Should last days last forever?

“Gaurav,”

He was confused and I felt he wanted to say something, something of very important.

That’s what he used to do always, Give him ten minutes, he will make an essay of things that you will never imagine.

Sometimes the most brainy ideas, or sometimes his stupid conclusions with lot of supporting evidences.

Whatever,  he used to think a lot, may be all those silver hairs he has got this early says that too..

I stared into his eyes, contracted pupils. That same stupid expression again, he is thinking hard. Looking inside for something and forgetting everything outside. Mad as he is.

“Yes Manu?”

He didn’t change his expression, it was just his Lips that answered.

“Do you fear death or life ??”

This moron is not going to leave me, you know these kind of question, He doesn’t expect an answer. It just says he is starting a brand new topic for discussion..

“..And what under the sun you want me to say ??” I gave a funny gaze.

I could see a change in his expression, he took a long breath as he looked at me, I could see his eyes wet..

This is something different, he is too serious the rare thing he does ever.

I cleared my throat and asked “Friend, what happened?, is everything all right?... What happened ?”

“It is not something happened, it is something Happening, or going to happen”

His voice was heavy. So I let him  continue

“Gaurav,.. The things we can't control are nearly everything in the universe."

He paused for a while to grab my full attention and then continued.

"when a guy is been declared by doctors that he can't live for so long, have you ever thought about such a man's life?"

I was shocked for such a question, who is he talking about? Do i know him?

"Manu, who are you talking about? What s the matter?"

 l could give all the seriousness the topic needed. My friend is not just making story.

"No Gaurav, the person is not important,  the situation is.

When he knows that the things which he does everyday are not gonna last or just going to be left as half done, the things he wants to do are going to be never done. Every breath he takes, will remind him that his account is being debt, here the account is life not money. All the life he forgot to live and ran for money but now money is the last thing he want."

"True Manu, now please tell me who is it"

I was sure that he will ignore me.. When he is talking he is merely a radio.

"he must be brave,  the situation demands him to be. Because thinking about his family or the people whom he love gives him more pain than his own, this is one truth which is very tough to get used with, as every face you see tattoos it on you over and over like it never let your skin heal."
