The outside world has change in every corner of it. It's like he's in a different dimension. Everything is new to him, in this era he doesn't know a single human, he remember his family and he tried to find them but no luck at all. It seems that they already dead but a hope has showed up finding out that he had a grandson and he owned a big company making him a successful person.
The Journey
His journey is about to begin in finding his grandson without any help from others. He is lucky enough that the conpany of his grandson is near to his current location. He just need to walk few meters to get there and to be able to meet his grandson.
Since his grandson is a successful person and owns a big company , it's security inside and outside the building was tight and that hinders him from entering inside the building. He slept outside just to wait for his grandson but he can't get a chance to meet him. Every single day he tries to enter the building by being nice with the security , he almost gave up in his goal to meet up with his grandson but he's so eager to meet him and don't give up at all.
Hope
One day , saturday morning, a car has parked infront of the building and a man came out of the car guarded by many man in black. It seems that this man is the one he's waiting to meet and his mind was not wrong because luckily he is. He rushed towards that guy and tried to introduce himself but the man just ignored him and blocked by the security.
At that moment he shouted his surname and say out loud that he is his grandfather. The man got interested in what he is saying and decided to call him inside his office. So finally the grandfather was able to meet his grandson and he's very happy.
The man has a lot of question to his grandson and thesame goes for the grandson. The first question of his grandson is " Where have you beenall this time and why I hadn't see you in my entire life and you said that you're my grandfather but look at you , you are younger than me."
The grandfather answer all the questionof his grandson particularly those first questions. The grandfather said " First of all I'm thankful for being alive despite being locked up inside a dark container". He answered that he had a job back then and that is killing rats in a pickle factory and one day the rats joined forces and attack him and destroying the factory. An incident happened where in he fell down to a pickle container and they unconsciously locked him up inside the container. " I am locked up in that container for almost 100 years, spending my life in a dark prison but I don't give up and don't loose hope that one day I can get out and be able to see the sunrise again." It's magical that the preservatives meant to preserve the pickles also preserve his body and his youth, making him alive for almost 100 years.
This explanation of the man touched the heart of the successful person and decided to run a DNA test and the result was positive so he made up his mind to take care his grandfather and help him to stand up again. From nothing to something and from that something he strive hard to attain everything again.
