Humzah's story
a night of miseries had occurred on the people of Ortania, 3 people died and 14 were left injured back at Basit's house Ashhad was going through the virtual shop this was the first time he had ever opened the virtual shop, Ashhad was amazed at the many things that were available in the shop Humzah was sitting right next to him as he said
Humzah : I did not knew you could buy so many things.
Ashhad : for a game I say they made a real good effort.
Humzah : all of these things cost emeralds meaning that money should be one of our top priorities.
Ashhad : yeah sure as soon as we wake up tomorrow we'll head over to the caves, if what Basit said is true then we can buy that house before the deadline and even if we fail we will enough money to buy ourselves a new house.
Humzah : don't dream that far yet we don't even have a single emerald right now.
Ashhad : I plan Humzah not dream because as the saying goes " if you fail to plan you plan to fail ".
Humzah : Ok Shakespeare that's enough life advice for one day let's go to sleep.
The two went to sleep Basit was in his room he was resting on his bed when Hussnain came walking into his room seeing him Basit asked
Basit : back already?
Hussnain : yeah I dropped off Alyne and also checked on Aaron, poor guy's devastated by the death of his sister.
Basit : one by one we are losing all of our friends I fear that one day we might lose each other.
Hussnain : those who we lose here will be united with us there, I'm sure Julie must be enjoying her life in heaven with all her loved ones.
Basit : Aaron and Julie were orphans.
Hussnain : you make it sound like as if they were downloaded and not given birth to by someone.
just then Basit remembered the letter the king had sent him, he said
Basit : I forgot to read the letter.
Hussnain : who sent it?
Basit : King Arthur.
Hussnain : read it quickly.
Basit took out the letter from his bedside table and went and sat next to Hussnain as he opened the letter it read
Dear townsfolk,
In the upcoming days I will be visiting your town for a name approval I wish to meet you, I have big news for you till then take care.
King Arthur
Basit was confused after reading the letter he didn't understand why the king wanted to meet him as Hussnain asked in confusion
Hussnain : I wonder what message he has to tell that can't be mentioned in the letter.
Basit : whatever it is it must be important.
Hussnain : anyways I'll be leaving now, I'm free tomorrow if you need me.
Basit : I will be needing you tomorrow.
Hussnain : why?
Basit : I promised to take Ashhad and Humzah to the caves tomorrow, I'll be busy and I want Humzah and Ashhad to become self reliant as quickly as possible.
Hussnain : sure but I will take only one of them with me.
Basit : as you wish.
after saying this Hussnain left, Basit went to sleep as well, the next day, Basit woke up and came out of his room he went to the kitchen where surprisingly Humzah was cooking breakfast seeing him Basit asked
Basit : Humzah, what are you doing here?
Humzah : what you do everyday for us.
Basit walked up to him and the smell that was coming from Humzah's breakfast made Basit's mouth water as he asked
Basit : how did you learn to cook like that?
Humzah : my mom taught me everything cooking, cleaning, driving, bargaining heck she even taught me how to fight with a sword, after all she was a war veteran who had an estimated kill count of about 3000 and her colleagues gave her the nickname blood Goddess, my mom was the best.
Humzah was looking happy but as he finished his sentence a sadness appeared on his face as he said
Humzah : sadly even she was mortal, I remember it to this day I was out fishing when they dropped a nuclear bomb on my town killing millions, I may have just been the only survivor of that attack.
Humzah despite still being upset changed the topic
Humzah : by the way where is that sleepyhead?
Basit : Ashhad, he's still sleeping.
Humzah : well go wake him up otherwise he's gonna miss this delicious breakfast.
Basit : sure.
Basit went to Ashhad's room and woke him up.
