Overslept

“ Would I have been freed from this miserable life if only I was in that car with my parents… If only I didn’t overslept… IF ONLY…… IF…….! Not like it has any point in criticizing it now anyway!.....”

“My thoughts…… again it makes me realize…. How different they are from me, as if it’s a different person…. I’m… just a facade–!”

As I remember, it was the month of March, or it was April? Not like it really matters anymore.

 I was already a High school first year student at that time, full of himself and always eager to try out new things you know!

My school was starting from the next week so I was enjoying my last days as best as I could!

On a certain day, we were suppose to visit Grandma, by we I refer my family by the way. Umm….. I can’t remember the reason or wait…..! Yes! My parents never told me the reason…..

I, as I told before, wanted to enjoy my last days the best which was only possible by staying at home soooo….. I just overslept– or may say I acted to be.

It was not much problem to leave me alone at home, I was a high school student after all, but they also were suppose to return by the Dawn so yeah, I don’t see the problem in leaving me alone.

I Overwhelmingly enjoyed the day till the evening.

“ I wished everyday was like this!”

A stupid boy asked for a stupid wish! If I knew my wish was going to be fulfilled then maybe….. I would have asked for tons of money? Or maybe a lovely girlfriend….. Or maybe…. safety for my ‘FAMILY'!

It was already Dawn but my parents were yet to come.

“ They are still not here yet… It’s Sunday after all. Traffic must be heavy.”

I assured myself while playing a game. I lost that game anyway….. what was it’s name again–?

“ Oh, I’m hungry!”

I grabbed some snacks and drinks and was ready to lose an another round!

6 p.m.….

7 p.m.….

8 p.m…..

9 p.m…..

“ They are still not here…. Is it not too late already!? I mean they were suppose to reach here by Dawn but it’s this late already!”

I was a little worried I suppose? Well I was worried from past 7 but…. It Pretty late you know!

“ Let’s play once more….!”

10 p.m…..

I ended up playing four more games until I finally won!

Ahh.... I won…. Alas!.... They are still not here…..”

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

I thought looking up at the clock. My stomach was rumbling from all the hard work I did earlier!

“ I’m hungry…. Again!”

I looked at the refrigerator for something to eat, but all I found was packed food there.

“ Oh, noodles!”

I like noodles just in case you didn’t knew.

I kept some water in the boiler and waited patiently for it to boil.

In the process, I was still worried where my parents are. More likely you could say I was angry for staying out this late leaving their son behind all alone at home.

The water boiled in a minute. I then poured the hot water on the cup noodles. I don’t know if it was my imagination or what but I felt as if something was missing….

“ Ahh! It’s egg!”

I quickly got an egg from the refrigerator and then kept it on boiler for about 5 minutes.

“The more you boil, the more softer the egg becomes!” This was what mother told me.

10:10 p.m…..

The noodles were ready but…. Yes Mother and Father were still not here.

“ I’m getting worried now…. Should I call grandma already?”

Father was not answering the phone while it was useless to call mother as her phone was sent to repair. Yet I tried to call her phone but it was Switched off.

I decided to wait until I finish eating this cup noodles I cooked in last 10 minutes. I did so just in case my parents arrived just after I finished eating.

10:15 p.m.

My cup noodles was already finished but they were yet to come. It’s getting serious I guess!

I went to my room calling Grandma in my way.

“ Hello, Okarun residence. Oh, Lugh– Yes…. Hiroshi and Mikato? They went home back early around 6’o clock saying that you were alone at home. Did they not have reached home till now?”

“ Ah, no they are not here yet…. Yes– Maybe they got stuck in dad’s work…. again…. Thank you for informing, ugh, miss? I’m hanging up.”

“ They went back on 6? They are however not here yet!”

I somehow was not getting any nice feelings about it. However, I putted a leash on my thoughts which was running at it’s top speed, 100 wild thoughts per second.

“ I–It’s a trouble! W–where could they have been!?”

I questioned myself.

“ They were out of home before too regarding dad’s job but….. it’s sudden, no, too sudden this time…..!”

I leaned on my bed's wall using my phone, waiting for my parents to reach home till now. I did not loser hope, I am strong willed person after all!

I tried to stay awake as much as possible, even leaving the door open for them but in few hours of waiting I was swallowed by sleep.

On morning, the first thing I did was reach downstairs. My mind was completely empty and it took some time to realize that I already am heading towards downstairs. It was automatic, without my knowledge. It was my unconscious I guess?

Weird…. There were peoples on the house, many of them!

“ P–Peoples!? What are they doing here!?”

They were dressed in black, a handkerchief in a hand and tissue, sobbing while facing towards the living room….

My thoughts were running wild again…. At that time I thought how could I ever think that about my parents but there was nothing else which made an proper explanation.

I quickly rushed towards the living room to prove my thinking wrong but….

“ N–N–NOOooooo–!” A women in white hairs screamed hugging two corpse, you know whose.

There were my parents, Yes ‘DEAD’ indeed!
