Bridge

8

Ni-ki left school earlier than
usual to go to the address that sunoo
gave him, since he hadn't seen sunoo for a week already at the bridge

He had been walking for an
hour now, and still doesn't know
where it is

"Fuck, am i lost?" He thought
to himself scratching his nape.
But then saw the same number lot at the house Infront of him
"Oh, here it is" he thought, and
slowly walked towards the house

The house was bigger than
what he expected
He sighed, taking the courage
and rang the door bell.

But no one answered..

So he tried once again, and
heard footsteps from the inside.
He quickly fixed his posture and
his polo and smiled at the lady
who opened the door for him

He guessed that it was
sunoo's mom judging by her
features, sunoo has the same
eyes as her and same face shape.
She looked a lot like sunoo

"Hi ma'am! Im ni-ki, sunoo told me to go here!" He exclaimed, but instead of welcoming him inside the lady stood frozen

She looked at him like
She had seen a ghost, but then
remembered what sunoo said to him

"Oh, and he told me to tell you that, he regret what he did and he misses you so much that he hopes that your doing well-"

He was cut off when the
lady started crying randomly
which made him more confused..

"Ma'am are you.. okay?"

"May i ask where and when did you see him?.." the lady Infront of him, struggled to talk

"Last week.. we usually meet at the bridge down town, we even Went to the carnival"

He was more shock when
the lady cried harder

"My son is long gone.. i-i don't know if your telling the truth but, sunoo committed suicide in that bridge a year ago.."

Ni-ki watched the lady Infront of him collapse on the floor.
This whole time..
He was friends with a ghost..
The person who he has been with through his ups and downs was a ghost..?

"That night.. he stopped me from commiting suicide" he uttered as a tear rolled down his eyes

Everything finally made sense to him..

"Dont be like me"

"You should think of your love ones before doing it.."

"Promise me that you won't try and commit suicide again.."

"Explore life.. and take a rest, but never give up"

sunoo didn't want ni-ki to do the same mistake as him

and regret it at the end..
