Chapter 2 - Let go

I live my life now seeing all kinds of things that no one can see. Suffering alone, seeing the important one dies right in your hands, bringing the burdened you encountered and encountering. Having immortality was not great for me. After our journey getting back to the east with my Shifu “master” Tang Sanzang and two other disciples Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, I learned many things. I understand everything except for love.

I tried killing myself and getting killed but neither of that affects me because of my power of immortality. Many years passed, the Goddess of Love and Peace, Guanyin visits me.

“Find the true meaning of love and you can live peacefully without your immortality”

I clearly put that in my mind and look for it every day. Many people came to me but none of them trusted me nor accepted me, I get used for being betrayed but no one understand me better than my masters before.

Many years passed, the revolution of generation changed and Wukong’s easily adopted it. One day as Wukong’s traveling and searching for the true love he’s looking for, Guanyin the Goddess of Love and Peace visits him again.

“Take care of your thoughts when you’re alone, and take care with your words when you’re with people. Find the true love and you’ll be free. You’ll be in human form and every full moon you’ll be in your true form. Accept someone who’ll accept you for who you are and what you are.” This was the last appearance of the Goddess of Love and Peace. Wukong’s transformed in Human and every full moon he returned in his true appearance.

He easily adopt the surroundings generation by generation. He eventually owns a convenience store in the city where he lives in Weifang, Shandong. He also have a part time job as a delivery man and also he is a secret sidekick of a policeman. He lives with an old lady named Nuwa. Nuwa adopted him after saving her life in a tragic car accident 6 years ago. Nuwa knows about Wukong’s life and she believe in his story, she adopted wukong as her son.

Meanwhile at the convenience store..

You think you’ll fool me, I can actually see what you’re doing without any cctv

I followed the man and kid outside the convenience store.

“hey, stop messing with that kid. You should pay for that drinks inside his backpack” I said. I took the kid from him

“s-sorry mister.. I didn’t—”

“it’s ok kid, I know you’re not trying to steal this things, I know you’re being manipulated by this jerk”

“Hey! Are you an idiot!? Ignorant asshole!” he took the kid behind me.

I guess I hit the bell now. Gonna have fun this night with this jerk.

“Are you speaking to yourself dude? You’re bullying a kid! I saw you putting all that staff inside his backpack”

He doesn’t look good, he look so pissed off knowing that I knew what he did.

“oh right? This kid uh--?” I can see slowly that he’s about to punch the kid but my powers suddenly went off. She’s fast…. So fast.

Phew. Glad I made it, she’s fine… and crazy. Why did she jumped in a dangerous scene like this? She made me accept this jerk’s punch.

“Stupid, pretty girls don’t barge in a scenario like this. Do you wanna get hurt? Stay here” I told her.

Damn, I’m bleeding after many years. Guess I’ll take some of this jerk’s punches.

He took out his mini knife and aims at me. I receive it and get wounded a little, just a little show off. I receive all his punches. I saw the girl leaves with the kid and that time I decided to give him my special attacks. I just played a little for 5 minutes before kicking his *** out.

Real quick, I need to get back.

I’m heading back in the convenience store but suddenly I lose control, it’s like I was hit with a knife directly in my heart and I can’t breath well.

I saw the girl before running towards me and we’re heading back to the convenience store. I feel my heart getting back to normal and I can comfortably breath. Who is she? I saw the kid with the band aid on his face.

“thanks for bringing me back here but can you please help me get the first aid kit inside that room? This kid doesn’t look good.” My medicine in my office can help the kid’s wound heal faster than any medicine. I look at her eyes to read what she’s thinking, she doesn’t feel good and looks like annoyed but I can’t read her. Who is she? I can’t get inside her mind, I can’t read her.

“oh—ah yes yes.” She replied.

She gave me the kit and I applied it gently to the kid. Her mother arrived, she thank us and took her kid home.

“well, Maybe its time for you to go home now miss. Its getting late” I told her. My wounds will be healed soon. I can’t let anyone find out about me. She stares at me like she’s mad or annoyed. I can’t read her thoughts.

Geez, what wrong with me?

“Stupid” she said.

What!? Calling me stupid really pissed me off

“what!? Are you calling me stupid!? Look if you weren’t on that scene nothing of this will happened, now who’s the stupi----!?” I felt her hands grabbed my wrist and let me sit then she gently cleaned my wounds and applied the medicine that I applied to the kid.

She’s been observing me…. Does she? Who in the earth is this girl that I can’t even read her mind

“now we’re good.” She said

“thank you.”

“thank you too. I need to go, keep safe” she said and smiled. I encountered many pretty girls but she’s like the goddess of them all.

“wait, yo-your name?” I asked.

“call me Lingling, and you?”

“I’m Wukong, everyone calls me Kongkong. Funny right? I know haha” I’ve got many nicknames from generation to generation.

We looked at each other, eye to eye.

Everything around me was moving slow. I didn’t used any of my powers. I can’t move…

I felt her lips on mine. I can see her thoughts and what’s running inside her mind. I kissed her back and every moves has a different sweet taste and a different story of hers. I grabbed her waist and pulled her close, I gently kissed her back. I feel safe and comfortable that moment.

She stepped back

“ah—I’m so sorry” she said and run out the convenience store.

I just smiled at her hoping she can read my mind. I expect that to happen because I just went inside her thoughts that moment. This girl is not that ordinary.

She knows my story but I can’t read her mind unless I’ll kiss her.

That night was so interesting but I let her go.
