Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Hopes, crashed and doubts

We attended his funeral for 7 days, while hoping it was just a bad dream.

But when we woke up and saw that we were wearing all black in Mr Tan's house and his wife preparing breakfast, we shed a tear together.

Our parents knows our situation and entrusted us to his wife, even though the fact that we all stayed in her house is a burden, we all know that she will be lonely in there.

It was a tragic moment to us as we lost 5 of our most precious people in our class while I lost 6 precious people in my life.

We thought we wont have to experience it again but we were wrong, everybody has to die someday.

But that was cruel from the fact that we just reunited.

My thoughts continues,

'God is cruel, I thought that December 25 is supposed to be a happy Christmas and yet..'

Tears flow down my cheeks.

At the final day of the funeral, one of us finally got the courage to spoke up and ask his wife how he died.

We all were wondering about it but couldn't bare to know the truth and she said,

"He got a car accident. The people whom hit him ran away but they got caught a few days ago."

We all were frustrated but we all know that his wife has been taking in pretty hard, even though we want to punch them really hard, but we know that it won't even bring Mr Tan back anymore.

There is nothing we can do to help him, we all just cry.

The day soon ended and we said our goodbyes.

I went back to my house and lied on my bed thinking about the events that happened.

The only thing that troubles me a lot was Mr Tan's laughter, it's as if he knows what's going to happen.

But it is impossible right?

I sent a text message to the group where Mr Tan was a admin and ask if anybody knows what his laughter about.

There was a total silence and it was to be expected.

By now everybody must be thinking about it or even shut themselves in their room and cry out of their lungs.

But then, soon I got replys and I message,

"How about we go ask his wife? We could at least visit and ask her about it. That way, she can't be lonely too."

We decided to go tomorrow.

The day soon came and we visited her and ask her the question, she replied ,

"To be honest, that is my first time seeing him laugh like that, I don't really know what is his laughter about."

"Ok... How about let's just forget it and play some poker games together?"

I said as I trying to change the subject.

The day ended just like that, Hana and Hui Xing went home while I am the only one walking around the area thinking,

" Now I know why everybody quit, we have to face it, the past is the past. Well at least both of them together with Bedro and Javier is still in the group."
