Story 2-Duba

once upon a time, there was a hamster. he was called duba. duba was happy. he had many friends that loved him and of course a caring family. his life was actually perfect. actually.
duba wasn't always good. he didn't know why either. sometimes he just was sad. he thought a lot about life and the hamsters around him. the least thing he wanted is to have a negative impact on anyone around him and he wanted everyone to like him.
what did duba do?
he pleased every single hamster as good as he could.
what effect did this have?
well, he actually wasn't as happy as i said before. he was happy when the others were happy. duba stepped back
he put others wants before his needs.
as kept together as he looked, he wasn't. his thoughts were a constant mess and he couldn't do anything about it.
he was born to overthink
one day duba met another hamster. his name was shika.
shika and duba were kinda alike. both were kinda messed up.
sometimes duba wasn't feeling really good so everytime he told shika about it. shika kept motivating him to keep going. shika was the first hamster that really REALLY cared about duba (not blood related). shika was always there for duba so duba made a promise; "i promise you, shika, that i won't EVER leave ur side."
from this day on they told each other everything and duba felt important and needed for once.

this could be a good end, couldn't it?

one day shika and duba had a big argument. they were screaming @ each other and they were calling names.
after a while shika had enough "you made me a promise! you said you'd always be there for me and you wouldn't leave me!" "i won't! just please don't go! without u i'll be lost!"

silence.

shika turned around and left. he just left. duba was standing alone on the field. "what.... have i done?" as duba said that tears were falling on the dry ground. Duba was crying and crying until-
he cried and after a while he couldn't breathe anymore. duba fell down on his knees. his sadness turned into fear. with every breath he took his lungs were burning more and more and suddenly duba passed out.

as he was laying on the ground and his heart was beating slower.
after two days duba woke up. he was in pain. not physically.... mentally. he felt like someone ripped out his heart. after a while the pain turned into sadness and emptyness.
"shika... this-"
duba slowly stood up but he fell back on the ground
"... this is all my fault. i- .... he left."
duba stood up again and went to his hole. as he looked around sth was missing. he scanned the whole room and then he saw a family picture.
his family.
"..dad?... mom?" duba started to go from room to room. his family built these tunnels 4 years ago so some of them broke down some months ago. "mom?... dad, where are you?"
duba went into their bedroom.
his momma was laying on the floor, bleeding.
"MOM!" as soon as he saw his mother's wounds duba ran to her. "MOM PLEASE STAY WITH ME!" his eyes were filling with tears. "Momma, please... don't leave me" Duba was holding her head in his arms. he was crying and asking her to wake up
"Please mom, don't leave me now. Please, I need you! mom..." duba was crying harder than he ever did.
"Mom-"
"Duba..."
"Wha-... who did this to you? I swear i will kill him."
"Duba, it was... it was ur dad..."
"But-"
"When u were gone... he lost a bet... he was so angry that he wanted to hurt u and.... i protected u. I protected my son..."
She was slughtly laughing as she was looking duba in the eyes.
"You can survive without me, Duba... i'm proud of u..."
Duba's mom closed her eyes.
"Mo- ...mom? Mom please don't leave me..."
Duba was crying even louder than before. He hugged his mom as tight as he could
"Momma, i love u"

Duba lost everything; his family and his best friend.
"What am I supposed to do now...?"

Duba went back to the field and layed down. It was getting dark and duba looked at the stars.
"Mom... how am i supposed to live without you...?"
Duba was feeling how tired he was so he turned around and fell asleep really fast. In the morning loud voices woke him up. He followed the noises and after a few meters he saw his dad screaming at shika. It started to rain.
Duba heard his dad saying that shika owes him money.
"MY DAD HAD A BET WITH YOU NOT ME"
"I KILLED HIM ALREADY AND I TOLD HIM THAT I'M GOING TO KILL HIS WHOLE FAMILY IF I DON'T GET MY MONEY"
"YOU FREAKIN LOST THE BET"
"BECAUSE YOUR DAD TRICKED ME!!"
Duba had enough, without thinking about any consequences he ran to his dad and jumped onto him. Both fell on the ground.
"DUBA, WHAT THE HELL-  I'M YOUR DAD!"
"YOU KILLED MOM!"
Tears were coming out of duba's eyes and it got really quiet.
"Duba-"
"SHE DESERVED TO DIE"
"...shut up"
"EXCUSE ME?!"
"SHUT UP"
Duba took a lil rock that was laying next to them and he hit his dad's head thrice.
When he was sure that his dad was really dead he stood up and cried.
"Duba, listen to me"
Duba turned around
"You saved my life, Duba... after everything...."
"I made promises and i mever forget them."
"I should've never left you... I'm so sorry..."
"Shika, it was all my fault. i screamed at you and i was a terrible friend. you were always there for me and i betrayed u and-"
Shika hugged Duba and started to tear up. As the rain was bursting down on earth Shika took Duba's head and looked him in the eyes
"We are no longer best friends"
"Shika-"
"You are my brother, Duba. I promise you that i won't leave you and that i will always stay by your side"
"Shika i don't deserve that i-"
Shika hugged him again
they sat down and didn't said anything. they didn't have to.
they appreciated each other

-The End-
