Seohyun POV

 It was a black pitch room that I suddenly am in, makes me feel wierd.

    "Hello?"   My voice echoed down the black tunnel, more like a dark place or surroundings. Everything was so creepy silent until a booming sound was heard.

  Boom!!!

  Looking at the direction to where the sound came from, I walk warily and somehow steady, like in those movies, James Bond 007, where the enemies was going nearly to him and he was already prepared marching in near to his enemies, ready to attack or rather shoot them with his shot gun.   My heartbeats quicken as I took every step and found a bright light shining down in front of me. That light was so mega super duper power wooh big, with a pair of royal gate at the end of where the light can be streched.

    To be honest, it doesn't even hurt my eyes staring at it, it makes me feel addictive and reach out and enter to pass those gate, but one voice stopped me dead in my tracks.

  "Seohyun? Is that you?"   Looking around me as I recognised the sweet feminine voice that I long wanted to hear from.   "Mom?! Its me Seohyun! Seo Joo Hyun! Where are you mom?! Why can't I see you ?!"

 I screamed at the top of my lungs hearng her, my mom, Seo Hyun Mae.   "I'm right here, behind you, my daughter."   She said with her voice faintly whispering.

 "Mom?"   I turned around with a smile on my face, soon, not to my expectation, my smile faded away slowly. Seing my mom wearing a white color dress from her hair, straight down to the end of her toe nail. Not as I expected the sight of seeing my mom like this over the past few years. Not even liking of what view which stands in front of me right now.   Her hair was now full of white hair and it's not dark brown anymore. Tears rolled down my cheek as I reminded myself that she is already growing old day by day.   "Honey? Why are you crying?"

  She took a step forward and reach up her pale hands, feeling the coldness, and wiped away my tears. That touch that was now cold instead of warm. That touch from her hand that I was longing, dreaming to hold her hand as we could walk as far as we could down the streets that we could go for.   Without replying her question, I gave her a tight hug that lasts more than 2 minutes.   "Seohyun, everything is going to be okay."

  She shushed me down until realization hits me.   My hands started to tremble an sweat at the same time, my face turned pale as my mom's now skin.   "Mom, where are we? And why can I finally talk to the death? This is a dream isn't it? If this is please wake me up. I want to see and be with my boyfriend for at least the last 3 days before I could go to hell or heaven."

  I shakily let her go of her embraced and looked around the pitch black room.   "We are nearly in the world of peace, Heaven. Means at this point is where you will be seeing the dead suls wondering around you if you were to take another few more step. You are nearly a dead soul, Seohyun. Like how I feel whenI first arrive here a few year ago. It's quite scary facing death, but not as calm as you think."

  She looked into my eyes, taht eyes that had been watching me from afar.   Silence of peacefulness and wind was blowing everywhere.    "Now Seohyun, I need you to listen to me. Go back down there to Earth and go have a family with your boyfriend down there."   She patted my back, pointing at a window, a window without a railings.

I looked down and see the white clouds wondering around as gravity pulls them down to stay at a certain level.

    "But, mom, I won't leave you ever again. I am not going to leave this place, this place where you are staying right now. Take in with me."

  I held up my hand , as I quickly changed my mind, so she could reach me and bring me with her.   Instead, she gently pushes my hand away with her palm in one slow move.

    "No baby, get back down there. We will meet again, I promise." More tears started to get out of control from my socket and cries like a waterfall as she coontinues.

  "Now close your eyes and imagine you being a human again, remember back your memories with me when you were still a baby until right now, at this moment, imagine you having a family that everybody envy of. If you love me, imagine that I will be always watching you from right here, where the window is placed."

  Without thinking twice again, I closed my eyes and imagine all the scene that I had always wanted to have in life, with Henry.
