THE LIES WITHIN ^⁠_⁠^(⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

The beginning after the end

I woke up with a light headache but I was feeling a little dizzy too. I remembered what I had last experience and I knew that is was all a dream it just felt so real.

My mom came but she was looking at me in a way that I had never seen her look before.

I didn't mind I just moved out of bed started preparing to go pick Lucas but just then,a big number of my neighbours came in their vigil clothes as if someone has died at our home.

They were all hugging me like something had happened, saying sorry.

"mom What's going on " I asked.

She just looked at me and didn't reply so I knew it was true, Mom must've died and what I was seeing was her ghost.

" mommmmmmmm" I started crying when reality has finally hit me.

Everyone looked at me like I was doing something wrong and then I felt a hand pull me away.

" are you crazy so you want me dead" mom asked.

I just couldn't understand because dead people are spiritual but mom touched me.

"I hate that am the one telling you this I initially wanted you to remember everything but I think it going to be hard so...Lucas is dead.

I know you didn't want him at first but you shouldn't go this gathering all neighbours to announce him dead.

"come here my girl"

she pulled me and Hugged me so tight that I could suffocate.

" wait Mom were you also in my dream , whoooooooow it felt so real don't worry I also thought it was actually real.

She looked at me and went away then my phone rang.

It was the bank calling and they asked if I knew Lucas Twinamatsiko.

" Yes he's my boyfriend "

" he put you as his next of kin so if you find time meet us before he is buried.

What are you talking about he's not yet dead.

I switched on the TV to find something entertaining but they were talking about an accident that took place in Mabira and a one Lucas Twinamatsiko had lost his life and was currently at Mulago hospital.

Everything felt like it was not real because I couldn't understand how I was at home when we were together.

I gathered up my courage and went to the hospital because I knew he was there alone he had no one in Kampala.

I asked around and they told me where he could be. outside the ward I was directed to stop a lady, medium height, dark complection, noble, and she seemed to be crying. when I took a closer look I remembered that I had once seen her in photos she was Luca's mom.

I walked gently towards her to say hello but as soon as she saw me, her face changed. Before I could say anything she had already planted a hot slap on my cheek.

"you killed my son you unlucky girl with your bad luck. I don't want to see you anywhere around my son's body ."
