A young man who seemed like 25 years old was sitting on a sofa and was drinking beer. He was watching another young man who seemed like 22 years old.
The 2nd young man was binding a rope on a fan. He was very calm. His eyes were blood red and had a look like a savage predator.
The 1st young man stopped drinking and started to bite on his hand's nails. He was very nervous. His hands and legs was shaking. If any third person saw these scene, they would think that the 2nd young man was preparing to hang the 1st young man.
"I wish we will be successful this time. There is no other option. Only death can free a man from his immense pain. If there is any god, please listen to me. Bless us to be successful." The 1st young man knelled down and closed his eyes. He cupped his 2 hands and started to pray.
Booooom
A wile later the 1st young man heard a noise. He didn't opened his eyes but his face seemed like he was very disappointed.
"Huh. This time is also a failure." He sighed and stand up. sat down on the sofa and started to drink whiskey.
Previously he was drinking a beer but after being disappointed he started drink whisky.
The 2nd young man was lying on the floor. A rope was bound around his neck and a fan was beside him. There was a little bit of blood oozing out from his head. It seemed like he tried to suicide by hanging and the fan couldn't support his weight and broke upon his head.
"Fucking idiot. This was your 5th attempt. When are you going to die?" The 1st young man was shouting in frustration.
"Hey, how do you know this is my 5th time?" The 2nd young man was startled. He turned his head toward the 1st young man.
Although the 2nd person didn't care anymore whoever was in his room. But still he didn't expected an unknown person in his room and he (1st young man) saw him to attempt suicide. From the 1st person's expression the 2nd person could feel that the 1st person was very disappointed upon him.
"Are you talking to me?" The 1st person was surprised. He was so much surprised that his eyes was coming out from his eyes socket.
"Yes. Who are you? Why are you here? How do you even know that I attempted 5 times until now?" The 2nd person stood up. He was looking at the strange young man who seemed very unhappy about his failure at suicide attempt. He grabbed a knife from the apple basket and slowly started to walk toward the strange young man.
The 1st young man was seemed strange because he was wearing a long coat and over a white shirt. A navy blue tie was tied. His long coat's bottom was torn. He was wearing high boat and brown lather pent. There was a chain hanging from his waist. He was looked like a gangster, Yet his face was looked like a gentleman.
"Are you talking to me? He is talking to me." The 1st person lost his composure. He started to jump on sofa like a child. He became so much excited that he seemed like a child who got his long waited dreamed toy.
"Hey hey hey. First you answer my question. Who the fuck hell are you? What are you doing in my room? Are you a spy sending by Jin Dongmei?" The 2nd person posed the knife toward the 1st young man and yelled.
"Ha Ha Ha... I have been blessed. I have been waiting for a miracle for a long time. Now I get it. Now I get it. I love you god. Love you a lot." The 1st young man was sending flying kiss toward the sky.
"Hey hey, you madman. What are you doing? What do you....."
"Hello My dear friend Anirudh Sharma, I don't know what is my name. But I wish you can call me Wasim Sheikh. I have been watching you for a long time." Wasim Sheikh interrupted Anirudh Sharma. He introduced himself and pushed his hand for a handshake.
"You..... What.. what do you want?" Anirudh was getting nervous. He went a step backward.
"Hey, You don't have to be nervous or don't be afraid of me. I am not here to harm you." Wasim reassured Anirudh.
Wasim continued, "You are trying to suicide. What are you afraid of now? Come. Come my friend. Let's have drink." He retracted his hand and started to make a peg.
Anirudh calmed down quickly. Yes, he was trying to kill himself. What is there to be afraid of? Nothing. He was also an intelligent person. He felt that this strange person was not here to mean harm to him.
They sat together and started to drink whiskey.
"Why do you want to die? You have attempted 5 times. Previous times you tried to suicide for your girlfriend. I heard that you left that emotion behind and moved on. Then why are you attempting this time?" Wasim was confused a little bit.
He was watching Anirudh for a long time. It was seemed that Anirudh left the past behind and was doing very good in everything. Then why did suddenly he attempt to suicide? There must be a very serious reason.
"It's nothing. I am missing my girlfriend. I am going to her." Anirudh was gotten drunk. He only took two peg and he became drunk so quickly. Yet, He sipped another peg.
"You know, It's very lonely to live. Everyone is running after wealth, fame, success etc. Everyone became so selfish, greedy, savage. They don't care about any manner, family values." His eyes became teary. He became very emotional.
"You can share with me." Wasim put a hand on Anirudh's shoulder.
"You know, to get the leader position my own little brother is scheming against me."
"That's normal in a big family. But that's not enough to make a such decision to die." Wasim inquired further.
Anirudh drank another peg and started to narrate what had happened.

"Father, why are you looking for me? I was in a very important meeting. I was reviewing Dragon Slayer Army's performance report on the east mountain." Anirudh was a little bit irritated. What was more important than Dragon Slayer Army's welfare? They had been in a very important and dangerous battle. Although they won but it was very rough win. It cost them very much.
"That can wait for a while. Amitabh can take care of that. Sit down." Mr. Ashish Sharma pointed the opposite chair to sit down.
"But father....."
"Shut up young man. when your father called to discuss something, you should be obedient to listen. You father is not an incompetent person. I am the current leader. You are the leader in line. You have not become the leader yet. So be careful how to behave." Mr. Sharma interrupted and gave a fiery glance.
"Yes sir. I understand sir." Anirudh lowered his head and sat down obediently.
"This materials were sent to me today morning." Mr. Sharma pushed an opened enveloped toward Anirudh.
Anirudh became a little bit nervous. He understood that it was not a good thing. He opened the enveloped. He was stunned what he saw.
"How how... Who sent those?" Anirudh asked in a hoarse voice.
"Your fiance." Mr. Sharma looked at Anirudh intently.
"Why would she.... How could she have them!" Anirudh's voice was getting further hoarse.
"She and her sly fox old man demanded whole Northern City. I don't care what they have. I don't want to lose Northern City. That's the essence of our power. We lose Northern City, we lose everything. I don't care how you will deal with it. But remember no matter what we can't lose northern city. If need to kill you, I will kill you to keep northern city. I love you more than any one. But my family, my family's future in at stake. I can't chose you over anyone. So son go. Deal with it." Mr. Sharma stood up and entered his private chamber.
Anirudh was staring at the photos, memory card. They were the private photos with his girlfriend.
