Always

MOM

Shiro is looking at the sky from his study table and is looking quite sad. The clouds are moving slowly in the bright blue sky and the birds are flying and chirping.

*SHIRO POV*

"Its been 7 years, mom" Shiro says while looking at the photo frame of him with his mom.

Shiro visited the grave of his mother, putting flowers on there.

Shiro is back at home, the home is quiet and dull. Lights are off and Shiro is looking at the home and says, "The home doesn't seems home anymore. Back then, you always come to the door to welcome me, hug me or scold me for coming late." Shiro turns on the lights

Shiro then looks at the awards he achieved for his academic performances. "I remember now... when I was a kid you always scolded me for not studying at all. You always wanted me to become a bright student. Now, when I am a topper... You are not here to see my success." Shiro thoughts...

Shiro is back on his study table and opens a book to read but can't get over the memories of his late mother, his eyes closes. His tears fall into the mathematics book. He then rests his head on tbe table

Shiro opens his eyes and find himself in a child's body underneath a cherry blossom tree and as his opens his eyes he can see his mother's face smiling at him. He realized he was sleeping on her laps. Her mother is singing a lullaby for him and tears are flowing from Shiro's eyes.

A noise of door wakes Shiro up and Shiro realized he was watching a dream. He checks the clock and its 12:00 AM. He went to see if his father is back and saw his father drunk, coming late at home, making tipsy steps he goes all the way to his room. Shiro, "Even dad is missing you, even though he doesn't tell, he is completely broken inside. Mom where are you...? Please come back. Everything is so messed up without you..." Shiro, sheds tears.
