Bidding Goodbye

Things took the worst turn for Alvarenga when he heard  Córdoba murmuring “I am dying, I am dying, I am almost gone.” He tried to comfort him and adviced him to get some sleep. After that, he tried to get Córdoba some water but he could not take that in. It seemed something really horrible was around the corner. In no time Córdoba’s body tightened up. Alvarenga knew what it could be, he began to cry and plead his friend to not to leave him. He cried “What am I going to do here alone,” with tears dripping down his eyes. But nothing worked and eventually, Córdoba bid his goodbye to him. It was too painful for Alvarenga to accept it that is why he began to pretend as if everything was fine and his accompanier was still alive. The next day he tried to wake Córdoba and asked him how he slept? He answered his own question by saying “I slept good, and you? Have you had breakfast?”
