Sherax reached the top of the mountain, breathing hard.
He looked at the moon as it slowly rose, its light cutting through the cold fog.
He tried to relax, but he could not stop thinking about Lina.
Where was she? Was she safe? What was Cassian doing to her?
Then Sherax felt something.
Footsteps… soft… coming closer through the fog.
He stood straight and looked ahead.
Because of the fog, he could only make out a shape. It looked like a woman.
As she moved closer, he saw green eyes shining through the fog.
Long black hair flowed down her back, and she was about 5'5" tall, wearing a headscarf and a simple green outfit.
Sherax's heart started beating fast.
Who is she? Why is she here?
Then he realized it wasn't a real woman.
It was his mother, appearing in his thoughts.
Sherax's eyes filled with tears as he took a slow breath.
She said, Sherax… my son!
Sherax couldn't hold back his tears when he heard those words; they streamed down his face.
His mother said, No, my son! You're my brave boy, why are you crying?
Sherax cried, Mom, I didn't take care of Lina. I lost her.
She said come here sherax.
Sherax got closer to his mother. She hugged him and said… you need to remember your feelings, your father's words, what he taught you, and everything he wanted you to know.
After saying these words, she disappeared, as if she had never been there.
Sherax blinked, and when he opened his eyes, they had turned red… like fire.
Zan's parents tried to call him, but they received no response, so they went to Karsaz City.
Zan's parents know about Sherax, Zan's best friend, so they called Sherax.
Sherax picked up the phone from his pocket and saw Zan's parents' numbers; he froze.
After some thought, he answered the call and only listened to what their parents were saying..
They said, Sherax, I'm Ron Zan's father. Do you know about him? He's not answering our calls, and we're worried about him and his mother.
Sherax heard this, his eyes tears falling and said your son is no more, he said. A man named Cassian killed him yesterday,Because of me.
I'm sorry about that. I'm sorry for all this. I'm sorry for your son.
Ron was shocked when he heard this and dropped his phone. His wife saw this and said, "Ron, what happened?
Hey, Ron, answer me, please tell me. Hey, Ron!"
Ron was still not moving, tears falling from his eyes, screaming on his face.
Ron suddenly fell to the ground.
His wife panicked and quickly called the ambulance for emergency help.
Meanwhile, the sound of the ambulance started coming from far away
wee-woo… wee-woo…
People around the area heard the siren and gathered outside to see what was happening.
The ambulance stopped right in front of their house.
The medical team rushed inside and immediately tried to save Ron.
They gave him an electric shock, CPR, everything they could…
But they couldn't save him.
They said I'm sorry mam!
She was froze at that moment.
Everyone in the crowd was saying, Ma'am, please take a sip of water. They were trying to help him, but he didn't respond; he was like a dead body.
Sherax was walking home when he saw a crowd in front of his house.
He ran fast and reached home,
Sherax noticed that a crowd had
gathered outside and everyone's eyes were fixed only on him.
Slowly, he looked down… and saw Ron's body lying on the ground.
The sight froze Sherax completely he forgot how to breathe for a moment.
He rushed toward Ron and fell to his knees, shaking his shoulders.
Ron… please get up! Please!
But Ron did not move at all… he was completely still.
Ron's wife shouted, Hey, don't touch him! Stay away! She was in an angry mood and came closer to Sherax, slapping him hard across the face.
Sherax can feel her pain. He knows everything, but he said, "I'm so sorry, I didn't even know this happened.
Sherax picked up Ron's body carefully and carried it to the cemetery.
He placed Ron in the grave right next to Zan's.
Then he turned to Mrs. Ron and said softly,
Please… take a look at your husband one last time.
She was crying at that point and said, "I lost everything, everything I needed to live. But I lost it. I lost it because of you, Sherax. You, you, and you.
Sherax feels so guilty, and shameless but she said I'm sorry Mrs.Ron
Please take a look for one last time of your husband.
She got closer to her husband's and son's grave. When she saw the grave, she couldn't control her tears and cried loudly.
Sherax still held her feelings, but inside, he was broken.
she suddenly grabbed Sherax by the collar, holding him tightly.
Her body shook as tears ran down her face.
Over and over, she whispered,
See… see this… see what happened… see!
And she slept again and again. Sherax didn't react to her because he knew she was broken.
Meanwhile she huged him tightly, and said please don't let him go who killed my son and husband.
Sherax said with a broken voice, "Trust me, Mrs. Ron, I will kill him with a painful death."
