The Heartbreaking Miracle (Extended Version)

Chapter 11: A Visiting Prophecy

The next day, Abuela was still sad after Mirabel's soul visited her. She didn't want to tell the other Madrigals about that soulful visit by the tragically departed Madrigal.

Bruno and Pepa saw their mother being sad, so the two approched Abuela for confort.

"Mama, what's wrong? Why are you sad today?," Pepa asked.

Abuela is still sad despite Pepa's joyful question.

"Look, it's very sunny here, don't be sad.," Pepa added.

Despite Pepa cheering her up, Abuela is still sad, so Bruno have no choice but to ask a question.

"Is it about Mirabel?," he asked.

Abuela nods yes. Both of them where in shocked.

"How? We all know she's dead!," Pepa said.

"Yeah, Mirabel's dead. Maybe there's a soulful visit?," Bruno added.

"Yes, she had a visit to my room last night.," Abuela explained. "It was a dream, a sad dream."

The answer make Pepa confused.

"So, mama, if I dream of her, it would rain?," Pepa asked the candle holder. Abuela nods.

Shocked, both Bruno and Pepa took care of their mother after her dream last night.

In a distance, Agustin and Felix were very happy that the two talked with Abuela, wishing Julieta would talk to her soon.

"I wish your wife could talk to her after what happen.," Felix told Agustin.

"Yeah! She's been distant to her mother for a couple of weeks now.," Agustin answered.

Felix looked confused after Agustin's answer.

"Why is that?"

"Well, she's being distant to Abuela after Mirabel's death.," Agustin explained. "I don't know why but her words against Mirabel make her sad."

"She might be so sad after her death, as you said, so maybe she need some space.," Felix said.

"I told Abuela about that and your explaination, so maybe one day she might have talk to her about it.," Agustin said. Felix agreed.

Later that day, Abuela talked to Bruno before sleeping.

"I might told you that Mirabel could be your room while you sleep. It might be a dream.," Abuela told her only son.

"Mama, it's ok about it. Besides, it's serious about her visiting.," Bruno said.

"Ok, Brunito. Good night.," Abuela said.

"Good night as well.," Bruno responded.

After a while, while Bruno is confortably sleeping, and just like with Abuela the previous night, Mirabel's soul visited the family.

"Tío.," Mirabel's soft voice said, and just like Abuela, she conforts Bruno.

Bruno slowly opens his eyes and saw Mirabel. He immediately closed his eyes, thought that he's not dreaming.

"Tío, it's me. And just like Abuela told you, you're dreaming.," Mirabel's soft voice said.

Bruno emotionally hugged Mirabel, like he believed like nothing happen from a couple weeks ago.

"Thank goodness, you came back.," Bruno sadly said.

"I am, just for a while.," Mirabel told Bruno, as they broke away from hugging.

"Why? Are you going back?," Bruno asked.

"Well, yeah. Your father might be worried.," Mirabel explained.

"Wait.," Bruno stopped.

"What was it?," Mirabel asked.

"Well, I-I."

"It's ok, you can tell me about that.," Mirabel said.

"I might talk to your Abuela after this. You visited her last night, remember?," Bruno said.

"Yeah. She was very sad after she saw me.," Mirabel said.

"Why was that?," Bruno asked.

"At first she thought I was dead.," Mirabel explained. "As everyone know, I died because of what happened to the Casita, so I clarified it.," she added.

"And then?"

"She told me that mama was so distant to her after I died.," Mirabel added.

"Woah. I didn't know that!," Bruno exclamed.

"Yeah, maybe most of our familia knows that.," Mirabel said. "But I know she needs some space."

Suddenly, Bruno hugged Mirabel. He knows he's going to miss his sobrina so much.

"I miss you. We all miss you, mija.," Bruno sadly said. "Please, visit us more often.," he pleaded.

"I will.," Mirabel's soft voice exclaimed. "I might visit tía Pepa and tío Felix as soon as I can.," she added.

"I guess. See you soon, Mirabel.," Bruno said, as he said goodbye.

"You too.," Mirabel softly said and disappeared. "And I miss you. I miss the familia as well. Tell them about it soon."

Just like his mother last night, Bruno have just saw his lovely sobrina disappeared in front of his eyes. He knows it too well that it wasn't a prophecy, it was something. Something to be proud of.
