Chapter -41

(On the next morning if I remember correctly, I might say it was like a new season of the dramatic story of my precious characters. last night was so much dark. darker as hell I guess. but it's ok. after ever nightfall there is sun shining day. "don't get confused with wet dreams😑, in here 'Nightfall' means actual night. don't get cocky! things in your mind, you pervert."

as I was saying after every harsh dark night, you might believe or not there always a new sweet warm and bright day ahead. keep this in mind.)

after several days...

(Mint POV)

I have to meet Max after the examination of his whole body. it was needed as the doctors have stated that, also they kept there promise not to tell anyone. It was relieving tension by the fact that now no more things like this will happen again in future, we have to make sure of that. I went to Max room and sit beside him. he was resting quietly in his bed. looking beside the window outside peacefully, I thought he has entirely kept his senses into the scenario projecting outside of the window. but what I guess was all wrong. I think he guessed my presence when I opened the door. he was continued to look out there, after a while I sat down beside him, he expresses his thought and asked me a probability.

"Mint, what is the probability of getting a good friend and best friend in once life."

I didn't understand what he was trying to state or ask. but I have to answer him. with a confused facial expression, I started.

"aa!!!!! mmm, I think...."

before I can speak further he asked me to take him outside at the garden on the premises of the hospital. there were several hospitals that have this kind of facility for the patient. especially a university hospital. but at this kind of condition doctor have said that the injury has been minor, just his left hand and right leg fracture some scratches on his body and totally beaten up face. but still, he needs some rest. but despite that, he asked me to take him outside. who am I I to say him no? even I do he will not gonna listen.

so I do as he said I take to make him into the wheelchair and take him to the garden down. it was the timing, where the sun is about to dawn and after that, the sky will shine with milky stars all over its sheet. I guess this time is called the evening. ya, about 5:30 pm. evening.🤔

as he was looking relaxed I smile by facing his face and exile my breath of worries. he replied me back with the same question previous he asked me.

I think my vision is still not correct, but I need to answer that. might note accurately but still, it's my version of this answer.

"I personally think that there are lots of difference between those two criteria. but what I think is....mm!! I guess good friends are well and good people who keep coming and pass over time to time In short, they change according to the environment and there is a limitation on good friends in your life you take them in but, up to a certain level or boundary that you wish they never cross it. the closeness to them is limited. I personally think I can't share everything with them. I don't have that much trust in them that I can't share my problems and difficulties with them. maybe I was afraid of being miss judge or might feel like there aren't helpful enough for me. they are only part of my lifestyle."

he looked at me with a sense of understanding but also having pity eyes, blinking on my face expressing to ask more question regarding this. before that happens he smiles and nodes giving an answering to my words as understandable. I thoroughly speak about my best friends.

"Despite having as much as good friends as my good wisher. somehow they fail to fulfil the duty regarding the topic when you wanted to trust someone, relies on them or having a conversation that may recover your heart and mind. if I say in short words you don't have much faith in them. whereas best friends are as brothers/sisters. you not only trust, have faith in them, relies on them for your problems and difficulties but most importantly, you open up to them entirely, whatever your personality, whatever your way of expressing yourself, they never feel embarrassed for who you are. you can express your true self in front of them. they might say harsh words to mock you, even sometimes best friends beat you out of anger it's happened most of the time in between best friends but they never leave because of that. they are ones that support, heal and protect you from gaining any damages.

they are not part of your life like as those of your good friends but they are the per individual souls, one who teaches you how to lead a better lifestyle."

I hoped this much description night help him to understand the topic in a much wider way. he apologies for that last night that we have to see, and expressed his views regarding my friendship.

"I'm so, sorry for all the trouble that I have caused to you and all of our friends. I feel guilty about that. I should have asked for your help before, I'm Sorry Mint, but I don't want to bother you about the money for my own personal problem."

he cried out loud with tears in his eyes, he doesn't want to look me into the eyes directly so he lit his head down. keeping his hand aside of the bench clinch harder as he expresses his guilt of pain in that way.

"it's ok, it doesn't matter now. all have passed well. now left that part in the past."

I was consulting him not to think about that more.

"I will definitely return the money to you."

"ah! no need to take tension about that. you don't have to worry about me."

I already know his cause of taking money from them. before I came to the hospital I asked Han about the matter. he clearly stated that he needs money for treatment of his mother. the cost was quite not affordable, so he has to borrow money from loan sharks. I can understand that, and as be said he did not want me to bother me, I didn't mention that I know everything. that's what best friends do. acknowledge the problems before they speak. right?

I smile at him and hugged him tightly. keep saying everything is well now. patting his back.

"Mint"

"hmm"

"you are the best men I can ask for, you never get bothered to help or any of your friends."

"oh! come on you are making me shy now."

"you are my best friend. right?"

"Of course."

"as you mentioned, you are true to yourself when around me. but why do I feel you aren't express yourself enough."

I know what he was trying to get to know when he asked. my happy face turned down. I take my body back into a sitting position and straight looked into his eyes while holding his hands.

"one last question Mint, am I a good friend or best friend to you?"

I don't have an answer for that question.
