Chapter#36

Daniel was standing near the grave. Mariposa was standing at a little distance, away from him. Mrs.Walton was sitting near the grave. Her hiccups could be heard in the silence of the dreadful evening. "Grandma." Daniel called her. She didn't respond. Mariposa cleaned her tears stuck face. She moved towards Mrs.Walton. She sat beside her and wrapped her arms around her. "He is in better place." She spoke meekly. "I am sure he is." Mrs.Walton said. Mariposa pulled Mrs.Walton on her feet. "We should go back. It's getting dark." She said. "But I don't want to leave him alone." Mrs.Walton said while crying. "We will come back." Daniel ensured her. Mrs.Walton nodded her head.
