6 The Strength in Saddest Moments (2/2)

The heat inside him was getting hotter and hotter by time passed.

”Hello? Are you ok-” Rin put back the telephone.

Slowly but in continuous movement, he went out of the house…

On the street, he walking like a zombie. He was remembering his time at the home with his mom. He was remembering how she cared for him, how she did not mind his weakness, how she didn't gave up on him, how she became the only thing that was keeping him alive…

If she were to be gone then he won't be able to live on. He was gasping and sweat relentlessly poured out of his pores. The heat from his body made him felt like he was having a fever. However, instead of weakening, this heat gave him energy. Energy that felt like it would not exhaust.

His movements was getting faster and faster. His walking speed was getting doubled by minutes past. He kicked the ground and he started running. He was accelerating and accelerating until he met his top speed. Compared to an athletes speed, he was slow but this was his fastest!

Remembering how the one who made him keep moving forward will be gone made his mind gone numb to the pain he was having. All the beatings he got from earlier become like it didn't even happened in the first place.

A minute passed by when he started running at his fastest. With his weak body, he should have collapsed but he didn't and instead, he's still heating up.

His destination, the hospital where his mother was brought in was nearby and only a few hundred meters away. The route he took was very unpopulated and people rarely go there.

He ran in a straight path, he ignored the few people he passed by.

Rin gritted his teeth as his throat dried up and started to feel hurt. Nonetheless, he still ran. The path he was taking was dark and only a small amount of street lights was there.

Lights flashed by his overexerting body as it ran without stopping. When these lights began to fade and his eyes started to collapse, a huge one appeared. For him this was blinding but also was his destination.

He came out of a small alley and in front of him was the hospital. It was not a tall building and only have four floors but to him this was very intimidating.

Inside that building will be his deciding fate. His mind was back again and he hold himself from collapsing.

He slowly walked and crossed the busy road. Nobody noticed his tiredness. It is normal to see someone gasping for air and sweating like crazy after a run so nobody bothered to notice him. But when they passed him, they felt chill. Unknown will and determination was something they felt.

Rin's aura was gushing out and made people avoid him.

He then entered the hospital and asked the counter while gasping for air. His eyes on the other hand was very fierce and filled with sorrow.
