A CONFESSION

"I love you. Can you be my boyfriend?"

A confession? For me? Impossible. Is this just a dream or reality? I can't believe that someone would confess to me. My heart beat so fast. What is this feeling?

Oh God, why I can't even open my mouth. This was the first time a girl talked to me. If I can remember correctly, isn't she Erika, the famous idol that will make everyone stunned with her beautiful voice?

Erika is so pretty. She has all the galaxy fill inside her eyes. Besides, her hairstyle makes her look cute. Maybe that's why many people fall in love with her.

"Why?"

"Huh."

"Why do you love me? We don't even know each other. Is this a joke? Why does a famous idol like you want to date people like me."

"The truth is I am a new transfer student. I like you because you look cool when you have the sword fight at Warrior Challenge Competition."

My emotion changed after I heard that. My heart broke after hearing Erika's answer. Same as everyone always think about my skill but not me. Now I know the answer that I can give to her.

"I'm sorry. Unfortunately, I can't accept your feeling."

"Can I know what the reason is?"

"Just like everybody. You don't even care about my feeling. People like you always think about my skills. That's why I stop." I said with a cold voice before walking away.

Stupid person. I don't want to deal with that person anymore. It seems the sky has changed color to reddish-orange. I need to return home quickly.

-----<>----

"Aaaahhhh. Finally, I arrive."

When I arrive home, I see my yard full of slippers.

"There is something suspicious," I whisper to myself.

I open the door and walk in. The living room is filled with people dressed in black. There is a picture of someone in the middle of the room. I know this day will come. HALLOWEEN. Great decoration. I almost believe there is a death ceremony here.

"Finally, you return home, Leon," said dad.

"I have things to take care of."

"Are you practicing sword fight again?"

"I have stopped. After this, can you don't mention the word sword in front

of me."

I rush to the room and lay on the bed. After a few minutes, the exhaustion overcame me. My eyes could not stand to stay open. Finally, my spirit was sent to the realm of dreams.

After wandering in the realm of dreams, my soul finally returned to its body. I rub my eyes as I head to the kitchen. NO FOOD. My stomach starts to rumble.

"Do you hungry?" asked dad.

"Yes."

My father invited me to buy fast food at a nearby grocery store. We only walk there. I raised my head to look at the sky.

As the moon is accompanied by sparkling stars that fill the dark sky. And I don't want to mention how violent the wind was in the night.

"Do you know I don't care if you quit playing sword?"

"Isn't our ancestor tradition."

"Enjoy your life, my son. You have no obligation to carry our family tradition. Your life, your choice."

My father is right. I can do whatever I want because this is my life. Now I have nothing to worry about anymore.

"Looks like we have arrived."

"I will wait outside," I reply.

I watch the sky again to eliminate all the problems that I ever experience from my mind. From now on, I will never touch a sword.

"Run!!!" My father shouts to me.

"Run?"

I can't understand what my father is trying to say. He ran towards me and pushed me until I was thrown against the wall. When I turned my head to my father, I saw my father hit by a truck.

"Impossible. This is a dream, right. How could something like this happen?"

However, this madness is not over yet. A man comes out of the truck and walks toward me slowly. The man holds a knife.

"You..you are the one who makes Erika cry. So you must die to vanish your sin. Send greetings to the devil in hell." Said the man with an angry tone.

Am I going to be the next victim and die?
