" You must hate looking at my face right? But I can't avoid it today as I've got to send you off. Sorry about that. I saw that you don't have a family other than me so I came to send you off. Though I don't know if you hate it. Well, I've come to say that I am happy now. So I forgive you. You can go and rest in peace...
When you meet my mother, greet her for me. Tell her that I am sorry for making her die so young. Tell her to not be my mother in the next life. Tell her to be happy. You can also finally reunite with her. So be happy with her. You don't need to forgive me for taking her away from you.
I want to live with that for the rest of my life. I've brought my family to send you off. I really don't know how you feel now. If you still hate me or if I don't matter to you anymore. I just felt like it was something I have to do. I needed to send you off myself.
In the end, I still want to thank you for giving me life. Thank you for everything. Rest in peace... "
The last word he said was sorry. He didn't know if she heard it or not. His tears left his sight blurry. And maybe god didn't think he deserved to ask for forgiveness as he wasn't able to say anything other than that.
The regret he had was very big. It was also unbearably heavy. It was deep and unerasable. It was everlasting. It was unredeemable. This story had a lot to teach. But most importantly, it taught them what is more important in life.
If you have regret, you have to repent for it. There is no such solution as to die and everything vanishes. It doesn't. Even if the person you need to repent to doesn't exist anymore, you can still repent for it by looking after their loved ones. Looking after the people they wanted to protect and care about.
In the end, there is no such thing as a perfect way to redeem because once you made the mistake, you can never take it back. That means you can't redeem for any regret hundred per cent. But the least you can do is spend your life repenting it. That's the only way. That was what Victoria learned from this story and wanted to make Oscar learn this point too.
This story that an unknown stranger seamlessly told become a life-changing story of their life. It changed a lot of things for the listener. It made them realise the meaning of regret and repentance. And it thought us a lot.
This is how Victoria kept trying her best to change Oscar's mindset. But she was just actually trying to prepare him for a day when she won't be there anymore. However, that's what Oscar feared the most.
[ This was a short summary of a story my sister told. I admire her for the beautiful and meaningful stories she tells. They are never boring and so interesting. She has told us uncountable stories. She was the storyteller for all of us. I have a big family so she had three younger siblings including me. All of her stories are unforgettable. And this was also one such and I didn't want to take credit for it. This story about a girl who was despised by her father for such a reason teaches us a lot. It's an admirable story of a brave girl who lived after this all and achieved success and love.]
