Chill and Enjoy Reading!

__________

And just like that...my perfect life changed. That one sentence from my Auntie, have changed my life. Funny how it easily to take my parents away from me, in one death. They're now gone. They left not because they don't love me anymore, but because someone shoot them. I'm not particular with violence since my parents have warned me about it. But I knew they were killed. 

But why? Out of all people. Why does it have to be my parents? What did I do to deserve this kind of heartbreak? It was just in the morning, when they're still alive and kicking. Surprising me, with my favorite strawberry short cake. I even wished like a hundred times to be with my parents forever, and just like a snapped of fingers. That wish had been banished, God didn't even granted it. 

When I saw how my dad was shot in his left chest many times, my heart was crushed. When it happened to my mom my heart became broken. And when my Auntie told me that they are not sleeping, that they are already gone. My heart felt numb, that I can't feel it anymore. Like the news have taken my life too. Like I died too.

Now staring blankly at the cold bodies of my parents, being carried in the stretcher towards the ambulance. It just makes sense to me, it's slowly register on my mind that they are really dead. 

Gone is the strawberry cheese cake from my mom, everytime I have a five stars in my hand. And gone is my favorite playmate when it comes to playing with my bears, gone is the sweet hugs from my dad. Gone is the life teachings from my two great coaches, no more cuddled moments with them, no more travels and bonding with them, and no more perfect life with them.

I don't feel any pain or heartache, but I can tell how angry I am right now. My Aunt Ruth is holding my right hand, as we watched the ambulance drove away from our Mansion. 

"Are they really dead?" I asked Auntie unconsciously, and my voice is cold.

"Yes hija, let's go to our Mansion so you could rest," she answered. 

"Who killed them?" I asked again with cold voice.

"We'll know soon. I will do something about it okay? For now-"

"Let's find that person Auntie, I want to kill him too," I didn't recognize my voice because it's just cold like what I am feeling. 

Auntie Ruth gasped as if surprised with what I just said, but she cleared her throat.

"You should rest Hija, we'll talk tomorrow. Paul, let's go now," she said as if dismissing of what were talking about.

Uncle Paul carried me towards their limousine's backseat. He put my seatbelts and turned around to the driver's seat. Auntie Ruth is in passenger seat. 

Malamig pa rin ang aking pakiramdam, namamanhid ako, pero ramdam ko ang matinding nag-aalab na galit sa puso ko. I watched the city lights of Laodicea, it's peaceful actually, but the last words of my parents has been playing again and again in my mind. Habang tahimik naman sa harapan ko si Uncle at Auntie.

I want to hug my teddy bears right now, I should've brought them with me. What if I ask Auntie to buy me one? There's nothing wrong with that right?

"Auntie?" I tried to call her in my sweet voice but its remained cold.

"Yes hija?" she turned to me.

"Can you buy me a teddybear? I just want to hug one." I requested.

Bumuntong hininga siya at ngumiti na parang naginhawaan, "We have it many in our Mansions hija, I already prepared your room. You can have them all."
