Xenos came back home. He rented this house. The rent wasn't much given the house's condition. But still it was hard for him with everything. After studying he went for sleep.
In the mourning he got a call in his phone."Hello, who is it?", he asked."Are you Ethan's friend?", asked the voice. He replied in the affirmative."Your friend is terribly injured. He had a car accident. I don't think he can survive. He wanted to see you in his last time and told me to call you. Please come to the city hospital quickly."
His world shattered. He was so very shocked. He rushed to the hospital instantly.
He arrived at the hospital and went straight to the room where Ethan was. He looked at his friend full of bandages from head to toe. Xenos's body was trembling. After calming himself down he went inside the room.
Ethan was awake."You fucking bustard, what the hell did got yourself into," Xenos said containing his emotions. He sat beside Ethan and became quite.
Ethan knew he was pretending like everything will be fine. Ethan tried to talk but Xenos said," Don't talk now, we will talk after you get better."
" You don't have to act. You already know that I don't have much time left. I wanted to see you for the last time," Ethan said with all his might.
Xenos was quite. He didn't wanted to belive what was happening. He wished it was a nightmare and wanted to wake up. But deep down he knew it was reality.
" You have to walk the remaining path without me buddy," Ethan said.
"Why, why, why... just fucking why do I have to suffer like this. I just wanted a happy and normal life. I didn't ever have any bad intention for anyone. I didn't do anything wrong. Rather I was always looked down upon, always bullied and tortured. I was thrown away after birth. But I didn't complain. I just have one fuckin best friend and now he is also leaving me alone forever. Just why the fuck is it always me," Xenos couldn't contain his emotions anymore. So he let everything out while crying.
Ethan knew he was suffering very much and he knew his life was coming to the end. "I'm sorry. I couldn't be by your side. I'm really really sorry," Ethan continued while crying, " But you have to stay strong... no, you have to grow strong. Don't end up like me. You have to live for yourself. Don't give up ever. Please live my buddy... please...". He stopped at he shut his eyes, or rather he was gone. Ethan was dead. Xenos's only best friend and only one he considered family was no more.
" Oi bustard, oi wake up. Waakeee uuppp," he started shouting like crazy. The nurse came in and said," I'm sorry sir. But he is no more."
"N-No, no, please no, not him too, please at least not him god, please I don't want anything ever again. Please just give him back," saying this he let out a huge cry, "Noooooooooooooooooooo."
But he knew nothing can be changed. Ethan was already gone.
He felt like his soul was torn apart. Even the people of the hospital was feeling his sorrow.
...
The next day the sun rose. He woke up. His eyes were cold, indifferent. In the previous day he just buried his best friend and he was the only one who was present at Ethans funeral. He made the grave himself. At least he wanted to send his friend in peace.
Besides he learned a shocking truth. Though his friend was died by car accident, the nurse said he was beaten very badly before the accident. So he lost control and couldn't got out from in front of the car.
Xenos could guess everything clearly about who beat Ethan up. It was definitely Arek.
But Xenos didn't got angry. Instead there was a cold smile in his face. He was not sad any more, because he knew his friend is at peace and don't have to suffer in this merciless world. But Xenos will not forgive anyone. Not anymore and not a single one. He was never the weak one. Instead he wanted to make a good relationship with everyone. But that cost him his friends life. What is gone can not be change. But he will change. Change beyond anyone's imagination. Never in his existence, he will tolerate anymore. He will become something unbounded.
