Four years have passed from the day he had lost his Best-Friend. Now the two friends didn't even talk to each other. They behaved as if they were each other's enemies. Essel was now in 8th Standard, with his new group friends, the studious ones. Essel has developed a new hobby, a new passion for himself, Football (Soccer). All he would do if not studying, or helping his Mom or Dad in some work, was playing or watching Football. Every Evening Essel along with his friends would go and play Football in the nearby Park, particularly named 'The Moon-light Park". He would play Football at it's best, after all it was the only game he liked a lot. This was a routine, and was being followed by them everyday.

Everything was going fine, but then, one day, Essel saw his old friend Jim along with his highly notorious and mischievous gang. Essel thought it to be a coincidence and thought it would not be happening again, But his thought was not true. They now became the frequent visitors of the park, but still it was of no harm for Essel or his friends, until and unless they interact with them. And as expected nothing happened.

But the respite was short lived. Essel was playing with his friends and he took a very good shot which landed at the wrong place. The Ball had hit one of the friends of Jim. Now, it was time to take the ball from them and apologize for the mistake. Depp, one of Essel's friend went on for the same, he approached them and apologized. But as soon as he could ask for the ball, one of the guy slapped him tightly, this guy was none other than Jim. Essel couldn't bear such a thing happening to his friend. He also approached the group.

Essel (angrily) - What are you doing Dude? He apologized you, what's the need to be so harsh?
Jim -                  Thats my wish, i would slap anyone if i would like too. Today it was his turn to get a slap from me. You Better stay from making any argument or i would beat you up too. Piss Off.

And the gang started to laugh at Essel. Essel could listen no more, he had controlled his anger for long now. Now it was time for Jim to pay for his deeds. Before anything could happen, Essel SLAPPED Jim very tightly. Jim was Dumbstruck as to how this has happened to him.

Essel (pointing towards his friend) - Leave him. I said leave him (Essel Shouts).

The group of Jim's friend left Depp, and Depp left the park crying for his Mom. Jim's friends also ran away avoiding to get involved in any argument or fight. Jim was standing as a statue in front of Essel. Essel now wanted to leave too as he wanted no fight. He turned away and as soon as he started walking, something hard had hit Essel's back. He turned around and what he saw was Jim having big stone in each of his hand. Essel looked for his friends for some help, but no one could be seen. Essel understood that this time it was only He and Jim. He had to handle this alone.

Before Essel could think of a plan, Jim approached and gave a tight punch on his face. He fell down.

Jim -    Now you understood Essel, What happens when some slaps me. What had you thought, that you would run away easily. You have to pay for the slap, Essel. This isn't done.
Essel - Are you done saying your speech? I thought you would have changed after so many years but u r the same or should i say even worse. You are not the one who was once my friend. (shouts) And I don't like to be beaten up by someone who is not my friend.

Saying this, Essel kicks Jim's Butt very hard. At the same instant he stands up, ready for a duel between the two Best friends of the time.

They both were seeing each other and as they approached each other. They heard people screaming and shouting. Some people were running towards the park exit shouting.
Man 1 - Run, Run a missile is going to hit this place.
Man 2 - There's a bomb i guess.
Man 3 - It's something like a ball of fire.
Man 1 - Keep running guys, we need to save our lives other than research on that thing.

Essel and Jim were both freaked out too. But before they could take any action, this ball of fire had hit the ground, just in front of both. Essel saw the ball striking the ground and then there was complete darkness in front of him. He and Jim were left unconscious, The intensity of the blast was so much that both Essel and Jim were blown away with it, falling apart, meters away from each other.
