I woke up, startled by the knocks from my bedroom door.
I find myself unable to recall anything, so why do I feel this unexplainable heart-wrenching pain, like I lost a loved one.
Like I lost someone very important.
I heard my mom's voice as she knocked on my door.
"You will be late for school! You better wake up now Maru, it's past 6 a.m."
I shut down the computer and opened my door with tears brimming in my eyes.
I hugged my mom and said, "I missed you, Mom." She hugged me back without any questions.
"Did you break up with a boyfriend?" she asked as she tried to comfort me with her hug.
We had breakfast, my dad giving me the stares like he wanted to ask why I looked so sad but Mom held his hand as if to tell him not to ask anything.
I was with my family, my siblings eating wholeheartedly. They have my appetite, this would have made me smile at any other time.
