"Mommy...!"
I screamed hysterically when I saw my mother's body lying stiffly on the hospital bed. My eyes widened as if I couldn't believe what was happening to me.
My mother said goodbye to go meet someone. Even though I kept having a bad feeling all night, I never thought that the bad feeling that was haunting me would lead me to this terrible sadness.
My grandfather stood behind me, holding my shoulders while comforting me who continued to sob over my mother's lifeless body. I lost my father three years ago and now I also have to lose my mother.
"Mommy don't leave me! I don't want to be alone, don't leave me...!"
"Layla, calm down! I'm still here, don't be afraid. I won't leave you!"
