I took the last piece of patato with buds and buried it in the ditch.
The same thoughts engulfed my mind, yet again.

Will we be able to escape from here ? Will we have to live here forever ? What about Edith and Ron ? How are they living there ? It's been a decade. And...and Ajea ? What happened with her ? Is she even..even al---? How will we leave this place ? Even light cannot enter here with whole energy. No....no... don't think like this. Instead of overthinking like this, I should practice Anameikto.
I walked over to the edge , into the waters. I sat there with my legged crossed, only my body above chest was not submerged.
..........I will have to do so.......focus Abhi......focus..........Ron--no.... Don't think of anything.......
" 'cough' "
I could hardly sit for 5 minutes when someone's coughs broke my focus. I ran inside the cave.
" 'cough' "
" Kishna ! "
He was sitting up, taking support and putting all his weight on his hands. Coughing really badly which riped my heart apart. I
sat down and creased his back trying bring back his calm.
" Abhi...." His voice came out as a whisper.
" I'm right here, with you. " I comforted him when I myself need comfort.
" It's time now. I don't think I can live anymore. "
" No ! Dare to say that again and I myself will kill you. "
" I have been struggling so long. " He kept his head on my lap, then slowly I could feel all his weight on me, "Finnally the struggle will...ahahah...wil end."
" When did you started being so passimistic person. It...it used be me right. " I tried to keep my voice stable but failed.
We grew up together. We came in this strange world together. We ate together. We met new people together. We made friends together. Why can't we die together.
" You'll live. " He like always read me as though a open book, " You'll try to get out of here----"
" How can I !?" I blurted out with pain in my chest. Trying to calm myself I bawled, " I can't do it without you. I never did anything without... without you. "
" You wil have to.....for..for Ron and....his... his mother. Promise me one thing. " He brushed my hair with his one hand, like always, while other was holding on mine. "Once you get out of here, you'll find and take care of Ajea. I believe she is alive, living without a family. "
Living without a family because of me. No ! Edith did nothing.
" Will you ?" He took shallow and short breathes.
" You will be alright. We will get out of this hell, together. " I shook the negetive thoughts out of my mind.
" Promise me, Abhi ?" His eyes started fluttering now.
" I....I will. "
And he closed his eyes. Soon his breathes got un-noticable. His hands got heavy, slipping away from my hands.

Don't leave me. You always said we will be together forever, then how could you.
I held his hands with both hands and sobbed my heart out.
