CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN: WE ALL NEED SOMEONE 2

SANG YI'S POV

I couldn't wait for Jiang Hao because I was so anxious so I texted him the places I thought my mom could be at and even assured him that I was okay, we agreed to meet at the last place on the list.

I searched everywhere, from our old home which was nolonger ours but mom used to go there a few times just to stay at it, I also went to my school incase she thought of the middle school me and went to search for her at school...I went to all the places I could think of but my mom just wasn't anywhere," Have you found her?" Alia asked over the phone as I quietly walked away from my middle school," I still haven't found her.." I reply weakly as I sighed and looked around," Where could she have gone?" I asked as tears rolled down my cheeks once again," I don't know what I would do if something happens to her.." I added as Alia comforted me..." Don't worry Sang Yi..iam also on the search we shall get your mom in no time." she replied as I wiped my tears," Be strong.." she added as I agreed and hang up and continued to the last place( The columbarium where my dad's urn is kept) I don't know why I included this place especially since mom hasn't even talked about dad at all these past years because her memories have been mixed up but I sort of felt that it's a place she would have gone.

" Thank you." I said to the taxi driver that dropped me off at the columbarium and paid my fare," Please be here mom." I said as I nervously rubbed my fingers together and proceeded to go inside," Sang Yi!" a voice called out and it turned out to be Jiang Hao's as he came walking fast towards me and then wrapped me in his embrace," Don't worry about anything..iam right here." he whispered as I held him even more tightly," Thanks for coming." I replied as felt a bit more relieved.

We both walked into the columbarium and as I searched through....I saw my mom sitted somewhere," Mom!" I exclaimed as I rushed towards her and gave her a hug," Mom...why did you just live?" I asked as she stared at me blankly,I doubt she even knew how she got there.." Mom.." I called out as she stared at me with tears in her eyes and it wasn't long before she blacked out..." Mom!!" I called out anxiously as Jiang Hao carried her to the car and to the hospital.

" Don't worry..." Jiang Hao said as he held my hands in his.." Why is it taking so long?" I asked my self as I waited outside the room my mom was being examined from," It will be fine.." he replied as we continued to wait.

" Head nurse, is there something wrong with my mom?" I asked nervously," Well we have examined her and there isn't much that's wrong with her..she was just exhausted so she passed out." she explained as I let out a sigh of relief," Your mom...will get better." she comforted me as I agreed and left to go and see her..she was asleep so all I could do was sit besides her and try and keep her company, I just wished she could get better with time.

" Why don't you get some rest...I'll keep your mom company." Jiang Hao said as I immediately declined," It's okay..I'll keep her company.." I replied," Iam not asking you to go home..you can just sleep on that empty bed..have some rest and I'll watch over your mom tonight." he replied as I hesitated but he was quite persistent," Come on.." he said as he led me to the bed and tacked me in.." Have some rest." he said as he passed his hand in my hair," Aren't you tired as well..?" I asked as he declined," Iam okay..now close your eyes and have some rest." he replied as I did exactly as he told me.

When I woke up the next morning, my eyes met with Jiang Hao who was sleeping next to me," Are you up?" he asked as he stretched from his sleep," It's okay..you can have some more rest." I replied as he stood up and declined," Iam okay..." he said as a nurse walked in to check on my mom," Good morning." she said as she walked towards her," How is she?" I asked as she smiled at me," She's coming around.." the nurse replied as I thanked her and proceeded to my mom who was still sleeping..." Get well soon, mom." I said as I kissed her forehead.

I couldn't spend all my time at her nursing home but I made sure she gets devoted care takers, the head nurse said that she was in her period of recovery so I had to keep being hopeful, though I still don't know how she ended up going to the columbarium," Are you okay?" Jiang Hao asked as I turned and smiled at him," Iam good..." I replied as I leaned back and close my eyes.

After a few days, I decided to go back to the Columbarium,I had never gone there since the first time we out my dad's urn in th shelves...i won't say it was because I don't have time or maybe because I hated my dad but I just didn't go there..but seeing that it was the place my mom rushed too even in her condition I needed to come back and atleast say hello to my dad, staring at his urn bought back thousands of memories some sad while some were happy.

" How do you feel?" Jiang Hao asked, he had dropped me off and even insisted to wait in the car for me, I laughed at his question," Why are you laughing?" he asked," You have asked me how am doing and if iam okay for like a million times today.." I replied," Well I want to make sure..." he replied as I wrapped my hands around his neck," Iam fine..so you don't need to worry." I replied as he kissed my forehead," But there is one thing that I really want.." I said as he stared at me curiously...

" Ice cream!!" he exclaimed as we stopped at the icecream parlour," Yes icecream..it's an automatic mood lightener." I replied as we sat down and made our order," I'll have a strawberry and you'll have a ..." I said to Jiang Hao who was destructed and looking around the place," Jiang Hao!" I called out as he welped," I'll have whatever you are having.." he replied as the waitress left to get our order...
