Death

I opened my eyes and look at the ceiling.This ceiling, this room and this bed are all the memories in my head throughout my life, it has always revolved around this tiny room ever since I was a child this room has always been my so-called friend... I stared at the ceiling for a few minutes. I closed my eyes slowly....

"Knock, Knock".."Kazuki it's Mom I'm going in ok?"...As the door opened I saw my mother holding a tray filled with food.. She gently put the tray down to a table near.

She gently carresed my face and spoke with a gentle tone. "Kazuki good morning my baby"...I spoke after her. "Good morning mom"...She smiled and took the tray from the table and started to feed me.

After I was finished eating breakfast. My mother looked at me with sad eyes. She held my hand tight and spoke with a sentimental voice. "Kazuki I'm sorry. Mom's sorry." She started sobbing. I looked at her and I understood why my mother's being sentimental. Cause tommorow will be the day I die.

Just a month ago the doctor revealed that I only have a month to live , my mother pleaded and cried all the way to home as she couldn't cope with the pain..

As we came home that evening my mother kept sobbing saying it's all her fault. For me it wasn't her fault at all, I know how much she loved me as I was the only child and the only family she has after my father got into an accident when I was only a newborn..

As I slept on my bed I had a long dream. A dream that our family was complete that I wasn't plague by this illness, I graduated college, got a nice decent job. Met a woman and happily betrothed her, we had 2 children one boy and one girl, the dream was Joyous and lovely...

"Drip","Drip"...Sounds of dripping water was heard in my little room, I slowly opened my eyes and saw a pitch black sorounding me "Hello is anyone there?"..

It was silent the next second a blinding light engulfed me as I saw my sleeping body in my room. 'What's going on?'. The next second I saw , I was being carried and my mother screaming. I looked at the scene infront and understood what was happening 'I died'. That word clouded my head..

I looked at my mother sobbing and pleading for me to comeback. I looked at her and thought. 'I'm sorry mom'. The next scene broke my heart more as I was put into a coffin and had a grave with my name carved onto it.My mother's cries resonated in the cemetery as she kept on pleading and crying to my grave. 'Im really sorry mom'...

After that scene was showed the light engulfed me once more and I was floating in the abyss, tears were dripping from my face as I couldn't cope with the pain. As I was sobbing a gentle voice spoke. "How pitiful human I'm sure your mother is fine". As the mysterious no-face figure said, I asked back "How do you know if she's fine?. Im the only family she has!"..

The mysterious figure said as he/she showed me a scene after my death. I saw my mother crying in my grave as she was soaked with rain until an umbrella stopped the rain from drenching her further. My mother looked at the man. "Your son wouldn't want to see you like this" .As he said that , he kneeled with one leg and took a handkerchief in his pocket and wipe down my mother's drenched face...

The next scene showed my mother packing her bags from our old home she took my pictures and dad's and held them. "Kazuki,Honey (Reiki) don't worry I will not forget you both. Honey I am fine and is starting a new life so please rest assured". As my mother finished her sentence a man walked and held my picture and dad's with my mother. "Kazuki and Reiki you two might have not known me, but I promise you , I will take care of Reina in your stead" . As the man said that , they both left the apartment while my mother looked back while walking away..

The next scene showed itself my mother happily married to the man, in the next following months my mother was holding a child in her hands and spoke "Kazuki do you see this it's your new sibling". I also saw the man who not only helped my mother many times but also the man who healed my mother's broken heart...

Tears were flowing down as I saw the scenes , I looked back at the mysterious figure and said wholeheartedly. "Thank you"....
