Chapter 49- A bus

The phone shrill woke Juni up from his deep slumber, he hasn't left the house for four straight days now since Carmen left the house. he hadn't heard from her at all except when the nanny came to pick up a few of Derek's stuff and not even her was aware of where Carmen was going to. He reassured her that it was fine thought she left awkwardly, after she left, reality finally dawned on how about how much he lost the moon while crying over the stars. He wondered if his life was not at the end of his wits. he who had kept moving forward slowly before losing his family but now he was completely at the end of the road .at least that's what he believed while he slept, ate and wallowed around awaiting his own death until the call that woke him from his slumber that evening

"Hello." he said without into the phone speaker checking the caller Id

"Hey. you okay?" a voice boomed back and Juni recognised that it belonged to his busy childhood friend Vee, who worked at the old people's home where his mother was being cared for, at first Juni was thought she was calling about the bills and was about to argue that he had paid for a year in advance but alas that was not the case "Heyy Vee, yeah im okay and if you are calling about the bills made a down pay. - "he started to to say sounding far from okay though but he was interrupted

"Wait.no.no. not at all, plus you don't sound okay.is something wrong? How's carmen? "Vee replied

Juni sighed "I'm fine at least I will be "he paused not wanting to go into details about his miserable life which of course his friend had not heard about on the phone ", however, he added "and about Carmen, can we discuss that later? Is something wrong or stuff? 'he asked with a tired voice, knowing Vee, he knew she wouldn't let the matter about how Carmen is go scot free so he just reassured her he will tell her about it later despite the fact that he didn't want to talk about it,

Vee sighed like she didn't believe him but went ahead to state her purpose anyways "we have lots to talk about but later. Nothing is wrong since this is to be expected anyway still, it's really sad, it's your mother, Juni" she concluded with a sad sigh

Juni body rose slightly in alert "what do you mean it's sad and to be expected? What happened to my mother, Vee? she's alive right? "he asked rapidly as fast as he could

"yeah Juni, she fine but she has been relapsing lately and the Doctor thinks she doesn't have much days on earth anymore, they advise that you should come and bring her home to spend the last of her days with you.im so sorry, J" she concluded employing the use of his initials

"Oh my God, no no no. this is not happening today, im on my way "He said standing up grabbing a shirt and his car keys slamming the front door behind him as he bounded out.
