Yu Bin. Immortal Of Water Land

Why Did You Do It?

*Mom ... do you hate me now?*

Just thinking about it, the young man feels like he's suffocating. It seemed that the air was no longer reaching his lungs, and his heart was tightening rapidly.

What if his mother tells him that she really hates him?

If he tells him that he will never forgive him? What should he do in this case?

However, this thought did not give him peace. Whatever the answer was, he had to ask.

Breathing deeply, with tears in his eyes, looking at his mother, who was looking everywhere, but at him, the young boy asked the question

"Mom ... do you hate me?"

The boy asked, and his mother looked at him confused. "Why would I hate you?"

His mother's answer caught him off guard. Didn't she know what he did? Didn't she see? Why is she asking him now? Gathering his strength and trying to control himself from the crying that was ready to suffocate him, the boy tries to explain to his mother "Because I ... because .... " but he could not say more. The crying that threatened him a moment earlier completely suppressed it and the young boy began to cry bitterly.

What should he do now? He was a criminal... what could he say... if his mother hated him, she had every right.

"It's okay, don't worry, mom is here. I will protect you." She said, hugging the young crying boy.

There is no mother in the world who does not feel the pain of their child. There is no mother in the world who hates her children, and then, how could she hate her own son.

Just hearing his question, she felt her flesh tremble and her blood freeze in her veins. She had not let her son come to visit her so that he would not be sad, but her son was already trapped in a bitter despair, believing that she hated him. How could she hate him when her love for her son surpassed any existing feeling.

All she wanted was for her son to be happy, but she could never do it. She wanted him to be safe but never had the strength to defend him in front of her husband. They were both beaten, but when her son was beaten, it hurt a thousand times more than she was beaten. When he beat her, her whole body hurt, but when her son was beaten, her soul hurt because she couldn't do anything.

She felt how her soul was torn and torn into pieces, her heart tightened and she bit her lips in pain. She wished she could have at least a little more strength to defend her son in front of that bastard, but no matter how desperately she prayed, it seemed that there was no one to hear her.

"And who will protect you? Who will protect you, mother? Do you think I'll be happy you'll take the blame? Mom ... I'm dying from so much pain, Mom, I don't want to see you here, Mom it's too painful."

The boy cried out in pain.

*How can she take the blame? Why? What kind of mother is she? Why does she love a son like him? He left and left her alone with that beast, but she still wanted to protect him. Why? *

A lot of thoughts went through his head, and his heart ached harder and harder.

"Then don't ."

"Huh? .... what are you saying, mother?"

"If you can't see me if it hurts, don't come to see me. See you when I go out."

"Mother, please .... the boy shouted, and his mother winced."

"Son ...." The old fragile woman didn't know what to say anymore. Whatever she would sai, whatever she would do, seemed to hurt her son more.

"Mom, please let me do it. " Her son said calmly, this time his voice becoming warm again. With tears in his eyes, he grabbed his mother's hands and said again:

"Please let me do it mother, if I tell the truth I will be happier, mother, he deserves to die, he was hurting you so I will tell the truth and I will pay for what I did. .. don't you want me to be happy, mother?"

"That's all I want. I want you to be happy. "

Tears began to flow down her face and fall on her hands.

"But mom ... would I ever be happy if I knew you were to be blamed? I can't let you do that mom. I have to confess, I have to take responsibility for what I've done.

I will turn myself in, I will tell the truth. I will not let my mother suffer for my sins. I will face the consequences of my actions, no matter what they may be.

I may have killed a demon, but I have also lost a part of myself in the process. I will never be the same again. But I will do whatever it takes to make things right. I will carry this burden with me for the rest of my life, but I will not let it define me. I will find a way to move forward, to find peace and redemption in the midst of this tragedy."

The woman looked at their hands, and tears streamed down her cheeks. She already knew what her son was like, that's why she didn't want to talk with him until now. She knew her son was a good man, but she somehow hoped to leave things as they were.

"Can you let me be this time?" Said the young man, looking his mother in the eyes as her tears fell one by one, losing their number.

If his mother didn't hate him, it was enough. All he needed to endure everything was to know that his mother still loves him, that his mother does not hate him for what he did. That she is with him. All this was enough.

His mother nodded and began to cry once more, holding his hand tightly. She felt that if she let go of his hand, she would lose him forever. She didn't want to let him go. In her eyes, he was innocent. He does not deserve to go to prison. Not after everything he suffered since he was a small child. While children of his age were playing in the park, he was working with her at a place. Then they both went home where they were beaten until they fainted and when they woke up they didn't have a penny left. That bastard steals their money and drinks them all. Then he would come home and ask for food. There were whole days when the two of them endured hunger, beatings and troubles because of that bastard and now he have to go to prison as well?

"Thank you, mother, thank you for giving birth to me. Thank you for raising me, if possible, mother ... Can you be my mother in the next life too? I love you so much, mom."

"I love you too."

She said and hugged him tightly as she wept on his shoulder.

After crying for a while, they relaxed and discussed what to do. Meanwhile, Yu Bin came, and she took their statement.

The woman received a fine for trying to mislead the police, and the boy was sentenced to ten years in prison. He was calmer now. His mind seemed clearer now. It was good to know that his mother did not hate him. He now knew how much his mother loved him, and these 10 years would not be too long at the thought that ten years later, he would be with his mother.

*Yu Bin .... always remember, what you think is white to others may be black and what you think is black may be completely white to someone else ... *

"Ah, I understand now. So that's what you want to say, master. It's a tragic situation for sure. It's heartbreaking to think about the suffering this person endured from a young age, only to end up in a situation where they felt they had no choice but to commit a crime. It's a reminder of the cycle of violence and poverty that can trap people in desperate situations. It's important to consider the circumstances that led to this tragic outcome and to address the root causes of such issues in society. * Yu Bin thought sighing.

"Congratulations, boss."

Moon said, holding out his hand and smiling.

"Congratulations, boss, we have to go for a drink tonight and celebrate." Xian Chen said, smiling with all his face.

"Um... we should."

"Xian Chen, please respect our boss."

" But I respect her, isn't it, boss?"

"Hm ... right, " Yu Bin said, slapping him on the back.

"Let's go, Xian Chen, Moon, we need some refreshing time."

"Boss, we're working tomorrow, don't get drunk, please."

"When did I ever get drunk? Yu Bin asked confidently."

"Always. " Xian Chen answered hurriedly, laughing hard.

"Xian Chen, please keep your mouth shut. " Moon said, exasperated by the behavior of his young colleague.

In his mind, his boss is the best, but when he looks at her, he feels that she is not like them, so he respects her very much. While Xian Chen always behaves as if she is not his superior or something. What's worse is that Xian Chen sometimes takes her as a family member or something.

Shortly after arriving at the restaurant, Yu Bin got completely drunk and started harassing Xian Chen.

"Boss, I think we should go home, we have work tomorrow. Moon said, trying to pull Yu Bin up. She had put herself in Xian Chen's arms and was still talking nonsense."

"I think you should leave her alone. She won't remember anything tomorrow anyway. " Xian Chen said with a tender smile

"Shut up, crazy .... " Moon couldn't go on. Xian Chen's eyes became dangerous. Every time Yu Bin got drunk, she put herself in Xian's arms, and every time he tried to separate him, it happened the same way. Xian Chen was becoming very dangerous. Maybe that was why he didn't want to drink. Because these two here are changing their usual behavior.

"You can leave, I'll take care of Yu Bin..."

*Yes, that's what we were talking about. He's a different person when Yu Bin gets drunk. Usually, he's boss here, boss there, smiling and fooling around, but when she gets drunk, he becomes like that,* Moon thought and left quietly.

"Xian Chen, why did you do that?" Yu Bin started to cry

"I'm sorry...." Xian Chen responded tenderly, looking down, a tear flowing smoothly down his cheek.

"Why did you do it?" Yu Bin asked again, and Xian Chen felt so dirty…

"I'm sorry..."

"Did you have to kill them all?" She asked, condemning

"I'm sorry..." Xian Chen couldn't say anything anymore. He was sorry, he was sorry. If there was something he felt sorry for in his life, it was the thing he was guilty of in his master case. Whatever he does, he can't change the past. Tears fell without notice, and his heart trembled in pain

What he had done was unforgivable, and he knew that he would have to live with the guilt for the rest of his life.

"I don't know why I did it," Xian Chen finally spoke, his voice barely above a whisper.

Yu Bin looked at him with a mixture of sadness and disbelief. She had known Xian Chen for years, and she never would have imagined that he was capable of such violence.

"I don't know if I can ever forgive you for what you've done," Yu Bin said, her voice trembling with emotion.

Xian Chen nodded, tears streaming down his face. He knew that he had a long road ahead of him, filled with regret and remorse. But he also knew that he had to try to make things right, no matter how difficult it may be.

"I will do whatever it takes to make things right," Xian Chen vowed, his voice filled with determination.

"If you're a killer, why do I love you?"

"I'm sorry ...."

"No, I don't love you, I hate you, you killed my beloved master.......

"I understand your anger and grief. I cannot change what I have done, but I can try to make amends in any way possible. I am truly sorry for the pain I have caused you."

"I don't want your apologies or your attempts at redemption. You took away someone I cared for deeply, and nothing you do can ever make up for that. Just know that I will never forgive you for what you've done."
