Ch.1: Romav

On a rainy day, where there is no place to escape from this falling bullets but the fortified houses. A young boy walks in the street corners, dressed in torn clothes with a damp cover..

( Is there no shelter from this heavy rain?)

( Where will I live from now on? )

Suddenly, without warning, a man running in the rain and covering his head with his coat, takes the young boy's hand..

" W- .. Who are you? !! what do you want !!"

The boy asked with tension and fear..

"Come, my son, you seem to be lost, shelter at my place until the rain is over "

The man answered him..

But he refuses to obey and tries to escape but the man carries him and is running with him , and the boy is still trying to escape..

( Huh? Who is this man ? Why does he hold my hand and take me? Does he pity me? Or wants to kill me? What does he think?!! )

" Leave me, get away from me, I do not need anybody's help."

The boy screams, trying to get away from him..

The man and the boy arrive at his house and enter it..

" Andrew, where were you? You were late and we get surprised by the rain so we were worried about you. "

His wife talks worriedly and she looks at him closely find him carrying a young boy..

" Who is this boy, Andrew?!"

She asks him surprisingly..

" Yes, this boy, I found him homeless in the rain and I could not leave him, he will stay with us until we know where is his family."

( What ? Is this just what you want? To house me?!! Is there still someone like this? Are not they afraid that I would rob them ?!! )

" Come on, son, go with my wife to give you some clothes to sit in. Your clothes are not fit to wear them."

" Give me your hand, son, to take you to the room to change your clothes."

With kindness looks on her face, the boy goes with her without hesitation or fear..

( Who are these nice people? I never expected to find someone who would care for me after I had lost my family.)

Minutes later, the boy comes down with Andrew’s wife, Carmen, wearing other clothes..

" Mother .. Father .. It's dinner time."

Their daughter calls them after she has finished preparing the dinner table..

Andrew and his wife sit and he talks to the boy..

" Sit down son, beside my daughter, to eat with us."

With no expression except exhaustion, he obeys Andrew’s order and sits next to his daughter who is wondering at the boy's presence..

" Father, who is this boy? Where did he come from?"

" We do not know yet, my daughter, but he seems to be lost for along time, we will eat and then we will ask him about everything."

( Oh .. My family.. Yes .. They were so kind ..The same beautiful spirit prevailed .. but .. )

They eat and the girl looks at him and she is curious about him..

After dinner, everyone sits in the living room and starts asking the boy what they are thinking of..

"Tell me, son, where did you come from and where is your family?"

Andrew asks him, waiting for an answer from the boy..

"Well, I do not know anything except that I am from this kingdom .. And about where is my family? .. My family has gone so far that I can not reach them."

Everyone wonders what the boy is talking about..

"What do you mean by they are so far away ... Could they have ... died?!! "

Carmen wonders, astonished..

"I do not even want to think about it .. Haha, it seems to be so shocked to me not to cry over them until this time."

The boy says desperately and sadly..

"Listen, son .. I do not want to put pressure on you but to tell what is painful is good .. Talking about it may end this inner torment and bring out tears that have not come out .. Trust me and tell me my dear ."

He says with a nice smiling face and a quiet smile giving a feeling of fatherhood..

( He reminds me of my father .. When I grieve, he comes to me and tells me these words, smiling like that tender smile .. I think I will remove all the barriers and unleash my tongue to express what is inside me.)

The boy speaks to himself declaring trusting them..

"Hmmm .. Well, yes they died .. They died unfairly .. Just because we passed by the army road and it was coming back .. They only found their leader telling them to kill us and those who opposed would be militarily tried and executed .. They only found that they would obey him, but who would have killed me, took a risk and decided to do optical magic to deceive his commander to appear before him as if he killed me .. Then he smuggled me from that place and kept apologizing to me and saying that they also had family and they had to obey the orders .. I was not listening to him, all my mind was to remember the scene of my family begging him not to kill them or to forgive us the young but I found only my family getting killed before me without mercy .. How unfortunate this is .. I could not even cry from the shock . "

Everyone is shocked by his story, they are so affected that the girl and her mother have cried that a young boy like this is going through this painful event ..

"Well, and how did you come to this city by yourself ? "

Andrew asks the boy..

" The soldier asked me about our destination and I pointed to him in the direction and he told me that there is a town in this way .. He made me walk in the forest so that their leader would not see me until I reached here .. Well, it was tired and it was good that he gave me enough food and water to get here . "

This boy is talking with eyes that have no life ..

"Well, you will live with us from now on, son, and you will be a member of the family."

Andrew decides this after hearing what happened to this boy..

"Well, boy, my name is Emily, I was honoured to know you."

Emily speaks suddenly..

"What is your name, son, and what do you aspire to after this?"

Andrew asks the boy..

Suddenly the boy's eye shines and the tears fall without warning and he begins to cry ..

"What is there, my son? What is wrong with you? If the question is difficult for you, there is no problem to not answer it."

Carmen talks worriedly..

"No No, no problem .. Only these are the tears that should have fallen when I watched my family being killed in front of me."

The boy speaks as he tries to hold himself and stop crying..

" My name is Romav and I was aiming to apply for the Magic School to be in the army, but now my goal is bigger after what had happened to my family and after meeting you .. I want to be in higher positions until I change this world for the best whatever the means. "

Romav says with an angry face, ignorant of what he will face in the future to make his dreams come true ..
