The Parasite

My high school friend was a professor.
All of his entire life dedicated for science, especially is natural life.
But, he have a different angle of view for his research.
And, science world can't accept his view.

One day, in rainy day. I visited him in his tree house.
We got a lot of conversation about his research.
some of his research is.

The Parasite.
He told me that he was doing conversation with plant.
with weird plant.
a parasite but it live on the ground, not attached on other plant.
he asked to the  plant.
"why you not attached to other plant?"
"you know?, I just have know that I'm a parasite who living on other plant" the plant answered.
"my parent plant, an acacia"
"he give me all I need"
"but I don't know that I have taken their nutrition"
"I just...just feel comfortable"
"and he just can't do anything to avoid me"
"everything changed until I have a felling, something wrong was happened"
"he looked so weak"
"his leaves not green anymore"
"so, I take a decision to leave him"
"I let him get some happiness for him self"
"so do I, I will take my way"
"even it must be worsted"
"I jump"
"and try to get nutrition on the uncertainty ground"
"this is my decision"
"this is my way"

"have you look some parent plant here was die?"
"because the plant like me out there, don't know that he is a parasite"
"towards the parent dying, plant like me, must be covered by sorrow"

"I don't force other plant act like me"
"coz, every thing have their way"
"it's a choice"

and, my friend told me.
go out from your comfortable zone.
and find your way.
