The Pain You Never Know


My name is Date, Makoto. I have been enjoying my time touring at my middle school since it was graduation, so I toured around and watch the view from afar. I am going to miss this school. While I am walking towards our old room, I stumbled upon a girl who was carrying her Canon camera. Luckily, it was not broken. We both apologize for the accident and said our purpose in doing here. I was looking at her brunette ponytail, peachy skin, small, cute face, her sparkling emerald eyes reflecting me. Her voice sang softly in my ears, knowing that will be my favorite music in my life. I shook off my head and go back to where our conversation started.

After a few minutes of talking, we walked towards the gate, then straight to the bus station. This caught me, surprised she was going in the same direction where I was going. I escort her to her home, and we said our goodbyes. Then we parted ways, my mind was full of thoughts and my heart was jumping in excitement. The joy that fills in my heart knowing that I will meet her again. I walked happily towards my home. I greeted my parents, and we ate dinner. Our conversation was fun, and my parents enrolled me in KAIISEL UNIVERSITY. It was the closest school that I was going to attend. It was 20 mins walk from here. We settled the plans and call it for today. I walked towards my room to get my clothes and I went into the bathroom for a quick bath, dry myself up, and put on my pajamas, then I went into my room, lie down on the bed, and think back about the time I spend with a brunette girl until I fell asleep.

A month has passed as my family and I have finished the requirements and my enrollment was a success. To be honest, I was happy that I enrolled in the university and spend my entire 4 years there. While I was walking towards home, my phone vibrating then I pick it up and something was wrong in my heart. I suddenly felt my heart missing when I heard the news. My mind went blank. I couldn't think anything, that my heart will stop at any moment. I read its text and this will be my worst nightmare for the rest of my days.

I spent the entire month in the hospital; the doctors informed me they were in a Comatose State, and their bodies are in a critical situation, the bone fractures are in disarray giving the doctors a hard time fixing it, they were lucky that they survived the horrible car crash, yet their bodies weren't good shape. My heart froze in shock every time I go there. The responsibilities were weighing on my shoulders. I have no job or money. My relatives were busy and trying their best to help me with the hospital bills. I was a part-time worker. I spent my entire days being a waiter, janitor, delivery boy, cashier, any job to different restaurants that offer. After that, got home from the job and take my daily routine; I lie down on the bed. I pray to God that let my parents be alive and free from their suffering. I cried myself to sleep. I don't know anymore, my friends were visiting me daily to see if my parents and I were okay, until that fateful day arrive.

As I was going to my parents' room, I saw multiple doctors and nurses running towards the room where my parents stayed, I quickly realized that they were in life and death situation, I catch them, and they said that wait for me outside of the Operation Room. After 2 hours, I was sitting praying to God that my parents were okay, but those prayers did not answer. I heard the door open and saw two doctors walk towards me and informed me that my parents were dead. My eyes widened, it devastated my heart, my body goes numb and my head suddenly snapped. I fell unconscious where I was standing, causing I fell unconscious where I stand, the two doctors to shout calling for help, after the news about my parent's death, I woke up and saw myself resting in the hospital where my parents passed away, the two doctors were happy to see me well. They informed me that my parents died because they cannot handle the pain and the bones leading them to blood leaking all over their bodies.

I cried silently, and the two doctors placed their hands on my shoulders as support.

(2 weeks later)

Pain, that is all I can say. The pain in my heart was still present. I was thankful to my uncle's friend that he drove me to the court to see what results from the man's reckless driving, as the trial carry out. We head home and prepare for the funeral, next day and my uncle was resting in the house while the visitors were visiting my parents' funeral, their friends, acquaintances, and also their loved ones. They said their condolences to us as they were back and forth to see my parents for one final time, as days goes by and we are all standing on my parents' grave while the priest pray for them for their last day here on earth in time to say goodbye to the people who were living here on earth. As the priest finished his sermon and prayers to my parents to reunite with God and now the people who were part of my parents' life were giving their speeches on how they spent their time together when they were still alive. As time goes by, we said our last goodbyes to them as we are going to part ways. Many people left one by one until I am alone. I look at my parents' grave; I cried again and said my last goodbye. I called it for today and went home alone.
