" Here are the keys .Just make sure you take care of them as all the key makers are all far from here " the landlady of a suburban house says as she hands the keys to Joel ,with his 6 year old son at his side .The landlady then curves away from Joel and walks out of the house . Joel opens the front door of the house .As he explores his new home ,the house seems like as though it is sad .Or even upset .The furnitures all seem old ,but still in usable condition .The stairs had its paint chipped off a little ,but still seemed structurally sturdy .There were only 2 floors ,a flight of stairs linking them .The top floor has Joel 's and his son 's rooms .Each room had a washroom .Like any other suburban house ,there was an attic above the top floor .The bottom level was where the kitchen ,living room and study room was .As Joel was busy exploring the whole house ,his son had actually run ahead of his father ,wowing here and there even if nothing seemed new or radiant in that house .
Joel came back to the living room where all of his son and his stuff was .He picked up his son 's school bag and a parcel .Halfway reaching his son 's room ,he dropped his son 's school bag ,spluttering out its contents .As he crouched down to scoop up all of its contents ,he stopped as he saw a strange art piece done by his son .It showed a woman with her hair covering her face ,Joel 's son in a child -like drawing beside her .Joel then made his way towards the kitchen with the drawing .His son was pulling and pushing a chair ,giggling as the chair hit the kitchen dining table .He stopped his play when he saw his father appear suddenly at the table ,surprising him . His father asked with a grim expression , "Danial ,can you explain to me this drawing ? " ,showing the drawing . His son ,Danial ,was in utter shock . "Well ,Mummy drew it for me " he timidly replied ,as he was scared seeing his father 's serious expression . "Your mummy ? " Joel said with eyebrows knit together ,making Danial more scared . "Your mother drew this for you ?Did you know that she actually passed away when you were just 10 months old ?How could she actually draw this and give it to you to keep when you were just 10 months old ? " his father said ,raising his voice a little .Danial then felt tears coming through his eyes .He started to cry .Joel ,seeing this went over to his son and comforted him .Danial broke from his father 's comforting embrace and ran out of the kitchen with tears in his eyes ,leaving his father alone there to figure out what exactly was going on .
