Delusions

24

The girl looked at the clear-looking sky. His eyes were closed as the sunlight crept through the window and shone on his pale face, he really enjoyed the warm sunlight. His eyes opened forcefully as a memory appeared in his head. His heart... refused to believe in a reality he never expected. Is he still dreaming? Even he did not understand what was happening to him. He was tired, but his brain kept forcing him to keep thinking.

His head was still heavy, yet he did not want to linger in this dull hospital. The girl clutched the barrier tightly as her gaze twitched, her body trembled, and her legs felt soft. The girl tried to walk limped towards her bed, but her body collapsed on its own. The girl grimaced softly as her body hit the floor quite hard. He tried to get up with both hands as a crutch. But again his body fell.

“Jane, why is this?”

Someone raised his frail body with his firm hands. Jane raised her head, she saw Tomy's worried face.

“I want to go home.” Jane said softly.

Tomy lays Jane's body on the hospital bed. “Iya, we'll be home later.”

“Why not now?” ask Jane in a bored and upset tone.

“I'll make up for your medicine first,” said Tomy, his hand rubbing Jane's head slowly. After that Tomy immediately went out from in front of Jane, making the girl exhale slowly.

Jane rubbed the gravestone that wrote the name of the person. His eyes stared at the mound of earth before him with an uncertain feeling. I don't know, Jane felt her chest so tight that she couldn't shed a tear. Jane just kept quiet while wiping the grave ground covered with green grass that felt soft.

“Why are you asking like that?” Tomy scrunched his forehead confused.

“While I just had a dream, if Dad is waiting for me to go home.” Jane smiled with her head down.

Tomy pulled Jane's chin with her index finger, making Jane's face look up. Tomy stared gently at the hazel iris, Jane blinked her eyes once. Jeez, Tomy misses the plain face in front of her. Ah, seeing that face alone had already made her lips pull upwards.

“You know? When your father left, you said that too.” Tomy rubbed the cheek of the girl in front of him who was already flooded with tears.

“That you need to know .. You are never alone. There was me, Mother Riska, and the other orphanage children. We are your family! We love you so much!”

Jane immediately buried her face in the chest of Tomy's field. This time for some reason, her tears flowed easily. Tomy rubbed Jane's hair slowly. He kissed the tip of his head, he hasn't done this in a long time.

“I miss you, Jane.”
