Cursed Night

CHAPTER (18): Regretting the Deeds

I'm used to living under your protection,

until I forget the laws of nature

"The Strong One who Survives"

~Tere Queenera~

Tere hugged himself, a heartbreaking sobbing coming out of his thin lips. Many times Tere condemned his foolish actions, which went from a hotel room at night that was not in his home country.

The honey chocolate bead, only able to stare at the busy bustle of the densely populated Chinese capital, wanted to feel as loud as he could cry and call Arya's name, but he did not want to be considered a crazy pregnant woman.

Look now, the result of his stupidity last night. He was lost in another country, unable to speak Chinese, not even holding a piece of money to fill his stomach that kept ringing and his throat dry.

"Where are you Arya? I'm afraid of hiks, hiks.”

"I hope you're looking for me right now, I may want to run away from you but not now a torment, a torment."

His legs were very painful and almost broken if he continued to move out of nowhere, making Tere sit at the bus stop crying as he pleased.

Some people noticed him even gave concerned looks, but Tere did not care and continued to cry calling Arya's name.

"Why don't you exist when I need you, please find me Arya. Please, hyks, hyks."

"Where are you going?! I'm not a stupid beggar!" tere shouted as the man passed after smiling at her, Tere threw the money in a rough manner and looked at her shabby clothes and perhaps even a shabby face.

"Based on a fool! What my eyes were myopic, unable to tell which one was lost to the beggar! I don't need your money, you idiot!"

After shouting, it let out a crackle within him. Tere was again irritated by the people around him, who stared concernedly and pityfully at him.

Moreover, Tere's face was very different from that of the Chinese, which was narrow and pale white. While he is not narrow, the shape of his face is different, anyway Tere is very different from them. Then why are they staring at Tere like this Tere is a beggar?!

Tere prefers to continue his path but the sound of his stomach is starving, making Tere think for a moment and look at the money he just threw.

For the first time, Tere cursed his stupid self for not speaking Mandarin. He never dreamed of setting foot in China, making him never learn anything about this country.

Throwing away the EGO in him, Tere finally took the money and sat back on the bench, hoping there would be more money for him and sure enough some people passed by, throwing money at him.

"At least I didn't ask them, they alone were fools unable to tell which beggars and which people were lost. Most importantly I eat and drink first," Tere said as he collected money on his lap, a sweet smile rising on his lips as he imagined food and drink.

"I don't know where to eat? There's no way I'm eating at a restaurant, it's gonna cost me a lot of money. Looks like I'll have to walk a little more to find a small and cheap place to eat."

After talking to himself like a madman, Tere ended up walking with flip-flops and nightgowns attached to his body without caring about the look of pity from the fool.
