AGONY
It is said that bonds
are ever lasting, especially the ones that are wired through the heart. Bonds do
not necessarily need to be related through blood. There are special bonds that
are attached through the heart for instance friendship.
It all started when
I used to live with my younger brother
at cliff house . On a fine Saturday evening, I received a call from my best
childhood friend, James Bavard . He told me that he was going to visit us the
next day, early in the morning.
I could not sleep the whole night. I tossed and turned, all night
pretending to be asleep. Something was keeping me awake , it was all excitement . The moon laid a ghoulish
glow through the window, reminding me of my childhood horror stories. I used to
share with James. I did not realize that
I had gone into a sound sleep soon, with
all the memories of James.
Next morning , I
waited patiently for James , as the city
had subdued to silence. The wait was getting too long. I would take short walks
from the sofa to the door, thinking about
how I was going to spend my
time with him. Would he still be the
same James ? Would I hug him or give him a handshake , when he arrives ? With
so many rhetorical questions flooding
into my mind , I was getting more impatient
as time went by.
I was advised by my younger brother to have some patience and
have tea, but no ! I told him that I would take tea with James, when he arrives.
Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door that made my stomach church with, excitement.
I knew it was James.
I ran quickly to
the door and fumbled with the door knob, as it begrudging creaked open. A wind
– powered breeze passed me, giving me a cooling effect. As I was ready to
welcome James , I suddenly saw a man
with a black hood and a knife
on his left hand , stabbed
James on the back. James was
dead. I was shattered like gas, my best friend had been killed. I gave a groan in pain of agony.
Till now , I
have not gotten the reason as to
why James was killed , whoever killed him was
very cruel and inhumane . This death of James only gave me agony.
