They Can Now Read My Mind?!
night out
Ana
“Come on, Aoki. This is a big opportunity! I thought you
wanted to dominate the world?!”
I rolled my eyes and grabbed a small cup near me.
Ana
“Why are you being such a coward?”
Honestly, this life is tiring. Well, I am content with being able to eat delicious food and having a proper shelter, but I feel like there is still a void inside me.💭
Aoki
“I ain’t a coward, Ana. I am content now.”
I am not that dumb to give up the remaining hours I could just use for sleeping.💭
Aoki
“In fact, I am just waiting for my time. I think I already lived for a long time. It’s enough.”
Out of the blue, Ana slapped my head, which made the individuals around us glance.
Ana
“Don’t say those things! If the gods above heard that, I will never attend your funeral!"
She screamed at me first before slurping her noodles. When I glanced at her cheeks, I noticed that she swiftly removed a tear, which made me smile.
noodles?
After all, is there something else in life?💭
In the end, all the material things, as well as the people we loved, we can’t be with them by the time we die. 💭
So what’s the point? Why invest in something that would disappear someday?💭
Aoki
“Think about it, Ana. Everything we have and we own, we will lose it once we die. Imagine working hard all day and night just to build a castle and then the next day, you’re dead! That sucks. I won’t even enjoy living inside a castle. I’ll just live at the moment and wait for my death.”
I observed the bubbles floating on my soda, and in my peripheral vision, I can see Ana throwing a death glare towards me.
Ana
"Wow, you are so inspirational, it makes me want to stop hanging out with you."
Ana, my 28-year-old co-worker uttered while munching noodles.
Ana
"Honestly, there's more to this life. Maybe if you started dating, the void inside you would lessen."
Aoki
"Why do you guys always think that romance solves everything? It doesn't!"
new employee
Aoki
"It will just make you fear death since death might take you away from the person you love."
Ana
"You know what, I am afraid that I might see life that way once I turn 29."
She picked up some chopsticks and grabbed the tempura on my plate.
Ana
"You want to go clubbing?"
Aoki
"I feel like an old man already. My back is already aching after spending hours at work, Ana. Thank you but no."
I inspected the group of men in suits entering the restaurant. They all seem familiar, the reason why I squinted my eyes.
When one of them waved at me, I waved back. Ana furrowed her brows when she saw me waving from afar. She looked back and immediately waved too.
Ana
"Look at these kids. They all look cute in suits. Yesterday they were wearing white shirts in the interview."
Ana whispered while staring at the group of individuals walking toward our area.
Aoki
"You know some of them? I only knew Mr. Ang."
Ana
"They are our new employees,"
