"Philly? You okay baby? How are you? You look so sick, aren't you sleeping properly?" Philip was woken up by a very familiar voice, his mom's. Philip opened his eyes and found his mom on the other end of the sofa. "Mom? Is that really you?" Philip said while he cried uncontrollably. "Of course it's me silly. Who do you think it is? Were you expecting someone else?" "No. But you died." "I know but the memories you're tightly holding on to is making me unable to leave." "But how can I not do that?" "I know it's hard but it's every parents' wish to see their child live happily and healthy." "But what if the sole reason for their living are gone?" "My baby people come and go, that's the nature's law. We can't change it but we can change the way we live after them. Do you really think I will be happy if I see you in this condition because of me." "But if I let you go then I won't be able to live." "Find someone that you will cherish forever. And I'm not saying that you have to totally let go of me but just don't be so obsessed that you can't even sleep." "Mom. After you went away I have never once been able to love someone fully because I kept on feeling that I might lose them too." "Well you can't do anything about it baby just live in the moment with no baggage. Okay? Promise me." "But I can't let go of you, not now." "You have to."
"But why? Why do I have to let go of you?" "In order for you to live a happy life you must let go of me. Don't worry we will meet in the afterlife baby. Mommy will be waiting for you." "Can I hug you just this once." "Of course you can dear." Philip then tightly hugged his mom with tears endlessly streaming down his face. Then when he opened his eyes, he saw Kelly looking at him with a concerned look and wiping his tears with her palms. "Phil? You okay?" Philip rose up and then quickly hid his face. "Yeah I just had a very emotional dream." "You wanna talk about it?" "Maybe next time." "Okay. Anyways you hungry?" "Yep actually I'm starving." "Yeah I know. You must be really hungry after taking care of us. It's tiresome isn't it?" "Absolutely. I am tired to my bones." "Then you can lay down while I will make some hot chocolate for you. And the food must be on its way." "Sweet. What ya order?" "Some Chinese takeout. Is that okay or you wanna order something else?" "Nah it's fine. How's your hangover?" "The lemon did miracles and so did you so I am pretty much good." "You kept falling asleep while sucking on a lemon." "Well you can't blame me that I am both hungover and sleepy." "I should've taken a picture."
"And what? Die from my hands?" "Pssh...as if you can kill me." "Not to brag but as a writer I have sometimes wanted to write a crime fiction and for that, I have done a shit load of research which means I am armed in knowing how to murder and dispose off your body without a soul knowing about it." "Chill. I was just kidding." "I know that's why I didn't add any poison in your hot chocolate. Here ya go." Kelly passed the hot chocolate to Philip who looked at her suspiciously. "You sure you didn't add anything?" "Oh I remember. I added a ton load of love and kisses in it." "Well then even if it contains poison I shall drink it." "And I shall appreciate it." The two of them broke into a light laughter. "Wow I just realized how much I missed this." Philip said while taking a sip. "This what?" "Humor that only the two of us understand. Saying creepy things without being judged. And you taking care of me." "I did that? When?" "You don't remember?" "Nah." "I know you remember but you're just pretending not to know." "Maybe." "So what's your plan now?" "I have nothing to do today so I will just watch a movie and eat." "Then give me the honor to join you." "You're allowed my loyal servant." "Hey servant is too much." "At least I had the courtesy to add loyal so be grateful." "Okay okay. Thank you so much my lady." "What about Chase?" "Well he won't wake up till tomorrow so it's only you and me I guess." "Down for a horror movie?" "Sure." "Actually no, I haven't watched this serial killer documentary so let's watch that." "I'm down for anything." "Well then let's get you changed." "You have extra clothes?" "Nope I was going to say that you should grab some clothes for you and Chase and by that time the food will reach here." "Okay then I will be back in 30 minutes." "I'll be waiting."
Philip was back with the extra clothes and by the time he entered the place he saw that the food was on the table but Kelly was nowhere in sight. He went to look for her in her room but didn't find her there either so he just went to give Chase the extra clothes. That's when he witnessed something that he shouldn't have. He saw Kelly and Chase in a tight embrace. At first Philip was heartbroken thinking that they were hugging each other after falling in love but when he looked carefully he saw that the two of them were consoling each other by hugging and they were even crying.
