ETERNAL

-23-

Its been three days. Fourth hadn't visit safe house after that. Dunk had to go to Italy for a business day before yesterday. Fourth knew by now Dunk might have already returned.
His fingers itched to dial his brother's number but he couldn't. How can he do that clearly knowing what day today is.
The death anniversary of Dunk's dad. Death anniversary of Fourth's favorite person, who he had considered as his own father who had loved him dearly , who protected him like any father would do.
Fourth was still on his pyjama , staring at slightly dark sky, pre indicating a heavy rain. Letting out a tired sigh he step down from the bed.
He stared at his locked locker near the nightstand , where he had hid lot of secrets. His second phone, few documents from his father's business, blue ray disk he got through Winny , and a pen drive which had lot of important documents related to his family.
Prom and he had been friends for a long time. They don't have a barrier called personally space, he knows if Prom find this locker that would be a blast. But recently he started to lock his door when he is not in their apartment. At first Prom constantly asked for an explanation where Fourth failed to give a fair answer. But when one day a small rat came out from Fourth's room , and automatically Prom had assume its the reason Fourth had been doing such a thing lately.
Ever since he was a kid Fourth hated small animals like them. It scared him to death.
Thats why Fourth wonder why Prom is such a dumbo to assume that Fourth us having a pet. Thats too a huge weird taste of pet animal. A rat.

He stood up and walked towards the big glass window .
He can see small rain drops already falling down. Trying convince its ok to let fall down the tears gathered in the corner of his own eyes.
His eyes averted towards the sky which is covered by dark grey clouds. He never thought a day like this would come. How did he grow this fast. 10 years , past bitter memories he had locked , and threw the key. But he had failed to noticed he had never locked it , deep down he always refused to let go of guilty of that one person's death ,in reality he never should be blamed. But still he had no courage to ring his brother and talk to him, did he even ever apologize to his brother. He is pretty sure he never said it loud. Because he knows his apologize can do nothing.

He heard a faint knock, which made Fourth turn. It was Prom. With a small sad smile. Fourth's lips curved up slightly understanding his best friend remembered what the day today is. Prom slowly walked towards him and wrapped his arms around Fourth's figure. Fourth gulped down the sob which was about to break out and accepted the comforting hug.

They stayed like that , who know how long.......

With Gemini

It was around 5p.m. Fod had gone about an hour ago. His eyes ran towards the glass window which is slightly slided , open. Unknowingly he stoodup , it got worse. The sky is growling , furious rain drops are falling continuesly without a slightest break. Small lightnings sparks time to time. The morning sky certainly did pre warned about this but who could've imagine it would be this bad.
Cold breeze hit on his face almost giving goosebumps.Gemini readjusted his sleeves which were rolled up till his elbow and mumbled to himself
" I should go now "

With that he he started to pack his staff. His eyes landed on his phone , and he slowly grabbed it. After the conversation with Phuwin he thought to talk with Fourth. He didn't know what exactly he wanted to talk about. About his uncle's suspect regarding him ? About his ill mannered behavior towards his uncle ? Or is it about the unknown man he was with that day ?

But whatever it is , he just wanted to talk with the younger. He missed everything about the younger. Morever he missed his own self when he was with the younger. The burdens , sadness , loneliness which disappeared when Fourth was around him,started to crawl towards him again.
