SOML – Chapter 6: Ben’s life

Chapter 6 – Ben’s life … From the school, Ben hurriedly went to where he worked, Auntie Bebang’s Store. He was a cargador there. He carried the baskets of fishes and vegetables from another location, the shipping section. There were open carriages transporting the products to the markets. Many caravans from the outside brought new business to the county. Carts and close carriages were their main transportation. The county arranged them separate from the local market to make sure the traffic. The location was the business central because of the number of merchants and businesses. There were also a lot of horses, and their crap smelled terrible. The plain wide enough for them to play. There was also a large pool they could drink and swim. The smell, noises, and dirt scattered all over the place. It resembled a swamp. Such a life. He didn’t mind these things anymore. Sometimes, he became the storekeeper if Auntie Bebang wasn’t there.

This was contrary to the stories and rumors between their parents and the neighbors. They said he was hundred years old. Yet, the only thing looked old about him was his hair, resembling a white waterfall flowing above his shoulders. He had a single hair lock in front of his face, swinging with little distance. His eyes were deep, like the abyss. It wasn’t piercing or threatening, but anyone who looked straight at his eyes became quiet. He wore a white long coat with grey-color layering in his sleeves. He was tidy and neat. His right hand clung to a book like iron grips, as if it was the most precious thing in his world. He measured his steps, precise and light, as if walking on a very narrow road or balancing on a tightrope. There was no overpowering aura that they imagined nor phenomenon that stories told abo
