CHAPTER 14; ANOTHER GOODBYES

three days after Lily's Memorial Day Melton bid his supposedly in-laws goodbye... he went back to California with his parents, with the hope that someday there will come a time that he will learn to let go...

Lilac, on the other hand, wait for Lily's 9th death day before she packed her things to go back to Manila.

LILAC; mom, I need to go, from time to time, I'm going to visit you and dad here with Rob. Lilac said

LISA; lilac, why don't you just stay here with Rob and settle down? you and Rob can stop working and help your dad manage our merchandising store...Lisa said trying to stop her daughter from leaving.

LILAC; mom Rob is the manager of their own company, while I'm a freelance writer. I need to travel in order for me to write stories and novels. don't worry mom, I'll be visiting you often.

LISA; what about your sister's belongings? who'll take care of it?

LILAC; mom I'm planning to continue renting that room apartment, me and Lily have so many memories there. and I also want to find some clues about Lily's death.

DAMIAN : ( who's been listening to their conversation interrupt them when he hears Lilac's plan) Lilac, isn't it dangerous for you to stay there? what if those criminals come back and do the same thing to you???

LILAC; dad I'm not going to stay there, I'm just going to visit that place before coming here, or after, every year at Lily's death anniversary to offer my prayers at the place where she died. although it hurts, it's important for me...Lilac reasoned out to her father

DAMIAN; okay... I think you already made up your mind.....just always take baby... for me and your mom...

you're the only one left to us... Damian and Lisa said... sadly
