The Day You Said Goodnight

Last day I remembered when I was in a tree eating ice cream with my mom and my brother sat down calmly in the playground. Before the time I was hit by a ball with one of my friends, though it still hurt my head, but at least in still alive. "Alainne, you okay?", Crista asked me. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it. It was Millen's fault", both of them accused each other after the five of us playing dodgeball with Ronald and Rollan. They were twins, and also my cousins. While Crista and Millen were my trio. It was alarming, though, because my mom saw how I was hit by the ball right in front of my face, gaslighting myself that im fine. I have no father, we dont even know who my dad is. But my mom told me that he was a drunk man, and he cheated. So I accept it, and my mom was there for us. Luckily she was a teacher in an old school. La Villara Science and Mathematics. She also had a good salary in the place, and yet I was grateful because of how she raised with my little brother by my side. During my first day of elementary school, I hate talking. But I want to boost my confidence for my mom, so i'll have many opportunities to be part of any school leadership programs in high school. "Hello good morning, my name is Creselda Alainne Mercedes Rosario". I don't know why my mom named me that, even to my brother Czary Alliandro. But my mom's name is Aliannah Yvette Mercedes Rosario. She had the prettiest name alive somehow, maybe our dad's name starts "C". I also had lucid dreams, and it was weird when I can control my dreams somehow. I remembered every single thing every time I dream, but for some reason, at the end of my dream, a man might appear right in front of me, getting closer and closer. Yes, I was scared, wondering what would happen to me, but my dreams are also beautiful. Like any other kid could love for. "Alainne, let's go", Crista and Millen called me as we gathered every time after class, playing outside in a cold rain, wondering how life could be beautiful, of how childhood would be possible to experience this. Suddenly, I slipped and fell in the mud. A child like me almost cried that day, even for a small mistake. When a boy gave his hand to me, and said, "Are you alright?". He smiled gently with his pretty eyes on his face, staring at me. I stand up, wiping my tears, even with a slight mud on my hands. I ran to be with my friends, and yes, they teased me and said, "Looks like someone has a prince charming". But I suddenly pushed them while they laughed at me with embarrassment, though it may seem odd, but at least it's true. I blushed while telling them to shut up. Though I almost forgot his face, I didn't know who he is, because of how shy I am with him. We were just kids at that time, so I guess I won't blame myself for this. We went home while my mom was home early, cooking for dinner. After I take a shower, and piut on my clothes. My mom ask "how's your day, sweetie?", she said. "I'm good", as she looked at me closer, asking me, "why do you have a scar on your arm?". I never noticed until mom saw it, maybe of how we played outside in the rain and slipped. "We were playing mom, but I never expected that there was a scar on my arm". She ask, "Did you fall?". And I never hesitate to say yes, but she looked at me and told me to be careful. "Mom, why are you so early today?, More early than me". She told me that the weather was bad, and the school she worked on was flooding all over the streets, "How come that I was so early that you?", she asked me. Which I think maybe that's why teachers early dismissed our class too early, but we just played outside the rain on that day. "Your brother is sick, you should give him his dinner up stairs and feed him while I wash the dishes". I agreed, but until now I still cant get over the boy who helped me. I was in bed, and I was like "damn, I wonder who he is". I can't get over him, and still think if I meet him again. As I sleep, I feel a strange aura above, and I was in my dream alone in a forest. I was scared, but I can also control my dreams. I saw fireflies on my way traveling and guiding me where I will go. But suddenly, the man in my dreams again, with a faceless tall long body higher than me was following me, and I started to run away from me. "Leave me alone!", I screamed at him. While following the stars and the fireflies, but on beyond the forest, a cliff right in front stopped me. The man was getting closer and closer, but then suddenly I jumped on the cliff, and water splashed into my face. "HEY WAKE UP! YOU'RE LATE!", said Czary. While I was too stunned to speak, and checked out the time. I rushed to find my uniform and take a bath. Doing speed running. But when I came down, mom told me, "Why are you in your uniform?, its Saturday?". While my little brother laughed at me and told me that I'm dumb. **Ring, Ring**, a telephone was calling mom, "Hello, who's this?". "Is this Ms. Rosario?", a man replied. "Yes, who's this?, Mom asked. "Are you the wife of Mr. Ceasar?'. Mom was dumb founded when she heard. "Your husband is in the hospital, and we suddenly saw your picture in his wallet with your name in it. He was in a construction accident since yesterday, after the storm barge in". My mom was left speechless when she heard that moment, with her tears falling down in anger inside her soul. "Excuse me, who are you telling me that im his wife?, Did you know that I have no husband?, He's no husband to me, I hate him! I hate him so much! Maybe he just called me to pay his own hospital bills. We are now married!!!, and he is not my husband!!". Mom yelled at the phone, while we were listening. But the man said,Hiss hospital bills are already been payed by himself, and I apologize for telling you that your his wife. But he's already dying, and he made his request to us that if its okay that you and the kids will visit him in the hospital".. My mom didn't answer, but to think twice of her decision with us. Curiously knowing what our father looked like, me and my brother said yes to agree visiting my biological father. As my mom agreed with us, for the sake of the family. All of us agree, and my mom let her pride down for us. As we walked in the hospital, a room with white light shining in front of us as we open the door. A man with bandages says, "Alainne, Alliandro, how perfect you are. The eyes are beautiful just like your mother". My mom stared at him, thinking that she wouldn't wait for him to die in that situation, and asked, "Why are you doing this?". My dad can't speak to much anymore, but he saw us with a smile on face. "I'm sorry for what I've done, I can't talk too much, but I wrote this special letter for you three. I just wanna see you one last time before I die"
