ELLA AND MICHAEL
She's a Nightmare Doll Falling asleep!
“Now, open your eyes.”
Michael pulled out a small doll and showed it to Ella.
“Sial! What is this rubbish?”
“He's a nightmare doll. If you hold it while sleeping, it will save all your nightmares and eat it all night.”
“Thus, you can sleep well.”
“Very childish.”
“I brought it from home. Originally it belonged to Marco.”
“What do you mean? You gave this secondhand to me?”
“No. I made it myself.”
“Hmm. If it's your handmade, I'll take it.”
“This doll I give you a name, Mozza.”
“Why did you give that name? Is it because of Michael and Marco, and you gave him the name Mozza?”
“Hahaha. We are three brothers. Actually, my brother has nightmares like you. She's been having nightmares since my mother's death.”
“My brother suffered a lot, but I couldn't do anything about it. I can only make her this silly doll.”
“Gosh. However, this doll looks funny when viewed from close.”
“You want?”
“Yes, I want,” replied Ella.
“Good. You can have it. Good night.”
Michael stood up from the stairs and walked to his room to rest.
Ella, who was still sitting on the stairs, saw and held the little doll.
“Mozza?” ella said alone.
In his room, Michael sees his sleeping brother.
He approached his sleeping brother and,
“Kak. Are you sleeping?”
“Really asleep? Huffttt.”
“You smell of liquor. I hate it so much. You smell like liquor. Stinks once.”
Marco turned his back and slept behind Michael.
“Hahaha. Sis. When do we eat ramen where we eat with mom?”
“It's near market entrance.”
“Yes. I know it. You really like ramen from that restaurant, don't you?”
“No. You always say..”
“There is a stuffing of chili and shellfish. The sauce is so good. You're always whining, wanting every day. That's why I always buy ramen every shopping to the market.” cut Marco.
Michael recalls his mother when Marco reminded him.
“Difficult to lose five kilograms. Do not drink soda or eat rice. My weight has dropped 5 kilograms. Extraordinary.”
“Michael's. You should listen to Mom. We must listen to Mother.”
“We have to listen to Mom to be a good person. Our mother knows everything. Our mother knows everything. Don't colds. Don't drink soda.”
Marco continued muttering which made Michael silently cry out shedding his tears.
Michael hugged his brother from behind, and cried silently, so that Marco did not know.

The next day, Michael looks ready to go to work.
Like a husband and wife, Ella drove Michael to the yard.
“Baw my car. Go home as soon as you're done. Play with me.”
Ella pulled out her car keys and gave them to Michael.
“Good. See you later.”
“Hurry home. If it's too late, I'll eat you.”
Michael receives a key from Ella, and leaves in a car.
Arriving at the hospital, Michael rushes to change his clothes and gets ready for work.
It looks like Rose is injecting a special medicine for Roy who is lying in his bed.
After injecting the medicine, Rose meets Michael in the lobby and tells him to change his clothes.
“Nurse Michael, Mr. Roy salivates a lot. Please change the clothes.”
“Good, Bu.”
When Michael changed Roy's clothes, Roy said,
“The woman sings a song.”
“Song? What song?” ask Michael.
“‘Oh My Darling, Clementine.”
“But he is dead. The woman is here.”
“Who is that woman?”
“She's dead, but it's here.”
The woman Roy refers to is his own wife, Ella's biological mother.
