A call from my dad

It was a cold January, new year began. Our 2nd anniversary arrived, It was 3rd January.

3 days after our 2nd anniversary I got a called from my father. I know from his voice he's trying very hard to say.

"Dad do you have a great news? I have many things to tell you"

"You need to come home" At first I thought he missed me so much that he just said it

"Of course I'll be home at the end of the year. Now it's only January so don't miss me too much" I said while laughing

"You have to come home......now"

"Why? Something wrong?"

There's a moment of silence. I thought he was trying to prank me.

"Dad do you miss..." Before I can finished,

"Your mom is dead"

I paused for a moment. My aunt take the call and she said that my mom just passed away. It was around 9:00 pm. I know this isn't a joke because she was sick for months.

There was a silence from my side while my aunt was trying to connect to me .

"You mom is dead, take a ticked right now" she said

Then I break down and scream because my world collapsed. It was hard to breathe. My aunt was consoling me through the phone. But it's like I don't hear a single word. Just the sound of my heart broken into pieces, the sound of my world collapsing.

After a while Marco ran to me. My aunt had informed him about it. I was lying on the floor not knowing what to do. He knows my apartment password so I don't have to bother opening the door for him.

He lift me up in his arm and hugged me. I couldn't cry anymore. Everything just go blank. I have a breathing problem. I passed out and the moment I opened my eyes I was lying on the hospital bed.

I went home as soon as a I can. My home was 5 hours flight from Melbourne. Marc couldn't accompanied me as he was having exam the next day.

When I saw my mom lying on the coffin. I go numb. I couldn't cry, I couldn't talk, I just stand still untill someone makes me sit.

It hurts so much but I don't know how much. I don't know how I feel. It's a feeling I could never explained.

How do you feel when you lost someone you loved so much ? If you haven't then loved them like there's no more tomorrow. Spend time with them. The feeling of regret will be stronger than you thought.

We don't cherish the time we have. When it is past, we can no longer have it back.

To all the people you loved, give them hug, tell them you loved them , tell them they're are beautiful, tell them their good sides, make them smile. Give them time, that's one of the most important.
