‘Tsuki-chan..’

Huh? Who is calling my name..? I silently thought as I looked around in the darkness I am currently in right now. There is no one with me right? Or there is? I whimpered a little, stopped walking and stand where am I right now, not daring to make a move. You will never know what will happen the next moment you take a step.

‘Tsuki-chan.. Do you remember us..? Tsuki-chan..?’

[Show me your face only then I can say whether or not I remember you..] I said softly , answering to the weird callings. This person somehow knew my name. It’s not that I don’t mind how he/she knew my name..just..I hate that I can’t see the person’s face.

[Please..please show yourself..] I plead helplessly in the dark, now sitting on the floor, hugging my body helplessly. I whimpered, looking forward, as if anticipating something to happen. Just anything, even a flash of light would do.

Just then , I felt a pat on my head and I let out a loud gasps, swatting away the hand that pat me on the head and looked up, expected to see that person’s face who knew and called out my name earlier. Unfortunately, I saw no one but darkness. I whimpered and my hand reaches out, towards the person’s direction, based on my instinct. [Please..show me..reveal yourself.  I don’t like darkness at all..please…] I whimpered helplessly.

‘Tsuki-chan..’ Said the voice ever so softly, so lovingly, as if comforting me and telling me that everything will be fine. I looked up at the voice, ‘We..will meet one day, right? We misses you so much, Tsuki-chan..’ said the voice once more. I tilted my head to the side ever so slightly, not getting the meaning behind the said words.

As If the person is smiling, the voice said once more, ‘When we meet, you will remember the real you.. Please wait a little more longer.. Please..Don’t leave us anymore..’ and the voice slowly fade away in a distant. Panicked, I immediately stand up on my two feet and begin to run, not knowing the exact reason why am I doing so.

[Wait.. wait! Don’t go!] I remember shouting at the person , telling that person not to go, pleading at that person. Before I woke up to the sudden chirping of the little birds on the tree branch outside my window.
