When I was younger

A few years later, it was my 8th birthday," Muomo! When will I be receiving presents?" Muomo was my nun. She has been taking care of me since I was taken in by the orphanage.

She was the closest person to me that time," Well, be patient. Alright? Of course it's today. I won't tell you when. Or it wouldn't be a surprise!" Muomo was so sweet. Whenever I feel down or lonely, she would always accompany me and talk on other subjects to brighten my mood.

I went to my dorm. Sitting on bed, I watched over the window, there I saw friends playing with each other. They were having fun together, they looked so happy. I felt a little lonely and sad.

The night came, I watched through the window to see many beautiful stars sparkling brightly, I would always have the feeling of hope. Hope that everything would go well. However, whenever I wished for that, there would always be sadness deep in my heart. The feeling was so painful. Oh, what's that? Heartbreak, the feeling of losing everything, the feeling of holding them back and put the broken pieces back together. But it turned out to lose them again.

The middle of the night~

The moon was shining through the window, I was sleeping on bed hugging the pillow, little did I know a nightmare woke me up during this peaceful night.

In the dream~

"Mom? Dad?" I tried to shout as I dreamt of them in the hospital. It feels like I'm in there, watching them. But no matter how loud I shouted, they couldn't seem to hear me at all.

A cry of a baby filled the room, everyone was relieved. Then the heart beat detector's sound became the fade,"Mom! No!" I cried. I felt my tears started to trickle down my face. Before her death, I nearly hear what she said, almost a whisper, " My child, thank god you are alive. I love you. Take care."

The feeling of her words felt like she was saying goodbye, I ran towards her but found that I'm still on the same spot. I felt my legs were rooted to the ground, I can't seem to move at all. I shrieked at my mom until i couldn't,"Mom! No! Please don't go!" The vision of where I am began to fade. At last I woke up, panting, my body was sweating through out the night! My face felt damp too!

" Huff, huff, huff..." I managed to control my breath. The nightmare was still clear in my mind. Looks like I have thought too much since Muomo told me a few weeks ago. I calmed myself to sleep. This time, I felt at ease.
