"Mommy. Why do we have to do nice things to other people?" said that little girl.
Her mother gave her a faint smile.
"Oh, sweetheart. We do nice things to other people to make them happy. When they're smiling happily, it makes us feel happy too." she smiled.
The wind blow through that sweet little girl's hair. The sun shines brightly on that afternoon. Everything was peaceful.
"Sammy." He called the little girl.
The little girl went to him with a bright smile. It almost seemed like nothing bothers her little mind and heart.
The man, then, holds her up and put her on his lap. He combed her hair gently.
"Remember my words, honey. Once you grow up, I don't want you to feel insecure about yourself. Being you is more than enough to make people likes to be friend with you. Don't be sad when people leaves you. Some people can stay in your heart. But not in your life." He said.
That little girl looked at her father and nodded.
"I promise!" she exclaimed with a goofy grin on her face.
"There you are!" That lady said as she brings a plate of cookies for her family.
"Mommy! Daddy said that being myself is enough to make people being friends with me. Is it true?" she asked.
"Of course, dear. You need to learn to love yourself first before you can love other people." She kissed her forehead and smiled.
[ That was the last time I saw Mom's beautiful smile. The smile that always calm my heart. ]
"M-mom.. D-dad.." She said with a weak voice while blood streaming down her face.
[ Our happy moments turned into a tragedy. I lost my precious ones that day. Both of them. ]
"Get the fibrillator ready!" The doctor said to the nurses.
[ I passed out after that. When I woke up, I was surrounded by machines. I blinked my eyes to adjust it to the light. When I finally can see, I saw my aunt crying beside me]
"A-aunt Aria???" she looked at that girl with tears in her eyes. She hugged her. Her tiny body was in pain but she decided to endure it.
Then she remembered what happened.
"Where's mom? Where's mom and dad?? Where's my mommy and daddy, Aunt Aria?? Where are they???" she asked desperately.
Her aunt looked at her. In her eyes were sadness. That little girl understood what happened. She whimpered.
"They're gone, aren't they?? They're gone. They left me forever. Why did they left me?! Why!! Mommy!! Daddy!! Why did you leave me?!?" that little girl shouted.
She cried as hard as she could. She cried all the pain and sadness that she felt that time. It hurts. It hurts too much. Her aunt only stares at that little girl with tears in her eyes. She knew that she needed time on her own. Alone. She left her alone in the ward.
"Mommy.. Daddy....Why didn't God take me with you?? Why can't I go with you? Why?" She sobbed as she hugges her knees.

I smiled while staring up at the sky.
"Mom. Dad. Now I know why God didn't take me with you." I thought to myself.
