I wish

 I also told Diego that I approved of them and he was more than happy. And after all that mess, I told him that I was the student of the year and the first one as a transfer student.

We dined out that night because he wanted to celebrate it. And I took Brian with me, Paige was a little busy. I did not want to be the third wheel so I talked with Brian. After dinner, we were on our way back. Diego said that we could go home, he would come after dropping Petra at her home.

I felt a sudden urge to go to the park, so I told Brian and here we were in the park. We were talking about things, I told him about what happened in the afternoon and we sat down on the bench.

I was looking at the starry sky with a smile thinking about mom and dad.

Brian broke the silence, "Why are so fond of the starry sky. It is not like you are seeing it for the first time". My smile widened thinking about the answer but I still did not look at me. While looking at the sky I replied to him,

"Brian, you know before all that mess happened. I mean when mom and dad were alive. I used to look at the sky and every night it was more beautiful than the previous one. I wondered why but I never got the answer and it fascinated me. But after the incident..." I felt tears brimming at the corner of my eyes. 

Seeing me, he put his warm hand over mine and squeezed his slightly to comfort me, I continued, " After the incident, I was broken. That time I realized why was the night sky so beautiful. Because my parents are one of those stars looking at me. And everyday more people must join them to look at their loved ones by becoming a star.

Many beautiful souls join the sky to make it more beautiful. I know, I am speaking absurd but this way I feel like mom and dad are still with me even though I kno....know that they...are not".

Now I looked at his soft eyes, tears were streaming down, "I miss them, Brian. I wish they were here with me to celebrate. I just so fucking miss them".

He took me in his embrace while I was a crying mess.
