memories 2

Alex's point of view.

Ah, after a hard week's work, a beautiful holiday came.

I got up early as usual and looked at my beautiful wife sleeping next to me... After looking at her strange sleeping position, her hair that looked like a witch and the saliva flowing from her mouth, I still thought she was beautiful... in a special way.

I got up quietly and went to the bathroom and looked at myself in the Mirror .

with blue eyes and elegantly toned black hair to the side and a light beard, in addition to sharp eyebrows, a nose and a lip that suits my face and made it more handsome.

I stood there watching my face with a wide smile and said to the mirror, "Good morning handsome guy "

"Ah? Good morning dad...that's weird you not used to calling me like that it seems like a good day ".

I was surprised to see my son in the reflection of the bathroom mirror entering from the door with his towel holder and lazily wiping his eyes I thought 'damn good he thought I was talking to him I survived'.

I coughed a little and said, "It's also weird to see you get up so early so you deserve it."

I saw his lazy eyes wide open and looking in my direction . his look frightened me and then I heard him say "Isn't it 10 am?" He said with a look hoping I would say yes.

I shook my head and went to a window next to me and opened the curtains and looked at the view of a dark sky and a small part of sun shine which appeared on the horizon like a shy little girl, began to dislodge the darkness of the night and I looked at my son and said to him, "What do you see?".

I saw him walking to the window and opening it and then the fresh, cool air of this time started hitting our faces and removing the last traces of sleep on our faces and I heard him mutter, "Damn it looks like 5 am." I patted him on the back and said, "You're right and this is the best time to run. Now go get ready and let's run a little."

I heard him sigh and say, "Oh, it looks like the clock has broken again... what am I going to do. Let me take a shower and I'll get ready... and dad also needs a new clock." I replied with a laugh, "Why? I like this click, haha."

After a few minutes

On the street you could see two 6-foot-tall people running on a sidewalk, air steaming from their mouths, and a few drops of sweat falling from their faces and shining with the shy sunshine.

"Dad, where are we going to run?" I heard my son, panting a little. My eyes were looking at the horizon and I told him, "Next to the river." He looked at me with a strange look and said, "Do you mean that plateau next to a river, it's 2 kilometers away or more?"

"Yeah it's .".

"Oh.... damn." As soon as I heard him grumble, I started laughing and told him, "The last person to get there is going to wash the car." And then I drove off.

I heard him screaming, "What? When did you agree to that? Uh-hah, damn it! Wait for me, it's not fair You started before me. "And thus you can see a son and a father running, and each person trying to outdo another, and the sun has begun to appear and its shyness disappears as it illuminates the path in which a father and a son run."

"I won," I said to my father, who fell behind me on the grass like a corpse. I could hear him breathing hard and heard him say, "Water, I want water."

"Come on, look at your condition, you know it's not a good time to drink water, relax a little, and I'll give you a bottle of water," I said while drinking the water I bought next to the vending machine. 'Swallow' 'Swallow' I have been drinking water and cold water drops falling into my stomach and cooling my body as if it were hot metal entering cold water. I screamed "Wow, so refreshing!!" I looked at my son who was looking at the water and he was panting and a look of pity in his eyes, but I ignored him and said to him "Go and rest." I said it while pointing to him by moving with one hand and the other I was drinking with water and looking at the waters of a river that shimmer under the light Sun .

"I hate you," said Ace, crawling toward a nearby tree and leaning on it, looking out at the calm waters of a river.

"It's not fair, you started before me," said my son, turning to me.

" so what ? " . I replied without expression, I caught him looking at me in a strange way so I sighed and turned to him and said, "You know an unfair life... I have shown you an important lesson in this race."

"What do you mean?" he replied with a skeptical look on his face.

"How do I explain to you... Now imagine this race is life and that all human beings are participating in a race and they all want to reach the finish line first, which means to become rich or famous or whatever you want... Now before the race starts Everyone has a rank from first to last right?This arrangement means that every person who is rich or intelligent or has special means that help him in life and make it easy will be in the first ranks and the rest of normal human beings in the rest of the ranks now don't you think that this is unfair?Yes It's unfair but it's true.After that a race started and everyone has their own speed and that speed is hard work and dedication to success where these are people who start overtaking others towards the front and maybe overtaking the top ranks but after running for a while they start Tired... thirsty... hungry. That's why they start slowing down and the people in the first ranks who have the means for a crisis stay at the same speed and may even increase in speed. Now you will think how you will beat them? It's easy. You should look for shortcuts.. It's not as if life told you To run in the same line you should look for short paths that make you reach the finish line easily so you should look for these paths and avoid people who will make others come to you In the ass..these are people who know they won't win so they make a hard road to the successful so you should avoid them... Anyway now you know what person I want you to be? I asked my son, who looks at me in shock, and then replied, "He who chooses shortcuts," I answered, "wrong." I saw him look at me as if he was saying 'You're kidding me?' So I replied "I want you to be someone who stays in the starting line...don't look at me like that I want you to remember...in all the races in the starting line what's there?...everything!!! Everything you need to get to the finish line.. but all the people ignore this because they want to get to the finish first so I want you to focus on a starting line before you start a race... Now it depends on you how to understand what I said after I finished my lecture I saw My son looks at me brightly and says "I see!! "." Haha, this is my son, so what do you understand?" Then I sat next to my son and waited for his answer, and he said, "I understand that I don't need to wash a car and you will give me water," he said with a wide smile. After hearing his answer I fell to the ground and said, "What?" Boy, were you listening to me or what?" I looked at him and found him rubbing his ear and saying, "If I listen to you, will I be your son?" I froze at his answer but answered, "You know…you have a point lol." After I finished I started laughing as I handed a water bottle to my son who grabbed it at lightning speed and started drinking it nonstop.

Cough Cough after laughing I started coughing so hard I covered my mouth and after a coughing fit I removed my hand to find blood on it I thought 'damn not again' Then I secretly wiped the blood on grass and after my son finished his water he asked me "Are you ok" I answered him and I Show my hand muscles of course I'm fine!! I'm the strongest person in the world!!" I said proudly but I heard my son say "Really?" with a skeptical look.

"Come on, stop looking at me like that, now get up and let's go home," I said as I stood up and pulled my son to stand up, and then he said, "Okay, well, go ahead, Mr. Strongest person in the world."

You can see a father walking in an exaggerated way and his son looking at a spot in the grass where blood drips down and then looking at his father's back and shouting "Wait for me!!" And at this time a father hugging his son tightly continued their walk towards the house.
