“My dear friend, Nom, please forgive me for my sins. It was my wrongdoing that ruined your business…”

Name was surprised to hear that. He looked at the nearby bed, his friend Lott had tears in his eyes. Lott sobbed his tears, he had few awkward expressions as if he wanted to continue. That hospital room had only two beds, with those two patients. Lott continued,

“I know, we will not escape from this tragic situation, you have a heart attack and I have the strongest poison in the world in my blood. Nom! Let my sins come out now. I even stole the project file of your company and handed it over to your competitors.

Lott looked at his close friend again and lamented his misdeeds. The name remained silent.

“Oh God! I want to admit how bad I was! I broke our bond of friendship and put you through all the painful events from bankruptcy to divorce.”

Name shook his head in a shocking style. Lott couldn’t meet his eyes and said in a depressing tone.

“Your wife was having an affair with me and I forced her to hurt you, divorce you and insult you in public. Please forgive me, I was a demon. I did all this just because I was jealous of you. You were always wiser and better. Now, in these last moments of our life or at least of mine, I recognize all my crimes”.

Name still hadn’t uttered a single word. She was looking at the spider web on the wall and a strong expression of disbelief on her face. Lott got frustrated,

“For God’s sake, answer me. I’m your culprit, just say a word, abuse me but please say something. Oh, I can’t take it anymore, I’m already on my deathbed. Nom! I know I’m a Devil I even hired criminals to kidnap your only son, and you had to pay them the ransom.I thought I had won.

A doctor, along with a nurse, came in and got a checkup.

“Mr. Nom! You are lucky to have survived the worst heart attack. Be happy.” The doctor looked at Lott with a kind of “farewell message in his eyes” and said nothing.

Departing, Lott gathered his efforts for the last time.

“Did you see that terrifying look in his eyes? He’s sure I’m not going to survive. Thank God! You will, and that’s compensation I’m leaving this world with. Goodbye, my friend Nom! Forgive me if I can and I know you won’t talk to a demon like me.” Lott cried again and closed his eyes.

Name smiled for the first time and said in a satisfying tone,

“Okay my friend. I was the one who poisoned you, so have a safe trip to hell. Goodbye!”
