It has been a month, and everything goes well. I was reading book, peacefully sitting on the couch and sipping some black tea when I was disturbed by phone ringing. I annoyingly got up and took the phone.

"Hello? Is this Mrs. Rooselet?" The voice from the other side spoke.
"It's her daughter. Can I do something for you?" I asked.
"Child, can you hand over the phone to your mom?" the voice said.
Child? Really? I am a teen not a child. "Yes" I said and yelled out "Mommy".
My mom came from the kitchen, I could say annoyed cause I disturbed her cooking but whatever, it was for the anonymous person on the phone. My mom took the phone from me and said "Hi" after a short pause "It's Mrs. Rooselet" again a pause "WHAT!.... NO WAY" she kind of yelled with tears streaming down. I was a bit scared as I understood there's something happened. Aiden ran downstairs hearing my mom's yell. He stood near me confused and shocked as much as I am. She put down the phone and hugged me tightly crying out her heart. What happened? I can't even guess anything. I made her sit in the couch next to me and rubbed her back as we continued hugging. After few minutes Aiden's phone started ringing and he picked up. "Mom" he called out. There was a long pause before he said "I guess she knows about it. She is crying like hell. And don't worry I will do whatever I can and mom, come here. I don't think I can stand Aunt Linda and Geneva crying." He looked at me, in a sympathetic manner and gave me sad smile. I looked at him, confused. Every thing was confusing. Mom crying. Aiden saying he can't stand me and Mom crying. And I have not yet started crying. I didn't know what to do until I get an answer. What's the big matter that make Aiden ask his parents to come. I heard that he came here due to family issues and now he is calling his parents? The issues are over or what!?

I was so busy in my thoughts that I didn't realized when Aiden came and hugged me and my mom. I was surprised, shocked, scared and a lot of emotions came hitting all over me like a giant wave. "I am so sorry for the loss" he whispered. Loss? What loss? I don't understand. Mom stopped crying and looked at us with tearful eyes. I can't help but cry a lot more but hold my tears back without slipping it. She got another call, and went outside the house. We heard her leaving in her car.

I looked at him, tired eyes from crying. I don't know what happened, but I am sure if I came to know what happened, it will break my heart. He hugged me and said "I know it will be hard for you, but you should know." he whispered in my ears in a soft husky voice that went chills down my spine. I hugged him back trying to hold my tears back to know what's the news. He again whispered "Your dad.... His flight crashed and died" My hands loosened, eyes went wider, cold consumed all over me, my tears dried, before darkness hit me.
