NIRVANA SHACKLES
DESTINY BEGINS

“I am indeed careless, just blame this stupid me. I just didn't expect, we could meet again like this. Maybe it's destiny. I saved you, and now, you saved me too. Really a reciprocal relationship. Thanks,” says Wuxian.

“You don't have to thank me. You said before, it's a form of reciprocity. I owe you, and now I've paid for it. Perhaps, fate brought us back together just to help me pay off my debt. Among us, there is no such thing as indebtedness anymore,” reply.

“However, I still have to thank you. Oh yeah, I don't know your name yet. May I know what your name is? You don't have to answer if you don't want to,” asked Wuxian.

“Huang Chao, call me Huang Chao. Looks like, we're the same age. I am 15 years old,” replied Huang Chao.

Huang Chao had already begun to talk a lot and opened himself up to Wuxian, after the two had gone through life and death together. Wuxian was a little happier, when he realized that in this world, he was no longer alone.

There is no one who is alone in this world, other than those who sing themselves and shut themselves away from those who want to accept and warm their hearts with his help.

“We're 2 years apart. I'm 3 years more than you. I'm 13 this year. So, you are Gege,” Wuxian said. “Can I call you Huang Chao Gege?” tanyakanya.

“You can call me anything. From now on, I'll help you and protect you,”.

Yu Wuxian was a 12-year-old boy. He was just an ordinary child from a simple family, who grew up in a remote village in the middle of the forest, far away from the urban. His greatest hope is to get friends and affection from his two parents. Unfortunately, his parents are too hard on him, making Wuxian think that they are not his biological parents.

Yu Wuxian was eager to have many friends. Unfortunately, none of the children in his village were willing to make friends with him. Not knowing the reason why, they just hated it.

However, Wuxian never expected that he could meet a boy who would befriend him, even willing to protect him.

Huang Chao, a child who was accidentally reunited with Yu Wuxian. Not knowing who his true identity was, so the bandits hunted him down, Yu Wuxian did not want to know. However, Huang Chao's presence in Wuxian's life inadvertently brings tragedy to his family and the village where he lives. But it's all about destiny. No one is to blame.

“Yu Wuxian!” call Huang Chao.

“Ya!” answer Yu Wuxian.

“Did you catch it?” ask Huang Chao.

“I got one. Brother Chao, what about you? Did you catch him?” ask Wuxian.

Huang Chao shook his head, sighing. “Why is it so hard to catch fish in the river? They're so wild. If I had been, it would have been .. Ah, that's it. I'll try harder.” Huang Chao seemed to want to say something that brought up his life. However, he who realized it immediately shifted it to the main topic.

“No, you don't have to catch any more fish. I'll do it. Hmmm... just collect the dry ingredients to roast it,” said Wuxian.

“Already. Then you're the only one who caught him. I will collect dry twigs,” reply Huang Chao seryaa ascended to the mainland. While Wuxian continued his task, namely catching fish on the river bank.

“Wuxian, here!” huang Chao exclaimed as he waved his hand, signalling that he called Wuxian to come towards him.

Without waiting for a long time, Wuxian also walked over to Huang Chao while carrying his catch which he had cleaned his organs.

Huang Chao chose a shady spot under the wisteria tree not far from the river there. Huang Chao had gathered the wooden twigs. Only, he had not turned it on yet.

“Sister Chao, do you know how to light a fire?”

Huang Chao shook his head, then said, “I've never done any of these things before. I was useless,” he said who humbled himself who knew nothing.

“Kak Chao, don't be. No one can do anything if they have never done it. So can Kak Chao who can't, because he's not used to it. Take it easy, we can learn, because I can.” Wuxian's words were deliberately said to comfort Huang Chao.

“Good,” reply Huang Chao.

Yu Wuxian began to swipe two stones, to let out sparks. Then he threw it into a pile of dry twigs, until the fire was perfectly lit. Yu Wuxian planted a twig that pierced the river fish he had caught.

While waiting for the grill to mature, Yu Wuxian also invited Huang Chao to speak.

“Kak Chao, are you from a rich family?” ask Yu Wuxian.

“Hmm... why do you think of it that way?” reply Huang Chao.

“Only. And also, no bandit was chasing a child aimlessly. Definitely the destination is the family Sister,” guess Wuxian.

“You are smart. Right, their target is me. But I don't have any family anymore. They chased me because I had something dangerous for them,” Huang Chao said.

“That is targeting Kak Chao, I guess, definitely not those bandits. There must be another mastermind behind it .. but I don't want to ask. Brother Chao, has the wound on Brother's body improved?” tanyakanya.

“Now it's good, thanks to the medicine you prescribed me. Although very bitter, but its efficacy is not in doubt. Bitter is also not a problem, because my goal is to heal as soon as possible,” replied Huang Chao as he touched the wounds on his body that began to dry.

“Good then. Oh yeah, I'm curious about one thing. I wonder how rich life is? It must be very convenient, because anything can be bought easily. Brother Chao, can you tell me how you spent all your family money? I'm curious. But, if you don't want to tell him, I won't ask,” Wuxian said.

Huang Chao sighed. He felt that Yu Wuxian's words were too innocent. However, on the other hand he felt that if only Yu Wuxian's words were the reality, then it would be better.

"Eitherway. There is no easy life in this world. Having a lot of possessions does not guarantee that our lives will always be safe and comfortable. People who have nothing must think of having everything, but people who have everything once thought of living a simple and happy life" Huang Chao said.
