6 Chapter6: Lingering past

I woke up...

I moved to the corner of the bed and looked outside the window, It was still dark, there is no sign that the sun will rise up yet. I then looked at the room I'm in, It was quite spacious, there's not much stuff inside, there was only a table, a chair, and the bed I'm sitting at.

Now that my mind is clear, and I know now for sure that I was transported to another world, this world. I feel dejected, I thought I already accepted the fact that I died and got transported here, but I feel like I still have lingering feelings left to my original world. To be more specific, my family. They are the only ones I feel connected to in that world. I really loved them.

My mother, who's always supportive and caring even though I'm like this, she still treated me nicely and still cared for me.

My father, who's really strict and can easily get angry, taught me the value of things. I learned many things from my father, like discipline, respect, and strength.

My siblings, me and my siblings were really close when we were still little. But as we grew up we became more distant. I have two brothers and two sisters, they are all good to me, even though they know that I'm a good for nothing. they are all well educated, while two of them are already working the other two are still in highschool and college.

Now that I think about it, even though I'm an otaku and a bit of a hikikomori, I'm still a family man.

I pictured us eating together happily at our old house. Everyone is Smiling, except for my father. While my mother is still serving us more food. It was really fun, I want to go back to those days.

[ ... ] before I can notice it, I was already crying. Small droplets of tears are already flowing through my face.

I haven't realized that I loved them this much till now. I guess the saying " You will only find the value of things after you lose it" is true.

[ Haha... ] I covered my eyes with my hands while smiling bitterly.

" I wonder if they even cried a little when I died "

[ Too bad, the cost of my death was something that is not dramatic, or rather, it was funny. ] I really hate those goddesses when I think back of how they killed me. I'm still lucky that I still don't remember what was that dream was about.

Even so, the way I lived my life in that world is still something I consider sad and boring. That's why even though the goddesses separated me from my family I'm still grateful, now that I can finally live in a world that I consider, a world that I will not be bored and can fit in.

Now that I died in that world, I just hope that my siblings won't abandon our mother, if I remember correctly, Taking care of my mother was a task given to us by my father just before he died.

But like what I said, I'm already dead. There's nothing I can do right now but to live my life here instead. I need to move on, and forget my lingering past.

I said forget, but there's no way I will forget what my family did for me, and all the things they taught me.

Wiping my face, I became more determined to live a satisfying life in this world, I also bet that that's what my parents will also want me to do.

I looked at the window again, the sun is now rising.

I put my smelly clothes on, and walk towards the door, I opened it, warm air flew over me.

[ Yahoooo!!!! ] I shouted, I hope no one heard me.

The sun is looking so beautiful as the sunlight hit my face.

It's gonna be a good day.
