Are You Alive?

Andrey was my friend. No, My brother. But...How could I be so selfish? I grew up with him. He was more than a friend to me. He was my whole world and I'm sure it was the same case for him too. We were not in a luxurious life or somewhat. In fact, We were so poor that even getting breakfast or snacks was a big thing. I don't know what got into me...An ego that I couldn't handle. "No...No...I...can't...I...cannot...kill...it's...not...me", Henry whispers. He was sweating. His whole body got jammed and soon he fainted. -The book cover is not mine.

15 years later,

Just after her mom saves him, His mom dies. He is living a luxurious life, but he is not happy. He has no one to be by his side. He could never forget what happened that night. But he had to move on somehow and he did. After so many years, He was living in the dark but he did not regret it much. He forgot the incident as if Andrey was fated to die. People used to come to his mansion to console him about what happened.

"I feel so sorry that your friend died." the people would say. He is the director of his mother's jewelry company now. Ever since her mom died, He is taking care of the company quite well. He has no other plans for his future. All he wants is peace and harmony.

Today is the death anniversary of his friend, Andrey and he almost forgot about that. He was in his PJs. Chilling. Suddenly the phone rings. It's Secretary Park. "Yes, Secretary Park?", He asked. "Sir, Today is the death anniversary of your friend, Andrey.", He replies. "Oh! That idiot- I mean, Andrey's death anniversary?" -"Yeah. Where would you like to go, sir? Shall I buy tickets for Hawaii?", He asked in an obvious manner. "Great idea! Book six tickets to Hawaii!", He replies excitedly. Secretary Park replies with a "hm" and Henry hangs up.

"I mean, How could someone be like that? Going on trips on his best friend's death anniversary. What a cruel boss I have.", Secretary Park says to himself.

"Hey, Ashley! Remember what day it is? Andrey's death anniversary! Let's go to Hawaii!", Henry said enthusiastically. "Aah...Okay. I will also call others.", She replies. "Okay!", Henry says and hangs up.

Today he has a lot on his mind. He has to enjoy the day today. Henry packs his suitcases and luggage Ready for the amazing day ahead.

'That raggy voice said it will end me. Ha! As if! See I'm waiting but nothing happened!' he thinks. Just then, his phone rings. It's from Ashley. "Hey, Ash." --"Are you coming to the airport or we all just leave?", Ashley teased. "Of course not. After all, What are you dummies without me, huh?", Henry laughs.

Meanwhile At The Airport,

"What happened? Is the lottery coming?", Zheng asked. "Don't worry, bro. Though, I hate that brat's attitude. Are we dummies? He is a fool instead! Only if he wasn't overloaded with cash-", "Who is overloaded with cash?", Henry arrives. Giving a jumpscare to his "friends". "Oh man! Ash meant that you are overloaded with kindness, bro!", Loraine says. Everyone nods in agreement. "Oh? Well then it's true.Now come on or we will miss the flight.", Henry winks.
