Chapter 33 - Another dead

The period of covid 19 was very special and unforgettable for me as o lived one of the most shocking event in my life, that still has an impact on all my actions and reactions. It was one Saturday, I woke up as usual. I ent to my job normally. I started teaching students and I didn't even think about what would happen later. I finished the morning shift at 12:30. Immediately. I called my sister, who used to take care of my mom. I said:" hello! How is my mom?" She answered:" she is good right now." And demanded:" shift to a video call if you want." I did. I saw my mom smiling as always but I didn't know that it was the last smile. I finished my contact. Then, I came back to my job. At 17:20 pm, I saw my mobile ringing, it was my sister's number. First, I hesitated to answer as if I felt something wrong was going on. After a while I pressed the button on. At that moment, I heard just my sister crying. She didn't speak; however I understood that it was the last moment in my mom's life because my sister had never done like this. I didn't feel my tears falling and all my students asked in the same time:" teacher! What happened?" I couldn't stop crying. The other school's staff came to my classroom. They also asked the same question:" what was going on? I tried to collect my words. O found it difficult to say that word. "Sorry, my mom died!" I said. You couldn't imagine all people around me crying as if they knew my mom like me. The director ordered me:" stop working and come with me!" I did. He started making me calm in his office. But I wanted just to leave home to see my dearest mom. He told me not to drive my car. And he asked his driver to take me home. I still remember that the 12 kms between my job and my mom's house, was like a few meters at that day.
