The series of events that followed happened in a haze.
New stares at the picture with two black ribbons across the top corner of the frame, placed in the middle of the flower alter of the mourning room with no expressions on his face.
His mother-in-law and sister-in-law sit together as his best friends james, Nat sit with him.
Mew and gulf,Prapai and sky were there to.People come; they pay their respect and go away, but neither Zee nor New leaves the place for the whole two days.
They pull his coffin into a Mitsubishi to drive it to the burial ground on the final day.
It rains hard, cooling the hot grounds as everyone carried an umbrella with them.
But Zee didn't bother to use one.
He stands beside the six feet deep trench where his friend will be buried, watching as the coffin lowers, breathing hard to control his emotions.
New was clinging on to Nat because his legs were too weak as James stood beside him holding an umbrella.
He was too weak to witness all this.One by one, everyone leaves the place and the only ones left were, Zee, and their group of friends.
Max, Nat's husband holds his shoulder, silently telling him that they should leave.
He turns his head back to New and his heart clenches.
New looked still the same, emotionless but he knows how much of battle he is having inside.
"New, we should go."
"You go Nat, I want to stay here."
His voice was hoarse for not speaking for almost three days.
"Then we are also staying with you,"James speaks as he stubbornly stands beside him, tightening his grip onto him.
"So am I" Nat follows.
New looks at his friends.
If not for them he doesn't know what would have happened to him.
They had always been the supporting pillar in his life.
New was glad he met them, all thanks to Dew.
But he can't let be Nat with him.
He hasn't eaten anything since morning and he is pregnant.
This rainy climate is not good for his health.
And also, James left behind his newborn baby at his parent's place.
Those kids haven't met their parents for the last three days and he has no heart to separate them anymore.
He slowly turns his head and whispers.
"Let's go."
Mew looks at Zee who is still in the same place, right beside the now filled trench, his legs rooted to the spot.
He slowly walks towards him and holds his shoulder and that's when Zee loses it.
They say guys shouldn't cry at a funeral.
But he couldn't hold it in anymore.
He lets his tears fall, letting them mix with rainwater, making them salty.
Mew makes his brother-in-law turn around as he hugs the poor guy, lending him his shoulder to cry.
Prapai comes as well, as he hugs the two, trying his best not to break down as well.
The rest follow, holding their tears.
They know how close Zee is to Dew, they meet him when they were in high school but Zee has been with him since he was born.
The pain that you feel when you lose your most important person is unbearable.
