A Promise Flouted to a Promise Kept

"I'll never do, trust me" said Alexander to his father.
"Hope you won't", his father said, " And you know all this is wrong and will kill you someday".
"Yeah!" said Alexander.

FOUR MONTHS LATER

"You're not a man, you don't pose manliness, you moron!" said Frederick to Alexander.
"What makes you think so?" puzzled and insulted Alexander asked him.
"You don't smoke, you don't drink, don't take drugs, what can you be said? Anything else?"
"You'll die."
"We haven't, you're making excuses, because you're not a man and thus can't prove it." Fredrick and his friends burst into laughter.
"What? That's what you think? Let me show you!" Alexander takes the cocaine bag and starts inhaling it.
After 5 minutes, his coordination system gets totally disturbed and he feels of being in heaven.
"You guys were right, it feels amazing!" said Alexander.
"And now you're a man!" said Duke.
Then Alexander becomes used to cocaine and enjoys its consumption. He regularly intakes cocaine and gets addicted.

TWO MONTHS LATER

"Doctor, please, do whatever you can, save him!" says Alexander's father to the doctor of a multi specialist hospital.
"The situation is quite complicated, if something serious is done quickly, there may be paralysis or brain hemorrhage and if we leave him this way, he'll die."
"I can't believe, he broke his promise"
"We'll do our best, but can't assure you of our success."

*Operation theatre bulb goes red*

2 hours later

"The body has been totally paralyzed, the nerves have stopped responding, the medulla oblongata has failed and his heart stopped to death."
"What? He was my only son, my only child, he is my life.", shrieks Alexander's mother to the doctor and groans.

* Everyone bursts in tears and begins to sob and mourn his death*

"Curse the one who seduced him to this, resulting in his death" coaxing his mother, with tears rolling throughout her face.

"Jonathan, remember this, forever, you cannot be the way your uncle Alexander was."  says the mother of Alexander's nephew.
"Maybe mumma, he didn't know, how to stay away from these."
"The world is cruel, everyone's keep score and keep your eyes open. You know what you are and you don't need to prove anything to anyone. Just imagine Jonathan, if he hadn't paid attention to what that seducer Duke had said and if your uncle Alexander hadn't come to that bad company, this might never have happened! Stay away from bad company and choose friends very precisely. Don't just come to what they think, be what you want to be, not what they want you to be."
Jonathan says, "Mummy, I love you so much, I don't want you to sob for me anyway, I'd never do such thing to you and dadda."

"Keep your promise!"
"I will."
