The Strange Life I Live

End Suffering

The atmosphere in an oncoming car carrying several people, can be said to be very warm. At this time, Zen was already with his adoptive parents and with his sister Irene was heading towards the school where Zen was studying.

Today is the day of Zen's departure to follow the work of the tour from his school, so the family from Irene decided to take Zen to the school where he studied, so that the family from Irene decided to take Zen to the school where he studied, because all students who will follow the work of the tour will depart from there to their destination.

“Remember to buy by – by me Zen” said a woman next to him, although she felt a little concerned about Zen's situation.

Irene was very understanding of Zen's frequent bullies, even knowing that Vero left her. But because of Zen's request not to tell his parents, he finally could only follow his sister's words.

“Alright Kak” Zen replied with a smile.

“Ya.. and do not forget to have Mama also” said Mother of Irene who greeted the conversation between the two of them.

Indeed, it seems that in this world only they are the ones who have always been very kind to Zen. Even Zen always called them Mama or Papa, even though they were not his biological parents.

“The most important thing is that you have fun there Zen. For business by – by, buy when you're right – is really free.” Said Irene's father from behind the wheel of his car.

And that's the warmth that's going on in that speeding car. But what they do not know, maybe this moment is the last moment they can be like this with the same –.

Zen is now on a ferry, which will take him with his schoolmates across an island across the ocean, where they will undergo their work there.

“Look who is here..” said a man who always bothers Zen, and is currently trying to annoy him again.

Zen is indeed currently as much as possible away from a group of school students, because he does not want to hear the insults that he continues to receive. Even on the way up the bus before boarding this ship, he could hear the insults constantly being hurled at him.

“Can you leave me alone Frank?” asked Zen who was actually getting fed up with the man's attitude in front of him.

“Why? I want to be here, do you mind?” frank said while showing the look on his intimidating face.

Hearing that, Zen did not answer the words of the man who tried to disturb him, and tried to get away from there. But arrived – just arrived, his shoulder was held by the muscular arm of Frank because he was not satisfied to disturb Zen.

“Who said you can go?” said Frank who had prevented Zen from getting out of there.

Zen had been very upset, but as much as possible he held himself back, because indeed he was not worth dealing with Frank whose body was quite large, when compared to Zen who was very weak.

But Frank's embrace arrived – just came regardless, after seeing someone who came towards them at this time.

“Look who came, if not my lover Angel” said Frank as he glanced at the person who had just approached them.

Seeing that Frank's hand had slipped from him, Zen wanted to get as far away from there as possible. Indeed Frank wanted to restrain Zen once again, but he stopped his actions, after seeing his lover look very angry at him.

“I told you I was waiting for you at the restaurant, why haven't you come yet?!” vero said to his lover in a quite furious tone.

Utilizing the incident, Zen finally managed to leave the pair of lovers who were fighting the argument. Zen did not want to interfere, and immediately disappeared from the sight of the two disputants and moved away from there.

However, the incident in which Zen was perpetuated by Frank, continued even though Frank was not near him. Not only was Frank happy to bully Zen, but some of his school students who were disgusted to see his flawed appearance helped bully him. Some people even try to chew it because they know Zen is a rich man.

“Who is crying?” murmured Zen while glancing at the surrounding area. Indeed, because of the cloudy weather, the open area where he stood was very quiet, even now he was in this place alone.

Finally Zen began to move from there and tried to trace the origin of the crying sound that he heard. But what he did not expect, the cry came from a person he knew very well, who was currently at the edge of the ship and was leaning against the fence.

Zen was actually quite awkward to greet her, so she started turning her body and started to move from there leaving the crying woman herself. But unfortunately, his actions were already seen by people who were crying in that place.

“B-How are you Z-Zen?” that was how a loud and slow voice came out from the woman's mouth, and made Zen's steps stop.

Hearing that, Zen began to turn his back, and saw the woman he knew begin to wipe away the tears that had spilled from his eyes and tried to smile at Zen, after seeing Zen begin to respond to his call by starting to look at him who is still trying to remove the rest of the tears that stick to his cheeks.

“K-Kabarku good – just fine V-Vero” reply Zen who also cangung, because he had not talked to his childhood friend for long enough.

But Zen's words, making the atmosphere in the place began to be quiet, because between the two of them, they did not know what to say or talk about because they both still looked very awkward.

“Z-Zen”

"V-Vero"

Finally they managed to say something, but because their words clashed with each other, finally a state of silence again occurred. Seeing that, Zen decided to allow Vero to speak first.

But before Zen did so, a lightning bolt struck a place not far from the existence of the ship boarded by Zen and his school friends.

After the sound of the lightning strike disappeared, water droplets began to descend from the overcast sky and began to wet the area below. Seeing that, Zen and Vero were about to leave there to find shelter, but arrived – just arrived hard sea waves directly hit towards the ship they were riding.

“Ahhh...” shouted Vero.

As a result of the big waves that suddenly hit the hull of the ship that boarded Zen, making the ship experience a huge shock. The reason, Vero who had been leaning on the fence of the ship, began to fall backward and will fall under the vast sea because of the shock.

Fortunately, Zen swiftly caught Vero's hand and tried to hold it back. With his weak physique, Zen tried his hardest to help Vero to ascend. And their efforts finally succeeded after Vero managed to hold the fence of the ship, although still hanging on the edge.

“Hahh... Huhh... Hahh...” Zen's breath was irregular because he had already used all the power he had to pull Vero to reach the fence of the ship.

Vero attempted to climb up on his own to climb back up the fringes of the ship, but the fate of the second wave came crashing back, and this time made Zen slip. But at that very moment, Vero caught the hand of Zen, who was about to fall into the raging sea.

"Ah.. fuck!" zen said that he saw a woman trying to save his life by grabbing his hand, even though she was still holding the fence, so that she would not fall.

“Quick grab the fence next to me Zen!” said Vero while pulling Zen with all his might.

Zen who did not want to die, of course tried to reach the fence of the ship on it. But unfortunately, the third wave began to hit the ship again and made a big shock. As a result of the shock, the handrails of Vero holding the fence of the ship began to weaken.

Of course, this did not escape Zen's vision. Inevitably, Zen must decide something to solve this problem he is facing.

“Let go of me Vero”
