”Mom!”I was shouting to find mum in the empty rooms of our house. I couldn't find her. I fell asleep myself while looking after her because I didn't get sleep for many nights. The sound of screaming,crying of my mother wasn't easy for a 8 year old to absorb. I looked at the balcony of her room again to see if she is there or not.
I picked up the phone to call dad when suddenly I heard the song.....
Mom was singing, the song she used to sing while brushing my hair when I was small, when I was upset about something, she used to sing me the song to make my anger go away. This song how can I forget this song.
”Mum!...” My voice cracked.
I started running to the roof. Roof what's she doing on the roof. My heart was telling me she will be fine, my mom is mentally ill but she loves me right. She will never leave me alone.....
Never...
When I reached the roof I saw mum was standing on the clif.I tried to say 'Mom' but nothing came out of my mouth only a whisper.
Mum did look behind at me, she was smiling like she will be finally free. I didn't see the pain I used to see in her eyes that moment.
”Mum...” I tried to reach her forwarding my hands towards her but she was gone....
”MUM!!” I screamed and woke up from my nightmare. The same dream again and again making me wake up from my sleep every morning. I turned off the alarm clock and got down from the bed. Today I have to go to the little girl's house to meet her.
Daniel wanted to come with me as that place is totally unknown to me. But I told him not to because I'm not a kid after all. He worries too much anyway. Though I told him if I sense any danger I'll come back as soon as possible.
After freshening up, I got ready and came to my dining room. Mark was already waiting for me there. I gave him a pat and gave him his food. Mark is my dog. I found him beside a road one year ago. He had a collar with the name Mark on it so I decided to call him that. Besides I'm a huge dog lover so I couldn't leave him there. Now I got no one waiting for me at home except Mark. Our little family is the reason I wanna live now.
