Chapter 2 - 2-Good morning

The moon crept across the sky until it disappeared, and it

was time for the sun to spread its rays, announcing the

death of yesterday and the birth of today.

Without mourning for yesterday, everyone began their

day, except for a few.

Most of the vibrations floating in the air in the morning

formed a single phrase

"Good morning."The morning has one meaning that everyone

understands,

but the word "good" is different. Although it has one

meaning, its intended meaning varies.

Either the speaker means good for you, or he means

good for himself,

and what is good for him may be bad for you in his

opinion.

Some people still believe that by wishing you well, they

may take away their own good, as if goodness were a

single apple on a long road, and if someone else finds it

first, they will remain hungry the whole way.

It is as if they do not know that the world is a forest full

of trees, and that every tree bears fruit again and again.

Therefore, the meaning of "good morning" differs from

person to person, and the "good morning" that Sam

heard after opening the door early in the morning hid

many secrets.After hearing "good morning," Sam's tongue froze,

predicting what was to come. The four people he saw in

front of him did not inspire good.

One of them pushed Sam, and he fell into the small

hallway. They all entered and closed the door behind

them.

The noise woke up the children and their mother.

One of the men approached Sam and placed his foot on

his hands, forcing him to scream.

The screams pierced the ears of his father, Yorv, who

didn't open his eyes until he rushed down to the hallway.

"Good morning..."

That was all Mr. Zwan said when he saw Yorv, who didn't

give him a chance to ask about his money. Yorv's

response to the morning greeting was the first thing he

said."I don't have your money. Let's go outside to settle this,

Zwan."

"You're not the one who decides where we settle things,

you nobody."

Mr. Zwan then pointed his gun at Yorv, and before he

even had time to close his eyes,

Zwan's ego decided that Yorv's last glance would not be

peaceful.

He got what he wanted, and Yuruf's eyes were closed

forever, just like the eyes and ears of his wife and

children from the first shot to the sixth and final one.

The sight that met their eyes when they opened them

was worse than the ugliest nightmares they had ever

seen.

The mother and children screamed. Sam's mind was

completely shut down except for the part responsible for

his sight.

Sam remained in a daze before Zwan put his feet on his

chest again."Your fate will be worse than your mother's and your

brothers'.

He owes fifteen thousand, I'll give you two days to come

up with it.

Mr. Zwan left, and screams rang out before all the

neighbors gathered and the police arrived.

The whole family was taken to the police station.

Hours passed

and the family returned home as night fell. The

neighbors had cleaned the house and removed Yurf's

blood, just as Zuan had removed him from existence.

They entered the house and silence reigned for minutes,

then everyone froze for minutes, then hours. The silence

was broken only by moans at times and tears at others.Sam went up to his father Yorv's room for the first time

in ten years.

Sam lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

It seemed that his tears had missed his cheeks after only

a few minutes of separation.

Unlike previous times, Sam's crying did not last long this

time, only until his attention was drawn to the small

pictures on the wall. He stared at them, focusing on the

one in the middle.

A red jacket, black shorts, and white sneakers.

That was what Cristiano Ronaldo was wearing as he

laughed and played with a rope.

Sam's focus on the pictures and their contents increased

until his eyes fell on the piece of paper that Yorv had

written the night before.

Sam picked up the paper to read it, and tears began to

roll down his chin again.The hands of the clock kept moving, and he wished they

would just stop there.

But the movement of the hands of the clock is the

movement of days, then years, then lifetimes.

The hands of the clock pushing each other forward is the

passing of time.

And what effect does time have?

It takes away moments, then years, it takes away lives

and memories, it takes away souls and loved ones, it

takes away peoples and civilizations.

The hands of the clock pushing each other forward is pushing everyone toward the end of their time.
