He sat up and saw nobody around… He was in a room… A room unfamiliar to him… The room felt so cold…
“Where am I? Where is everybody?” Darryl said softly and trying to get out of where he is… But he can’t move... He tried again and again but every time, he remained… He tried to shout for help but he can’t… Darryl started to panic… “What is going on?” Darryl thought…
He saw an old lady by the door… His vision is so blur, he could not make out who the old lady was... But he knows that the old lady is someone close to him… The image approaches him closer and closer…
Darryl: “Grandma…”
Grandma: “Boy, you doing ok?”
Darryl: “Yes… As long as you are here with me”
Grandma: “I can’t stay long as you know Grandma is old already…”
Darryl: “I know… But I really cannot do without you…”
Grandma: “Nothing is impossible, boy… You should know it… You are a survivor… And I have faith with you… You will lead your life well… And I will always near you… You know it…”
Darryl: “I know… “
Grandma: “Boy, Grandma old liao and need to rest… Sorry I cannot stay long…”
Darryl: “It ok… Grandma, you go home and rest… I will see when I go home tonight…”
Grandma: “Remember boy… Grandma always will be by your side no matter what happen… Goodbye, my dear grandson… Goodbye…” Grandma lean forward and give a light peck on Darryl forehead and within a second, she is gone…
“Darryl… Darryl… Wake up…” a voice coming from nowhere was calling his name…
He opened his eyes and saw Kenny…
Kenny: “Are you ok?”
Darryl: “Dear, I had a bad dream…”
Kenny: “Tell me about it…”
Darryl: “I dreamt that Grandma was died and I didn’t manage to see her one last time… Then the next moment, she was standing in front of me and talking to me…”
Kenny: “Dear… about that…”
Darryl: “She said that she needs to leave already because she is old and need to rest… So I say I see her tonight…”
Kenny: “Dear…”
Darryl: “She even given me a kiss on my forehead… and say goodbye… I can’t wait to see her tonight… Need to tell her this dream…”
Kenny: “Dear… about grandma…”
Darryl: “You know what I better give her a call and inform her that I’m ok… Guess she must be worry about me…”
Kenny: “Dear… Stop… Can you listen to me?”
Darryl: “Can’t you wait? I just want to make a quick call to grandma and tell her I’m ok… I don’t want her to be worry… Looking at her face just now I can tell she is worry… Just let me make the call first…”
Kenny: “No… Stop it… Grandma has passed away this morning…”
Darryl: “What are you talking about? I just saw her…”
Kenny: “Dear… Listen to me… Grandma is gone… You are not dreaming about it… It’s the truth…”
Darryl: “NO!!! Don’t you curse her… She is home right now… I will call her now to prove to you…”
Darryl dialed the number… No answer… He tried again… No answer… and again… Still no answer…
Darryl: “Grandma is not home…”
Kenny: “Do you believe me now?”
Darryl: “Stop it… She may go out with mum… I’ll call mum to prove to you…”
Kenny: “She is not with your mum… She is dead…”
Darryl: “NO!!! NO!!! NO!!! STOP IT!!! SHE IS NOT DEAD!!! She said she will be with me no matter what happen… You liar… GO AWAY!!! I HATE YOU… WHAT HAS SHE DO TO YOU THAT YOU KEEP CURSING HER…”
Kenny: “I am not… You just have to pull it together… She is gone and will not come back… She will be looking after you from above…”
Darryl: “NO!!! NO!!! NO!!! She is just playing a prank on me… I’ll call mum and I’m sure she is with mum…”
Kenny: “Dear, please stop… You are hurting everyone here… She is gone”
Darryl: “NO!!! NO!!! NO!!! I don’t want listen to you… I hate you… Go away…”
Kenny: “Look where you are now… You are in the hospital… You fainted just now… remember? You were in camp and you got a call from hospital… You rushed down but it was too late… Remember…?”
Darryl: “How do you know about my dream…?”
Kenny: “Because it is not a dream… It’s the truth… She is gone…”
Darryl: “No… She is not… Stop playing the prank with me…”
Kenny: “Enough already!!! Look she is gone and you make the decision to not revive her so you know what is going to happen…”
Darryl: “NO… It is just a dream… She will not leave me like that… She will not…”
Just then, all family members walked through the door…
Darryl: “Why are you are here? Where is grandma?”
No answer from them…
Darryl: “Tell me why are all of you here? Who is taking care of grandma? How can you all leave her alone at home… I tried calling her and no one pick up the phone… Can some of you go back to see how she is?”
Still no answer…
Darryl: “What is wrong with you all? I said somebody goes home and see how is she doing?”
Kenny: “Dear… You have to listen to me… Grandma passed away this morning…”
Darryl looked at around the room… Nobody dare to look at him… His nephew comes up to him and gives him a hug… Darryl saw everyone start to cry… Kenny hold on to his hand…
Kenny: “Dear, she is gone…”
Tears was flowing down his cheeks…
“Where am I? Where is everybody?” Darryl said softly and trying to get out of where he is… But he can’t move... He tried again and again but every time, he remained… He tried to shout for help but he can’t… Darryl started to panic… “What is going on?” Darryl thought…
