LIFE WITHOUT ME

Episode 1 Hi, first of all I want to wish you a good day. How are you? If you ask me back, I will tell you that I am a little sad. Why? Because I have so many problems. The type that makes you think about how you can support your parents, your siblings, and how you can make money in a difficult country. while I was walking I thought about my problem. I tripped. Yes, I stumbled with my feet, there was nothing else to do but walk because this is where I knew how far I had come. Yes, I want to go away, I want to think. Child: (looks a bit disheveled) sir, can i ask you if maybe you can help me. (I can't really help you much myself) I said to myself. Geremie: what can I help you with? Child: I lost the money that my mom gave me. He ordered me to buy from the store. He will beat me if I don't buy anything. (I already know this, you lost money and then you will ask me) I mentioned to myself again. Geremie: what do you want me to do? Shall I replace your lost money? Child: I hope so. That's just cheap sir Geremie: and you know what's cheap now, what the.. How old are you? Child: 8 years old. Sir and you? (He actually even asked, what does he think, I'm his friend?) I was annoyed to mention in my mind. Geremie: okay, okay, this is all my money.(I reached for 2 dollars) Child: even a kilo of rice worth 4 dollars can't buy this. (My forehead is wrinkled when I say this) I don't care if you don't want to. I haven't eaten since morning! You are the one who complained. Child: My nickname is Tantan. I did not complain. That's the truth. But because you gave me even if there is nothing left of you, God the Father will reward you. Just trust him. Because not everything he gives is timely according to your wishes. I was very surprised when Tantan said these words. will i cry? My tears seem to be falling. Yes, my tears flowed. How can he say this at his young age? How does he know life if his only pleasure is to play toys. Maybe I was blind to the fact that I wasn't the only one with a problem, maybe I woke up when I talked to the young tantan. Did he run? Just a moment. I still want to talk to him. But when he ran, a fast taxi ran over his fragile body. Here I just heard the loud horn, shouting of people who saw the incident and my red eyes and my mind asking why these things are happening.I cried louder. Leaking like a broken faucet. I'm crying because I'm giving up but the boy I talked to is full of hope in life. Full of dreams.
