What happened was very fast. The men carrying the king’s body disappeared from our sight and the next thing we knew was that the master was already standing up and going in one direction. I followed. Now that I know who he is, there is no letting go of him. I don’t know but I just want to follow this man.
“Dad…” I said the moment I took the first step. “I’m not going back to Cabar with you this time. Please give me some time to fulfill the desires of my heart.”
Silence. I can only hear sobs from my mom who surely heard what I just said.
“You have our blessings…” dad said after a few minutes of silence.
I turned towards mom and stared at her. She is silently crying but I know that she won’t stop me anyway. That’s how she is. For years, she has been allowing me to follow the conviction
