I went to Anie's funeral
the cries and screams flooded my mind with the old memories I wanted to overcome but couldn't.
As 5 years before,
My mom passed away, someone murdered her.
the screams and cries, I remember it very clearly to this day.
"𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘚𝘶𝘻𝘶𝘬𝘪? 𝘪𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘪𝘵? someone said from behind
"Ah yes,I am" saying hesitantly
"𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭, 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘺"
It was her mother, her eyes were tired of constantly dropping tears but she was trying her best not to show it.
"I am really sorry for what happened, if only I could have saved her then-"
"𝘕𝘰, 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘶𝘭𝘵, 𝘯𝘰 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘵𝘦"
she went away to meet the other visitors.
I was watching her she was acting all strong but broke inside, I wanted to cry seeing her like that. as I was watching her, someone came to me from behind-
"𝙸𝚝 𝚖𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚋𝚎 𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚍 𝚘𝚗 𝚑𝚎𝚛"
I looked behind to see who was the person.
It was amai
"yeah" I said
"𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚎 𝚖𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚋𝚎 𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚜𝚊𝚍 𝚝𝚘 𝚜𝚎𝚎 𝚞𝚜 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚌𝚛𝚢𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜"
I didn't said anything
Suddenly my phone started to buzz
"hm? hello?"
"𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙤,𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙪𝙯𝙪𝙠𝙞 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜?"
"yeah?"
"𝙨𝙞𝙧, 𝙬𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙢"
"who is this tho?"
"𝙬𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙚"
"police?!"
as he continued talking, my stomach dropped, it was as if my whole life crumbled, the phone slipped through my hand, amai realized from my face expression that something happened.
I rushed straight to my house without even taking a step slow, Amai was following me. The moment I reached, cops were investigating, I rushed to the house with 2 cops following me.
"FATHER?! FATHER?!!!!!!" I was screaming hoping to get a response
"This can't be real, This can't be real, this can't be real, THIS CAN'T BE REAL, DAMN IT!!
the moment I reached my father's bedroom my father was there,
" Father? I am home" i said without looking at the bed.
as I glanced towards my father.
my whole mind felt as heavy as if 100kgs have been put upon it.
He was drenched in blood, full of bruises as if he was being tortured.
I rushed to him, hugging him tightly
"HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?! FATHER OPEN YOUR EYES, PLEASE DON'T JOKE, PLEASE TALK TO ME, YOU WERE SAYING THAT WE SHOULD GO ON A BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT TO SEE THE MATCH, RIGHT?! YES LET'S GO PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYES"
I was holding his hand but the moment they slipped through my hand, I felt completely hopeless.
The cops pulled me away, trying to 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘮 𝘮𝘦 down.
and I blacked out.
the moment I opened my eyes I was in the hospital.
Amai was sitting next to me.
"𝘚𝘶𝘻𝘶𝘬𝘪? 𝘚𝘜𝘡𝘜𝘒𝘐?! 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘴𝘰 𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘰𝘬𝘦 𝘶𝘱! "
I jst kept staring at the ceiling, blankly.
2 cops came to me and asked some questions to me.
and after I was discharged I went home.
*𝙛𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙝 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠*
*𝙷𝚎𝚢! 𝚜𝚞𝚣𝚞𝚔𝚒 𝚕𝚎𝚝'𝚜 𝚐𝚘 𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚋𝚊𝚜𝚔𝚎𝚝𝚋𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚖𝚊𝚝𝚌𝚑"
"huh no, I don't wanna go with you" I said to my dad
"𝚑𝚎𝚑𝚎 𝚍𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚋𝚎 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚜𝚘𝚗"
if only I had said yes to him. I said to myself crying.
suddenly my phone buzzed, when I glanced toward it a notification was there
"want to know? someone's death date? come here and we will tell you"
"huh"?
