I don’t know why I'm always complaining about life yet life itself is useless.
You really longing die? asked one of my friend one day when I was holding a Long and hard rope. l keep quiet.
Please, don’t die for my sake he added, taking the rope from my hands. He let me sit down on the grass, and sat besides me.
I don’t know why You really longing to die my darling brother. he said. But for my sake, please, don’t die.
He huge me and hold me tight on his chest. I wish he would never let me go again.
