He sat for hours beside his mother, crying quietly. He couldn't help but wonder where his father had gone. He searched around frantically, but his father was nowhere to be found.

After a while he took his one the mother arm and placed her Arm on his shoulder providing support for her. The boy refused to accept the fact that his mother has died. Moving forward with her mother's corpse one can see the trail of her blood and the path the boy covered.

The young boy had been walking for a while for what felt like an eternity. His entire body was shaking with exhaustion, and he was sweating profusely. Even his shirt was soaked through, clinging to his skin as he trudged forward. As he continued to carry his mother, his vision began to blur and he struggled to keep his eyes open.

Despite his overwhelming fatigue, the boy refused to give up. He pressed on, determined to keep moving for his mother's sake. Hour after hour, he carried her weight on his shoulders, never once stopping to rest or complain. His love for her was so great that he would have endured any hardship to keep her safe.

But eventually, his body could take no more. His legs tripped beneath him, and he collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. He had been pushing himself beyond his limits, and now his body had given out. The ground felt cold and hard against his skin, and he struggled to catch his breath as he lay there. Finally closing his eyes and fainted.

After collapsing He heard a soft whispering voice calling to him upon a fading silence "you must move on dear " after hearing those words he saw a figure approaching him silently leaving no shadow of her She was a woman with a gorgeous face and slim Physique, Silk long hair reaching past her hips . the figure sat beside him putting his head on her lap, slowly and gently patting over his head, She spoke " My dear child, you have shown me such love and devotion. You have carried me for so long, and I am so proud of you there is no point in carrying a Useless weigh. But now, it is time for you to rest. You have pushed yourself beyond your limits, and I do not want you to suffer any longer."

The boy looked up at the woman, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief. "Mother? Is it really you?" he asked, tears streaming down his face.

The woman smiled at him, a gentle and loving expression, tears also came down on her face. "Yes, my child, it is me. I have come to comfort you and to guide you on your journey. You have a long road ahead of you, but I will always be with you, watching over you and protecting you.

She cried for him, " You did'nt do anything wrong dear one its just that we've met and ill-fate you dont have to cause yourself for our loss."

The boy looked at his mother, feeling a deep sense of comfort and peace wash over him. He closed his eyes and rested his head on her lap, feeling her gentle touch soothing his tired body. He grabbed his mother so hard that he don't want her to go

Then she gave Anik a slight smile and said "you must go on without me. You have a life to live, and I want you to live it to the fullest. You have a long journey which may not be normal but Always remember that I am with you, in your heart and in your memories." With those words, the woman stood up and Faded into the silence.
