Chapter 744: Therapy (1/2)

Raunak finished the procedures on the same day. He is especially fast and he is clearly seemed disturbed.

He brought the documents to Sam by evening.

Sam already paid for this.

It really is expensive for such a small piece of land. Even though the area is considered huge for even a mansion, it is still too much to pay thirty million for such a land.

”Do you have any backlash to add this to your target amount?”

”No, they agreed immediately. There is no problem with normal officials. Only the officials that are completely involved with factions are giving me trouble.

For some reason, my situation seemed to have spread through the upper administration of the city. Faction 1 is trying to suppress me with that infamous disdain and faction 2 is distancing themselves from me so that they wouldn't end up helping me in case I join faction 1 in the future.”

Raunak explained.

Sam gave out a beer and asked him to take a seat before speaking.

”But this doesn't seem to be the problem that is bugging you. Do you want to talk about it?”

”It's just….” Raunak wanted to say something, but it is as if he couldn't find any words.

”The world is so fucking unfair?”

Raunak nodded.

”I thought you were an orphan.”

”I am.”

”Then why didn't learn this earlier?”

”Learn what?”

”That the world is unfair. You should be one of the people that should know that the world is not supposed to be fair.”

”But why?” Raunak asked him in a weak voice.

Sam just smiled and let him continue.

”Why is it so unfair? Is it really too much to ask that I get what I work hard for? Is it too much to ask that?”

”Of course, it is too much. Why should you get what you want just because you worked hard? Everyone works hard. Every single creature works hard. It is the easiest thing one can do.

If you want something, you have to prove that you want it, you have to show that you need it, you have to need it as much as you need air to breathe as if you would die if you don't have it. But there would be people trying to steal that too.

Because, because of your desire, they are losing something they desire, you have to fight for it. But they are strong, the world has only one goal, to bring you to your knees, but you have to resist, refuse, deny and grit your teeth to stand up.

Not whine and cry.

You seemed to have gotten help at a very young age.

But you were just lucky.

And luck runs out soon and you would come to a point where you have to make your own luck and this is one of those points.

You just have to face it.”

Raunak really wanted to say something, but he couldn't. His throat is feeling heavy and he is feeling extremely conflicted. He is really feeling that everything is unfair. He wants to scream to the sky and question everything and anything about why it is happening to him.

Sam couldn't help but chuckle. He was like that. But when he was in that state, he is a lot younger. Way too young to contemplate the fairness and unfairness. He doesn't even know what that actually meant.

Maybe that helped him adjust easier. Since he knew little he was able to satisfy himself with that.

But Raunak is different, he seemed to have been rescued from the honest reality with some help and now he is facing real pressure.

Maybe this incident is the breaking point, but Sam is sure that there are a lot of accumulated incidents that must have lead to this point.

He could have already experienced most of it in the school he went for his bureaucracy. But the love of his life made him reach this point.

Sam looked at him and said.

”If you want to cry, then cry. But make sure no one sees it. A person's tears are extremely valuable. You cannot let the world see you shedding them for its cruelty. It would take that weak point and tear you apart.
