"READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED"
Clayton took out his gun and pointed it towards the person near him. Blood was to be shed on ground today, of two people. People who hated each other so badly.
Martin did not know the end of his life that was awaiting him that day. Neither did Austin know his end.
"BANG".....
A loud sound was heard from the gun that was in Clayton's hands. The bullet that left Clayton's gun went straight through Martin's head. Martin did not know what is coming behind. As the bullet penetrated through his head, he immediately fell on the ground. We don't know when our last breath is waiting for us. A life is so uncertain.
Carlyx could not see this anymore what was happening in front of his eyes. He would have never even imagined of what he just saw at the moment. He screamed un consciously.
"DAAAAAAAD."
Felix and Anne saw Carlyx running from behind the sofa that was present in the lobby of the house. They did not have time to think how he came behind that as he must have been in his room.
Clayton and Freddie loosened their grips at Anne and Felix respectively. Clayton and Freddie ran towards the unconscious Austin who was lying on the cold floor. Both of them took Austin in their arms and rushed outside the home. It had started snowing outside by then. It was the NEW YEAR EVE night. They went near their car and drifted it towards the hospital.
Felix and Anne dashed towards Martin who was lying down unconscious. Red liquid the so called blood was all over the floor. The floor which was made of the skin creamy colored marble now seemed like the floor made of pure red wine colored marble. All that was in front of their eyes was not less than a deadly nightmare.
Felix did not consider to waste a minute and called the ambulance. He went near his Dad's chest and tried to hear his heartbeat. He couldn't hear a beat. He denied the scary fact and believed his dad will be perfectly alright. He shrugged off all his thoughts and looked around his surrounding.
Anne was sitting beside the Martin's body. She started shivering. These words were coming from her mouth continuously.
"It's because of me. I should not have opened the door for him. I should have died instead."
Carlyx was comforting his mother.
"Everything will be okay, nothing will happen to dad."
He could not control his emotions now and a tear was out of his beautiful eyes that saw something extremely dangerous. He controlled himself not letting an other tear out.
Felix saw the tears collecting in Carlyx's eyes. Carlyx was looking towards his hands which were totally covered in blood, the blood of his father.
Carlyx looked towards his dad and then at Felix. Carlyx's hands were trembling a bit now.
"Felix..., will dad be okay." Carlyx said in a low calm voice not letting his elder brother know how much he was scared at that moment.
Felix turned towards Carlyx. "Yes Cally everything will be okay, he will be fine. Don't worry. Ambulance will be here soon. Be strong, hmm, I am with you." Felix said this in a breath. After saying these comforting words Felix immediately hugged Carlyx and patted his back. They broke the hug after a few seconds. Felix rubbed his fingers on Carlyx's cheeks to wipe his tears that were rushing out by now.
In the meantime ambulance arrived. The paramedic came inside the home rushing. He came near the person lying on the ground.
"Sir, he got shot in head. Please help." Felix said to the person who came with the ambulance.
The worker took Martin's wrist in his hand. He tried to check the heartbeat. He could not feel anything. He went near Martin's chest and put his head on it. There was still nothing observed.
"There is a slim chance of surviving. We have to take him to the hospital, hurry up." The worker spoke and went outside asking the other person to take a stretcher inside.
"Time skip"
"In the hospital"
"This is a police case we need the police to arrive first." The doctor said his words and went inside a room.
After a while police came and investigated the case and allowed the surgery. Doctors went inside the ICU where patient was. The surgery continued for two hours.
Anne, Felix and Carlyx were waiting outside the intensive care unit. The three of them were praying for their beloved. The two sons were hugging their mom, comforting her and saying that dad will be okay.
The ICU's lights were off now. Doctors came outside the room. Anne and her children ran towards the doctor.
"How is my dad?" Carlyx went towards the doctors and asked.
"I am very sorry we could not save him." The doctor said leaving all of them in shock.
Nothing was same now. A loved one was no more with them. This feeling hurts the most. Heart seems to stop. Mind goes blank. You just want to see that person talk to you just for once. But he won't reply. Just for once you want to hear their voice but you can't. A minute ago they were here but now they are not. It makes your heart ache more than anything, more than anything in this universe. The most harsh truth that we are made to accept, that this world makes us accept. All that left behind are memories.
