Yesterday i had a dream. not just any dream, but A dream. A BAD dream. A nightmare. A dream that made me cry in my sleep. cry when i woke up. run crying to my sister. THAT kind of dream. a dream that i have never once had. THE dream. I hate that dream. i hope it never ever happens again. now, let me tell you about my dream.
I sat at my bed with my sister, then suddenly, my cousin came. he sat beside me and we started talking like we always do. no awkward pauses, just crap all the way. then, he broke the news to me. he died just two days ago. i stared at him. he was a spirit here to visit me?
'because no one wanted you to be upset.'
he opened last two days star newspaper. there it was, pictures of the car accident. blood. i couldn't bring myself to believe it was all happening. nowonder mum and dad went to aunties house today. no wonder. that was what i thought. we sat there on the bed and chatted, for hours in fact. and then suddenly, one shadow appeared. that of a man. i couldn't see that man, but his shadow was there. he bowed to me and talked to my cousin. well, at least the shadows were talking. My cousin looked at me.
'I have to go.'
'are you ever coming back?' i asked.
'no, i can't.'
And then we hugged each other, like we always do after a visit.
'you know, i love you as a brother.'
'i know' he replied, and then he disappeared into thin air.
'are you ever coming back?' i asked.
'no, i can't.'
And then we hugged each other, like we always do after a visit.
'you know, i love you as a brother.'
'i know' he replied, and then he disappeared into thin air.
i stood there, unsure of what just happened. and then i started crying, and i woke up. i stared at the ceiling, feeling tears streaming down my face. i didn't even bother to wipe them away, no, i wanted to just lie there. i got up and looked at the clock. gosh, it was already two. my sis, li ee was still in the study room doing her work talking on the phone. i came in the room and sat down and started crying to her, telling her what happened. she, being the caring sister, put down the phone and comforted me. but even so, i still kept crying. i calmed down and started talking abouts oemthing else, but tears still kept streaming down my face. a shock that couldn't be rid of in a jiffy. God. i was so relieved to know it was but a dream. i don't know what i would do without my cousin. he's like
The brother i always had
