章節 3: A Homeless Night
"You were quite calm and cool-headed, how did you end up like this?"
"Like this? Like what"?
"ok just chill, so you said you had a job for me, can I get some more info?"
"Meet me at this address tomorrow sharp at 6'0 clock, if you are late then forget about it"
Is he gonna make me smuggle drugs or something, it's still not safe for me to trust him blindly.
"Ok I guess, I will come, but how do I get there? I don't have any vehicle with me"
"Take a taxi, hitchhike, or subway that is not my problem"
The address was at least 11 km long, my lazy ass was already feeling dizzy and fatigued.
"Ok done then tomorrow, at 6'0 clock, you are giving me a job and that's it".
"Sleep well, and good night for your first homeless sleep"
Night suddenly felt chilly, silence engulfed the streets, howling of dogs continued, I never knew this kind of scene existed.
Now I got a little scared, I didn't know where to use the restroom, or where to sleep, I tried sleeping under the tree but it wasn't easy as it seemed.
First the rock-hard surface of the ground, chilly breezes passed, frequently minimizing the temperature with large intensity.
I started sneezing, one after the other no sign of stopping. I didn't have any blankets or bedsheets to cover myself.
Hordes of mosquitoes hovered over me, and my nose and bronchioles were fully blocked with mucus making me unable to take a normal breath, wheezing sound came whenever I breathe. The weather just took a 180° turn since evening.
Life is not a fairytale, there are either winners or losers, it is no good or bad we must do everything we can to choose our side, this was well said by the character silver In the series Cobra Kai. My body began to ache because of the freezing, I feared that I might die here and tonight.
The fear of death pulled me into anxiety, and extreme sadness, I can't cry I need to stay focused and figure this out.
I got out, left my stuff behind near the tree, and went to see that old man if I could find him. So that for this night he could adjust a place for me to sleep.
I began walking towards the ice cream parlor and heard two women talking from a distance, also heard a shuttering noise.
So they were closing the shop, and I found mayo and she looked at me and said " we are sorry, you were just a minute late"
"No actually I don't want to buy anything, I just want to know where is the old man sitting right here Mr. Wiran"?
"Oh I'm sorry I have no idea about his schedule he does as he wishes, and once he got away you can never find him."
She was too adorable for someone at her age, I talked with her about my current situation and requested her if I could get any room to sleep just for tonight.
She very clearly disappointed me by denying any kind of help in this condition. I told her to call me. wiran right now and ask him for confirmation of me.
I was shivering in that freezing hazardous temperature, she looked at me once more and finally decided to call her father.
When she held the phone to her ear, I could see the name was "Lucifer"...which was quite an unusual name to see your father as devil's incarnation.
He picked me up and after I told my name to him he agreed upon helping me for tonight. So I was hoping to stay in his apartment or house, but instead, he said his daughter to lend me some money so I could get a reservation at a guest house nearby.
If logically thinking this was a quite good move as I was stranger and couldn't be trusted he denied letting me stay in his residence, but still I felt bad.
She did lend me 3 notes of 100 bucks, which was enough for one night's stay at a cheap hotel. But wait...
It means I need to search for it, the last thing I want to do is search someplace In the middle of the night with mucus-filled lungs and backache.
I asked maya if she knows any nearby place, and she gave me a bunch of directions and a written address.
I followed every step and finally found one corny guesthouse. I found 6 dogs chilling right near the entrance door. The worst thing that could happen is they can rip me off or inject some dope rabies shit inside me.
Again my optimism kicked in and I decided to face it no matter what will the consequences be, I kept moving forward on a straight path hoping that they leave their place as I move forward.
Not even a single of them moved an inch cause of my fear, my legs were shaking and I feel my blood vessels pumping blood in a rhythm-like a manner fully synced with my heartbeat.
They did not back off but as I approached I found them harmless looking into their eyes, they were not as ferocious as they seem. I calmly moved my body by taking big steps so that I avoid touching them at all costs.
Finally made it to the reception and quickly asked to get a room with a cozy bed and warm blankets. AC/NON AC I didn't care.
He handed me the keys and I went to the room asap, grabbed the blankets turned off the lights, I struggled with some coughs and mucus but all of a sudden at a point I fell into a deep sleep the one I haven't had in ages.
