Before and After the Tragedy

A day before the tragedy. 

  Violet stayed with Kal in the morning and helped him open the gifts. He was happy. But he mostly clung to her like he knew that she's gonna leave. She spoke to him but he was always about to cry. Now that he's happy she doesn't want him to cry. Kal was sniffling when Violet put a few of her things into her bag. 

"Mimi!" Kal wailed as Violet continued packing. 

"I will be back." She patted Kal's head. 

"Kal, your Mimi will be back," Leon said. 

"Yeah, I will even come here to pick you up," Ian told him but the boy kept wailing and didn't let go of Violet's leg. 

"Mimi!" He screamed in high pitch. 

  Her heart ached while her darling was throwing a tantrum. Harvey picked up Kal who quickly pushed his face as he struggled to get down. He screamed aloud and Harvey put him down. Violet put her jacket on and picked up Kal who stopped crying and smiled at her.
