Nine years had passed since Samantha hugged Anis and said, "Love you, dear!" "I love you too, darling," was his reply. Their final word was that. It feels like an endless period of time. It feels as though it was yesterday.

Anyone who ever met Anis, from the time he was born into adulthood, would always describe him in one word: "sweet." As a youngster, he was chosen for a youth fellowship program. He enjoyed painting. He loved to play the guitar. and he was quite good at them. Anis had a history of knee problems that prevented him from participating in outdoor sports.

He had drunk alcohol for the first time in college. It was at the university that Yaba entered his life. He confessed to his girlfriend Samantha about his addiction during the very last year of his university.

After graduating, Anis started his first two-week-long rehab program. Drugs turn nice people into terrible ones. It introduced Anis to heroin users as "friends," and then to heroin itself. Heroin put him in jail.

Anis was freed from prison and went to live with his parents. He was starting to change his life. He was regaining his life and was quite involved with his family. He was making his old friends again, the guys who had always supported him. Anis was doing incredibly well in the small business he was running with his father. In addition to giving him a career, the work he enjoyed helped him forget his unpleasant memories from the past.

Seventeen months into his recuperation, Anis happened to run into a few of his old pals one evening. He believed that he could use drugs one more time. It was a catastrophic decision in the end. Anis took too much alcohol and hit the ground. After his pals picked him up, they got him into a cab and took him to the hospital.

The doctors there just disregarded him. They neglected to move him to the emergency cabin, notify his family, or even acknowledge his potentially fatal condition. He was found two hours later, but it was too late.

The day after, Samantha saw Anis laying in the intensive care unit for the last time. The day was not planned to proceed in that way. Samantha's birthday was that day. That evening, Anis and Samantha were scheduled to attend a resort.

Anis couldn't be saved. Ill news runs apace. Samantha started crying because of Anis's untimely demise. She found it hard to accept that Anis was no longer in her life. Her lovely fantasy of being with Anis for the rest of her life was severely dashed. Anis's premature death caused his family great, irreparable sorrow.

Drug addiction is robbing people of their lives continuously, and there is no time to waste. To stop further tragedies similar to Anis's, we need to give this problem the attention it deserves and take action.

Addiction's curse keeps people from asking for assistance. They are scared to ask their closest friends for assistance since they are unsure of where to turn for it. It is imperative that we are all persuaded that those addicted are not isolated. We must combat the stigma that addicts' relatives and loved ones experience, in addition to the stigma that the individuals themselves experience. This straightforward message, "First, save the life," needs to be spread. It is believed that hope exists wherever life exists.
