For the Dinner I made her favourite fried veges and chicken soup . After dinner we walk for a while outside. Soft music is playing in lounge as I sits on on rolling chair beside window. In my hands is a piece of ancient classic novel. Lena went to grab her favourite snacks. She come back with chocolate balls and chips. She sits in my lap and rest her head on my shoulder, I kept reading. Unusually she is in good mode.
[ If I knew a single bit of what inside of your mind was playing in those days. I might be able to stop the last mission. But too late I found it.... Too much late....]
"Pretending to read again" len a says and forcefully place a chocolate ball in my mouth.
[Ah... This bitter yet sweet taste... I like it.]
I smile at her.
"which I am going to postpone now" Dylan Place the novel on coffee table and hold her. Lena smiles brightly, that day we talked a lot about random things. Perhaps she was trying to feel at ease by talking.
Lena fell asleep at almost mid night while listening to music. I didn't knew it until her head drops to side. Thankfully I was quick enough to hold her. Dylan carefully lift her in his arms and walk to bed room. The house itself turn off the music and lights except the dim light of lounge as Dylan leaves. Dylan Place her sleeping body on bed and lay down besides her.
In the room, blue moonlight is coming from the window falling on her beautiful sleeping face. Dylan watch her sleeping soundly. As the clock strike twelve the automatic curtains spread across the window and there was completely darkness in room. After putting blanket on her. Dylan
hug her close to him and close his eyes.

FUNERAL OF HAL
In our world, those who die by commuting suicidal death are lucky as we can give them a proper Funeral and burial. By afternoon all the military events for HAL' funeral were completed. Fellow Handlers, his family and the higher-ups of government come one by one in black cars wearing official dresses and stands there with a white rose in their hands. I stands there besides Lena and Aritie [ wife of Hal ] wearing military uniform. Accepting condolences by people's. As Hal is one of famous Handler as he leads the Reaper Unit at frontier. Media people were also present. When all of them arrive at burial site of Clear Water, a black military car enters the region of Clear Water, in which Hal was laying in a death box covered with National Flag of Arizone and flag of armed forces.
His wife came forward as the car stops, to say Greetings to her husband for last time. Sam, Gibbs, Commander Mosolize and Peter move forward with his death box on their shoulders and place it in front of his memorial stone.
Father came forward and start saying prayers for his safe journey in after life. I marched forward and his death ceremony began which continued for a hour.
Today in the burial site of Clear Water, another memorial stone is added.
' Such a young death '
I hear someone spoke.
Hal who never leaves his friends has gone. Hal has gone forever. In the age of barely twenty four years, Hal died.
If I have some idea about what was he thinking, if he share it with me a single ounce I might have some ways to stop him from dying even from his death bed.
But he didn't die as traitor but as a national hero who share his part to make Reaper Unit the best.
A national hero who cause the first key of success that shall unlock the final and last lock of victory against AQUA's AQ reborts in up coming days.
Dylan stands beside his stone as he place Hal in to his grave and thought to him self.
The final home for us all. I wonder if someone can come back from this.?
