The Friendship
Noah
I came here as soon as I could, Iker?
Noah barged inside Iker's home and rushed inside Idris's room to find her body, dressed into a patient's gown, her eyes closed
Iker was sitting besides Idris's head on the bed, looking at her with pain in his eyes
Iker
She left me. I couldn't be a good brother to her.
Iker started cursing himself.
Iker
I should have never let her work. When mom and dad were alive she never used to work. She didn't even do the house jobs
Iker
Mom and dad used to keep her like a glass doll, protecting her against everything and tonight, I-
Iker
I f-failed as a brother.
Noah
It's not your fault, Iker. None of this, is your fault.
Noah said, trying to comfort him.
Noah looked at Idris's body and mourned for her for two minutes alongwith Iker, embracing the silence before he opened his mouth and spoke again.
Noah
So what now? You have to do the honors for her, right?
Iker looked up at Noah with tears dwelling.
Iker
No! My grandma left me when I was five. Mom dad left me 13 months ago. And now my sister? I'm not going to let her leave me okay?!
Iker
SHE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE!
Iker lost his sanity with the last sentence and started screaming in pain
Iker
SHE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE!
Noah
Shh! Shh! Shh! Buddy, calm down.
Noah grabbed onto Iker and hugged him tighter.
Noah
You still have me okay? I'm with you. I'm never going to leave you.
Iker hugged Noah back and broke into pathetic tears rolling down his cheeks
Iker
I- I wanna avenge her death. I want to find that man who did this to her and teach him how it feels like to loose someone.
Iker
I want to punish him for murdering my sister!
Noah felt really bad about Iker. Iker and him have been friends from a very long time. Ever since they were like five.
Noah had witnessed how Iker had lost all of his family and been the shoulder Iker could cry on.
He still remember how Iker wasn't eating for days after his grandma died. He had to be hospitalized, he became so serious.
It was only Noah who could bring him to eat back then.
Same as when his parents died. Iker locked himself up inside his room for days until it was Noah who could counsel him to open up again.
He knew Idris since she was two. Watched her growing. Loved her like his own sister. And then one day, Idris told Noah that she loved him.
He had to break her heart and tell her that he only saw her as his sister and that he loved someone else.
There was pain in his chest remembering that moment and watching Idris's lifeless body right now.
Noah
*snuffles* I'll do anything to help you do it Iker. You know I'm always there for you.
Noah
Give me some time. I'll use my mafia contacts and find out who did this to Idris, okay?
Noah pat Iker saying that, trying to make him hold onto this. Iker stopped crying after hearing Noah and swallowed through his tears
Iker
Mmh. I'm not going to bury my sister before I bury that bastard who did this to her!
