Last Hope
Once there were three friends, best friends, friends that will do everything to protect their friendship,
Ahmed, Benjamin and Mo (Mohammed) have travelled lots of places, met lots of people, they were men with dreams, but they didn’t know what they were searching for, was it Fun? Pleasure? Desires? Their souls were empty….
Ahmed was a very funny boy never too serious, Always messing around with people (‘’A party boy”) Mo was a very strong man, always ready for a fight, Always seeking the danger and Benjamin was a friendly boy, he was the more wise one , he was searching for something, a seeker without knowing were too seek.
So one day Ahmed and Mo were making jokes about “yo Momma” while they were walking on the streets.
Mo: “yo momma is sooo fat, that when she goes to the zoo she will get a group discount!”
Ahmed: “Well Yo mama is so lazy she's got a remote control just to operate her remote!”
Mo:”how tha hell do you know that?”
Benjamin:” Man you guys are funny, haha”
On their way there was a girl passing by,
Ahmed saw her and said “uuuh Girl you are soo hot, you almost burned my eyes!”
Girl *blushed* “oooh realy??”
Ahmed: “yeah, you melted my frozen heart “
Girl *blushed*
Ahmed: “uhmm so what you gonna do tonight? “
Girl: “uhmm maybe going to that new club that just opened”
Ahmed: “Oh that one yeah it’s nice there, well you know what,
give me your number so that I can call you ? “
Girl: * blushed again* “uhmm oke”
Ahmed: “cool, thanks babe”
So Ahmed took her number and was very happy,
Mo and Benjamin were surprised that he could get her number that fast.
Mo:”wow, Ahmed, brother you are tha man!”
Ahmed: *acting cool*” I know”
Mo:”Hahah you playa, now let’s go to my house“
they were walking towards mo’s house when they saw the lil sister of Mo talking with her school friends outside, mo was angry when he saw her, Ahmed and that girl came into his mind, so he walked towards her and gave her a smack on her face, she felt and hit her head on the ground,
Mo: “Didn’t I tell you to not go outside!!”
she was crying while blood were dropping on her new clothes.
Mo: “Now Get Tha Hell out of here, before I break your nose!”
Benjamin and Ahmed felt sorry for her,
Benjamin:”Look at what you did, you could’ve said it kinder Mo!”
Ahmed: “Poor girl”
Mo: “Mind your own business would ya? “
he felt a lil sorry …”the world is a filthy place for her”
suddenly someone shouted “Heeey why did you hit her!!!”
Mo was angry when he saw that the one who was shouting was an unknown man,
Mo: “who that **** are you?”
“It doesn’t concern you who I am, WHY DID YOU HIT HER?” was the reply,
so Mo probably taught it was her boyfriend , so he grabbed a big stone and threw it towards the man
,the stone hit his forehead and he felt on the ground , then Mo moved towards him and gave him a kick on his face afterwards.
But the man didn’t move anymore, there was blood coming from his head all over…..he was dead….
Ahmed:”WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!”
Mo was scared this wasn’t his intention, he didn’t want to kill him...
Suddenly they heard loud noises…coming closer and closer….it was the sirene
Ahmed: “OMG boys it’s the police! We gotta run man...we gotta run”
But Mo was frozen….frozen in fear, he killed a person with his own bare hands.
Benjamin couldn’t do anything either he was frozen as well, he saw death before his eyes,
He saw that a life could be taken away in a split second…
The police arrived at that place while in the meanwhile a lot of people gathered around
they heard someone shouting “TEACHER….TEACHER!!!!”
Mo looked around and saw that it was his own lil sister crying next to the dead body of the man.
Mo was in despair ….it wasn’t her boyfriend? ……it was her …teacher?
The police took the boys in the car to move them to the Bureau, while they leave the place….Screams fading away….Dreams fading Away….Hope fading away....
…The shock was getting more worse when they heard that they have to go to prison, The judge has decided that Mo has to serve 15 years for murder, and Ahmed and Benjamin 5 years as they were proved by weak evidence that they too took part of the crime…..
While entering the prison….
Ahmed was shaking, he was afraid “I didn’t do anything, why do I have to go through all of this!”
Mo heard this and he got upset, his own ignorance destroyed the life of these two innocent boys, his friends…
When they entered the prison it was chaos all over, cause someone was just murdered there.
Benjamin Panicked, he couldn’t breathe, he was shaking.
Ahmed was crying when he entered his cell, Mo saw that and said “Ahmed ,don’t worry I will protect you guys for ever, I WILL PROMISE YOU……and….I ….am sorry…”
Their first night they couldn’t get sleep, panic and chaos, they were drowning deeper in darkness, they were hopeless.
Benjamin was frozen in time, no hope, No one to save him, his dreams were crushed” why why why ….why must I always suffer?....why do I live?......Why did I born in this awful world?
The night that looked like it was never gonna end… has passed.
Its breakfast and the boys were walking in the eating hall, they saw that the people were separated in “Gangs”, so suddenly a man came towards them and on purposely crashed with Ahmed
Man:” **** Watch tha hell out were you walking boy!”
Ahmed: “S….Sorry”
Man: “Oh Wait a minute, I never seen you guys here, who are you, where are you from?”
Ahmed: “we …are..new…We don’t want any trouble”
Man: “now this pisses me off, who said something about making trouble!?”
Ahmed became scared “I….I... Don’t want any troubles”
Man: “Now you said it again!” “Now you arab, listen up!”
Mo came and pushed the man away.
Mo:” What tha **** is going on?” “Leave us alone before something bad happens!”
Man:”uuuh the newbie is talking tough ha ““Why you little…!”
The man was just gonna punch Mo but he saw that a group of guards were watching them and ready to take action when there was a fight.
Man:*whispered*”We’ll meet again bigshot”
Mo: “Anytime, Anywhere“
That man went back to his gang and was whispering something to a person then he sat down…
Mo:”Are you all right Ahmed? Don’t forget my promise I will give my life for you guys”
Ahmed:”t… thank you bro“
It’s the second Night and Benjamin keeps drowning in his thoughts… stuck between four walls
Getting closer and closer, ”why, why god why?’’
“Why do I have to suffer?....I never did something bad, all I wanted was happiness..”
it went for days, he didn’t sleep, he didn’t eat and drink much…he was falling into a deep empty hole…he was lost.
After a time when they thought that it couldn’t get worse than they are now….
Mo went to the shower , he noticed that people were watching him but he didn’t care so after his shower , he saw that the room was empty but didn’t mind so he dressed himself and when he turned around he saw that same man standing in front of him ” so here we are, all alone”
Mo: “What tha **** do you want?”
Man: “I…. just don’t like your kind”
The man took a strange hand made knife out of his pocket, and started to swing with it but Mo dodged it and he gave him a punch on his face, the man felt on the ground and the knife felt, Mo kicked the knife a way and started beating up this man…but then…he stopped cause he was surrounded by men, ‘’ so this is the arab you was talking about pete?”
Pete:”Arghh….uh…y...es”
they all attacked Mo together and started beating him heavily and stabbing him with knifes,
Mo tried to defend himself but….. he didn’t have a chance…..
He was brutaly slaughtered by racist men, who were full of evil, they had no mercy at all….
When Ahmed and Benjamin entered the shower room and saw that there was blood all over the place and when they tried to look where that blood was going ,
They saw Mo hanging on the wall with cuts everywhere in his body, the blood was still dropping on the floor,
His face was so heavily beaten that he almost wasn’t recognized….
Benjamin:”NO this cant be happening! “
Ahmed:”MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OO OOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Their problems didn’t seem to stop….their were overwhelmed with darkness and no one to save them…..
Hours became Days….Days became weeks…..Weeks became months…
But Ahmed and Benjamin after years of struggle and miseries, years of cries, years of darkness, years of loneliness…They are finally free…
‘’Good bye” were their last words went they left.
Ahmed: “ooooh it feels sooo good to be finally free!“
Benjamin:” yeah..finally”
Ahmed: “let’s go eat...It’s been a while since we ate something decent bro!”
Benjamin: “good idea I want a juicy Big Mac!!”
Ahmed:” haha nice”
So they went to the nearest restaurant but on their way they saw an old man on the ground, who was very injured…there was blood all over his clothes.
The man was still conscious but was seriously injured.
“CALL THE AMBULANCE!!” said Benjamin, so Ahmed went to get help.
Benjamin asked the man with a shaking voice …W…What…. happened??
Benjamin was afraid, he remembered the scene from 5 years ago….he remembered that man, that face, he remembered Mo….
Suddenly the man uttered some words with a very weak voice,”don’t let him get you!”
“He is our enemy”, “don’t fall into his traps”, “Trust him”, “Forgive”, “let it be “, “trust your heart”,
“Trust Him”, “this is not were you belong”,”this is not your home”, “what you are searching for is not here”, “what you are searching for….is…not….here”, “He is Alone “, “He is Waiting for you”,”He is waiting for us”, “Time is running out”, “Surrender yourself before it’s too late,”
“THERE IS NO GOD…..but ……H…I…M……..”
The Man died while he said his final words, His Final breath, His Final Testimony…
Benjamin was in Tears, he was shocked, in trance, “What did this man mean?”
“What you are searching for is not here” kept flashing in his mind.
When he saw the face of that man, his soul began to beat, this …is… it!
“This is the smile, this is the face I was searching for. This man has found what I was deeply searching for…”
“The Ambulance has come” said Ahmed when he arrived at that place.
He was shocked when he saw Benjamin in full Tears, Ahmed never saw him like this before.
“Are you All right Bro “He asked, But Benjamin didn’t hear he was in trance, the words, the face just kept flashing before his eyes…the words that kept replying in his head,
The words that will change his life Forever……
