she's gone

A boy around 10 was sleeping soundly when suddenly his sister came barging in. The bright atmosphere turned to dark. The boy was woken up by the sound of the door. He saw tears coming out from her elder sister eyes. "Please God, no..", the boy thought to himself. But he could say none. His voice was stuck in his throat. He saw this coming. His sister sat beside him on the bed.

"She's gone...she's really gone this time..". His teary eyed sister managed to say.

The little boy felt something so horrible that he couldn't say anything else except from crying. He wasn't the type of boy who's weak enough to shed his tears in front of  someone else. But in this case, it was really something. For the first time in the world, he felt lost. He knew this would happen but he didn't expect it to be this hard. He didn't know he's going to feel empty like this.

"She left me once, and now she left me for good. I couldn't sneak out to meet her anymore like I used to...She's...gone..", the boy said to himself. He needed to register this new piece of information in his head.

On the bed, the brother and sister hugged each other, until they knew that it was time to get up.

-----------------------------------

It was this dream that the boy faced. He remembered everything from the dream. The room, the bed sheet, the door, his sister..The dream really occurred to him few months later. He realised that the dream served as a reminder to him, and that he should be prepared. For whatever is happening, he could make into full use of the time left to be with his loved ones, and do the right thing. He knows that.
