Rest in peace Lily

Rest in peace, lily [Letter's]

When Lily returned, she immediately asked me to give her papers and a pen. I wonder what it is for but I just didn't ask anything and just gave what she asked for.

She went to the living room as she began to write, I took a peek to see what she's writing but she covered it

“Don't look at it!” she shouted “Alright, I won't” I said with a sigh as I decided to go to the kitchen to cook food not for me but for Lily.

She was away for some days, she's probably hungry.. we'll probably? After I cooked, I brought the food in the living room as I offered it to her.

she stopped writing as she smiled at me “Thank you mister” she said in a cheerful tone as she ate it quickly, when she's done she went back writing her thing.

probably it took her 40 minutes to finish it, because she kept repeating it, probably didn't like what she did.

she folded the paper into two, as she made an envelope, then she put the paper there, hmm I see she's making a letter for who?

she added  the finishing touch to it as she gave it to me “Mister  can you please give it to the driver?... I don't wanna keep making you translate what I say.. it's not like he can see or hear me either..”

I smile softly as I see in lily's eyes that it's not filled with hatred so I can tell that the letter isn't made with hatred but rather a forgiving letter.

“I'm proud of you lily”I said to lily, lily smiled happily at me. After that day, I delivered the letter to the driver with lily floating by my side.

“Here James, Lily's message..” I said as I handed James the letter, it's quite obvious a kid wrote it as it's messy and has a lot of spelling errors in the front.

James opened the envelope, taking the letter inside, he then began to read it. I'm not sure what's on it, but seeing that James is starting to tear up while reading it.

It must mean something important, when James finished reading it, he was crying, as he got on his knees saying “I'm sorry lily, I'm sorry lily”

he said continuously, until Lily told me that it's time for them to leave, I got up as I said “We'll take our leave now..” I bow my head as we left

Lily has a relax look on her face, I can't help but ask “So, what's written in that letter?”, Lily think for a moment as she then smiled “It's long but in short, it says, I forgive you”

She was able to forgive the driver, so why is she still here?..”Then, is there anything else you wanted to do?” I asked her, she nodded as she smiled at me “I have another letter for you to deliver hehe”

“Letter? for who?”, “For my parents.. can you give it to them? I'll lead you my way to my house” she said excitedly as she began sprinting but I stopped her.

“Wait! What do you expect me to tell your parents as an excuse? that their daughter unexpectedly had a letter left from a stranger like me and I'm just delivering it to them after 3 years of your death?”

Lily stopped, as she began to think “You're right, then what?” she asked, scratching her head, “hmm.. I met your last teacher before… maybe I'll let her deliver it to your parents..”, “Teacher Rachel!” she said happily, “Teacher Rachel, is the best teacher I had! She's so kind and understanding and, and! patient”, she does seem like that kind of person.

When we went to Lily school, I asked her teacher to deliver a letter to Lily's parents as they know her more than me. Rachel looked at the handwriting of the story as she was almost tearing up, but she agreed to bring the letter.

I didn't bother to join her but, Lily followed Rachel. She probably wanted to see how her parents would react, but once the letter was delivered, Lily would disappear.

It's better if I wouldn't be there to see that, so before Lily followed Rachel I told her “Be a good kid alright? or you won't be accepted up there”

she laughed as she then smiled “I will! thank you mister!”
