Chapter Twenty-Eight: Farewell and Future Plans

The Last Day for Grigor in Prison

Days and weeks passed, and the day Grigor had long awaited finally arrived—the day of his release from prison. For Grigor, this day marked the end of an era and the beginning of something new. But he knew that Aboud still had a long journey ahead within those prison walls.

Grigor (in a calm and serious tone):
"Today is my day, Aboud. But this is not a final farewell. You will get out of here one day, and you will be stronger than you were before."

Aboud (with a voice full of mixed emotions):
"You're leaving me here, Grigor, but I’m grateful for everything you’ve taught me. I don’t know how I’ll get through these days without you."

Grigor smiled faintly and gave Aboud a reassuring look.

Grigor (with a calm but confident tone):
"Aboud, the road ahead of you won’t be easy, but I know you can face it. You've learned a lot during this time, and I’m confident that you’ll be able to use all of it to change your life."

Aboud couldn’t hide his emotions. He had grown close to Grigor during those years in prison, and although the criminal world Grigor introduced him to was dangerous and unfamiliar, Grigor had become a mentor and a brother to him.

Aboud (in a low voice):
"And what about you? What will you do now?"

Grigor (smiling):
"I have big plans, Aboud. I’ll go back to Germany and rebuild my life. It won’t be easy, but I always find my way. As for you, I want you to remember something important."

Grigor paused for a moment, looking at Aboud with firm and serious eyes.

Grigor (in a low and serious tone):
"A year from now, someone will visit you. This person will give you the instructions you need to leave prison without being deported to Syria. I have friends and partners outside, and they’ll take care of everything. All you need to do is be ready."

Aboud (in astonishment):
"Someone? Who? How will I know them?"

Grigor (mysteriously):
"I won’t tell you everything now, but this person is trustworthy. When they come, you’ll know. Just make sure you’re prepared when the time comes."

Grigor then placed his hand on Aboud’s shoulder.

Grigor (in a deep voice):
"Aboud, I’ve lived a life full of risks, and it taught me that the world isn’t kind. You need to be smart and know how to handle people. You’ll need to be physically strong, but the most important thing is to be strong in your mind. Always remember, the digital world is your key."

Grigor’s final words carried great meaning for Aboud. He had learned so much from Grigor, not just about programming and hacking, but about how to survive in a harsh, unforgiving world.

Aboud (with a voice filled with gratitude):
"Thank you, Grigor. Thank you for everything."

Grigor smiled one last time, then turned and walked out of the cell, leaving Aboud behind to face an uncertain future—one full of opportunities, but also challenges.

After Grigor’s departure, Aboud sat in the corner of the cell, reflecting on everything he had experienced during his years with Grigor. He didn’t have many friends in prison, and Grigor was the only person who had helped him see life from a different perspective.

Aboud (thinking silently):
"Grigor taught me so much... but now I need to find my own way."

Days passed slowly after Grigor left. Aboud kept up with his physical training to maintain his strength and read more books on programming and hacking whenever he could get his hands on something new. He knew Grigor wasn’t lying about the plan, but he had to wait, and waiting was the hardest part.

Months went by, and with each passing day, Aboud felt the clock ticking. Each day brought him closer to the day Grigor had promised. But Aboud knew that he had to be ready for anything.

He continued to keep himself physically and mentally sharp, feeling that his mind was growing stronger day by day. He knew that his chance to escape and start anew wouldn’t come easily, but he was prepared to do whatever it took to achieve his freedom.
