ياب في موسكو - B1

Jaap had been slowly rebuilding his life in Amsterdam, finding happiness as he reconnected with old friends and made new ones. One day, he received an invitation to a party from a former classmate, Tom.

"Hey, Jaap, it's been a while! I'm throwing a get-together this weekend, and I'd love for you to come," Tom said.

"Sounds great, Tom. Count me in," Jaap replied, excited to catch up with old friends and let loose for a night.

The party was a lively event, filled with laughter, conversation, and the comforting presence of familiar faces. Jaap felt at ease, grateful for the opportunity to be surrounded by people who cared about him. He spent the evening reminiscing about old times, swapping stories, and discussing future plans.

Later in the night, Jaap found himself in a quiet corner, deep in conversation with a new acquaintance. The atmosphere was relaxed, and he was enjoying the connection he was making. That's when the stranger offered him cocaine.

"Hey, Jaap, want to try some?" the stranger asked, holding out a small bag of white powder.

Jaap hesitated, memories of Nadya flooding back, causing a tightness in his chest. "I don't know, mate. I've never done it before."

"Come on, it's just a bit of fun," the stranger insisted, oblivious to the turmoil inside Jaap's mind. "Everyone's doing it. You'll be fine."

Jaap considered the offer, torn between the desire for a temporary escape from his grief and the weight of his memories. He knew the risks but found himself unable to resist the temptation.

"Alright, just this once," he said, his voice wavering.

The stranger grinned, passing Jaap a small dose of the drug. Jaap hesitated for a moment, then snorted the cocaine, seeking solace in its numbing effects.

For a brief moment, Jaap felt a rush of euphoria, his worries temporarily pushed aside. But his inexperience and the drug's potency quickly caught up with him. His heart raced, and he began to feel lightheaded and disoriented.

Concerned, a nearby friend noticed his distress and asked, "Jaap, are you okay, mate?"

"I... I don't feel right," Jaap mumbled, his vision blurring.

His friend immediately called for help, but despite their efforts, it was too late. Overwhelmed by the drug's effects, Jaap succumbed to a fatal overdose, a haunting echo of Nadya's own tragic end.

The fateful reunion that was meant to be a celebration of friendship and life had taken a dark turn, leaving Jaap's loved ones to grapple with the heartbreaking consequences of his decision.
