1 Suicide Attempt

Arlo, a tall young handsome man with black hair waddled inside the house as his mother Cassia asked him "Are your results here?"  Arlo handed the results to Cassia without saying a word with his pale eyes hovered with the dark circles indicating that he wasn't getting any sleep for the last couple of days, he shuffled his feet to walk to his room. "Oh my... How is it….?" Cassia said after seeing the result of her son. "He got an F!" Cassia was known to the fact that Arlo is going to the dark times of his life and it was too early for Arlo to see those days destroying his life and even there were those days when Cassia wasn't allowed to see his son's face too as he flared up with solitude only and locked himself up in his room, it had been days since Cassia heard his son's soft voice, she smacked the paper on the table and sat down with her hands on the top of her head, "When will these days pass on?" she hummed to herself, no one could believe at that time that Arlo would get an F in his exams, he was a student filled with the dedication of studies, the best student of the academy, his friends and teachers everyone was aware of the fact that it's time for Arlo to get some help but it never seemed to Arlo like that, Arlo was 18 at that time, a teenage boy suffering from depression, whether he had suicidal thoughts? No, but soon the thoughts hovered over his mind "I think it's time for me to go and meet her once again" For the first time in his entire life span he got suicidal thoughts "Should I go to my mother and say my last goodbye?" He asks himself, Cassia was known for being a good mother and an excellent chef in society, there were those days when everything was fine in Arlo's family and in fact it was the most days of their family until something occurred

"Ummm Cassia your food is top class" "If we get a choice to eat only a single food for our whole life then we will choose your chicken curry" these reviews were often normal for Cassia and she loved to let others enjoy her food, she had baked an amazing pie for Arlo which she wanted him to eat, she had the plates on her hands as she walks to the stairs

"Huh? Gates are open" 

"Arlo are you alri----?" 

"Arlo! What are you doing?!" She dashed inside the room to stop her sweet son' from being hanged by the fan, it had been two days since Arlo got failed in exams, since he tried to go far away from the world and there was an understandable reason behind his failure in exams and for attempting suicide

Brigitta his beloved girlfriend had passed away few days before his exams, she was everyone's favourite, she was a lovely, energetic girl, a girl who would never get sad and make those who around her happy, she had a car accident and died on spot, it was nothing anyone could do and that it was the fate written by god himself for Briggita that's what everyone believed but not Arlo, he blamed the driver of the car, he knew that the driver who hitted her was speeding if he could drove his car at a limited pace at that time then she could be alive right now, Arlo had to live in depression after her death, he quickly used to lock himself behind the doors in his room, only getting out for meals, errieness was eating Cassia alive, the cute smile had vanished from her face since Brigitta's death, she always used to thought that he's studying for the exams but when Arlo didn't live up to the expectations she understood that Arlo has got some problems which needs to get solved otherwise she will lost her son too, sadness had covered and hovered around her head when Brigitta walked to heaven, yes she's in heaven, a girl who would never harm even a single ant, it was so devastating when she died, Cassia had always a believe that she was not the one who was going to die that day and that it was some mistake by the god himself, she always used to wait for Brigitta to come back somehow but it was something that would never happen, it had been two days since Cassia had see his son Arlo's face after the result, she always put the plates outside his room so that he could eat something, he hadn't saw the face of school for a week, the teachers of him were also worried for him, the call always used to come to his house by his teachers asking his mother about the condition of Arlo but Cassia never had a positive answers for the teachers, Atticus, Arlo's father was a strong minded guy living most of his life for his work and never focused on his family and Arlo always had a fire of hate deep inside in his heart for his father because he never was able to spend some time with his family, when Brigitta died it was Atticus who received the news from Brigitta's parents and after that he tried for the first time to have a conversation with Arlo in two months, nor Arlo or Atticus both never tried to talk to each other for some obvious reasons. Arlo felt exhausted whenever he was around his father, Atticus never had a liking for Arlo like a son but he did loved Brigitta like his own daughter, the moment was so heartbreaking for a strong minded person like Atticus too, the tears rolled down from his eyes sustainability, he was at his office at that time, the office had a piles of documents and some photos of beautiful nature's and his family on his table, there had three photos of his family along with the nature's one, one of the photo was of his wife whom he loved her from the deepest of his heart and then there was a photo of him with Arlo and his wife and then there was a photo beside that photo is Arlo with Brigitta, Brigitta was like a family to Atticus and everyone in his family, she had lived most of the times of a day with Arlo and his family and sometime she used to sleep with Arlo in same bed during nights and they all felt blessed that their son found a girl like Brigitta, "It's some kind of plan of Briggita to make me talk to Arlo" he thought when he received the news but soon he had understood that Briggita had gone forever and will mover come back, he had known the amount of love of Arlo to Briggita and he had aware that Arlo would get destroyed if he got to know so he thought that "It would be good for Arlo if he never finds out" but it was far from possible, how could it be? But then he thought that as a father it's his responsibility to inform his son about the biggest loss that Arlo could ever feel, he had wanted to go and  talk to him personally so he could control him and so he did, he picks up the picture of Arlo and Brigitta and stared at Brigitta, he hummed to himself - "Please don't go and come back for your love Arlo, he will kill himself if you're not there with him, please for Arlo please come back" and cleaned his tears from his cheek, he placed the photo back to where it was and start to leave his office, his hands were shaking and he knew that his son would be changed forever after that, he locked his office

"Where are you going?" He heard his boss asking him, his boss saw the tears in his face and his shaking hand, it was obvious for his boss to not ask any further questions, he was the top worker of the office and his boss never wanted him to feel the pressure of work so that he could give his best to the office and business - "My daughter….. she died" he once again wiped his tears, the boss already made up his mind that he would drop him to his house, his hands were shaking so he thought that "This man could not drive a car like this"

"I have to go, sorry for today," Atticus said once again, the boss hugged him to make him feel good - "Don't worry about the works, you can take some days off" Atticus nod his head and walk away, the boss was not able to courage himself up to tell him that he's going to drop him off, he stood there silently and saw Atticus walking away, it was the last time the boss saw the dedicated and hard-working Atticus, after the death of Brigitta he changed, everyone got changed...…
