Chapter 1.3.: The day We get to know ourselves

Hey there. I am Jimmy, jim in short, 19 years old and with not a lot of hobbies. I like soccer and baseball but to call them my hobby will be too much for me. I used to play soccer and baseball while I was in school that time even I thought those are my hobbies, that time whenever I had to introduce myself I used to say 'soccer and baseball' after school I realized no they're not my hobby cause it started to bore me. But if I strictly have to say what my hobby is then it'll be kicking and swinging rod.

Don't get a wrong impression of mine, I'm a student of National Science University, one of the best university in the world. But if you ask me, is it true? Then I will ask you a simple question, how good is you at self study.. cause if you're good at that then I think you don't have to die hard prepare for this university, even middle ranked universities will suffice you but if you're bad at self study then forget it about entering here cause you'll be on your own here. Just remember life is very fast here, no one has time for you even the professors teaching here have there own researches going on and if you can't provide them something about his research then you're waste of time for him. And I get in here through the entrance exam they took every year, I was one of the last ranked guys.

As for my friends, I don't have any. The guys I know are just some people for me who either I'll forget or they'll forget me, if we stop meeting each other once in a while for some work, so I don't consider them as a friend. According to me you don't need a reason or work to meet a friend once in a while. Friends are someone with whom you can always hangout even when pockets of both us are empty.

By the way I am a little strange too, actually weird cause sometimes I can see if someone's going to die. I didn't had this power before but after an accident my mind and eyes started showing me this. But when I was kid I use to had strange dreams. One of that which I frequently use to see is this one, I find myself standing in front of a very old and tattered house in mid night and two other people - a man and a woman are standing right in front of me with their back facing me, after sometime a very strange guy dressed in full strange black clothes from hoodie on head to gown sweeping on the floor cane to those people and saying something to them and then those people will say "please let him live, please, this is our last request to you, if you want you can take us both but please let him live." Those two people always use to say this to that black hoodie guy. There are other dreams too where those two people used to go in graveyards and other strange places and houses. But I always use to ignore those dreams after waking up afterall you'll have to take care of yourself in an orphanage. There is no one in this world to take care of you not even your mother even if you're a 5 year old child, that's why you're in orphanage.

As long as I can remember, I don't know who my parents are, I haven't even see them. The only thing I know about them that they were from US living in this country for a year or two and when they were here I was born. They were Paranormal Activities experts. And when I was a 1 year old they died in a car accident, I was also with them but I was unharmed but according to my file reports when doctors found me, I was in a mental shock from that car accident cause my eyes were wide open and staring unblinking at my dead parents bodies. After the accident the authorities here contacted the US embassy and asked for my relatives. But it was found out that there were no relatives of them there, they had already sold their house there and were planning to settle in this country. The landlord of their rented apartment told police that on the day of accident they had gone to see a house for buying it and eventually settle in it but he had no clue which house they went to see. Even after some investigation authorities found nothing as well as not even a single guy came out to take my claim.

When I was a child I used to think that the caretaker of the orphanage, Sarah, a middle aged woman was my mother, that woman used to be a sweet kind caring in front of us. In orphanage cause of my foreigner look I used to stand out much among the kids around me. They as well as Sarah used to treat me quite well. Especially Sarah, I was kind of pampered by her and so I became quite arrogant and kind of boss in the orphanage.

One day I was going to meet Sarah in her office when I heard she was talking to someone. So I decided to wait outside till he leaves.

"So when should we come for that kid" came a man's voice from the other side of the door.

" This Sunday will be perfect and there also an inspection coming in three days so" that a woman's voice while replied, this was Sarah's voice.

"Inspection? At this time of the year? Doesn't they usually come during Christmas time? Why're they coming so early?" asked the man

"Don't know? According to 'that idiot' the authorities has decided to do this inspections twice in a year now" said Sarah

"Who is coming for the inspection this time, 'that idiot' again?" asked the man in chuckled voice

"Yes, him again. You don't have to worry I am taking care of that video, till we have that video he will never dare to disobey us" said Sarah with almost laughing.

"You're a dangerously smart woman who knows how to use her assets perfectly well, that's why I fear you the most." Said the man while laughing "here is your share and now I think I should go".

" One more thing, remember to take care of that kid. There's a lot of demand of foreigners in that industry, we can't let that slip can we? From next year we will start his training. Once he get our fully trained pet in few months, we can use your method and get so many under our control".

"I know, he's going to make us rich so how can I treat him like dirt and he's even going to our pet from next year" replied Sarah.

"One more thing, what happened to that sick kid" asked Sarah about some kid.

"That bastard was so weak, after working only for two years he died so those bastard started annoying me and blaming me for selling them a weak kid. So I had to pay back some of their money back. You owe me this one" told the man.

" You know you could have sold his body organs and get some of your money back" advised Sarah.

"Those bastards had already done that and when I asked they told me that they had done that to recover their looses. These rich bastards always think us dirt. Just few more years" said the guy.

After hearing about death and body organs I lost in thoughts and even forgot why I had even came there for, and went back.

Next day Sarah told us that on Sunday a family is coming to adopt Sammy, the youngest kid among us big boys who are not still in the cradle.

I got jealous of him, he was going to be adopted. At that time for me adoption means going to a new house of your own and place, every wanted that but he got lucky. Many among us are adopted every often and everytime I get jealous but this time I thought of an idea to scare him so he refuse getting adopted and then I'll come and ask and plead Sarah and that family to adopt me. I thought my plan was brilliant. So I told him that Sarah is actually selling him to that family so that they can cut out his organs and sell them.

"What? No, you're just being jealous of me cause I'm getting adopted but you're not" retort Sammy

"You really are an idiot, I'm telling you this cause I don't want you to die" I told him.

"How can I die after getting adopted, I'll go to a new home, my own home and place and new place for just me" he said happily.

"Really, then tell me one thing. Who you think mother love most in the orphanage?" I asked him.

"That's is you" said Sammy with a sad expression.

"Then tell me why would she never let me get adopted?" I asked him "She loves me the most so she must have wanted me to be the one to have my own house and all those things. Don't you think?"

"Cause..." he was trying to think something to retort me but I can now see the hesitation in him. Now he was scared.

That day I tried to convince him more and at last I made him swear to not to tell anything that I had told him and then I left. After that I saw him going to Sarah's room maybe saying that he don't want to be get adopted.

Next day some people come for the inspection and everything went normal like it always does except one thing which made Sarah and the guys from the inspection frown. Cause Sammy looked scared and hesitant about something but when they asked him the reason, he didn't say anything and the head of the inspection team didn't forced him more.

After they left, we found out that Sammy is missing. Everyone searched him in the orphanage but he was not there. I was happy to hear that cause now I can see my plan succeeding and thought one more day and I'll be at a new home.

That night when I was going to Sarah's room to tell her that I want to be get adopted. When I reached her room I heard screaming and begging of a boy coming from her room. Someone was beating him while saying " You piece of shit, trying to run away", "I am going to break your legs, you dared to ruin our plans". A man and a woman's voice was coming from the room. I recognized both of the voices, it was Sarah's and that man's voice. I stood there motionless hearing those things. After a while I heard the screaming and begging voice fading away and "Throw him in that room for tonight and I will deliver him to those guys when they come tomorrow. When the kids in orphanage ask about him, tell them that he ran away from the orphanage and we couldn't find him."

After that the man came out with Sammy in his arm like he was carrying a baggage, I was Sammy without clothes and red and black belt cut marks on his back, some places where bleeding, something shiny like red saliva on his whole facing and dripping from his mouth maybe. Both of his hands was lifelessly hanging from his body.

I kept standing there maybe scared or something but that day I felt fear and absolute fear from Sarah and come to realization that our mother is not a good and sweet person but a cruel and heartless woman.
