ANNA:  Are we going to Dad graveyard?

MISTY:  How did you know?

ANNA: Mom i found your diary the other day and I happen to read it. Sorry mom for not respecting your privacy but I was so curious.

MISTY:  Okay that seems a lot easier. I was wondering how to explain everything to you in the future when you asked me about your Dad.

ANNA:  But what happened mom? Why is the last sentence you wrote incomplete?

MISTY: I just don’t want to that’s why. Okay we have reach- Anna greet your father.

After walking for more than 5 to 6hours without having anything they have finally reach the grave where Andrew was buried. The place was clean-

ANNA:  Hello daddy- My name is Anna. *offering the hibiscus they pick on the way*

MISTY:  ANDREW How are you? I am so sorry for not visiting you for the past years. See who I brought today. It’s our daughter. Remember the name you suggested before? I have named her ANNA just as you wanted. Look at her. She got all your features except for the eyes. She have grown up beautifully. I am sorry for not visiting Dad-Mellisa and all for all this years I just can’t meet them because The guilt is killing me every day. I don’t think I will live for long- I miss you so much every day. I always hum your name beneath my breath. I love you- I love you- I love you so much and then I lost you. Andrew-Why do you have to leave so early? I know I have no rights to complain all this to you because it’s my fault. Everything’s my fault- my fault for taking things lightly. I should have held you close that night- I should have stopped you from going out.  I shouldn’t have let my guards down. *Kneeling down* I am so sorry Andrew- But luckily I saved our Daughter. I don’t have the courage to go and apologize to mom and dad. Baby you will forgive me right? I don’t deserve to live anymore. *crying*

ANNA:  Mom stop crying- you will faint at this rate. Dad will not be happy seeing you like this. Can I say a few words to Dad.
Daddy- I am so happy that I met you today. But I will happier if you are still here holding me- pampering me- dropping me to school- comb my hair-Kiss me goodnight. I am a brave girl unlike mummy who always cry- I will stay strong and protect Mom. Dad- if I have to be honest I miss you so much- I can feel your presence everywhere I go and that’s what makes me who I am today. I promised I will visit you whenever I am free from now onwards since I know where you live now. Daddy be happy- okay. I will be the Brave-Strong ANNA. Love you so much

Misty couldn’t stop crying after hearing to what Anna has said. She can’t take it anymore and decided to end things for once and all.

MISTY:  ANN- Dear Promised me you will do anything Mommy asked you-?

ANNA: What is it Mom?

MISTY:  Shall we go to daddy place? Let’s all live happily there with daddy. He will carry you everyday pamper you everyday like you wanted. he will brush your hair- make you tasty food. Shall we do that? Let’s leave everyone behind. Hmm- baby Come with Mommy okay?

ANNA: Mom what are you talking about?

MISTY took out a scissor and some pills which she stole from hospital.

MISTY: Will you follow mommy? *give her the pills*

ANNA:  Mom- I am scared of blood. *looking at Misty with teary eyes with pills on her hand*

MISTY: Okay- We take it together at the count of three. 1…….2………
