Here it is -
I was sitting on a chair in my living room when the house phone rang. Jo picked up the phone, and her expression changed immediately after hearing what seemed to be a very shocking news. She covers the receiver and whispers to me that my friend has just passed away. That call was from my friend’s mum. I was dumbfounded. I didn’t know what to do. I sat there, my mind blank.
Is this how it felt like? The death of your closest friend/relative? I couldn’t believe my ears. I do not want to believe it. She’s only 18. Has not even celebrated her 19th birthday and God is taking her life away already? So soon?
No. This can’t be true.
My sis put down the phone, and told me the funeral is the day after tomorrow. She told her (my friend’s) mum we’ll all be there for the funeral.
I finally found my voice. “Jo, did she say what the cause of her death was?”

A lot of stuff flashed across my mind. Memories of us with a bunch of friends hanging out together, laughed, cried, and celebrated together.
And of course, procrastinating together too. Mustn’t miss that out.
I went to bed at night, still not knowing how to face the fact. I do silently wish when i wake up the next day, it would be just a dream gone bad. Sadly though, when i woke up and ask my sis if all these things happening yesterday were true, it was a nod.
Knowing your closest friend has just passed on...
I just couldn’t tell how bad it felt.
We did so many things together. But yet, there are still many things out there waiting for us to do.
***
I woke up again the next day, telling myself this is not true. No, it is not true.
And thank god, it is NOT true. It was a stupid dream that i had all this while. Stupid stupid stupid dream. Scares the hell out of me. Worst dream ever. I do hope i’ll never get this kinda dream ever ever again. I don’t think i can take it if it comes attacking me the 2nd time.
Anyway, her ‘death’ was due to lack of sleep and overwork.
So to all of you out there who gets less than 7 hours of sleep every day, please, PLEASE CHANGE YOUR SLEEPING ROUTINE N.O.W. Although it is just a dream, but having insufficient rest/sleep will really really take your life away.
