Lennox's pov,
I departed from there at night. So I hadn't face any problems. I reached home at dawn. But I was too scared to click my home calling bell. So I stopped and hid behind our house. No sound came from anywhere and time passed. After almost three hours, I have got an idea. I decided to go to Martin's house. So I went to his house to meet him but got the news that he had gone abroad to finish his studies.
I asked Mrs.walker, " Sorry aunt. But would you please give me Martin's phone number? I recently lost my phone."
She told me, "Yeah, sure."
As she gave me his phone number, I told her, "Thank you very much and sorry for the disturbance. I've to go now. Have a good day."
Now I went to the nearest phone booth to call Martin. Luckily, I still have the money I took when I went to the forest. I was calling Martin with that money. The first two attempts he did not receive the call but the third time he called me back at that phone booth.
He said, "Hello, Who's speaking?"
I told him, "It's me, Lennox."
He perplexedly said, "Really. It's really you, Len."
I chuckled and told him, "Yeah, it's me."
He worriedly asked, "Are you alright? Are there any scars or anything on your body?"
I replied in an ensured voice, "I'm totally ok. No scars or stains."
He said in a tone of relief, "I am relieved that you are back safely. "
I told him, "Yeah. Long time no talk. How are you?"
He said with a crying voice, "I wasn't well before you called me today. I was very worried about you. I couldn't even sleep for a bit all these days."
I asked, "Why? Didn't I told you I was just roaming around?"
He replied, "The way you went deep into the forest, I knew you were very hurt by his behavior. And also this forest is the creepiest and most dangerous of all. Here the most terrifying creatures of the night appeared. Many more came here and peculiarly disappeared. So I got frightened and told Brix to find you. We searched for you a lot when we were there. After returning, we went there, over and over again, to bring you back. But we couldn't find you. We didn't give up at all. We kept looking for you. We have been searching for you for almost four months. Within those months, we finished searching every inch of that forest. Although we tried hard to search for you, we couldn't find you. So Brix and the others who were with us to find you thought you were disappeared like others. At that time, my parents sent me overseas to complete my study. So I couldn't do anything further. But I believed that you would come back one day and I was counting that day. Now I have been waiting for today for about seven months. Thanks for calling me. I want to see you so desperate. Now I can sleep peacefully "
I told him, "I missed you so much. But now I'm afraid to go home. So give me Brix's phone number."
He said to me, "Oh, Brix. He has got the photography job he wanted from his childhood. So he went to Germany. He no longer lives with his parents."
I told him, " I have no place to go. So I wanted to go to his place. But-"
He said with an indifferent voice, "Oh shit. Sorry, I forgot to tell you about it. I just remembered that your mother is so sick that she even can't move at all. She got sick thinking that you have left her like your father. She's so depressed. When we came back from the forest, she came to my home to look for you. As you told me not to tell her about you, I didn't tell her. But I think that's my biggest mistake. For this, now she is that ill. She desperately wants to meet you before she got sick. Sorry, I couldn't take care of her when you were not present. So I think you should go home for now."
I tensely said to him, "Okay, thanks for informing me."
I ran to my home to see my mom. I reached there and found the door's open. So I rush off to my mom and saw she was lying on the ground. For a moment my heart stopped beating and I felt so much dizzy that I could plop on the ground at any time. No matter what happened to me, I have to go there. I went near to my mother and touched her. Her body was cold and thin. She looked so pale and there's a deep dark circle under her eyes. She looks so different than before. I felt guilty that I made her like that. I ran to her bed to bring a blanket for her and wrapped her with it. I looked down and started wailing and said, "Mom, mom. I'm sorry that I leave you. But can't you kindly open your eyes for me now?  Can't you kindly talk to me now? Just once?Please. You're the only one  I have."
When I finished speaking, a warm hand caressed my hair and patted it to my head. I looked up and saw that it was my mother. I warmly hugged her. She asked with tears in her eyes, "Where have you been? Who took care of you? Why did you leave me like your father? Am I so bad that everyone left me?"
While sobbing, I hold her tightly and said, "No, mom. You're not bad. You're not... But I'm the worst. I am foolish, and so selfish, that I left you here to fulfill my dream. You can hit me, scold me. But now, you have to recover. I'll buy you medicine and other stuff. Tomorrow, we'd go to see you at the hospital. For now, I go and make you some porridge."
She told me, "You should make some for you too. You look paler than me."
I wiped my face and said, "Okay mom. You get up and come up to the bed. From now I'll never leave you behind."
