On Saturday evening when I was watching TV suddenly I heard the cry of my brother outside the house.
I was surprised because he left home very early in the morning and said that he was going to visit his friend. He said he was worried that he hasn't seen him in school for some days and that this was unusual.
He left home very early and came back few minutes later. Apparently, his friend had been dead for two days and he wasn't aware.
