Chapter 229 A dream

With the sun on the verge of setting down, the sky was transforming into a mesmerising canvas of deep purple and indigo hues.

Walking along the streets filled with the shadows of the tall buildings, trees and other infrastructures, people of all age dressed in warm clothes could be seen.

Most of them had mufflers wrapped around their necks.

Especially middle aged office workers dressed in black suit, carrying a briefcase, after a long hectic day in office, right now most of them were either heading back home or heading to a bar to relieve their strees.

Bringing along the chill of the night, soft cold breeze which was blowing in the surrounding was making most pedestrians to cough and shiver in cold.

Imminently along with the descent of the darkness, some dots of twinkling stars could also be seen flickering in the sky.n))0Velb1n

And as it continued to get darker outside, temperature started to falter even more, making the pedestrian walking outside to hasten their pace.

Standing beside the hospital window, Hiro's mother let out a soft sigh as she murmured, "Days are getting colder" while looking at the scene unfolding outside the hospital building.

Although she was relatively warm since she was inside the hospital, she couldn't help but sigh upon seeing the action made by the pedestrian outside the hospital building.

While staring outside the window as her pupils constricted a little, she saw the reflection of her son's figure in the glass window.

Sleeping soundly in the bed behind her, Hiro was lying motionless, looking weak and fragile as compared to before.

Staring at her son's figure, her gaze softened as she felt extremely pitiful about her son's condition. She then while squinching her brows walked to the corner of the window and started to pull the curtain.

Just when she finished covering the window with the curtains, Takashi walked inside the room holding two cup of coffee in his hand.

Directly walking towards her, Takashi handed one of the cup he was holding to her.

"He hasn't woken up yet?" Mumbled Takashi as he looked towards Hiro.

'Relying on mother? How can I do that after abandoning her for so long? After father's death, she took on the responsibility to both feed me and look after the house by herself. Losing the love of her life, it must have been a lot difficult to her. But even so, instead of weeping and losing herself, she stood strong and consoled me.'

'Time and again she reminded me to focus on my studies. But I never listened to her. Instead of heeding her suggestion, I even rebelled against her.'

'I even went as far as to steal her hard earned money to buy cleats, jerseys, pay for competition participation fees and fund my pathetic dream, I've been nothing but unfaithful to her.'

'Looking back to moment, I've only made her life more miserable. And till this moment, I have done nothing but become a burden to her.'

At this moment, even from his dead eyes, drops of tears started falling down. And although his expression didn't change, tears continued to fall.

Finally as those drops of tear landed on his hands did he notice that he was already crying.

However seeing the drops of tears on his hand, instead of stopping, he burst into tears as he started to weep.

Right now he was regretting his past actions. However it was too late for him to feel regretful at this moment.

With his legs crippled and dreams shattered, he could do nothing but regret. He couldn't see any hopes nor any future. All he could see right now was pitch black darkness.

And the more he tried to walk, the more he got engulfed in the darkness. It was as if he was trapped in an infinite dark space.

At this moment just as he wiped some of his tears and looked towards the window, he saw his younger self's reflection on the window glass.

Seeing the reflection of his younger self, his eyebrows raised and his eyes opened wide. His mouth felt dry and his heart sank.

"Who... Who... Are you?" Hiro stuttered while staring at the reflection on the glass window.

As he said those words while stuttering, the figure in the reflection however didn't move. It stayed still at it's place, pitifully looking at him.

Seeing the actions of the figure in the glass window, his body started to shiver and beads of sweat started running down his temple.

He felt extremely creepy as he tried to move back. However at this moment, he couldn't even lift his hands. As if his whole body down bellow his neck was paralysed, he could only move his head.
