During their third-year in high school career assessment exam, Eya told Zick about her dream of becoming a doctor. In her dream, she saved Zoey who was gravely in danger due to an accident that would cost her of her life.
Eya and Zick's family were very close to each other. Both of their mothers were members of their village community and their church organizations. Since then, Eya considered Zoey as her younger sister that she didn't have.
Hearing that Eya wanted to become a doctor someday, Zick changed his career choice. He also became a doctor. His shallow reason that time was that Eya was his only best friend, he didn't want to be apart from her even when they grew up.
Zick was stilling rubbing his hand on Eya's head when he heard Dennis speak. "Hey, Zick!" He furrowed his brows and thought 'who the hell gave him the confidence to call him his bro?'
Zick felt irritated whenever Dennis was around or when he heard his name. It was like a forbidden spell for him.
Zick looked at him and acted as if he acknowledged his presence. He stopped rubbing Eya's head and then said to her "Have a break before returning to your station. I'll cover for you till then."

News about the burning restaurant spread within the town. News networks gathered on the site itself and the hospital where the victims were sent.
In an abandoned house, a man with a scar along his forehead down to his right cheek was crazily laughing as he watched the news about the burning establishment.
"That bastard of an owner meets his karma! Who does he think he is? Who is he for shouting, scolding and firing me? Does he know who I am?"
The authorities haven't found out the reason because of which the restaurant suddenly met an explosion. Little did they know that it wasn't actually an accident but a crime of arson?
This man was a crew of the said establishment. During that day, he was busily washing the dishes and collecting the orders from the counter, his workman suddenly feels ill while preparing the orders, so he stepped up and tried to cover his workman's jobs.
Due to the fact that there were only five workers in that rush time of the day, orders piled up and customers started complaining about the slow service of the restaurant. The owner who was idly sitting in his office while watching television happened to hear the complaints of the customers. He rushed towards the kitchen area and started scolding every employee he saw.
One unfortunate worker that he saw was the man with a scar on his face. "You fucking bastard what are you looking at? Go and continue working! I'm not paying you to fool or to be idle around here. Customers are all complaining about your service. What kind of fools have I employed?"
The man's ears throbbed as he didn't expect that his employer was this shameless.
He grabbed his collar and was about to punch him right on his nose but one for his mates stopped him.
Being saved by his worker the owner gained his confidence and picked a dirty spatula and started hitting the man on his face.
The patience of this man was as thin as a thread. When he could not control himself anymore, he began beating him on the ground. When the owner writhed from pain, he angrily shouted on the man who was beating him. "You fucker! You're fired, you son of a bitch!"
The man was lost his senses from being insulted, humiliated and fired. He took the knife from the counter then slashed the gas pipe of the burner. He crazily laughed as he left the kitchen area.
Workers that saw the incident immediately ran away from the site. They thought they should save their lives first and not to play as a hero to their bastard employer. All of them left the owner lying on the ground as they tried to save their lives first. The explosion occurred after a few minutes.
