The Birth of Deliria

Dead or alive?

My parents went back to the house that my grandma painted LOVE on it. They entered. And they searched for her everywhere. Literally everywhere.

"Maybe she is searching for us somewhere." my mother said.

"Yeah. That's why we could leave her a note. Where did she leave the note for you?"

My mom took dad upstairs into the room and showed him. They wrote a note and stuck it into that squirrel's paw. And they left full of anxiety.

            * * * * * * * * * *

The next day, they quickly went to the house again to either find a response or my grandma. But they found neither. It was exactly like they left it.

Three days later, nothing changed too.

My mom started worrying.

Is it possible that after all these years spent in misery without her mother, will be retrieved back again? Is it true that her mother won't be seen by here one more time? She just wished she could take a glimpse of her mother nowadays.

"I think we need to get back to the Crypts. " my dad told mom after realizing how she burried herself in worry and pain.

"What? Why?" my mom spluttered out.

"Because we need to know what happened. " his voice sounded steady and calm opposite of my mother's.

So my dad went back into the Crypts wearing his regulator's uniform. And he acted cool and normal while asking one of the guarding regulators who stood on the first gate of the Crypts:

"Hey. Have you caught any sympathizers soon. I think we're working pretty well." my dad said with a no expression on his face.

"Why would you want to know?" asked the guard.

"Well I guess us regulators should know what's going on. Plus, we work too damn hard to catch these ignorant people. Pfft. They think they actually can escape." my dad said in a way to show he's making fun of these people.

"Well it seems you know nothing." said the guard.

"Me? Why say that?" my dad asked with a weird expression then drawn on his face.

"Many do escape. In fact one just escaped Ward 6 or 5 a few weeks ago."

admitted the guard.

"What the hell?" my dad says as if shocked and slowly takes off his sun glasses.

"So you wanna tell me that a person was able to escape? A sympathizer. And we couldn't catch him." my dad asked again.

"As you heard" the regulator said making that disappointed face.

"But. But." said the regulator with suspense.

"But what?"dad asked

"Luckily, we caught her." said the regulator.

Then dad felt too down suddenly. It was a woman. They caught his mother in law. They caught her when she came back to get the necklace.

"Are you fine?" the regulator asked when noticing dad's face change colors.

"Yeah yeah. It's just the sun." my dad excused. "When did you finally catch that sympathizer?" my dad asked in a cheering tone again.

"I am not so sure. I guess three to four days ago." said the regulator.

They stay quiet a few seconds. Looking around.

"Oh okay. I am sorry I need you to excuse me. I seriously need to use the bathroom.  See ya!" and my dad heads off. Full of sadness and disappointed. Back into the Wilds.

Will my mom accept it?

How will she react?
