Chapter 2 - Tragedy past

A peaceful place where a river is flowing, and next to the river is a grassland where a small child has been seen watching the river flow. 

The child's age could be around 10 to 11 years, and he has silver hair. 

Behind the child, a man is walking slowly, and he looks quite distinct. 

His hair is completely silver, and his red eyes resemble rubies. He is wearing plain clothes, but he still looks very good in them. 

The man approaches and places his hand on the child's shoulder. 

The little boy turns his head back, and when the man sees him, he says, "Dad, you finally came." 

The dad replies, "Yes, I have come. So tell me, what were you doing?"

With the smile child say"I saw the current of the river; there are also fishes in to"

With the simple smile his father's say"So why don't we go fishing sometime"

"Really Dad"

"Yes son"

"But first we have to go home ok"

"Let's go home then"

 The little child happily says. And then the father and the little child start walking towards a car. The father and the little child get into the car. 

The father starts the car and drives towards the road. A house filled with green plants and flowers is reminiscent of a garden. 

A black car drives into the parking space in front of that house. The man and the little child get out of the car. 

The little child goes inside through the front gate, shouting, "Mommy, we are back!" Hearing the voice, a woman comes out from the main door. How does she look? 

She has night-like black hair and ocean-like blue eyes, in which love can be seen. "Arty, you have come, my child." Upon hearing this, the child runs to the woman. The father also comes inside the house through the gate.

Mother looks at Father and asks, "Has your work been done?" Father replies, "Well, the work is done now, there won't be much trouble; it was difficult to convince the owner of the shop, but I was able to." 

Hearing this, mother says, "Okay, then you take a shower, and Please, will you give Arty a bath too?while I set up dinner; and first, Arty, go and bring your sister." Hearing this, the little child runs to the upstairs room. 

"Lily, mom is calling you downstairs." In a room with a small bed covered with a cartoon bed sheet, toys are scattered around. 

Sitting among the toys is a little girl who is playing with them.

The girl's age might be around 7 to 8 years old, with black hair, red eyes, and cream-like skin. 

When she hears her brother's voice, it seems like her red eyes brighten or start to glow. "Brother, you've come! I was very bored when you weren't here."

"You don't need to be bored anymore because I've come and quick Come downstairs, mom has called," the child says.

The little girl stands up slowly, runs quickly to the child, and says with a big smile, "Okay, brother!" Both children hold hands and start walking down the staircase. This moment filled with joy is so precious, isn't it?

The little boy and little girl go into the kitchen and say to their mom with big smiles, "Wow, mommy, it smells so good!""I'm really hungry!"

Seeing her children, Mommy has a lovely smile on her face, and then she says, "Arty, first finish your bath and Little Miss sunshine you will help Mommy serve dinner ok" Hearing this, the little boy says, "Okay, Mommy, I'll quickly clean myself up." Saying this, the little boy runs toward the bathroom.

The little girl, making a cute face, says, "Okay, Mommy." With Mommy, the little girl whose name is Lily and nickname is Lil Miss Sunshine, is going to set the dinner table.

After a while, the man who is the father of these two children, the husband of this woman, comes with Arty after bathing in the bathroom. 

Daddy looks at the dishes and says, "Oh wow, what all have you made today? What special occasion is it that you've prepared so much?" 

Mommy smiles gently and replies, "Actually, today is nothing special; everyone likes all these dishes, so I made them all. Now, just don't look yet and start eating."Hearing this, everyone begins to eat. The entire dinner is filled with laughter, smiles, and joy. 

This moment is so precious and joyful; everything is going so well, isn't it? But what is going to happen in this story is beyond your and my imagination,Only time will tell.

"Arty, finish all your food; don't leave any vegetables." "Okay, Mommy."

"But Mommy, what happened to you?"

Mom listens to this and gets confused, asking, "What happened to me?" Before anyone could say anything, suddenly everything starts glitching like a game, every single thing. It's as if a video is glitching, and all at once, time stops.

Everything halts, and then what happens is something no one had imagined. 

Inside a room, a boy is sleeping on a bed; he is probably around 15 or 16 years old, has silver hair, and skin as smooth as milk. The color of his eyes is a bit difficult to determine because his eyes are closed. 

But that boy suddenly opens his eyes; the color of his eyes is blue, and everything looks vibrant before his handsome face. In a low voice, he says.

"Where is this smoke coming from?" Saying this, he gets up from his bed, quickly moves to the door of his room, and opens it forcefully. 

He sees fire in the gallery; he looks around and realizes that there is fire throughout the entire house.

He rushes to his sister's room. When he reaches his sister's room, he sees that his mother has collapsed in front of the door.

He quickly goes over to check on her; his mother's condition is very bad, blood is coming from her mouth, and there are visible injuries on her hands and feet."Mummy, what happened to you?" he says in a worried tone. 

Smoke has spread everywhere; it's filled with smoke, and fire can be seen in some places. 

His mother gradually opens her eyes and, seeing her son, says, "Arty, go save your sister." 

The young man says, "No, mother, look at your condition; I can't leave you here."

 "There's no time, Arty," his mother insists forcefully.

 "If that's the case, mother, I will save both of you." Saying this, the young man forcefully opens the door and rushes inside. 

Inside the room, there is a lot of smoke; in some places of the room, fire has already ignited. There is a bed in the room where a girl is lying. 

The girl has black hair, cream-like skin, and he cannot tell about her eyes because they are closed. 

The young man runs to the girl and checks on her. There are no signs of injury on her body, but looking at her face, it was evident that her condition is bad. The young man tries to wake the girl, but she does not wake up.

The young man lifts the girl in his arms and starts to go out of the room. The fire was spreading, and there was smoke as well. The young man takes the girl, holding her with both hands, and carries her out through the room's gate. 

The young man sees his mother near the room's gate; he bends down a bit and tries to lift his mother with his hands. He knows that lifting two people is not easy. 

Nevertheless, he attempts, and he does manage to lift her. His mother also puts in some effort and, with her son's help, stands on her feet.

The young man takes his sister and mother and walks towards the staircase. 

There was smoke all over their house; it was slowly burning down, with the fire engulfing everything. If this continued, the house would be reduced to ashes. 

He carefully steps onto the staircase and descends. Once he reaches the bottom, he starts heading straight towards the main door.

Everyone was reaching the main door when suddenly the floor started to collapse, None of them understood what was happening. 

The first to sense it was the mother, who pushed the young man towards the gate. By the time the young man realized what was happening, it was already too late. 

His sister and he fell near the main door, while their mother fell into the pit created by the collapsed floor. The young man quickly seated his sister by the main door and rushed to the edge of the pit, shouting loudly. 

"MUMMY!!!"

The black pit now looked to him like a black hole that had swallowed his mother. He repeatedly called out to her, but there was no response from the dark pit. All that remained was the sound of fire crackling and silence.

He shouted one more time, "MUMMY!!!" He called out several times, but it remained silent. 

The young man's face had turned pale; his eyes had lost their shine. 

He was just sitting there, as if someone had forcibly pulled his soul away, leaving him feeling completely disconnected.

but He remembered his mother's words: "Save your sister." The moment he thought of this, he stood up and headed towards his sister.

He thinks about it and then gets up and goes towards his sister. He picks his sister up in his arms again and starts walking towards the door. Tears were still dripping from her eyes, but he continued to move forward. 

The young boy takes his sister and steps out of the door. The young man, whose nickname is Arty, goes out from his house and the first thing he sees is the garden.

Arty places his sister under a tree in the garden and then turns back to look at his house, which was burning fiercely.

Suddenly, he hears the sound of someone walking behind him. Turning around sharply, he sees a man who seems to be around 39 or 40 years old, with silver hair and crimson red eyes. He has a handsome face, but it is currently smeared with blood. His clothes are also stained with blood, torn in various places, and he has sustained injuries. 

The man is none other than Arty's father, When Arty sees his father's condition, he is shocked and rushes towards him, asking in a shaky voice, "Father, what happened? Why is there blood?"

His father replies, "I'm okay. Are you alright? And how is Lily? Where is your mother?"Hearing about his mother, Arty falls silent. 

He doesn't know how to tell his father about her; he doesn't have the courage to say anything.

He gathers his courage and says, "The floor of the house broke and mom fell into the pit. I called out several times, but there was no response." "I...I...I couldn't save my mother."

As soon as he hears this, the father's face turns white. It looks as if his soul has been taken out. But he quickly regains his composure and tells his son, "You stay here and take care of your sister".

I'm going to get your mother." He begins to move forward but stops, turns back, and tells his son, "Arthur, please don't wait for us." Saying this, he goes straight inside the house. 

Arthur, who didn't fully understand his father's words, looks at his father's back as he enters the house, with a helpless expression. And by the time he comprehends anything, his father has gone inside. 

A few minutes later, the house, which was still engulfed in flames, suddenly collapses. CRAAACK! BOOM! THUD! Hearing this sound, Arthur's face froze; horror and disbelief were visible in his eyes. 

His lips trembled as if his whole body was trembling, and then he suddenly shouts, "FATHER!!!" Suddenly, everything begins to shatter, as if someone has broken glass.

Everywhere, every person, everything, or rather the entire world starts to shatter. 

"FATHER!!!"

A young man gets up from a hospital-type bed and is shouting,

"Father!"

Hearing his voice, the nurse also comes into the room, and when she sees the young man getting up, she is very shocked and quickly rushes out of the room to call the doctor. 

The doctor enters the room from outside, and when he sees the young man standing, the only word that comes out of his mouth is, 

"MIRACLE!"
