Life After Death

Chapter III - Life After Death

*Erill's Point-Of-View*

I decided to take a walk in the Endless White World. I don't know but maybe to think about things. Complicated things such as my sudden death. Until now..

Until now I can't believe that I'm already dead.

"Ayts, why Am I like this?! I should be happy for my death. I don't have to prove myself for Mom and Dad, I don't need to obey them, I don't need to be a rebel for their damn attention. No one will ever hurt me, again." I convinced myself

Yea, no one will ever hurt my feelings, again. Tears streaming down my cheeks again.

"I thought, I'm strong enough. I thought, I can fight without their help. I thought, I don't need them. Tss but what I'm trying to do is to fool myself."

I'm really a fool. I'm an idiot. I'm---

"My Child, tell me. What are you thinking." He said softly

I stop from walking, I stop crying. My mind become stuck in the shock.

That voice. That Man. He talk to me again. I can't believe He talk---

Wait?! What does He said? I was really out of my mind. It was like 3 or 5 mins. before I collected my senses.

"Ah--- What do you mean?" the only words that I can say

"I said, My Child, what are you thinking?" He said patiently

I become stuck again. I was not sure if I can trust Him. I trust no one. I'm afraid to trust. I'm afraid anyone could betray me.

"You can trust me, My Child. You can tell me everything." o.O? Did He read my mind? He's a mind reader? He's so mysterious.

But His words, I feel an overwhelming sense with that. I didn't feel so secure before.

"Umm--- I'm not sure of that thing but---" I trailed off

"Go on, you can trust me. You can trust everybody." I can picture a big smile in His voice

I can feel a relief with that. Well, maybe...

Maybe I can trust Him.

"There's so much pain in my heart." I admitted

There's a silence for a moment. I thought He thinks I'm insane.

"Transfer it to me, My Child." He said with a painful voice

I can feel His pain, too. What is this feeling? Why His in pain, the last thing I remembered I was the one in pain. Wait? What He had said? Transfer my pain to Him? Is that possible? I'm very confuse right now.

*Andrew's Point-Of-View*

I held her right hand. I can't hold back my tears. But I should be strong, for her.

"Hey! Umm--- I got some good news for you, my princess." I said happily as I wipe my cheeks. Trying to sound like a happy one.

"The doctor said, you have a very strong personality. That means a lot for your recovery. If you wake up now, or maybe tomorrow or--- or the day after tomorrow, we-- we-- can go out now in this hospital. I know you hate hospitals." I said. It's so idiotic, then my tears won't stop from falling.

I felt a warm hand in my left shoulder. At first, I didn't recognise it cause I'm so frustrated now.

"Get some rest Andrew." then he remove his hand from my shoulder, he take a sit in the couch.

I wipe my tears before facing him. "I'm perfectly fine, Paolo. Thanks for your concern." I said as I face him, he looked stressed, too.

"You look terrible, dude." he said

"Ha! You look terrible, too." I teased him, trying to sound funny

"I'm more than terrible---." he trailed off, then tears began to flow in his eyes.

"I'm more than terrible without Vianca." his voice was broken

"Dude, I'm sorry. I know this has something to do with Erill, but please. Don't get ang---"

He cut me off, then brushed his cheeks. "Tss, you're ridiculous dude. I didn't think about that thing even for a moment. She's still like my little sister." he turn his look to Erill, then he smile.

I feel a sudden relief with his smile, it's like a week or two the last time I saw his smile. Then I began to think, when was the last time I smiled?

"Seriously dude, get some rest." Paolo said walking toward me, my thoughts cut off.

"I can't leave her, you know that." then I look at her

I can't picture that I will leave her even for a second.

"Then dude, take a nap in the couch. You look terrible." he said, very concern

"Terrible without Erill." I repeated his line

"That's my line dude, haha!" then we laughed

After some moments, he convinced me. He's the one who's watching Erill now. Then I obey him, I rested my body in the couch. Before I close my eyes I utter a quick prayer and looked at Paolo who's in the side chair of Erill's bed.

"Hey Paolo! Don't leave her even a second, okay. And wake me up when something happens." I blurt

"Ha! Yes boss! Go to sleep, you look like a zombie." he teased me

Then I closed my eyes, trying to concentrate on my sleep. Still praying that nothing bad will happen to her.
