Loneliness...
That night, I was staring at the black sky that filled with shinny and tiny stars. My heart ached as I remembered that I lived away from my parents for years and I didn't know the meaning of parent's love toward their children. I envy my friend because he was so close to his family and whenever he was in trouble, his parents would help him. I was standing in the darkness. Tears filled my eyes and my heartbeats slowed down. My feet gave up and I was on my knees, crying hard.
It was painful to remember my parents, especially that I was rude to them sometimes. Being weak made me behave differently from any other people. I collapsed as the tears continued to drip. The grass moved gently with the wind. I wished the night would never end. I was seeking for warmth that I haven't taste it for ages. I wanted my parents to be by my side, near me, comforting my cold and numb body. I continued sleeping in the darkness. I felt I was drowning deeper and deeper. I almost lost my feelings in this gloomy world. My body weaken every second and my heartbeats dropped and almost stopped beating. I wasn't sure if this meant death or loneliness.
My hands shivered, as I felt a warm hand. I didn't know who that person was and I didn't even care. In the end, I found what I was looking for. Warmth! Yes, it was so warm that I started to feel my tears dripping again. This time the tears weren't because of being sad, but tears of happiness. That person hugged me tightly, apologizing. My weak hands didn't support me in hugging the person back. Before opening my eyes, I somehow managed to hold tightly against that person. I was so happy. The tears that filled my eyes made everything blurry and I almost couldn't recognize that dearest person.
After a few seconds, that person wiped my tears and I was able to see again. My eyes widened as I saw my parents next to me. My mother called my name softly, which made me touched. I jumped toward her and welcomed me with open hands. I hugged her hard. She patted my head and whispered in a low voice. I didn't know what to do. I was afraid that this would be just a dream. Soon, everything went black, but I felt the heat reaching my cheeks. I thought it was the fever that made me chill for a moment. As I opened my eyes, I found out that it was a dream.
The cold wind entered the room. I moved from my bed toward the window, wishing to see my parents. My heart filled with sorrow and pain. I almost started crying, although I didn't. I saw my parents waving at me. I was supposed to be happy that my wish came true, but I felt more pain. I was no longer a child who would go crying to my parents. Living years away from them has built a different kind of feeling. Whenever I saw them, more pain filled my heart. I was troublesome to them. I always got sick when they arrived and came from a long journey just to see me. I never apologized to them and I never knew how to do so. After they left, I was crying hard against Kai's chest.
Loneliness... This feeling will never disappear. It will continue and remain for years until the day comes and I will completely lose everything.
