A few days later grandma and grandpa already on their honeymoon and now it's just me and mummy. I don't mind I love spending time with mummy. Beside we're right now are doing some experiments you know chemistry stuff well not me but her but I am watching her so it still count.

Suddenly there's a ringing nad I recognise it as mummy phone so she pull of her gloves and pick up the phone I didn't heard clearly of what the content is but for some reason it's like a bad news well based on her features it's changed to 😁 from 😰.(at this one I actually didn't find the correct emoji but hope you understand it)

Well, it's actually a mix of emotions like there's sad, mad, frustration but mostly sad tho. "mummy? What's going on?" I asked start to get worried.

She end the call and to look at me her eyes red because of her tears. I hate seeing she's crying. "mummy, what's wrong?" I asked again. "g-grandma a-and g-grandpa.... T-they h-had an accident" she finally finished her sentence.

"w-what?! A-are they're alright? How did this happen?" I got so many questions but the look on mummy's face tells me everything she's crying and didn't answer me she's having an anxiety and that's only one thing that all this happens. It's because grandma grandpa t-they're d-dead.

-.-.-

Everything went fast both me and mummy at grandma and grandpa graves. Why did this happen? Why this happened to me? Did I do anything wrong?

I cry as they start to buried them. I couldn't do anything I look at mummy she's crying so hard I never seen her cry this much. If you all asking the cause of their death was because of an accident their way back home on an airplane. I did heard a few officers said that it seems like it was planed but no one has enough evidence to tell that it's a murderer because it all looks like an accident obviously something from broken at any airplane parts.

A week passed mummy seems sadder instead of getting better but I couldn't blame her I also mourn their death but how long? I look at mummy she barely touch her food.

"mummy?" I asked "yes honey?" she didn't call me dear at all she stop calling me that since grandma passed on. Obviously because she's trying to adapt the fact that grandma is gone. Grandma always called me and mummy dear so does grandpa. But I can't be sad now, I need to cheer mummy up.

"mummy you should eat more" I'll try to reasoning with her. She look at her food for a while and say "I'm not hungry honey, but please eat your food, it's getting cold if you don't" she try to sound like she's fine. What is she thinking she's lying with? I'm her freak daughter that can find any lies beyond reason. But who am I to say those stuff at her I'm just a 5 years old kid that only have a mom.

-.-.-

Three years later. It's been three years but nothing has changed mummy still mourn of grandma and grandpa deaths. I never thought a person can mourn this long. Nevertheless she's one of them. If you asking me how I feel of course I feel sad but I've got the world in front of me I couldn't let someone's death stop me.

Alright, it sounded bad but believe me what I meant was that I need to keep move on and keep going I cannot just stay mourn and do nothing. I mean no matter how birds fly it will come to the ground when it's time to sleep you understand? And we as the one who's still alive have to keep move on and keep going it's for the best of us doesn't it?

As I walk I saw mummy at the garden. I walk towards her she's still look sad. So I took a seat next to her on the bench "mummy" she didn't respond to me. She's been like this for months now probably a year if I'm correct but I need to try again so that she won't suffer herself "mummy, I know you're listening to me" I said stop for a while waiting whether she's going to speak or not.
