The feeling of losing someone close to you is one of the miserable things that we face. Everything happened unexpectedly in Jezebel's life. Her life at first was full of darkness. She lost interest to live but God had another plan for her. He brought Daniel into her life and he changed her into a new person. He taught her to ignore the negative vibes around her, how to enjoy each moment of her life, how to smile even in difficult situations and so on.

The impact he had in her life can't be provided by anybody else in this world, not even her family. She understood the actual meaning of friendship and cherished his presence. They loved each other like best friends and their relationship was pure. They knew their limits and didn't dare to cross them.

But now everything came to an end. Daniel is no more. He left her forever but he left behind his memories with her. Jezebel has these memories to remember and this will help her to live without him. But still, she is sure that nobody can fill the void. None can replace him.

The body was taken for postmortem and will be handed over to his family later. Jezebel didn't dare to see his body so she directly went to her home. Beula asked her so many questions but she didn't reply. When they reached, she rushed towards her room and laid on the bed and allowed the tears to flow down.

Around 8:30 pm she woke up and went down to have a glass of water. She felt like she will lose her balance anytime.

“Jez, what's wrong? You okay?" asked Beula who was present inside the kitchen.

“Move Beu. I want water."

"What happened Jez? You were crying right?"

“SO WHAT?" Jezebel shouted.

“Hey---"

“Beu stay away from me."

Jezebel took a glass and poured the water and gulped in one go. She then threw the glass and it landed on the floor and was scattered into tiny crystals. Beula was taken aback by her behaviour.

“What's wrong with you Jezebel? At least tell me what's disturbing you," said Beula.

Jezebel looked at her and the next second, she tightly hugged Beula and cried her heart out. Beula rubbed her back and tried to comfort her.

“Why are you crying dear? Tell me what's the matter?"

“I...lost the most...precious thing that...God gave me. I lost it...forever..."

“What's that?" asked Beula quizzically.

“Da... Daniel..."

Beula broke the hug and stared at her. She cupped Jezebel's face.

“What do you mean?"

“He is no more. God took him away. He took my gift away from me."

Hi Jezebel
Thomas here
Daniel's body arrived. Tomorrow is the funeral
....at 2:00 pm.
We all will be here.
C u soon...

Jezebel read the message and put the phone back on the table. She pulled the duvet over her and closed her eyes. The only face that came to her mind was Daniel's. She wished everything happened so far was a dream and nothing has happened to Daniel. But fate can't be changed.

A gentle knock on the door made her sit up.

“Come in..." The door opened and Jezebel saw Beula.
