In the middle of the night,a lone man who looked to be in his late twenties walked to a private cemetery looking emotionlessness until he reached one particular grave yard and sat in front of the yard placing the bottle of alcohol in his left hand beside him while caressing the photo carved on the tombstone that looked similar to him.

Without realizing it, a tear ran down his cheeks and another until his sobs could be heard in the silent night.

The moon stared at the young man and his heart felt cries,the chipping of the birds quieted down as his sobs became hard to ignore.

"Papa I miss you,why did this have to happen to me ,what was my fault, wasn't I a good son? wasn't I a good brother? wasn't I a good husband?so then why do I get thanked with this betrayal."The young man kept questioning himself, while looking at the photo hoping that some kind of magic would happen that he would be in his Papa's blossom while the latter caressed his hair and sang a melodious tune to calm his restless and sorrowful heart.

His cries and questions muted down as he grabbed the bottle of alcohol and gulped it ,at least hoping for the alcohol to make him forget his pain but still it didn't work.

"I know understand how you felt when you found out about the infidelity of cherrison(cherry )and mother,I have come to double respect you because you didn't let it weaken you compared to this your pathetic son of yours,I can't breathe because everything hurts like a bitch,I just want to close my eyes and forget everything just everything."

"But somehow you just can't."Another voice said that made the young man pause his rambling and turned to look at the stranger who was in a black suit with his black hair styled behind making his forehead apparent.His beauty and handsomeness didn't lack a bit with his pokerface.

"And how would you know that Mr."The stranger chuckled a bit at Lexis before placing the bouquet of flowers on the tombstone opposite that of Lexis' Papa 's tombstone.

"That is because just like you at a point in life,I lost someone dear to me that it made me feel that I Iost everything and the funny part is that as the years go by you think that you would be healed but trust me it doesn't get better, you just have to live with it."Lexis felt a bit better at the stranger's words but before he could talk more with stranger,he had already left.

He looked at the tombstone the other visited with the name 'Arthur Hamilton ' engraved on it.

Lexis couldn't help but feel a bit lost at the stranger's disappearance but the words of the other made him wipe his tears, filled with great resilience.

He looked at his Papa's photo once again then smiled at it before dusting himself and left.
