Trauma

Dan

While running, I turned my head to the side to look to the front door to signal my dad who would probably be giving an interview. But Dad wasn't there. The door was open.

Police? Why were the cops at our house? What was going on? I was so confused.

I heard some people calling out my name and trying to chase me. But I kept running. I just had to go to my parents. I had enough for today.

I dashed into the kitchen which opened through the back door and towards my parents room.

"Mom, Dad!? Where are you?" I called.

They weren't in the room.

I searched for them in the entire floor then I saw the cops and other people moving towards the first floor.

I followed them. They were definitely going to meet my parents.

They were going towards the 'Meeting room', where dad and mum would hold meetings and I wasn't allowed.

I would ask sometimes what did they discuss about? They only replied that it's only work stuff, company matters.

Were they having a meeting with the cops?

I got in to meet the biggest trauma in my life.

I felt the ground slipping under my feet.

I stood there still while I lost my senses.

I felt like I couldn't breathe.

"MUM, DAD!!!!" I cried

They were lying on the ground. Unconscious.

People around me tried to stop me but I had to see.

I couldn't belive what I saw.

The world seemed to stop.

I felt some hands grabbing me, trying to pull me away from the room.

Why didn't they understand?I had to wake my mom and dad. Why weren't they taking them to a hospital?

I was struggling to break free from their clutches. It was then when I saw blood. Lots of blood.

Flowing under my mother's and father's body.

I felt like someone ripped my heart out of my body. My body so heavy I couldn't move. I fell to the ground on my knees.

I howled. This couldn't be true. Its just my worst nightmare. I need to wake up I thought. I pinched myself, slapped my cheeks hard but it didn't go. I wasn't on my bed, dreaming. This was real.

My parents left me. They were gone.

They died.

I fell unconscious.

I heard Nancy screaming. I felt someone picking me up but I couldn't move.

I wanted to go with my parents. I wanted to stay with them.

Why did they leave me alone?

I closed my eyes believing they'll never open up again.

Wishing that maybe now is the time that even if they do open, it all turns out to be a bad dream.

A nightmare I never want to experience again.

I woke up to find my self in an unfamiliar surrounding.

It was the hospital bed.

"Master, are you alright?" I heard Nancy's voice in a worried tone.

I looked to the side to face her.

I felt like I couldn't speak but I gathered all my strength to ask something I didn't have the guts to.

I just didn't want to hear it but I had to know for sure.

"Nancy, Mom and Dad?" Its all I could speak.

She shook her head and started sobbing again.

She was in pain too. She was living with us even before I was born. She never gave us a chance to complain. She was our family member.

"How?" I gained the courage to ask with so much pain in my heart that I couldn't describe.

"Some men came to meet them today at 12pm, master.

Master John seemed to know them. He toom them to the meeting room and Madam asked me to prepare tea for 5 and then asked me to go and buy some things from the mart.

When I returned I saw them like.....

that.... And... the men had left...

I didn't see them, master,"she said and started crying with even more intensity.

I knew who they were. But I had to be sure. I had to find out who did this!

When I was discharged, I went back home to look for clues or any information which could lead to those men. I looked everywhere, my parent's room, the study room, my room, every corner and I found my mom's diary hidden with the toys and the stuff I didn't use anymore but had many memories linked to them.

Probably mom knew I'd look for these stuff for memories so she hid it here.

I opened the diary to find a letter.

I opened it up hastily.

"Dear Dan, If you find this letter we probably aren't there with you anymore and we're so sorry to leave you like that but don't worry, son. What's gone is only the mortal body. The body is just a glass vessel. Its alright if it breaks, the contents it holds matter.

The soul is immortal. We're always with you in your heart, in your memory. Whenever you close your eyes and think of us we'll be there.

Son, we have an important task for you. I know the circumstances you'll go through will be very harsh for you. But you're brave, our son.

There are very wicked people in this world, protect yourself.

Here is a list of contact details and addresses of the people you'll need in your life.

You are not alone. And we love you.

Stay strong.

Yours mom and dad."

Tears were rolling down my cheeks. They didn't just leave me all alone. They protected me, they planned and prepared everything for me and I couldn't even thank them.

But I'll avenge them!!
