"She said goodbye"
Is there someone in your life that you hold on tight but suddenly they stopped on holding onto you?
Did someone just left you and didn't give you any last words?
Life is full of roller coasters that brings you up and down
It sometimes makes you dizzy because you can't take it anymore and it's too much

"Babe"
I was sitting outside the ICU and was waiting for mom to wake up when someone called me
"I brought food" Leo smiled
He always brings me food because it's the only thing that makes me very happy
Little did he know, he's also the reason why I smile everytime he brings food
Seeing him happy also makes me very happy that I feel like I just left the whole earth
Sometimes, I just want to leave the world, leave all my problems, and just run away
I hope those things are possible, I hope those things exists
"Thank you" I gave him a smile
"It's not big deal, I like seeing you happy"
Cupid shoot an arrow in my heart again and made me fall for Leo deeper
"and now she's blushing" he whispered while touching my cheeks
I felt how hot my cheeks were and that made me shy because he saw my cheeks blushed like that
"Mom has not been awake for days, I'm getting worried" I randomly said while looking at her though the glass window
He gave me a warm hug to give me comfort and to give me a sign that I am not alone and that there is still hope
"I'm sure that your mom will wake up, just don't lose hope and always remember that I am and will always be here for you" he looked straight in my eyes while saying this
Leo helped me a lot and I appreciate how his parents agreed for him to stay in the hospital with me
"Now eat, eat and eat to be happy"
He pointed his two index finger on the tip of his smile, twisting them
Leo went home hours ago to get clothes and some pillows for me to feel comfortable while sleeping
I was alone looking at mom and was praying for her to wake up and for her fast recovery when I felt very sleepy
I fell asleep and then woke up minutes later, what I saw was impossible to happen
I saw mom by my side as I awoke, she gave me a smile and was patting my head
"Mom" I said
I then started to cry when I touched her face while tears were running from her eyes down to her cheeks
"Is this real mama?" my voice broke trying to hide my tears
"I'm sorry anak, I really am" she said
Tears started to fall from my eyes down to my cheeks when I heard her say sorry to me
"Why are you saying sorry mama? We can go home now  since you're awake, you're wide awake mama" I said
Her tears rushed on running as she heard what I said and that made me cry more
"I'm sorry for leaving you so soon anak, mahal na mahal kita anak"
"I'm sorry for leaving you so soon darling, I love you so much sweetie"
There I woke up to see my mom's heart rate go crazy and the doctors and nurses rushed to go and revive my mom inside
I stood up and went near the ICU window then Leo arrived
"Love, what happened?" he asked while sounding really worried
He looked at the window and was confused why I was so calm seeing my mom getting revived
Minutes passed and I saw the straight line in my mom's heart rate
That was when I could not hold my tears back anymore
I fell down my knees and cried after realizing that my mom left me
"I'm sorry ma'am----"
"MAMA" I shouted
I don't know what to do anymore now that mom gave up on fighting
"No no no" I kept repeating and still can't move on from my mom's death
My mom was my bestfriend, my crying shoulder, my gossip buddy, my everything
She's all that I got and now she left me too?
***
"Mama"
It was father's day and our school told us to bring the most powerful and superman-like Dad to school tomorrow
"Why are you here Prisha, do you have a father?" my classmates laughed at me because I don't have a father
I was about to burst into tears after hearing those hurtful and discriminating words that came out from their mouths
"Anak" mom called me
"Mama" I replied
"Yes, I don't have a father but atleast I have a mom who supports me in anything that I do and she cares for me than your parents even speaks to you" I rolled my eyes to Therese and went straight to mom
Mom always arrives at the right moment, I think it's a thing of hers
I don't have a Papa but my Mama is enough for me to enjoy life and to teach me how to respect people who respects me
My mama always tells me that we may not be rich and we may not have a complete family but I must always remember that I have her and for me, my mama is enough to make a perfect family
Our family is complete and perfect because my mom gives me almost everything she can give me and she loves me more than anything
***
"Babe, come on, you haven't eat anything yet"
It's been 2 weeks since mom died and I ordered them to burry her directly
I haven't eat for 2 weeks too, I locked myself inside my room until I move on from everything that happened
Leo never gave up on me and he never left me too
He lives in my house just to check me and is hoping that he can convince me to come on out and eat
I appreciate Leo so much because he never stopped and never gave up on me
"Please come out for me, babe, please don't leave me"
I hesitated to go outside before but now may be the perfect time to start moving on and to start on living a life without pain
"Stop whining like a baby"
