In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 628

I looked up at the elderly, who had a pair of bright eyes and a gentle smile.

I grinned slightly in response. “It’s okay. The more pain I feel, the more burden I could lift from the deceased.”

According to Buddhism, for every kneel a mortal being makes with the deceased in mind, the greater the sense of relief.

Like what the elderly warned, the long journey had caused my knees to feel weak.

As I kneeled in front of the deities, I looked up and clasped my hands together to pray. “I pray to god for the living to live in health and for the deceased to rest in peace.”

With the sounds of the chants, I kneeled in the temple while staring at the statue of the deity. The deity had a kind face, with a pair of long and slightly upward-tilted eyes that seemed to see through all the joys and miseries of life.

Let it go!

Life is short and everything will pass. We can only gain a sense of relief by letting go.

There is nothing in this world that can’t be resolved. All the pain and miseries are just a part of life.

Legend said that the road to reincarnation was similar to the rotation of a rosary, going through each misery with the heart of tenacity and warmth, following the path of light, and leaving behind a beautiful future.

That June in A City.

It was evening when a middle-aged man from Animus Corporation brought a bunch of documents to me. “These are the documents for the Marketing Department’s use tomorrow. You might need to work overtime today.”

I nodded, paused my work, and glanced at him. “Oh, then I’m not going to the gathering tonight.”

“It’s a company gathering for all colleagues. It’s not a good idea for you to drop out of it,” he nagged.

Slightly annoyed, I let out a sigh. “I’m currently swamped by work.”

“Those documents are needed by tomorrow afternoon. You can arrange them tomorrow morning. Scarlett, you have to socialize more with people,” he elaborated impatiently.

I chuckled. “Savini, I am not anti-social, nor am I trying to avoid the gathering. It’s just that I don’t like it.”

He sighed and continued nagging, “You’ve been here for almost a month. Have you chatted with any of your colleagues yet? If you really want a fresh start, you should get out and mingle!”

I paused whatever I was doing and looked at him. “What is a fresh start?”

“To meet and interact with new people. To make new friends and experience new things.”

“Alright,” I responded and nodded.
