On Edge Of The Knife

Chapter #22: Gaining Pride

Sparing Ryan was the worst punishment he could ever give to him. He wanted him to suffer to death. He walked all the way to Jimmy. He knocked at his door as Jimmy greeted him.

"You look pretty bad!!! What happened"

"Will you please let me in" he answered him impatiently.

"Yes ofcourse!!! Come in consider it yours" he let him in his house.

He sat on his couch. He was tensed and thinking about Officer Jeff's offer. He was unable to figure out what he offered him.

"Have you got any smoke"

"Yes!! Here take it" Jimmy took out the pack from his pocket along with lighter.

Farhan lit the cigarette while deep in his thoughts. He took some puffs inside and stood up. He opened his fridge and grabbed a drink for himself.

They were having breakfast. Farhan would take a bite, puff the ciggrette and take a mouthful of wine. Jimmy was just observing him looking at his condition.

"Bro!! I warned you but you never listened. Look at yourself now" he was worried for him. He always considered him his friend.

Farhan was not in condition to answer him as it was of no use now.

"I am not here to recall those fucking advices you gave me. They are of no use to me now" he answered him unpleasantly.

"Then why you knocked at my door?" Jimmy asked him awkwardly.

"I need some stuff. I will pay you double including the previous stuff you provided me at college also" he requested him thirstingly.

"I never needed money from you. Here take it" he took out a packet from his pocket and placed it on the table.

Farhan poured some powder on the table and starting to arrange them in fine lines like a professional.

"Are you fed up of your life??" He asked him curiously.

"Why would you ask me that" he inquired as he was busy. He took a dollar bill from his pocket and rolled it. He leant forward to sniff the powder.

"People force their body and mind dependent on drugs when the colors of their lives fade away and they want to get away from their responsibilities"

Farhan stopped when he heard that deep advice from an addict like himself. He stared him while holding the dollar bill.

He was thinking that Jimmy was perfectly right. He was surprised to know Jimmy personality. He realized that people were unlucky that they never had a friend like Jimmy.

"I just wanna get away. I just wanna get away from everything" he sniffed all the powder lines in an instant like he was hungry and eating that powder.

"How's the college" he inquired in a dizzy voice. He looked relaxed from his body language and mesmerized eyes.

Jimmy realized that he just came here for his addiction not as a friend. He felt like he was just trying to pass his time he should not feel like he was just his need to fulfill his addiction.
