Old man: (paused for a while, then he looked at him and nod his head) No, I didn't. All I know is there were serial killers sent to kill me, but by who, I don't know. But it doesn't matter anymore, it's in the past.
Andrew: (fascinated by this old man's reply) So you are not seeking revenge? You will just let them go like that?
Old man: Yes, my son. I have no power to fight them even if I find them, so why should I bother myself? You shouldn't start what you can't finish.
Andrew: Wow, you are a good man, maybe I should learn from you some other time.
Old man: (smiled slightly) Now you know my story, let me in on yours.
Andrew: Oh, well mine is kind of different and somehow. In fact it doesn't matter, I just ran from home to get fresh air, nothing much.
Old man: (the old man wasn't satisfied with that reply, he wanted to know more about the young man) Oh really? So does that mean you won't tell me about yourself?
Andre: (found it kind of strange of strange that the man wanted to know about him. He already made up his mind not to tell anyone about what was going on his family) I'm sorry, I have to go now. I've been away from home too long. I'll see you next time Sir.
Old man: (smiled slightly as he watched the young man run off. Within some few seconds, his smile turned into a scary frown, then he removed the mask on his face, revealing the face of a very young handsome man who is in his twenties. He laughed out loud then he began to talk to himself.) Fool! You think you can escape? No one can escape from my grasp, I'll find you and end your miserable life, with that of your family. (Then he laughed out loud in an evil way)
Andrew reached his home in the evening, when he entered, everyone was shocked to see him. They were all happy he came back except there mom. They welcomed him, he took his bath and joined them for dinner. He looked at his mom and tears filled his eyes, she still doesn't recognize him. Then he noticed that everyone on the table had a sad expression on their faces, he thought it was business as usual, he never knew that their dad broke a bad news to them. After dinner, they all went to their rooms, few minutes after he entered his room he heard a knock on the door, when he went to open it, he saw his brother at the door. Carlos entered even before being invited in, he sat down on the huge bed. Andrew locked the door, then he sat down on the sofa(he has a one sitter sofa in his room) waiting to hear what his brother had to say.
Carlos: (Let out a sigh, then he stood up from the bed and stared outside) Where were you? I went to all the places I knew you would go to but I didn't find you.
Andrew: I went to the countryside. I got bored of all this other places.
Carlos: when you were away, father told us something big.
Andrew: (interested) What is that?
Carlos: After this academic session, we will have to drop out of school.
Andrew: (Shocked) What? Why?
Carlos: Well dad said he has no more money to sponsor us to school, he's saving it to pay his debt and free our sister.
Andrew: That's not a good excuse, he shouldn't sacrifice our education just because he wants to pay a debt. That's preposterous of him, why would he do something like that? Doesn't he knows that we are already the laughing stock of the town? And now he wants us to drop out of school again, that's too much bro. I won't accept it.
Carlos: (turned and stared at his brother for a while) What are you going to do about it? I also tried to convince him that what he was about to do wasn't right, but he didn't listen. He has already made up his mind, you should know our dad by now. Once he makes up his mind, that's it, he won't listen to anyone's opinion again. We all tried our best but to no avail. I just thought you needed to know, that's why I told you. Our family is going through a lot and I'm sure you of all people should understand. So I don't expect you to cause trouble. We will all be fine.
Andrew: (Wasn't happy about it, but he had to reason with his brother) Ok, I hope so.
Carlos: (Pat his brother at the back and went to the door) thanks bro, good night.
Andrew: Good night.
Aldo was in his room, on his bed thinking about what his children life will be like when they drop out of school, he was worried that it wasn't going to be good but he had no other choice. They were already the laughing stock of the town, what else could be more worse than that, he thought.
