Sadness

FATOU:

Today is the day the knights are supposed to come back. I heard people cheering for the brave warrior. (I look through the window in the hallway in the 2nd floor, watching people cheering for them makes me happy. However, something seemed off, the Knights won the battle but instead feeling happy, they are gloomy. Is it just my imagination? I walked quickly to welcome my father, Shuzen and the knights' homes. All my family members were already at the entrance).

QUEEN:

Welcomes home, my dears

FATOU:

Welcomes home, Dad, Bro, and everyone.

KING ALPHA:

You all did a splendid job, be proud to be alive and never forget our fallen brothers and sisters.

Live like there's no tomorrow, live to honor them.

FATOU:

(Everyone started to join up with their family and friends. Where is Soji, I bet he is trying to surprise me, but let see who surprises who, I looked for him everywhere but didn't find him, I decided to asks my father).

Dad, where is Soji, (smiling. My father started looking gloomy). Dad, what is wrong

KING ALPHA:

Pause.......... He disappears

FATOU:

What do you mean he disappears.

PRINCE SHUZEN:

Father, let me explains.

You see Fatou, at the last minutes the battle was about end, the enemy released a bom, and he jumped to save some knights that were closer to the bom. That is why we say he disappears because we didn't see his body. some knights say he escaped and some knight say that he was killed before their eyes, and dead

FATOU:

STOP! (my world shattered, I was dull, speechless, my mind went blank and the only word that stock in my mind was "Dead") Hahahahahahahah, he is dead, HE IS DEAD, hahaha hahaha (I went totally crazy. My brother tries to comfort me but I slap his hand away).

Don't touch me.... "DEAD" (the thought hit me again, I drop on my knees and shouted his name as loud as can. I cried endlessly. No one or nothing could stop me, I cried my eyes out. The sky went gloomy as if feeling my pain, and rain comes pouring like it never going to stop).

Two weeks went by

(Fatou was in her room 24/24, she didn't go outside, She didn't eat. She felt like her life has no meaning. Many have tried to talk to her, but she refuses to open the door. Her family began to worry about her).

KING ALPHA:

Open the door or I'm going to destroyed it.

QUEEN:

Don't you dare break the door? Fatou talks to Mom, if something is bothering talk to me, I can't understand you if you don't talk (the door creak open, I opened the door and went in alone).

Fatou, I brought you food.

FATOU:

I don't feel hungry

QUEEN:

"You don't feel hungry", do you realize that you haven't eaten anything for the last few weeks. I'm worried about your health. Get up, and take off the blanket, and talk to me.

FATOU:

Ouch, Mom that hurt. Stop slapping my leg.

QUEEN:

Talk to me
