Love and Regret

Love and Regret
By Agustina P.T a.k.a Augustine Tjia

Long time ago, a little girl lived with her mother. They loved each other like the way a daughter and a mother should be. Although they were poor and their life was hard, they were happy together.
One day, her mother fell sick. They didn't have any money to buy medicine. So the little girl, everytime and everyday took care of her mother. But sadly, it was no use. Her mother grew weak each day.
The little girl fell into despair and sorrow. She didn't know what to do.
One night, after her mother sleeping silently, she prayed with all her heart hoping for a miracle that could heal her mother.

Unexpected, a dark and clothed figure appeared in front of her. The little girl frightened as the dark figure said that he was the God of Death. The God of Death came to take away her mother's soul that night. Oh, the little girl cried in front of him and begged not to do it. God of Death refused and said that he was going to take her mother's soul whether she liked it or not. Her time had already come to end of that world. The little girl would not let him. She said to him that she would trade her soul to save her mother's for she was the only family that she had left.
God of Death became silent as he thought of little girl's request. After a while, God of Death asked whether she would regret her own request because when it was done, there was no going back.
With eyes that filled with determination, she nodded. Without any hesitation, God of Death took little girl's soul, leaving her dead body laid beside her mother. Then, God carried her soul to heaven because her great sacrifice for her beloved mother.

All sickness had gone and her mother became healthy but when she found out her daughter lifeless figure that sleep eternally beside her, those weren't important anymore. Her mother cried all her sorrow out and embraced her daughter. Mother was so upset and sad. She repeatedly asked why God of Death had taken her daughter's soul instead of hers. She was young and had life to live, why her?

After three days, God of Death came back to take her mother's soul for she couldn't live any longer without her daughter.

God of Death once had said that he would take her mother soul whether she liked it or not. Yes, he had done it. He carried her mother soul to Hell for the sin she had committed of ended her own life.

Little girl felt so much regret, sorrow and disappointment on herself. If only, she had listened to God of Death. If only, she had not made that request, maybe her mother would be in heaven...
There was no going back.
