Ashhad : because me and Humzah have gathered 57000 emeralds.

Humzah : your friends house will soon be ours, isn't that great?

Basit replied with a sad face

Basit : yeah that's amazing to hear.

Ashhad noticed Basit was sad so he asked

Ashhad : Basit why are you upset?

Basit : it's just that in the past few days I had gotten used to living with you guys and now that you are moving out it won't be the same as it was.

Ashhad : don't be upset Basit you should be happy we are finally going to become self reliant and won't be a burden on you.

Basit : you are my friends, you were never a burden for me.

Ashhad : we'll stay in touch you can visit us everyday after all our new house will be at a walking distance.

Basit : absolutely.

they then finished their dinner, after dinner Ashhad and Humzah went to their room they were sitting on their beds as Humzah said

Humzah : even after buying the house we will have enough emeralds to get furniture and other accessories.

Ashhad : this is the first house I'm buying on my own.

Humzah : wasn't the house you lived in the real world also yours?

Ashhad : it was but I didn't buy it myself, my father did.

Humzah : damn you must be missing him right now.

Ashhad : I sure am.

Humzah : Ashhad are you 100% sure all your family members are dead?

Ashhad : my mother had organized a dinner party for our whole family, all my relatives were in our house when the war began a bombing campaign by the enemy forces destroyed our house all my family members and relatives died.
