black appeared at the window and found it vanished after I tried to see it once more. I felt that my movement was being watched. I was afraid and I tried to run away but once I turned my back. A gunshot filled the air and a loud scream was heard.

“HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY MR. KIYOSHI EDIQUATE SHINHA!!!!!!!!”
