Connecting With Infinity

Family

Arin was returning to home, but then he suddenly felt a stare on his back when he passed by a flower shop.

He slowly turned his head and looked at his back, for his surprise he saw a black and white fur kitten cleaning it's face with paw, There is nothing other than that kitten in there at that moment.

Arin looked at the kitten for sometime and decided to buy it some snacks, he looked around him and saw a fish store.

Arin quickly get into the store and bought some small fishes, after that he bring those fishes to the kitten and gave those to the kitten.

The kitten enjoyed the fish, Arin looked at the kitten, after looking at it sometime he left it and returned to his apartment.

As soon as he arrived at the apartment he called Sean and told him to come quickly to his apartment.

A few hours later he heard a knocking on his front door, Arin opened it. It was Sean.

Sean - Arin why did asked me to come quickly?

Arin - i want show you something.

Sean - what is it?

Arin - you have zerxpay in your phone right?

Sean - yes, I do have zerxpay. Why are you asking about that now?

Arin smiled at him and told to Sean open the zerxpay, Sean asked Arin to why but Arin didn't answer him.

At last Sean kneels before arin's stubbornness and opend the zerxpay.

A sudden notification sound cane from seans phone, Sean looked at the notification.

Sean's eyes wide opened when he saw that notification.

[ ARIN PAYED 100K ZERX ]

Sean - w...wh...wha...what is this Arin, how did you get this much money?

At that time Arin was also surprised he thought in himself. ( How is this possible? So my account has actually unlimited amount of money? )

Sean called arin's name again and again but Arin didn't heard anything, finally Sean shake him while calling his name.

" Arinnn...."

Arin woke up from the thoughts and asked to Sean. " Wha...What? ".

Sean - did you hear anything that I said?

Arin - what did you said to me?

Sean put his hand on his head as of he is disappointed and said. " Where did you get this much money? Did you do anything bad? "

Arin shake his head. " No i didn't do anything bad, why are you assuming that I did something bad ? "

Sean - then where did you get this much money?

At first Arin was going to tell the truth that his account now has infinite money, but on the second thought he decided not to tell that to anyone else.

It's not because he didn't trust him, it's because it might cause harm to the people who are close to him.

Sean - what are you thinking so deeply?

Arin - nothing.

Sean - now tell me the truth, where did you gone this much money.

Arin - Sean, didn't i tell you about my dad's friend?

Sean - who that rich one who is now in another country? Isn't this his apartment you are now staying?

Arin - yes, that one. He send me this money that's how I got this much money one me. Do you think anyone else would give someone like me even 1 zerx.

Sean - haa, you are right. So why did that uncle send you this much money?

Arin lied again, " i don't know, i think he send this for my dad "

Sean - okay.. okay, here take this money back.

After saying that Sean returned the money to Arin.

Sean - Arin did you get the money?

Arin - no, why are you suddenly bringing the news?

Sean - so you didn't know?

Arin - know what? Don't try to play with me and tell what is so important in the news?

Sean - did you know the game dessert era? Yesterday some rich kid spend more than 30 million zerx on that game.

Arin started to sweating and asked to Sean " wh...why is it so important? Is...is it that great of a feat " even arin didn't know what he is saying. At that time Sean was looking at Arin and said. "yes it is, why are you saying that it's not. Have you ever saw someone who casually spend 30 million on a game "

Arin - no.

Sean - i heard that they're trying to find who is that person using the developers of dessert era.

Arin - b..bu...but did the developers help those reporters?

Sean - i don't think so, the developers are trying to secure their valuable clients privacy.

Arin - it's nice to hear that, they trying to hard for their client.

Sean - anyway your mom called me. She told me that you're not answering your phone.

Arin - i didn't hear the phone ringing, well i am going back to my house today.

Sean - is that so, when are you coming back.

Arin - i don't know.

Sean hugged Arin tightly and said " don't think about what those bullies are saying I'm always here for you."

A drop of tear came out from arin's eye and he said " i know, it is my luck that I have a friend like you "

" So i can send upto 100K using the app i would better buy something for my family as long as I have this money, if it's true about the quadrillion then I have unlimited amount of money for now. "

After that he changed his dress into the newly bought one and walk out of his apartment.
