Winter Part 2

"Momma are you okay?" Aurora asked her mother in concern, forgetting everything around them.

Her mother only smiled and hold her tiny hand tenderly. She kissed her little fingers and embraced her lovingly and tightly.

"Yes honey, everything is okay."

"Then why are you crying momma? Are you hurt?" Aurora insisted to her mother as she felt her mother's tears sliding down on her neck. The loving arms around her tighten even more.

"Momma will just miss her sweet little Aurora, thats all baby."

"Are you going somewhere, momma? Will you leave me?" Aurora then faced her mother and was exposed to see the sudden paleness of her mother's skin.

"Momma will never leave you, my sweet. Momma needs to rest but she will never leave you, sweet Aurora. Momma will be everywhere. In the air, the sun, the moon, the sky, the rain, the snow and even in the sea. Momma will always watch you, my dear. And I will be forever in your heart." Her mother said in a hoarse voice.

"Why are you saying that momma? You said you will never leave me." Aurora cried in confused to her mother's words.

"Shhh Dont cry my sweet. Dont cry." Her mother wiped her wet cheeks and kissed both of her eyes, her forehead, her nose, both of her cheeks and lastly her lips.

"Then dont leave me momma" Aurora embraced her thin small arms around her mother's neck.

"I will never, baby. Momma loves you so much, always remember that." Her mother whispered on her ear.

Aurora nodded in return and said, "I love you too, momma." Deep down in Aurora's mind, she feels that something is wrong and something bad will happen but she didn't ask her mother.

Instead, they lay down on the picnic mat and put aside the remaining food that they haven't eat. They stayed there laying until the sky darkened and the first snow, falls from the cloudy sky. Aurora looked at her sleeping mother and tried to wake her but the stillness of her breathing and the sagginess of her mothers arms around her was the indication of her mothers deep slumber. She tried and tried to wake her until they were both freezing in the open garden and the sky was completely dark accompanied by the coldness of her surroundings as well as the falling snow.

Aurora then realized that her mother will never going to wake up again. She now realized that her mothers goodbye was this especial day of her life. But it wasn't especial anymore and it wasn't joyous.

She cried while embracing her mother's cold body.

She cried for the loss of the only person she loved and who loved her back.

She cried for the reality of her situation as being alone.

How could her mother promised not to leave her when in fact, she was already saying goodbye to her?

Why didn't her mother take her?

How could she have left her alone in this cruel world?

What will happen to her now?

Aurora cried her broken heart and the missing piece of her soul until she couldn't take the coldness anymore and passed out.
