Goodbye Mother

"What vulgar words' son! Come and see me, damn it! I don't have all day for you to be making jokes about me.

Melisa shouts, and she gets a big mouth for hearing such an atrocity from her son.

Just then, Itoshi finds Melisa in the back room to his right.

"Hi mom, you... you're still in a hospital bed."

Said Itoshi watching his mother, her long black hair with blonde tips and blue eyes.

"Yes, you must already know what I am currently going through, don't you? Since you found out by the affair in Yuriko's world, where you use it to rest in your exhausting moments or other purposes."

Said Melisa to Itoshi, and he is in shock at her knowledge about the existence of Yuriko's world.

"What do you mean? By the way, do you know what I do in Yuriko's world? What is she telling you? Just warning that this is all a personal thing between me and her...so if you know anything, tell me now."

Said Itoshi grabbing his hands on Melisa's bed, wanting answers about what she knows about Yumiko's world where Itoshi uses it for personal purposes that no one should know.

"First, why would I be interested in your silly little world? You are already 18 years old, emancipated, you already pay your own bills, your own house, and your current school where you only have one more year to go, all of this doesn't interest me... so don't get into this thinking that I know everything because I'm not a scion of my own son who already has his own life.

Melisa retorts to Itoshi, and he starts having a stroke from hearing all that from her.

He falls hard to the ground and is shaking like crazy.

"My goodness gracious, Itoshi, you need to learn how to handle dialogue like that, because if you don't..."

Said Melisa, but Itoshi quickly appeared in front of her again, and he starts to duck.

"I'm sorry mom! I didn't mean to talk to you like that, okay? I was just trying to be polite to you because I don't want you to worry about me easily in case something happens to me, and I will know how to handle myself from now on!"

Itoshi says to Melisa, and she keeps her face down without saying a word.

At this, he gets confused and starts looking deeper into Melisa's low expression.

"Rest assured, son, I still care about you as a mother even if you can manage on your own."

Said Melisa, smiling at Itoshi, and he is confused by what she said.

"Why do you worry about me, mother? Now you are with cancer, you need to worry is about yourself..., not me."

Itoshi said, and he sits down next to Melisa, holding her hand gently.

"Son, you know one thing that mothers, and you, don't have? It's something that even our children can't understand yet because they don't have children to take care of and understand this family mind of ours."

Melisa asks, looking at Itoshi and holding his hand.

"What do you have that I don't have yet?"

Asks Itoshi to Melisa, and all white space begins to appear, on screens of Itoshi's past.

"Watch that, watch all these screens, see? It's you from a baby and from your entire childhood."

Said Melisa, enjoying herself with Itoshi's memories, and he starts walking about the room and seeing all the images in his mind that are memories that he has witnessed and lived.

"But I don't understand, what does this mean, mom? They are just memories of me as a child and baby."

Replies Itoshi pointing to the screen where Itoshi from the past is eating a plate of food, and he unintentionally lets the food spill onto his clothes.

"I heard a certain phrase that I saw in a movie, and it is a phrase that I keep with me always...it is referring to the father, but I also wanted to bring up the mother in life because the two are the pillars for the child to have a great development."

Said Melisa, and she starts to raise her finger pointing at Itoshi.

"A mother protects. That's what gives her purpose."

Answers the mother and Itoshi runs out of things to say about her sentence and out of nowhere a tear starts to fall from him.

"In our whole lives, mothers will always look at their children as if they are children still or a dear baby that we care so much for, we just want them to be okay and not have the same hard life that we had and that in the next generations, you can change that with others and not go through what I went through...son, I love you very much, and I will always love you for your whole life."

Answers Melisa, and she lowers her hand, smiling into Itoshi's face.

"I love you too mom, now I understand what you meant about all this..."

Replies Itoshi, but he notices something about her after she lowers her hand on the bed.

Her body simply stands still and she is no longer breathing.

Itoshi's face looks shocked, and he walks over to his mother.

"Mom...is everything okay, Mom...wake up!"

Itoshi starts running to his mother, and she doesn't wake up anymore and her smile is still stamped on her face.

"MOTHER! WAKE UP PLEASE! GET A MOVE ON, MOMMY! DON'T LEAVE ME NOW!!! MOM!!!"

Itoshi screams intensely, begging his mother to wake him up, but she no longer reacts, and her body simply disappears from the Umbilical Plane.

At this, Itoshi returns to the real world, and he wakes up in the early morning watching all this happen.

He starts to cry in bed, but he wipes his tears away with his hands.

"Mom, I will miss you...your fight was well deserved, goodbye."

Itoshi said, and the whole scene goes dark.
