An average undergraduate student who was bored with his life was silently staring at the limitless dark sky. There were no stars nor was there any moon present, all there was but endless darkness.

'Sigh..sigh...acca or ca? my luck sure ran out..sigh' the endless sighing youth was standing on the balcony of his house, his body bent, while leaning on the wall.

'Son you do know that girls don't like men who sigh alot, don't you?' a somewhat young women's sweet voice rang in the youth's ear, snapping him out of his melancholy.

'waaah Ma! you scared the heck out of me, how many times do I have to tell you knock before you enter my room, damnit I am an adult now'

'Yes you are, my lovely little young adult' the women said while rubbing his hair with her hand, spoiling her son without showing restraint.

'Its that time already..deep breaths'

'why are you so tense, there should be absolutely no pressure on you, just tell your dad and me what you want to do, come your dad is waiting in the living room' her comforting words were wasted on her son as they entered his left ear and passed through his right ear.

With some hesitation the youth called Keta finally followed his mom downstairs. His clothes were in a total mess, and even some deep sweaty smell was leaking out from his clothes.

It could very possibly be because the last time he took a bath was a week ago.

The small distance to the living room took an eternity to cross. Keta was already sweating profoundly, he could even hear his own heart smashing against his chest producing 'boom.booom' sounds.

As he arrived in the living room, which was decorated with all kind of things like the hide of a bear hung on the front sparkling white wall and beside it were photos nicely hanged.

But Keta didn't even spare another glance at them as he nervously took his seat on a rose colored red couch which could host four more people.

Right next to his couch was placed an one seater sofa, sitting on it was a middle aged man, clearly age had taken a toll on his once handsome face leaving behind the inescapable scars of time.

His eyes emitted a special kind of radiance showing his rough experience in the cruel and merciless world. Yet despite all these, his natural smiled hinted a trace of gentle warmth aimed towards his only son.

Ignoring his father's questioning gaze, Keta randomly looked around the living room, in his view came decorations worth millions but nonetheless nothing could stop his wavering eyes.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

His eyes were focused on the pictures hanging on the wall. 'My forefathers sure had it easy hunting bears and bulls and growing old with pride in their bones..sigh'

'Keta, I hope you have come to a decision, the admission deadlines is already upon us' a strict voice echoed in his ears, as he finally somehow faced his father.

'I don't know..I can do whatever you want' replied Keta, even though the words that came out of his mouth were firm his trembling legs gave away his current situation.

Pin drop silence, for a moment there was not a single sound. The air suddenly became heavy as tension began to suffocate the two opposing men.

'Why must you be so lazy...all your friends already sent their admission and guess what? none of them told you about it.'

'You know Rin, she topped in A levels and look at you, you barely passed. At least put in some effort now and think what do you want to be?'

Ken didn't say a word, he just kept staring daggers at his father because he knew this is not the end.

'Never before in our mighty Oni'Ho'Nay have been anyone so lazy and useless, even the servants of our glorious family fare better than you...tell me son, why must you sully our family's hard earned name?' cried his father, at this moment his eyes were glowing under the light but he quickly drank his tears.

Now Keta finally lost his calm. 'Family this, family that, can't I just live my life peacefully as monks if its not going to become excited' screamed his heart. But before he could voice out his anger and long built up frustration a strange sound reached his ears totally startling him.

Keta knew beside his mom and dad no one was allowed inside the living room, the guards even more so since they aren't even permitted in the house.

He looked at his father, trying to confirm if he heard what he heard but when he looked at his father's face, he was deeply scared.

At this moment, his father's expression was truly hideous, his eyes were fully opened, his face showing obvious disbelief. Never before in his entire life have Keta seen such an expression on his father's face. He was looking at something, something that was behind Keta.

Humans are curious creatures and Keta is no exception, he turned his head backwards and what he saw almost took his soul away.
