Where is father?

On a sunny day, the birds chirping and the leaves falling to the ground.

"another normal day." i head to get breakfast. After some time, i went to my desk to write some novels. As I was writing on my desk in my room, I started to wonder where my father is. He had gone for work. Yet he hasn't come back since yesterday...

Worried, i went downstairs to ask my mother, Rakemi. A household wife. She was currently downstairs preparing lunch.

"Mom! Where is father?" I asked her as I was on the stairs holding the rails.

" I don't know, but I'm sure he will be back soon!" She told me. "You have been telling me this since yesterday! Yet he hasn't come back." I replied to her. "Maybe he just has a night shift." She replied.

"A night shift is where he comes back in midnight or morning! It's the afternoon!" I whined.

"Let's not worry. I am certain he is just late. Perhaps he had a drink at some sort of bar because of problems and slept in his friend's house." she turned around, preparing bacon for lunch. I answered,

"okay." I sat down on the chair waiting for her to finish preparing lunch. We chattered about random things as she was preparing lunch. Fast-forward after eating, My mother left to buy grocery for dinner. She stated to me that she will be back at 5pm. It was 2pm and i was washing the dishes. I heard knocking sounds come from the door. Curious, I cleansed my hands and head over to the door to answer. A police was standing before me.

"Hello.. How may i help you?" I asked… As i was asking, my mind thought of various things. 'Please don't tell me it's about father….', 'what if my mother got into an accident?' 'Why would the police be here?', 'did my dad get arrested for some reason?'.

"Are you Avery Herzi?" The police asked me. I answered yes. My eyes widened as i stood there, shocked. I immediately went running to the hospital, crying. I entered the hospital which... my father was in... Crying while i was sitting, a doctor approached me... He asked me the same thing.

"Are you Avery Herzi?"

I then again told them yes… only to be answered..

" we are very sorry for your loss… But, your father didn't make it. We tried everything We could." that…. my eyes turned dark.. It darkened and darkened. I went home… My mother was already there.. crying. It seems she had already found out..i hugged her to comfort her. It went on for days.. Depressed. Again fast-forward, we got over it. I heard a knocking coming from the door. I answered only to see the landlord. The landlord told us that our rent was due. My father was working and paying for the rent. However, since he was gone, we didn't have enough to pay the rent. My mother came downstairs to ask who is there. She talked with the landlord. Unfortunately, it was not possible to delay the pay. So we had to move to a new house.

"If only father was here..." i mumbled. The landlord told us that we needed to move the next day.

"Avery. Pack your stuff. We need to move tommorow in the afternoon." My mother told me.

"What!?? Have you even found a house we could live in-"

"I knew this would happen eventually so i already bought a cheaper house. It's old though. That's the problem. But we could still fix it! And clean."My mother interrupted me. advanced upstairs to pack my stuff. "i'll just throw the stuff i don't need away. Or donate, recycle, etch." I said as i was packing my stuff in my room. The next day, i woke up. I head downstairs and see that almost everything was already packed. "Woah! How did you pack all of that so fast!?" i asked her.

"I'm just faster than you. Because i'm cooler with the kids~~" She chuckled.

"oh come on!!" i sat on the chair, waiting for breakfast. My mother was cooking the chair. I decided to head upstairs to take my novel then go back downstairs to read it while waiting for breakfast. I chattered with my mother. Just a classis morning. Nothing else. Later, the afternoon had finally started. A van was there to pick me and my mother up.
