Who is the old man named Yang?

*Who are you?* *Where are we?* That’s my question to the guy beside me. I look around the places and now one was there except us. *Hey! Did you hear me?* *Why we are here?* *I don’t have any idea what happening. How can we escape this place? How can we survive here? Theres no person here except us. What if theres a wild animals over there.* I started to cry after I said those words. How come we are here at this place, it this a dream? I slapped my face a couple of times hoping that it’s a dream but I am not. *Miss , please stop acting like it’s the end of the world. If you didn’t know the reason why we are here , I didn’t know also, so please instead of being pessimist , can you stay calm so that we find a way how to leave this place.* *Look! Theres no one here, who will help us? We are stranded in an island that has no life. Look at the place, just a sea and a forest. How can we survive here while we find ways to leave this place. Theres no food, theres no clean water, we have no clothes , we have no shelter.* *Miss, seems you are a rich kid. You didn’t know how to live in this kind of place? Do you see that forest? We can find a food there. Clean water? I can find a way just trust me. Shelter? We can make a temporary shelter out of woods and leaves and we can also make fire to cook. As per clothes, you can wear the same shirt , besides no one will smell us here.* I just stay quiet after he said those words. He seems knew how to live here then I will just followed him because I don’t have any idea how to survive in this place. I didn’t attend any camping when I was student and if I did its not like this. I never imagined that I will be in this kind of situation. We went to the forest to find something to eat. I am afraid as we entered that place because of the idea that theres a wild animal there but luckily theres nothing. *Did you see that? There a papaya fruit, we can get it as our food.* *I don’t eat papayas.* *Seriously? It is not time to be picky. Tsk* We continue to find some fruits in the forest that we can eat to survive. He also get some coconut fruit so that we can have a juice that will be an alternative to water. *See? We have now food to eat. I know you are starved already so you can now it, I will just find some woods and leaves so that we can have a shelter. Its almost night time so we need a shelter.* I started eating and because I don’t eat papayas I only ate bananas. After that I help him building our temporary shelter. *Hey! Its been a day since we are together here but we didn’t know each others name. Im LJ , and you are?* *Im Paolo but you can call me Pao. Hmm , LJ ? stand for what?* *LJ? Its Lian. Don’t ask for the meaning of J. I don’t want to answer it.* *Okay then, I understand.* *Hmm, Can I asked you something? Do we need to sleep together in one shelter?* *Yeah? Do you want to sleep alone in this place? If you want I can build another shelter again. Don’t worry about me , I will not touch you. So you are safe with me.* *Sorry for asking, I am just not comfortable with the idea of sleeping with a guy.* *My goodness. Are you okay? We are stranded here and then you think about those things? Okay, since you are not comfortable. I will just sleep outside.* *No, Im sorry. I didn’t mean that. We can sleep together.* Its night time , I don’t know what time it is but seems I am not sleepy. Maybe I am not comfortable thinking that I have a man beside me. I am facing the leaves wall of the shelter and I didn’t know if hes already asleep or not until *Are you still awake?* *Yeah. I am not sleepy yet. How can I sleep with this kind of place and situation.* *You have a point for that. I also felt the same thing and also thinking how we are here now. The last time that I know was I am in the train station talking to a man named Yang.* *Yang? The old man who was holding a black box and asking you to play with you?* *Yes! Do you know him?* *Yes. He was also the old man who approached me when I am inside the car and asking the same question.* ***Who is the old man named Yang? Hmm.*** `Authors note: To be honest I didn't know how I end up to write this story. Like what I said earlier on my post in noise.cash I cant manage to write an article earlier because the kid were didn't sleep. My plan is to write about a dream but end up with this one that was a way far from my dream.`
