Brothers by luck

Chapter 5 "The departure"

Author's point of view

Next day at 05:20 A.M, a soul in pain finally found some peace, a peace that was eternal and meant for someone in such a long fight to get to it. Allison was no more, and all she was leaving behind, was her memories and a picture of a smile that was always on her face, in the hearts of his son and husband. Andrew and Walle were in sheer sadness, the day off which they could not even imagine, was right in front of their eyes.

The hospital took the body to further get it ready for the funeral, until that time it was going to be kept in the mortuary of the hospital, Andrew head out to spread this sad new in his vicinity, to the family and friends while Walle Was back at the home lying on his mother's bed, holding the same key chain that she gave him and big shiny tears falling off his face on to the bed sheet.

Walle's point of view

I can still feel her presences, I know that she is here and all that I want her is to know that how much I loved her and I promise that I will look after dad, I can smell her sweet perfume that was spread all around her room, just feel like she will pop right round the corner to prank me, as I got back to my room, I found a note on my bed, I opened it and starts reading it and after reading that note I lost my emotions and started to cry ...

{Note}

To my dear son,

I know there will be a time that, I will not be around to do your work for you, so just to avoid this once I pressed your cloths, they are hanging in your closet, you will be needing those soon, just in case,

Allison: "hey, bud I know how much you love me, but you know that I will always love you more,"

                                                           With Love, from Mom,

I got up and wiped up my tears away. I opened my closet And found a black suit well pressed and perfumed with the same fragrance that she used to wear, I changed and felt something in my left pocket it was a small piece of paper that says "you look good in this" I replied to that out loud "thanks Mom". I got downstairs to mom dads room to press cloths for dad, later I found that dad was on his way to pick up the body from hospital, after half an hour dad came home, he looked exhausted and extremely tired, as he didn't rested the whole night, I gave him his suit, so that he could change and I slipped the note into his pocket as well, I know that what it feels like to get to hear some good words in a situation like this, and from a person that loves you, doubles the intensity of that compliment and takes away the misery out of our life for a moment to endure this, after getting ready he came to me and holds my hand, he gave me the locket that I gifted to mom, he told me that the nurse put it away, while the cleansing, so he gave me back with the same note and thanked me for it.

After couple of hours the house was filled with guests and after few moments the ambulance arrived at home with the body and they bring in the coffin and placed it on the stand, my heart beat was racing in, as I was witnessing something that was lifeless yet was my mother as well. Everyone shared their eulogy, they all were holding a piece of papers and on them were some pieces of her life that she share with each of them. I listened to every one carefully and got to know of that side of her, she always wanted me to be in this society, as an helper, that will help a friend or even a person unknown to her in such a way that others don't get noticed of, a person that spreads smiles on everyone's face, by sharing some pie in the neighbors or sharing launch at work place, just to see no one should be left out without getting a bit near her.

She looked beautiful as always, her skin was white as the freshly fallen sown and lips turned pale red, her hairs suddenly looked as if they changed their color from dark brown to lighter shade of that, and the curls were tangled on to one and other, her dress contrasted with her skin so well that made her looked like an angle, as she truly was for me.

I slowly reached her coffin, got on my knees hold her hand, the hands that once felt so warm and fluffy, were now all cold as ice, I carefully opened her palm and put the locket and the note inside and closed it, I finally said her good bye and my farewell, and now she has to go, go on a long journey, a journey that is going to be much peaceful and without all the fuss of life, But one thing that I learned from this departure that "no matter what we have to keep moving on". As my mother told me to prove myself to be as a great son for a father that lost its better half, I know I can't fill that space but I can at least try to find a way to help him built again from the start that was starting with this end.

Author's point of view

Like all the other humans that came into this world and eventually got back to dust where they actually belonged, just like them Allison was no other and so are we.

They parted her in tears and hope for a new start for themselves, but you can start a new if you can't let go of your past, the past cannot be changed but the future it can be made accordingly, and for a better future Walle and Andrew decided to move on and they left their house and all the memories of Allison with it and shifted to a new city for a whole new start.
