'Septum is the muscular wall between the heart......'. Oh gosh, it was boredom all over again. Every time when I had to listen to all the annoying facts of Biology, I will started to daydream. All my vision, hearing and senses organ will shut down on itself. I always complaint to myself, why? Why couldn't the time pass faster, I will sometime do some activities to avoid myself getting bored till death, such as looking people around me, what are they doing there, their facial expression during the class.
Suddenly, everything around me became slower, something was a miss with my vision, snow flake started raining down from nowhere, all the people around me was frozen. The snow flake gathered in front of me and became brighter and brighter, I could not even see anything at the end of the light source, and suddenly an old man appeared from the light source as I tried to approach. He was a very old man with bunch of white long non-treated hair and he was wearing a cloak and many different kind of clocks was hanging on the cloak. At the exact moment, I was freeze due to over traumatized. Before I could recover from the shock, he started to talk to me
'I am the Time Keeper, God of time, I heard all your complaint over the years, and now I will show you the importance of time, so that you won't be wasting it again.' Every single phrase of him came with an echo.
'Huh? God of Time?' I was both confused and shocked at the same time. He spoke again,
'Come my child, come with me, you will treat time differently after I show you the world with a different sight.'
The so call 'Time Keeper' just disappeared after his words, leaving a portal made of light for me, I moved towards the light, It was quite horrifying, but curiosity propelled me forwards and encouraged me to move in to the portal. I dropped into a hole and suddenly I was in a room with the time keeper and an old man was lying on a bed with his children were standing around him. He was giving his last words. The old man wished to have more time to spend with his family. And then the Time Keeper tried to convince me that a lot of people was begging for more time or time could pass slower but I'm the only one that wishes time could pass faster. I know what he was trying to prove to me, but for me there were only an elderly dying, and he was at his late seventies, the time was long enough for him to use in this world.
The Time Keeper did not gave up yet, he took me to a hospital, a medical team was trying to rescue a newborn baby that was having breathing difficulties, and I overheard the nurses saying that the baby deserved more time to spend in this world, explore more thing that he haven't yet discover. I did not feel any sympathy at all . Why I should compare my life with others? Maybe the baby will grown up into a murderer, thief or something else. I told the Time Keeper to stop wasting his time on me.
He did not give up, instead he took me to a foreign university, a familiar face appeared in front of me, it was my brother. He was chatting with his roommate, he said he misses all of us but he failed to spare any time to visit us because of the upcoming examination. I was touched there for a moment. From three perspective that all conclude that time was important. I was wrong....... The Time Keeper smiled at me and disappeared again. I was brought back to the classroom.
When I was back into the classroom, all the snow flakes disappeared and the teacher continue his teaching and it was about a words of wisdom of Albert Einstein, ' If A equal to success, then the formula should be A=X+Y+Z, X will be work, Y will be play, Z will be keep your mouth shut. The teacher explain it to us the phrase keep your mouth shut meant that we shouldn't waste most of our time talking nonsense and appreciate the time we have now. I felt shameful after hearing what he said. God is fair to us and given all of us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, we should use it for a more meaningful life instead of wasting it.
