The skinny young man was brought to be punished by the police. His eyes were droopy, his facial expression looked sad and regretful, the young man looked resigned, but after his hands were handcuffed, he asked to be taken to the hospital first to see his mother who had been in a coma for a long time in hospital. He looked at his mother for a long time, from his narrow eyes, tears fell down his cheeks.
What happened to the skinny young man?....
That night, after attending a seminar at the college. I went home alone by riding a motorbike while wanting to see and feel how the night atmosphere in the city was.
The beauty of the city looks more enchanting and also amazing when the night greets you; with the flickering light from the house lights, the lights from high-rise buildings, and from the headlights of vehicles that are like a swarm of fireflies with their lights that are said to be on the verge of extinction, the sound of sounds that are usually heard and felt during the day can be heard faintly. and not too bothersome, the breeze that gently blends the hair brings enough oxygen to freshen the chest. The cypresses in the wind rustle towards midnight.
Not like during the day; the combination of the sound of passing vehicles, the screams of the bus driver while looking for passengers on the road, the sound of offers of merchandise from hawkers, suddenly the children were singing, relying solely on applause, no songs were sung and no musical instruments were played, people people move quickly to look for and earn money, are chased by time and are pressured by work to make a living, no one greets each other or at least says, "Sorry bro, I'll go the way." street dust that has been mixed with smoke from vehicles and factories, all of which blend together to perfect the atmosphere of the city during the day.
The night felt very long unlike at home. I have lived in this country for more than two years. There seems to be some truth in that for someone who is waiting for a long time.
One night in the dry season. The silent night suddenly turned into a bustling crowd, a thief was caught in the act at the house of one of the residents named Mr. Gordon who was known as a rich merchant. After being brought to Mr. Lee house, a lot of people came to judge and curse the thief who looked young and thin.
"You, you have embarrassed our village, damn it. Our village is already well-known among intellectuals," grumbled Mr. Sonya, who every night has become an open secret for drunkenness and gambling.
"Let's just throw it out, sir, polluting the image of our village, this despicable human being," said Mr. Tomi, the head of the youth who once impregnated the children of people whose prospective babies were aborted.
"I agree," said Mrs. Tania, who looked like she wanted to join in on the conversation, she continued, "Let's just kick this kind of man out."
"Don't get kicked out, we have to know what the reason this young man is doing the thief" objected Mr. Bond
Mr. Bond approached the young man and asked the reason why he did a bad deed by committing a thief.
Mr. Bond approached the young man and asked the reason why he did a bad deed by committing a thief.
The young man raised his head from looking down, took something from his pants pocket, the object he took was a photo of his mother. the young man said, "I'm confused about where else to go to find money for my mother who is being treated at the hospital. I'm confused about who to borrow money from."
"That's the only reason. We've just kicked out this shameless young man from our village" said Mrs. Tania
From behind, people whispered to one another, "Even though she herself was caught cheating on her husband's friend one month ago."
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" after receiving various curses, insults and judgments, the thief cried and was followed by laughing out loud, like a madman. He approached people while continuing to say, "I'm currently being judged and cursed by the saints? I'm currently being judged and cursed by the saints? I'm currently being judged and cursed by the saints?
"
After all that happened, the thief was finally taken to the police station for legal proceedings.
Then it occurred to me, "Why do humans tend to forget their own shortcomings, forget their own mistakes and sins when judging other humans who have made the same mistake. Humans also tend to forget a thousand good things because they make one mistake. Humans like us are really funny."
