Chapter 3:
To good to be true
Sosku was shocked and thought, How the hell did he even know my mother's phone number? That's impossible. I think I don't know what he's doing, and then the old man said, "She's going to love it that you're here and you know parties are better." What do you have? Your guy here? He smiled, his nose snorted, and Sosku looked disgusted, saying, "Um, sir, are you okay?" And the old man said, "You forgot my name. "Oh yeah, I didn't tell you my name. I guess I was hallucinating right now," and Sosku slapped his head and said, "Of course you forgot your name, coming from an old drunken geezer."
The old man said, "Huh? What was that? You think you're the toughest man in the room?" His voice was deadly, sharp as a blade cutting through the air, while Sosku's eyes were filled with a powerful fear that could send a child flying away in an instant. Sosku thought, "Send a child flying away?" Are you not exaggerating that?"
The old man just said, "Come on, let's go now. We got to see her, and Sosku said, "Oh my goodness, how many times do I have to realize that this man can easily switch up his mood? I guess he's unpredictable," and Sosku just looks down at the grass. It was just grass; he could see his reflection, his pimples shining through his skin and his glasses, and he said, "Are you sure she will like me because I'm unattractive?" And the old man said, "Who gives a damn if you're unattractive? She does not give a damn, I'm telling you." He walks, and the old man says, "Look at that beautiful tree. Isn't it beautiful? "Right, there is nothing right there," Sosku said. “Are you hallucinating or something?” I mean, there's nothing."
The old man said, "Yeah, there's something. It's pretty beautiful, isn't it?" And then his vision changed; it showed nothing. The cranky old narrator said, "I am not surprised at this point. This character is what I designed the old man's personality to be. I mean, it's too late to redesign it because the old man is too funny to ignore, probably not too funny but messed up."Sosku said, "How is he messed up? He's more like crazy in my way. I would not hang out with someone like that, and you force me into this plot. I am not dealing with this thing again: a marriage proposal. What do you think I am, a puppet?"The narrator said, "There is no such thing as freedom until you get this plot done, and you'll get your freedom you deserve." Sosku just stood there baffled by what he just heard, and he said, "What do you mean there's no such thing as freedom? I could have it right now, but it's impossible. I am not going to deal with this crap again." His voice was exhausted.
The old narrator said, "Time is ticking and we're wasting plot; if you let me talk about it for 5,000 chapters, you would have been happier. " Sosku said, "What do you mean I would have been happier?" "The thing is after that I have to spend another 500 chapters just to finish a date, and that's not what I want; I just want to finish this."
The old narrator said, "Chop chop, now it's time ticking." Afterwards, a loud clap came from his hands, and time began to flow again as the old man said, "Isn't it beautiful?" and Sosku said, "What isn't beautiful?" The old man just looked at him and just patted thin air that was completely left with nothing; all he could see was just thin air that he was packing on. It was in the middle of nothing. Sosku just stood there completely baffled by what he was seeing. He thought to himself, This is the only time I can think the old man is trying to do something new, or is that what I was thinking?
The old man just laughed, and he said, "Come on, let's see the girl; she's going to be your wife forever." And Sosku said, "Here we go with the wife thing. I did not expect that, though. I can say this is he, okay?" He just stood there. The old man said, "Am I okay?" "Of course I am. I'm the most okay-est man you can see in the world. Sosku heard that and stood quietly still; that word was completely alien to him because of all the things he just did, from making him carry 50 bags to literally imagining a tree that is not there, and Sosku just thought to himself, I could completely say that he is not the okayest man; he is the weirdest man I have ever seen.
The old man said, "Let's go see the beautiful girl that is my granddaughter, and she's going to be the happiest girl when she finds you." He starts laughing out loud, and Sosku just thought maybe his granddaughter could be like him, to have his personality. Could it have anything to do with him or any related things that he does, like habits like what I'm seeing right now?The old man said, "Well, well, we're almost there." The neighborhood has shown it is pretty big. There are a lot of houses that were made of iron but with mansion materials that were made with glass, yet we're about 75 ft tall. Each house had lights that were scattered around the windows, but one house stood out from the rest. It was brownish, yet it had a silver knob that was tattered with a lot of decoration. The badges were from boxing and whose house could that be, Sosku thought to himself.
sosku was walking nearby the old man. They had walked beside cars that went whoosh beside them but then they made it onto the front porch. The old man said, "You have to come with me," and sosku felt nervous for the first time and then the old man knocked. A feminine voice said, "Who is it?"
