I woke up at around 3am this morning after a very horrible nightmare related to Darius. How appreciative I was when I realised that it was all a dream and I am back to this beautiful world.

It started off with Darius getting more and more mischeivous, so much so that it had gotten off our nerves.

We then learnt from somewhere that we could ‘tame’ our child by making him ‘not as smart’. The method to us was to hit him on the back of his head for a few times.

We couldn’t bear to do it ourselves, so we asked a female neighbour to do so instead, who claimed to be very good in this. Little did we know at that time that she got a violent tendency (or had just quarrelled with her husband?).

She then took out an umbrella and hit Darius at the back of his head forcefully using its metal tip (it was really an horrendous sight… o_o). Our hearts broke when we saw him suffer, but we endured on as we believed it was for his own good.

It was after a while that we realised that the neighbour was going overboard that we grabbed hold of her to stop her actions. By then it seemed to have been too late though, as Darius had already become unconscious, with a big red patch on the back of his skull.

We quickly rushed him downstairs to seek help from some ‘bird-form dieties’ (?). While waiting for their arrival, we wrapped Darius up in a blanket in case he caught a cold.

After they arrived, we quickly brought one of them (a big colourful phoenix) to Darius. But when I uncovered him from the blanket, his skin had already started to turn black, and the bird looked at us sadly and shook his head.

I quickly beckoned Catherine to come over, held his hands with ours, and painfully but calmly reassuring Darius that everything was okay, and he could softly go to sleep now.

I was blaming myself and regretting all the actions we have done to him, and hoped everything could be undone…

I was awoken at this point, either by the sadness or shock, and I immediately turned and was relieved to find that Darius was still sleeping safely beside us.

This was a time when I was so relieved to be back in reality, and that all I’ve encountered earlier (which were so realistic that I could still recall all the details) were just part of a nightmare.

And to think I had to get this dream on a Mother’s Day…

God bless Darius and our family, and I pray that these terrible things would never happen to us.
