The whole mansion was filled with music as Arana's small fingers started dancing on the keys of the piano, slowly, softly, and in delight. She was looking like her mother's young self sitting and playing piano, every key she pressed was making everyone present in the mansion heart beat crazily, she grew up watching her mom play and she doesn't even know when she ends up playing herself. Her mom was shocked when she first time saw her play and dad claimed she got this talent from her mom which was enough for any daughter, it was the best compliment one will ever want to hear but soon the talent she got from her mom turned into an unbearable curse.
"See nanny I told you na, Once sisi starts playing she totally forgets about the world. JUST LIKE MOM"
Nanny chuckled as she looks at Ash passing his favorite banana milk she gently patted on his head, Nanny was the fourth person who was actually allowed after other family members to touch or pat Ash, Ash was really stubborn from the start never liked when anyone besides his family tried to touch him. But he made a nanny an exception.
Suddenly the phone rang, Nanny walked towards the phone as Ash took a sip of his banana milk enjoying the music Arana was playing but suddenly it was like everything no matter how loud was the music, every single sound suddenly disappeared as the whole place sinks in the silence.
Suddenly Arana turned around stopping her fingers as she looks at Nanny and Ash, the phone suddenly slipped from Nanna's hand as she looked at Ash and then straight at Arana.
That stare... The way Nanna looked at her, she could never forget that.
The loud thud of the phone as it hit the floor made Arana even more anxious. She can tell just by looking in her eyes that something... something was really wrong.
...
They all ran to the hospital after hearing that their mom and dad end up in a car accident, a drunk truck driver hit them straight in the car. Arana's footsteps stopped in front of the operation theatre, doctor walked out with his head low before nanna could even ask him, he just nods in deny.
He told nanna that the woman was in really critical condition and couldn't survive and her husband is in critical condition too, they still can't say anything before the surgery.
A nurse came running towards Nanna, "Please sign the papers on the counter we have to start the surgery"
Arana turned her head slowly as she looked at Ash, he was crying and sobbing. While she... she just couldn't feel anything... she thought that this was just a nightmare... yea that it will end soon... this can't be true right? She just went and hug him tight without saying a word. She just didn't know what to say or feel anymore.
Both the kids sat in front of the operation theater for hours. She just didn't know why everything around her was feeling like going on in a fast mode while she just couldn't catch up with them and left wondering why is everyone in so rush? What's happening?
Her brother was still crying in her arms while she was just sitting there like a statue without shedding a single tear hugging him. Suddenly Nanna patted on her shoulder, Arana could see her tears coming out of her eyes even though she was trying her best to control.
Nanna gently nods as she asks them to follow her.
She took them to the doctor, Arana could feel the look in the doctor's eyes when he saw them, he squats down as he gives them a small comforting smile and patted on Arana's head, and looking at Ash sobbing hiding behind his sister.
That Doctor sighed,
"You kids have to stay strong okay?" He said in a breaking tone
Ash just teared up after just listening that he couldn't help but imagine the worst. While his cries echo in the room, Arana just stands there completely still...
It wouldn't be a lie if she says it was her who died that day in the car accident...
