Reunion with Parents

"Mom... Dad...I...I can't able to explain how happy I'm to see you two here. Why do you two leave me in that world alone ?"

Sotean said while sobbing.

Sotean's Mother smiles and thinks.

"I wish that you also know about him. If you know that he is also with you all this time then I know, you never cry like this. I hope you'll find him soon."

While hugging him. His Mother smiles again then she said.

"Sorry, Sotean. You know...we can't able to change what is already decided. Maybe it was also decided by God that I and your father had to die because of a car accident... But now we're here. So, why don't we go to the amusement park where we used to go with you."

His mother said with a smile.

His father smiles and said.

"Hum... That's a good idea. Don't you think, Son ?"

He said joyfully.

Sotean removes his tears and smiles then said.

" Yeah... It's great. Let's go then."

Then they all walk to an amusement park which is some distance away from their home.

It is kinda difficult to walk in topsy turvy streets. But Sotean manages to do so. By the way, It's not difficult for his parents to walk.

When they reach, Sotean to himself while panting.

* Panting * " It Is that difficult to walk on that strange road. But finally... We're here."

He looks back at his parents they are standing behind him without a single sweat.

He looked confused by seeing this.

He asked his mom and dad.

"Mom...Dad...It's strange but you two look just fine. And here I'm covered with sweat and tiredness. Why's that ?"

He asked while making a confused expression.

His father said.

"Well, we're adults and you're just a kid. That's why he he he."

He then smiles at Sotean.

His mother said with a smile.

"Now we're here so let's go and enjoy some."

"Yes."

Sotean said with an ethusiastic voice.

Then they went to Carousel, Roller coaster, Bumper car, Log flume, Bumper boats, Rockin' Tug, Sky coaster, Rock-o-plane.

After that Sotean went to sit on the bench at that park with his parents.

"Hah... I'm exhausted."

He said while panting a little but also smiling while seeing his parents sitting beside him.

"Exhausted? Now? Come on, here's still some rides left. "

His father said joyfully with a smile.

"Oh come on honey, let him rest here for some time."

His mother said to his father.

His father smiles and said.

"He He, Okay."

"Just...a... little...rest."

Sotean said while panting.

His mother smiles at him.

***Both his mother and father are also so happy to see him again. So, it's common for them to smile at him ***

Sotean stopped panting.

"You know mom, I made some friends back there."

Sotean said with a smile.

"Oh really ?"

His mother said excitedly.

"Yeah...Not that much just two of them but still they are my best."

Sotean said while closing his eyes.

He sees the image of Sereka and Hoshima.

He smiles.

"Two friends? Are they boys or girls ?"

His father asked him with a smile.

"Both are girls."

Sotean said while smiling.

"Oh...You Ladykiller. He He He He."

His father said while teasing him.

"Honey !"

His mother said to his father.

"One is my girlfriend... Sereka. She means everything to me. Another one is my best friend... Hoshima. She is caring and loving. I also care about both of them too much. After all, I got some people for me there."

Sotean said with a peaceful smile.

"That's my boy. Finally, he dates someone. What a relief."

His father said with a sound of relief.

"That's great to hear that."

His mother said with a smile.

"Mom... Dad... Why don't you go with me back to our home? You'll see how beautiful Sereka is. You know...I think sometimes that it will be great if we two get married in the future, right ?"

Sotean said while smiling.

"He He He He ."

His father laughs with a smirk.

His mother while hearing about getting back home feels kinda sad. But when she heard about Marriage. She looks happy again.

"Well then, Now let's go to the Ferris Wheel, it will be our last ride."

His mother said with a fake smile.

Some tears are also visible in her eyes.

"Yeah. Let's go."

His father said with a fake smile.

Some tears are also visible in his eyes.

"Okay. Let's go then."

Sotean said enthusiastically.

He doesn't see their tears.

On the Ferris Wheel, Sotean is sitting on the left side while his parents are sitting on the right side.

"Mom...Dad...Why don't we sit together? Why are you sitting next to me ?"

Sotean asked confusingly.

His parents looking towards down so that their tears are not seen by him.

"W-Well, because the seats are not that big for three-person to sit together. That's why. Right, Honey ?"

His mother said then asked his father for confirmation.

"R-Right."

His father said. His voice is kinda low.

They both trying not to cry in front of Sotean.

"W-Why are your voices look kinda different ?"

Sotean asked them in a little panic.

"Sotean. My dear, I hope you understand."

His mother said in a low voice.

"That you have to go back to your world."

His father said in a low voice.

"What !? What you guys are talking about ?"

Sotean asked panickily.

"Let me explain this to you, my dear.

His mother is explaining to him.

"Wait. How did you know that I'm a Time Traveller ?"

About Sereka, About your Relationship with her, About Hoshima, And how you manage to make her your best friend instead of girlfriend, About Orthonoxmus, And about the Place of Infinite Possibilities...We know everything..."

His mother is explaining to him.

Sotean look shocked to hear that.

Some tears are coming out of his eyes.

"...We're here to give you some happiness that we can't give you in that world. That's why from heaven we're back to this world for some little time. After that, we have to go back too..."

His mother is explaining to him.

"But Mom..."

Sotean said while crying.

His mother kneel towards him and touches his cheek with her right hand and said.

"...My dear, You're a big boy now. You have to understand the situation. We can't go back there because we died for more than 5 years. You have Sereka, Hoshima, Orthonoxmus. Also, In the future, you will get more friends. So, Don't cry. Sereka is still worrying about you and crying continuously for your return. You love her, right? So don't leave her. Because she'll be your first responsibility in the future. You understand, right ?"

Her mother explains then asked.

She is also crying but silently.

"Hm..."

Sotean nodded his hand while crying.

"Don't cry, my son. We are not leaving you. Indeed, we can't return with you but we're always watching over you. So, don't cry. My dear."

His father said with a gentle smile.

He is also crying silently but he didn't let it seem to Sotean.

"You know, In the future, you find someone so close to you now and still protecting you from behind the curtain."

His mother said with a smile then hugs him.

"Huh ?"

"Well then, lie down Sotean's body here."

Orthonoxmus said to Sereka.

"Hum."

Sereka respond.

Sereka and Hoshima lie down his body to the bank of the lake.

"I hope everything will be fine."

Hoshima said worriedly.

"Don't worry."

Orthonoxmus said in a serious voice.

Sotean seems to gain consciousness.

His fingers start moving, he frowns his eyebrows.

Hoshima said surprisingly.

"Is he gain consciousness ?"
