54 He loved his father.

'Single mother, hmm?' he thought. 

Her husband or a lover must be a heartless bastard to leave her in a situation like this.' Aiden thought. He hates men like these as his father was once like this.

When he was born, he had congenital illness too. His father was not there for him and his mother at that time. 

Fortunately he got well and only after that his father returned. His father was irresponsible. 

So, he always had a soft spot for single mothers. 

"How is your friend now?" he asked. 

"She is trying to live her life. They say that time heals everything but she is still suffering." Anna said. 

"Nothing can comfort her loss. We can only hope she finds something to live for." Aiden said empathize with the single mother. 

"I hope so." Anna agreed. 

She didn't find any reason to live. But she has something she must do and only after doing that could she let go of this life and escape forever from it.
