"No I won" one of the male said
"No I won"
They argue until

After a long drive, he finally arrive home
At Mr Zehng home
Mr Zehng park his car, he sigh letting out a silent cry, remembering the lovely days of his brother and his sister- in- law.
Tears, lot of tears pour like water from his eyes, memories, there are just memories nothing can bring back them back.
Memories from childhood to the last time he see them, from the joy their share to the sadness their share, the garden they play, the crazy fight they have, just there.
Thinking the cherished days, he cry, the scare that is left behind in his heart cannot be mend, it just take one special someone to fix it up but who is the person.
In that car, a young girl is asleep, in her dream, she can sense it, it here, walking toward to her, she run for her life, shaking, trembling, whimpering, crying. Then she hear her mother voice, her sweet song, that song she sang, for her,
"Mummy" she call
She appear to her, smiling, next to her is her father
"Daddy" she call,
There are like a happy family. Then the horror appears, she see herself next to her parents looking worry, they kiss her
"We love you"
Then the car accident.
In the hospital she watches as the nurses move her parents bed, sitting there silently watching, no cry, no laugh, just there silent, watching the horror, the blood dripping on the floor.
She is there, watching her, she's opposite her watching, no emotions, she look up
"Cherish" she call
She look at it
"Cherish" she call
She look at her,
"Why Cherish, why"
The eerie melody playing in her mind,

She stop crying, open her eyes which is red from crying
"Mummy, daddy" she call
"No Cherish, sorry they are dead" he shed some tears
"Let's go inside shall we"
Then he remember
"Do you want to go to school?" he playfully ask trying to cheer her up
"Hmm" she nod,
Walking to the entrance of his house,
"So should I be taking you to school or you will use a school bus"

"Okay I will take you to school but you will join the bus home"he said,
She fold her arms and frown
"What is the matter?"he ask
"I want you to pick me"she shed some tears

"Come on let's get going" Mr Zehng ignore the cry of Andrea, carry Cherish to the car and zoom off.
