Abandoned
The night arrived amidst the torrential pour of rain. For hours, the rain poured heavily non-stop. Many plans for tonight had been canceled due to the heavy weather.
As the stormy night deepened, the lightning in the basement dimmed.
Gunan stared at the ceiling. His eyes were blank. His mind was emptied of thoughts.
Perhaps because he had vented out the secret which he had been keeping for a long time in his heart, his mind was strangely calm.
All this time, he had continuously been thinking of how to survive or prove his worth or defeat his enemies, but now, his always occupied mind was blank as a clean slate.
If it was the usual him, he would be panicking right now and use all his tricks to get out of this situation. It was not because he had not done all he could, on the contrary, he used up all of his cards but none of it worked in front of his omnipotent father.
He had done everything he possibly could.
Gunan covered his face.
