M/C's POV (Best friend)

I was walking with my best friend, Malik. His was my friend since we were in primary school and he was like a brother to me.

We like to make stories up, make joke and lots of fun things. I hope this would never change....

But, it wasn't my decision to make it stay in that way...

One day, We were walking along side each other while making up stories about our future.

" Hey, you know, if we make a book out of our stories, maybe it will be the best-selling in Malaysia, or maybe throughout the WORLD!! " Malik screamed as he was on the Cloud 9.

" Yeah, it must be the best and funniest stories ever, " I continued and laughed because most of our stories are like super duper imaginatively awesome.

" Haha haha, yeah that is right, "
We both burst into laughter.

We usually like to talk every time we went home together while waiting for my van to come and pick me up.

We talk and laugh, we even make some gag on the scenes. Even though it was only for a short time, it is still the cherish moments that I had...

" Hey Malik, my van is already here, " I said, while standing up.

" Oh, yeah, you need to get back."
" So see you tomorrow? " he asked?

" Yeah man, of course we see each others again tomorrow " I laughed and enter the van.

Malik waved goodbye and smiled at me and I did the same........

But something is wrong with Malik that time, he rather seem sad. Like he knew something that I didn't know...

Then......

When my van just about to depart from the location...

* BANG!! SCREEECCHHH!!!! CRASH!! *

There was a car accident just happen, and the noise was coming from the direction where Malik is heading.

" SOMEONE PLEASE CALL THE AMBULANCE!! " screamed the driver.

" THERE IS A BOY WHO GOT HIT AND NOW HE UNCONSCIOUS!!
PLEASE HURRY!! " he continued and all the passerby started to get their phone to dial 999....

The van driver got out from the van to see the incident.
" Don't get out from the van! Stay!! " warned the van driver.

But I didn't stay, and get out from the van and see that......Malik got hit by a car...

And I was standing there, doing nothing as I see Malik's body laid on the bed of the road.
I could see blood oozing out from his body... he looked like he already............................................................................................................

- DEAD -

I was speechless, it was..... like all of the sudden.... I didn't expected this, I never wanted it to be the last goodbye now, it is too early for him to go......

* After several minutes *

* Ambulance's siren sound followed by the police car *

The ambulance stopped and its paramedics came out to the scene with the stretcher, while the policemen investigate the scene.

" Everyone, please calm down and give some space. " said one of the policemen, furiously.

One of the paramedics check Malik's pulse very meticulously to see if there any sign of life.

Suddenly, they lift Malik gently and put him on the stretcher.

They rushed to the ambulance and closed the doors.

" Wait! Is he alive? Is everything going to be fine? " I stopped one of them and ask if everything is alright.

" Everything will be alright for now, but we need to go to the hospital right away, so please don't disturb us " explained the paramedic briefly.

After that, they went to the hospital with the siren on as it need to get there ASAP.
Leaving the police to do their job.

" How does it happen? " asked the one of the policemen to the driver, while the others investigate and find more information.

" Well its happen so instantaneous, that I can't describe it " said the driver confused.

" Then tell me how the car accident happen briefly, " ask the policeman again as he want to gain more information.

" Well, I was driving the car while searching for my card, after I found it, my car hit the speedbump and it dropped to the floor. I tried to fetch it and then the boy was in the middle of the road... I managed to step on the break panel but the car still moving fast and hit him. Then I lost control and crash into the tree..." explained the driver.

" Ok, thank you sir for the information. " thanked the policeman.

" I'm glad that I can help " replied the driver.

" Chief! " said the other policeman, while looking at the boy's belonging.

" What is it, Lieutenant ? Asked the Chief.

" It seem that I have found who the boy was " said the Lieutenant.

" That's great, " the Chief praises.

" But, we only have so tiny details about him. " he explained.
" What should we do now ? "
He asked.

" We can ask someone from the passersby to see if they know who the boy is, " The Chief suggests. " That way, we can gain more information about it " he continued.

" That's a great idea " he agreed.
The lieutenant stands up and walks toward the passersby.

" Does anyone here know about the boy? " he asked.
Nobody answer.

Then, " Me! " I said it. " I know about him. "

" Thanks, young boy. You help is much appreciated. " thanked the Lieutenant.

" Bring the boy to me. " requested the Chief.

" Sir yes sir! "

" So kid, can you please tell me all the thing that you know about the boy? "

" Ok, I will tell you. " I agreed.
" Thank you, boy " said the Chief.

" His name is Malik, and he is 16 years old. He lived here at ........??......... and he also studied at ......???...... " I told him, with very specific detail.

" Thanks for your help " said the Chief.

" It is a pleasure to do so. " I said, while looking down.

" Hey, what's the matter? " asked the Chief, gently.

" No, it just that, he was my best friend and now he's dying... " my eyes started to watering.

" Don't be so sorrow, we need to stay strong and pray for them, " said the Chief, giving inspiration.

" Ok thank you, " I sniffles while wiping my tears.

Then, he walks to the others,
" Ok let's go! "
" Yes sir! "
They get into the car and go with the siren...

All the passersby just went havoc and continued their work.,

I, myself just keeps on hoping that Malik would still be alive.

Then.......
My family and I went to the hospital to check on Malik's condition.

But..... it was too late...

Malik has died on the way to the hospital. I couldn't do anything except remembering our moments...

His family was there too, his brother walks toward me and put his hand on my shoulder and said,

" PJShady, I'm so sorry. The doctor couldn't do anything to save him. Maybe it was his destiny to end in this way. " said Malik's brother, sympathetically.

" No, it can't be true " I cursed beneath my breath. "He shouldn't be the one who have to go first! " I cursed again, as I'm regret that Malik's demise was my fault.

" It should be me who must die! Not him! But why... why must you go first? Why God take you away from this world? WHY!!? TELL ME WHY!!? " I screamed, as I was very upset due to fact.

All of the family cried together as they are helpless.....

*Two weeks later*

I was doing my homework upstairs when suddenly....

* Knock knock knock *
There are knocks on the front door of my house.

" Coming! " I yelled from upstairs and came rushing down to the front door.

" Yes, who is it? " I greet as I was opening it.
There are two policemen standing in front of my door.

" Are you PJShady? " asked one of them.
" Yeah, that's me, what's the matter? " curiously asking for more information as I had no idea.

" We believed that this belonging of the victim named Malik, belong to you, " handing me a piece of card.

* I looked at the card, and started to feel irate *

" Why...? Why must you give me this? Can't you see that I don't want to thinks about it again...? "
I feel like my emotion is unstable and I started to get vehement all of the sudden.

" Calm down, son " He tried to calm me down.
" There is a reason why we gave you this card-- " he continued.

" I don't want to hear it, and if you don't have anything else to say, I believe you should just leave me alone, " I cut them off as I really don't want to know about it.

" Ok, hope you have a nice day. " said one of the policemen.

" I hope I can, until you ruin it. "
I slammed the door and go to upstairs.

" Honey, is everything alright? " asked my mom, as she was very worried about me lately.

" Sorry, Mom. It just that.... (sighed) I need some time alone. "
I trying to be calm as I can.

* Enter my room and locked the door *

" Why? Why must this comes back to me? Its been two weeks since the death of Malik. " I mumbled.

Then I looked back at the card, and flipped it.

Then, I saw a writing... It says
" @PJShady, this card I have as a memory for us. I know that I have cause you troubles, even though you actually have yours but you just...
accept it. So, to make it up for you, I set a puzzles for you to find how much I cherish all the moments we have. So here some clues for you to begin your adventures.

P.S I'mrunningoutofspacerightnow.
Sohopeyouunderstandwhatiwriteforyouhere

" I must be there right now!! " I screamed and rush through the front doors, grabbing what ever I can to accomplish it.

" Mom, I'm going to the school now " I said, simply.

" Oh honey, be back safely! " my Mom said.

" Oh God, please help him on his way " my Mom prayed, in her heart.

( Running to the school when suddenly...)

* BUMPS *

" Owh!! " I hit someone when I was running.

"Oh, I'm sorry, " said the mysterious lady-like voice.

I seem to recognised that voice. Then I looked up and it was.........

" Nightstorm!!? " I exclaimed.

" PJShady!!? " she did the same too.

" Errr.... why are you here? " I asked, as I never expected her to be there.

" Oh, ummm...I was just...uhhh.... hey, have you noticed the weather today is? Yeah it's a little bit dark now, I think its going to rain in a couple of hours. Ok that's all bye! " she said, very fast like a rapper and went off.

I was speechless but I must continue my quest. I continue running to the school and go to the place that Malik told me.

I scavenge all the possible places where it could be.....

" Ugh....! This is so hard! I can't seem to find it. " I cursed.

Then, I check the card again, then I saw there were a small circling at the end of the card, it was pointing at a direction.

" Wait. Let me check. " I go where the we took the picture.

" Ok,if we were standing here, so the place where this circle is overrrrr....... THERE! " I rushed there as I figured out where it was.

Then, I started to find the next clue.
" Where is it? X2 " I constantly repeating that as I search for it.

" Argh! Its hopeless, I can't find it." I started to give up.....

Then, I sat down to calm myself down.

While I was contemplating, I felt like I was touching some smooth surface like a card.

I picked up and saw the next clue!!

" WHAT?!! IT WAS HERE ALL ALONG?! " I shouted as I was really frustrated for searching for the next clue.

" Well, at least I found the next clue, " I said as I really work hard to find out what Malik want to say.

" Congratulation! You found my next clue. I knew you would never give up. This time the clue is hidden somewhere in the class... something that we would play when there is no teacher is teaching. "

P.S
- If the class's doors is locked, don't ask the teacher for the key. I hid it somewhere when there is an emergency -
Hint: maybe you  'COULD SEE THROUGH' the key.

" Our class? " I questioned myself.
" And something we would play?" Again with the questioning.

" I better head there, fast! " I ran as fast as I can like Usain Bolt.

I hiked, jumped and ran up the stairways trying to reach the class.

" Ha... ha... Finally, I reach it. " I pant.

" Let's check if the door are lock,"
I walks toward the front doors.

* Kaching, kaching *
- The sound of the door's lock -

" Oh, come on.... " I whined.
" Now, how am I going to get inside? " wondering while looking around.

Then I glanced at the back doors.
" Ah hah! I got it! " suddenly I remembered something.

" We usually uses the back doors to get into the class when we stayed at school. " I continued.

Then I walks toward the back doors,
" Ugh! Why...don't this...doors...open? " I tried to pull open the doors but it won't budge.

" Argh! Damn this little double ganger doors! " I cursed beneath my breath.

" Wait! Didn't Malik said that he hid the key somewhere else? " I thought.

I took the card again and see the hint.

" Its says that I could see through the key... What? It doesn't make sense! " I tried to be reasonable but it just don't make sense.

But maybe there is something else behind this messages.
Then I checked back the hint and read it carefully.

" Hint: maybe you 'COULD SEE THROUGH' the key. " I read it loud and clear.

" Why did Malik highlighted the phrase 'COULD SEE THROUGH'?" I try to guess what it mean.

" What kind of thing that we can see through? " I questioned myself.

Then I look at the windows, where I can see my reflection.

" Oh dang, my hair is a mess! " I corrected my hair while looking at the windows.

Then I noticed something near the window's edges.

" Isn't that... the class key!? " I exclaimed as I was surprised to see that.

Finally, I get to open class " I took the key and rushed to the front doors.

I gently open the locks and the doors open. I entered and turn on the light.

" Now, where the next clue? " while checking the card.

" something we would play, huh?"  I giggled while reading the clue.

" It must be the chess. It should. "
I said it with full of confident.

" But where is it? " I questioned my self after looking around at the class. The class is spotless that I couldn't find where the chess was hidden.

" They must cleaned up the place since Malik is gone now, right? "
I talked to myself, wondering how is the other going through all these.

" Better search it before it getting late and started to rain. " I snapped myself out from spacing out.

" Maybe they hid it in the closet. "
I thought and rushed to the room where it is located.

While I was searching for the chess, someone just came into the classroom.

" Hello? Is anybody there? " said the mysterious voice.

" Oh no, I going to get into trouble now... " I said, worried.

" Guess the teacher forget to lock the doors. " the voice started to speak and then close the doors, LOCK.

" Oh my God, how am I going to get out now? " I feared.
" That is the only key " I continued, feeling much more panicked.

Suddenly, I hit something on the ground and i fell hard to the floor.

" Ouch! What did I hit? " trying to figured out what just happen.

" Wait, isn't that... the Chess!? "
I'm excited, forgetting about the things that just happen.

" Let's see if the clue is in there "
I opened the cover and I'm shocked, because it was nothing.

All the pieces is gone and nothing is inside the box.

I search for the clue but it was not in the box.
Then, when I was just about to close the box with the cover, I noticed that the cover is oddly weird.

Then I turn it around and see there is a piece of paper attached to it.

" Is it the next clue? " I wondered as I have gone through all this trouble for Malik's sake.

I take off the paper and opened it.

And see, it was just the instruction on how to play the chess.

" What is this? Where the clue? And why is this paper have a lot of highlights? " I questioned and questioned all over again.

I started to read the highlighted words as they have important messages.

" Move... 2 to the front... then moves to the... " I continued reading until I realised that the clue is in the instruction.

" So where do I start? " I started to searching for more clue about it.

I turned the paper and see some writing on it.

It says " Well done. I'm impressed that you have gone through the day without getting caught. So this is my final clue.
Clue: Go to the school field, and stands exactly where we took our picture together.

P.S
- There is a secret surprise.

" Ok, finally! " I relieved that it was going to come to the end.

I stands up and try to get out.

" Wait a minutes. I don't have the key...! " I forgot about that I locked inside the classroom.

" Oh, yeah the back doors. " an idea bulb just lit on my head.

After that, I rushed to the back doors and opened them carefully.

" The coast is clear, " I told myself, as to confirm that it is clear.

I rushed out and go straight to the school field.

There, I walks alone and stands where Malik wanted me to.

" So, what is this ' Secret ' surprises " I just started to being a little bit sarcastic when suddenly...............

I found a box lying on the ground.......

I didn't know when it was there.
But it must be for me...

The box have a writing, it said
" My Last Words "

I opened it and saw all of the things that we made......

My eyes started to waters and the dark clouds began to rain....

There a piece of note attached to the cover, it says.........

" By the time, you read this, its mean this things has arrives to you, and also I already go away from this place. But i wanted to tell you how much I cherish the moments we have together, and I knew that maybe by that time, I couldn't have the chance to tell you. I been planning on this like five days ago because I felt like I might be going somewhere else and never see you again. So I hope you take care of our stuff as i take care of them, ok now that I have show and tell you,
I would like to say.............................

-GOODBYE-

" Malik, why? Why you do this to me? Why you didn't tell me in the first place? WHY, MALIK!? WHY!!! " I yelled in agony as I lost the one and only brother that I loved...

The rains started to rain heavier and heavier.... as the box, I find a shade for it..... my tears aren't seen because of the rain....

My face become solemn and my heart start to breaks into pieces...

And now, only these things that still remains in our moments.

" I'm sorry, PJShady " if Malik still alive, I thinks he would say that now.

" No one in this world stays alive forever... even if they lived over a 100, they eventually meet with death. " the last thing I remembered in my life lesson.

-THE END-
