Chapter 6:
-I wished my Mum was here-
It was still dark outside. Michael returned to the graveyard however, he didn't enter the tomb, instead he sat only on the cold earthy ground, and his bare upper body leaned against the cold stone. He heard suddenly a noise approaching him, however, he nothing wanted to know of it and lowered his head between his bent legs and could only hear, how somebody kneeled down beside him.
"Hey, dad."
"Alex? What are you doing here? You should..."
"I heard the conversation by chance and I was confused, however, I was worried about you, although I know that one doesn't need to do this. Is it true; are you able to get back mum?"
"Yes, but I'm not sure... whether it's a good idea."
"You still love her/ and you miss her more than all other. Maybe she's the lacking part in your life. Do what your heart says. I always wanted to know who and how my mum was."
"Oh Alex, how very much I wish over and over again to lead a normal life... to have a normal family, and go together into the zoo or to have picnic. I wished, there's a future for us."
"Bring back mum and there will be a future. You're not alone." Alex embraced his dad and felt the cold skin, however, he knew, that a warm fire burned within him and that he was a dad everyone wished. "I probably should go before my babysitters appear. Do you come with me?"
"I must still take care of something. Hey Alex... you were the best that happened in my cursed life. I regret nothing."
Alex smiled and set off alone again on his way home didn't, a bit depressed, to go home without his dad.
