...

I'm confused about what I'm seeing right now. My grandparents are crying in front of a casket. And I don't know why. Ninongs said that it was a casket but they didn't say what's the inside of it--- But actually a lot of people are crying. So I decided to ask my ninongs.

"Ninong Yoni, why are they crying? Did someone died?" I innocently asked my ninong who's currently holding me on my shoulder.

I already shaked my shoulder to get rid off his hands but my ninong Yoni's  reaallyyyy, really hard headed. He said he knows how I wanted to wander around so he's holding me. Dzuhh ninong.

And I asked ninong Yoni but all of my ninong looked at me. Are they my ninong Yoni?

They wiped their faces at the same time and smiled at me when I looked at them. However, ninong Yoni just signaled me to be quiet, and that made me pout.

I wandered my eyes and suddenly became excited when I saw something.

"Ninongs! Look oh! That is the picture of dad, oh!" I excitedly shouted when I saw a big picture of my dad  in the big frame.

But one of my ninongs immediately covered my mouth. I looked at them, confused. They have this nervous face while looking around.

"Sorry, our daughter thought Mr. Claivon and I have the same features." I heard ninong Troy say. I'm again confused.

"Ninong? Am I your daughter?" I innocently asked. He laughed and shook his head before signaling me to be quiet, again.

He didn't answer, as well as my other ninongs.

I just shrugged and just looked around to see if my mother and tito leo's picture will also be here, but I disappointedly pout because I can't see their pictures.

This is just like what I saw the other week, my mother's big picture on the right side of the casket— And oh! Tito Leo too.

I suddenly gasped when I got an idea. Am I going to be next?

"Yurei, what's wrong? What's with that look? " I looked at my ninong volt who's worriedly looking  at me.

I removed my hands and curiously asked them.

"Why do they always put the picture of mom, dad, and Tito Leo at the side of the casket? Am I going to be next? Do I also need my picture to be put there?..." I pout. "I don't have any cute pictures yet, ninongs." I worriedly said. I gave my puppy eyes but they just laughed at me! How bad!

"Look at dad, he's so handsome. Mommy and Tito Leo both look good in their pictures too. They are great in their pictures." I added.

I don't know why but instead of answering me, after laughing they suddenly got teary eyes.

Ninong Ziel patted my head and kissed my forehead.

"You're not going to be next, sweetheart. Your ninongs and I will always take good care of you." He said. They nodded in union.

I smiled happily at them and nodded too.

"Of course! I'm too cute to be abandon, ninongs." We giggled because of what I said.

I decided to look in front again where I could hear and see my grandma.

"Son! Mommy n-needs yo-you... C-come back..." I heard grandma's cry and plead while hugging the casket.

I don't know why but looking at her, it makes my heart beats faster. I unconsciously touched my chest when it began to hurt.

I am now sure that someone died. Then, that means that someone is in the casket?

I look at the picture of my dad again.

W-what?

D-dad...

How naive of me. I don't even know that my father is inside, having his  peaceful life.

A single tear drop and the next thing I knew my tears won't stop falling.

Someone pinched my shoulder and whispered.

"Everything will be okay, Yurei..." It's my ninong yoni.

I looked at them, crying.

Ninong Quill wiped my tears then kissed my forehead. But it really won't stop.

"N-ninongs, they, they left me already?" I asked, still crying. My tears won't stop falling from the thought that I'm now alone.

Mommy and daddy, as well as tito Leo
... They are all dead.

"No, sweetheart... Look oh, you still have us. We're your family." They smiled at me but I can't smile back at them.

Ninong Troy pinched my cheek and pointed at my ninong one by one. "We are now your family..." He said.

"And sweetheart..." Tito Dash faced me and smiled. "Your mom, dad, and Tito Leo didn't leave you... T-they just..." He stops when he suddenly can't talk properly because he's crying.

Ninong Volt patted Ninong Dash's shoulder and they nodded at each other.

"T-they ju-just, just need rest... A long, l-long rest..." Ninong volt continued what Ninong Dash's going to say. He  got also teared eyes but still smiling while talking to me.

They all are.

They all are...

I looked at each one of them. They were all smiling at me. I don't know what's still happening, but I finally smiled back.

"We're family." I said, smiling. They happily nodded.

"WHAT'S HAPPENING?!"

We immediately looked in front when we heard my granddad's voice.

There's a policeman who is forcefully putting something in his hands.

"Mr. Alcheus Gladius, you're under arrest for killing Miss Zehannah Garnet. In charged of murder and rape. "

"WHAT?!" My granddad hysterically asked. I can't understand what the police said but everyone looked so shocked.

"A-alcheus?" My grandma began to cry while looking at my granddad who's being dragged by the police.

"No! Noo! Hon, listen to me, I didn't do that... I love you! I won't do such a thing! Hon, trust me!" He's shouting but grandma just continuously cries.

"I didn't do an—"

Someone suddenly covered my ears. Probably one of my ninongs. I looked at them, it's my ninong volt who's covering my ears. I tried taking off his hands but he shook his head. I pout.

I just watched how the police forcefully took my grandpa while my grandma is still crying.

I pouted more when someone covered my eyes.

"Ninongs you're all bad..." I poutedly said. They just laughed slightly and whispered at me.

"This is not for a 5 years old child, Yurei..."

Meannnyyy.
