When we lose someone that we love, it felt like there is some part of our life that is dead. We actually felt so much sadness when an important thing was lost. When we lost something, it felt that our life will be incomplete, but what I felt was more than that when one of the most special people passed away. I was his niece. He is my uncle. He was my second father actually, he was always at my side every time I had problems. He was the one who comforted me in times that I don't feel okay. He assured me that he will never leave. I hold on that promise. I even told him that once he will leave, I will make sure that I will give him a punch. We were so close, too close that no one could separate us. He was with me all the time. In a time of laughter and sadness. He was my hero. He always saves me from danger and always covers up my mistakes.
We had lots of plans for our future. And that made me really feel happy. Until one time, a nightmare happened.
The year 2015, may 6. Early in the afternoon when we had some fun in the house. I was wondering because uncle was so happy and at the same time it felt like he is saying goodbye. After the fun, we headed straight home. I was in the middle of my sleep when someone called and told me the words that I thought I will ever hear. He is dead. I felt like I was crashed into tiny pieces. I couldn't move. I'm only dreaming, right? Yes, I'm just dreaming. Those are the words that I wanted to believe. But my tears suddenly run down on my face when I saw his dead body. He was not moving and he was as cold as an ice I couldn't speak, no words came out on me. My parents tried to convince me that I should just accept the truth that he is not here anymore and that he could not.be here anymore.I felt so betrayed.He betrayed me.He lied to me. He said he will never leave me but then he left and there's nothing else that I could do.
Until that day, I considered that day as my worst nightmare for I lost the most important person in my life. The person I love. Even now I still can't accept it but all I can do right now is to move on and look for the future alone. During his burial, I promised that I will make everything that we planned, I will someday make it come true. That's at least the least I could do.
