Gone

Chapter 5

“Aunt Ling hows my mom?” I asked as I got home. Shes our neighbor and Earths mother. She was just getting out from my mothers room. She closed the door and hold me. “Your mothers okay now New, a doctor came a while ago and he said your mom just got unconscious due to stress and fatigue." I open the door a little and peeked inside. I close it after checking mom and went to the living room. I sat with Aunt Ling. “Your moms really trying her hard to give you a better life, New.” I nodded and bite my lips. I took a deep breath. “I know.” After that we just sat there in silence.

“Im so glad your moms okay now.” Gun said when he called me the night after. I nodded even he cant see me and leaned on the headboard. “Yes, I was so worried, good thing Aunt Ling was there. By the way, is Tay there? I want to thank him for the congee he sent. My mom really loved it. She has no appetite but when she tasted it, she ate a lot.” “Ow Tay went outside but Ill tell it to Tay. He will be happy to hear that your mom loved it.”

When my mother got PSmile, Gun and Tay went to visit our house. They bought a lot of foods and resent for my mom that made my mom shocked and happy. “You still give time to go here despite your busy schedule, I really appreciated it Smile. “Of course Aunt, Im sorry if I wasnt able to visit here a lot.” Phi said then hold my mothers hand. “its fine.” My mother said then looked at Tay. Tay Shyly smiled at my mother which made all of us laughed. “Thank you for sending me foods, you're really a nice boy.” “Yieee!” Gun said teasing Tay.

I was writing inside the office when I got bored, I yawned and glanced outside. I watched the students pass by, I smiled when I saw Tay. He also looked at my direction so I waved at him. He waved back and left with his classmates.

It was Valentines day, I was busy helping and organizing for the program later. My sweats were dripping as I was here for a while now and was hit directly by the sun. I closed my eyes and breathed. “Im thirsty.” I said to myself as I sat on the floor and wiped my face. I took the bottled water my co-officer gave a while which was empty and tapped it on the ground. I was startled when I felt something cold touched my cheeks. I looked up but I couldn't see anything aside from the sun light covering a person in front of me. I adjusted my angle and found out it was Tay. He laughed at me and handed me a bottled water. “Thanks.” I said after accepting it and drank immediately. Tay sat beside me and asked me. “Are you free later, phi?” I looked at him then think. “After this?” I asked pointing at the program and Tay nodded. “Well I am. Gun and I had planned on something but hes busy with his project and my mom will come with Aunt Ling.” I said. “Ahmm-actually I want to invite you to come with me. I w-won two movie tickets and I-“ “Okay, I'll come with you.” Tay got shocked and looked at me like he cant believe I accepted his offer. “Haha, why does it looks like you're not expecting me to-“ I said teasing him. “No Phi. Im happy. Thank you” after that he immediately stood up and left.
