2 Chapter 2 (1/2)
”DAMON!”
”DAMON!”
”WAKE UP NOW!”
”YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE!”
Loud calls came from the other side of my room.
”So it is true.” I whispered. After that curtain of light disappeared, I immediately found myself looking at the vague image of my room from ages ago.
”HAHAHAHA!” I laughed as loud as I could until tears were freely falling down my face.
”Damon?” a concerned voice sounded.
”BANG!”
The door flew open and I found myself embracing the familiar figure of my mother. She was a thin middle aged lady and shared vast similarities to my features. I'm finally home, I thought and continued to cry in my mother's arms.
”What's wrong, Damon? Did those boys bully you again? Tell me what they did and I'll teach them all a lesson.” my mother offered a brave front. I knew of her difficulties. She can't even catch a fly with how weak her body was due to malnutrition.
”Nothing, mother. I'm just happy to see you.” I replied.
”You sweet child. You saw me last just hours ago.” She smiled and returned my embrace.
”You should go now, Damon or you'll gonna be late for the entrance exam.” my mother advised.
”Okay, mom. I love you.” I replied and kissed my mother's cheeks.
”I love you too, Damon.” she smiled at me while she said these words.
”Hmmm... What to do now?” I asked myself after i locked the door of my room. I chose to go back at this time because this was the day where my life had changed completely. Time to change the past, I thought and faced the new day with a positive start.
”I'm going to school, father.” I bade my goodbyes to an emaciated man who lied on the bed. He was immovable and could hardly even move his head around.
Only his eyeballs roamed freely from their sockets to let me know that he heard me clear enough. I dropped a kiss on his forehead before leaving him alone in his room.
