"Ashar" implies "hope" that is ought in everyone's life, but Asher has forfeited all of his hope and wants to cease his life.

As Asher stood by the sea, his gaze fixed on the endless horizon, he couldn't shake the weight of his despair. Each crashing wave seemed to echo the tumultuous thoughts swirling in his mind, a relentless reminder of the pain and sorrow that had brought him to this moment.

Memories flooded his consciousness, each one a bittersweet reminder of a life once filled with happiness and hope. He remembered the days when he would come to this very spot with his parents, the sound of their laughter mingling with the gentle rhythm of the waves. It was a time of innocence and joy, a time when the future seemed limitless and full of promise.

But then, everything changed.

As Asher's thoughts turned to his beloved girlfriend, a pang of regret pierced his heart. He remembered the love they shared, the moments of tenderness and intimacy that once defined their relationship. But somewhere along the way, the cracks began to appear, and their love slowly faded into a distant memory.

With each passing day, Asher felt himself sinking deeper into despair, the weight of his past bearing down on him like an unbearable burden. He couldn't escape the overwhelming sense of emptiness that consumed him, a hollow ache that seemed to grow with each passing moment.

And so, standing by the sea, Asher made a decision. A decision to end the pain, to escape the suffocating grip of his memories once and for all. The sea stretched out before him like a vast expanse of possibility, a final refuge from the torment of his existence.

But as Asher took a step towards the waves, a faint glimmer of something stirred within him. A glimmer of hope, so small and fragile that he could barely recognize it. It was a whisper of possibility, a fleeting reminder that perhaps, just perhaps, there was still a chance for redemption.

After all, what happened to Ashar that he wants to culminate his life like this with these flowing waves?
