THIS IS 2nd CHAPTER OF THE STORY. PLEASE READ THE FIRST ONE (if not read already) BEFORE READING THIS ONE.

He agreed to meet Alex. The email was sent and Alex had replied with a thanks. But now Jacob had started to regret his decision. It happens so often that we make decisions that we regret in our bones. He was going to meet Alex in three days and well it meant sleepless nights and anxious days.
Since all left to do was wait, that day kept replaying in Jacob's head. The day Alex died. It all happened so fast. In the morning, Alex had gone for office as usual and never returned. Jacob had received the call later in the evening. The call was from the hospital and the caller said that Alex had met an accident and was immediately admitted to the city hospital. He had gone some operations but couldn't survive. The caller further added that Alex had asked to call him, if Alex doesn't survive. Jacob had a heavy heart. He was reluctant to go the funeral of his only friend. But just for Alex he had gone. He now felt stupid about his funeral speech. He cried and now it looked like Alex didn't care.
That was nine years ago. Nine years ago was the last time Jacob had slept peacefully. After Alex's death, sleeping pills were Jacob's only friend.
Jacob was trying to figure out what hurts more. Alex faking his death or the fact it him nine years to rebuild the communication?
