12 --In The Beginning--
A journey may be long or short but it must start at the very spot one finds oneself...
In my 20 odd years of practicing humanity, in my mind, i was to undertake an odyssey that would change my life forever... I am now seated at my office-like chair in front of my pc...at the corner of my sweet confortable room in the most ulu place of Kuala Lumpur... *snicker*
I glanced at the familiar sight of floor-to-ceiling shelves of leather bounded books, the massive plastic rug, and the old and tattered sofa, al of which predate me. My enjoyment was simply interrupted with an UH-OH from my icq. The disgustingly sickening teletubbies sound alike shit thats was installed in icq...(jeez) Anyway, i saw the familiar nick of pendemonium on my monitor... It states there "Yo Dude, may i have a word with you?"
As i knew pandemonium online for more than 4 year, i have the faint idea that he is on the "SERIOUS" mode. I knew those words were reserved for the most serious and somber of circumstances.
"Shooot DuDe!" I replied in the fastest typing speed i can muster.
Pandemonium took sometime to reply, while i took my time, getting some ice lemon tea and snacks. Finally, the UH-OH sound came.. and i dont know why... this sound always pisses me off!!! Ok, heres the case...
Panedomonium told me that his filthy rich uncle has died. And he, being his favourite nephew, would surely recieve a million or two. But to his dismay, that didnt happen. Here is what happened actually... and I will write in the view of pandemonium (I find that its easier to narrate his side of the story this way...and of course, i can put in alot of interesting narration on the way! *GRINS GRINS* )
As of below, it is narrating from the point of Pandemonium! So if any idiots still dont get it after i give u all such obvious CLUES! Go kill yourself! :-p
I went to the lawyer's office as appointed. My mind was filled with glee and my head swirling with excitement. As expected, everyone was there, waiting for the will to be passed. I can sense the greed and gloat among everyone present and one would have mistaken it to be a passive battlefield... Then, the lawyer started adressing the will to everyone... one by one, everyone left the room and in the end... i was the only one left. My heart fell and my passion for my unexpected windfall failed me...i was infuriated! I glared at the lawyer with a look of rage, defiance and disrespect, i can almost feel the lifelong practise of selfish anger surface and brimming to the edge inside me. I slammed my god damn hand on his table and yelled at the lawyer "I knew that old man didnt like me... he has always hated me!!!" I knew that statement i made wasnt true but if i dont do tat, i would be a laughing stock to the solicitors present. So thinking, I started stomping out of the room.
"Not so fast eager one, your are indeed mentioned here in the will but at the very bottom for a very special cause!"
The lawyer exclaimed, with a cool voice, too cool for my taste and it seems that it has the kind of tingling excitement that trails after his voice... something that kept my interest.... So saying, i slid down into any chair available, with grimace on my face, not wanting to show any hope on my face.
The lawyer stared at me in silence..... i could feel the tingling sensation in my spinne.. tickling me... almost killing me. The silence is killing me soundly... I returned his cold stare, determined not to speak until he did. I guess patience comes to people who has aged and experience more life than me, finally, i could stand it no longer and blurted out indignantly... "Alright alright, wat did the old goat leave me? His stinking armchair? His smelly shirt? His...."
My words trailed off to silence as i noticed that the lawyer has not moved nor said anything ever since i sat down... His stare now sent creeps into my spines.... At last, he notioned me to sit nearer to him, and he handed out a piece of document to me...
I did juz that.
As i sat down and reached for the document, i whispered loudly... "I fucking bet its nothing!!"
The lawyer sat back onto his armchair and smiled. A smile that definitely seems like one that has an aftermath following behind it.
"Young man, it is, indeed, nothing(pasues)... and everything-- both at the same time."
I gave him a wild bewildered look which the lawyer returned with a sly grin...
to be continued... (Its Kenzoid turn to grin ;D)
