Curse

Nightmare

There are many people around. They are occupying spaces on the road. They are prying to something I don't know. Maybe something had happened. They were all in there circling to something.

I don't know why I am here, it's strange. I'm sure that I was not here but in my room.

I walk slowly into the scene. My heart hurts, it is painful. I just can't explain how much it hurts.

Each step I take is so heavy that it also feels like I'm sinking into this hard rock way for cars. But there are no single cars running except the white car that had been in the direction of the center. The only one.....

When I was near the scene, I was stopped by their backs towards me. They are like sardines that have been in a can. It is hard to pass through them but I insisted anyway. I force myself to move and go in the little space for a mouse to walk in, that is in between two people.

Whispers clouded the air, some were asking what happened, some were explaining, while others simply listened.

I was one of those who listened carefully because I don't know what really happened in this situation right now. But suddenly, a conversation filled my ear.........and broke my heart

"They got hit by a motor"

"What? Why?"

"I don't know either. It is peculiar because there was no driver in the motorcycle."

"Strange. I pity them and the kids, truly."

With this conversation, something pop up in my mind.

My......... NO!

No no no no no no no no no!!

I run even though it it is difficult. My heart is beating so fast. Oxygen is hard to get. Blackish small circles are appearing in my eyes. It is slowly darkening my sight. And tears fell from my eyes.

Finally I broke free from their chaos and a new destruction shatter my heart and mind into pieces.

No no no no no no no no no!!!

I run and hug them

There were police breaking me free from them but they couldn't, for my hold is extremely tight.

I cried till my eyes hurt and said sorry to them for what I have done. Then a voice, appeared and heard near them..........

"Wake up!"

.

I opened my eyes slowly and saw my mom waking me up

"Why are you crying, my darling?" She hugged me. I was stiff and cannot move my body. But slowly, I was able to move my arm.

I look at my hand and a picture pop up in my mind, a b****y hand, but it suddenly disappeared.

I hugged my mom back and cried in her shoulders. It took me a lot of time to cool down. My mom was patiently waiting for me to tell her what happened.

"Thank you mom" she nodded smiling carefully.

"Another nightmare?"

"Yes" I looked down on my hands

"It's okay if you don't want to tell me" She stand up and continued, "Go downstairs, we will eat after you go down" then she kissed my forehead and turned around to head to the door for exit.

"I love you!" I shouted for my mom to hear.

She turned to me and,

"I love you too, darling" and she closed the door leaving me all alone once again.

I don't like my dreams, all of them but I truly despise and abhor this nightmare. I hate this curse. A Curse that enters dream, that enters your deepest part of yourself and your fears. They enter it and turn it to dreams.

I stand up and took the glass on my table. After, I readied to go down.

I was on the edge and at the highest stair when I saw them already on the table for diner. They were laughing and talking. My sisters and parents are there, all present. I was the only one missing. I took my time watching them while taking the stairs one by one. A tear fell from my eye down to my cheek. I wiped it with my hand and smiled because we are complete.

Finally I was at our dinner table and immediately hugged my father and,

"I love you, dad" I did not able to let him speak because I hugged my mother next,

"I love you, mom" then to my older sister

"I love you ate" lastly, to my younger sister.

"I love you, sister"

I took a seat and sat down. When I lift up my head, they were all looking at me confuse....

"Are you fine?"

I laughed

"Yes, of course" then my father turned to speak

"What happened?" He asked me with concern

"Nothing" and I smiled. They were still concern and in confuse state but I talk,

"Let's pray and eat!" I clapped my hands once.

Then we prayed together to thank for the food and for all the blessings we have receive today. And we started eating and hanging out together.

I look at them one by one and cried silently because we are here together......

Because nothing happened to them. Because we are a whole and complete family.
