Chapter 4: The Journey Ahead
"I am back home",I say out of habit as I reach home.
"Food is in the kitchen",Mom tells me.
I straight away head to my room,without replying to mom and without caring about eating something,I had last eaten in the morning,my stomach aches but it does not matter anymore,without switching on the lights I keep down my bag,I had taken a half day from school,it was usual for me so my mom did not care about it.I sit on my bed,I still am not able to accept what happened earlier in the morning.May be I should have stopped him,maybe we would still be together,laughing,playing,chatting happily but it seems like my world is completely shattered,he was my best friend,I could not imagine a life without him,I am totally dependent upon him,he has been with me ever since I remember,he helped me learn cycling,he taught me to play football,every time I was unwell,he would take leave from school and come to my home,sitting by my side,he used to tell me different stories.He was a part of me and I could not bear being apart from him.
Suddenly,a thought crossed my mind,[What about his parents?],the school is not over yet,so they would be fine for now but someone has to tell them about what happened,I made up my mind to uphold the responsibility,I went to our house' landline-phone and called his residence.
His mom picked up the phone--
"Yeah,Sinovi Residence"
"Hello aunty,I am Zoe"
"Oh Zoe,how are you?"
Without fussing I straight away state the cruel fact,"Actually aunty,I wanted to tell you that....".
"What is it?,you do not seem well,everything alright?"
"Aunty I wanted to tell you that,I wanted to.......I wanted to tell you that",I gather courage and speak up,"I WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT RYAN IS NO MORE WITH US!!!!"
"Who?"
"Your son and my best friend,Ryan"
"You really want to joke around at this point of time.don't you?"
I was shocked by her reaction,she continued,"For your information I want to tell you that we just have one daughter and her name is Ishina".
I hung up the phone,I was in utter dismay.
[Did everyone forget about him?,How did it happen?,Why can I remember him?]
I went to my room again to sleep,I was tired,exhausted,I wanted to forget about this day,in fact,a part of me wanted to die but...,the journey of life has to continue,I have to move on,maybe someday I will be able to bring my best friend back.
