Void decks, 12 yrs apart

[12 years ago]
Mom: Grandfather is in serious condition. Go to your uncle's house tomorrow.
Me: Ok...

The next day, after I ended school, I walked towards my uncle's house. As I got near, I saw a wake being held at the void deck. Denial battled with a understanding that I am looking at my grandfather's wake. As I drew near, a teary mom passed me joss-sticks.


[Today]
Me: I'm going to grandmother's house in the evening
Mom: Okay...

I walked towards my grandmother's house. As I got near, I saw a wake being held at the void deck.

Oh no, not again. I'll never forgive her if she pulls this off a second time.

As I drew near, I glanced at the attendees; their faces were new to me. With a guilty-sheepish-gladness, I pressed for the lift.
