I watched silently and smiling when one by one my friends left my final resting place. I watched them and waved them my goodbye, I could sense Lilibet's warm smile upon my bed, and the way she brushed my tombstone made it more romantic when I was gone. I can't believe that she made the seashell as a necklace that reminds me of her expression and the way she took it from me that evening. I never regret sacrificing myself for her I'm happy that I can show my love to her and she's the one that takes care of me near my last breath.

I still remember how she brushed my face with panic, her tears that ran down from her eyes and fell to my cheek. The way she made me promise to stay awake and keep strong for my wound that became the first wound that truly killed me. I don't know, perhaps I'm not that lucky to hold my life to my hand and so the Angel of Death decides to take me away from Lilibet.

I turned my face to see that they'd left my grave and I decided to follow them, but something caught my attention. Something that blinded my eyes with the light that was so bright. I even covered my eyes from the light with my hands. I decided to walk closer to the light and when I was directly below the shining light, I saw a beautiful woman walk approaching me and I quickly recognized who she was.

"Mom?"

"Haris, my son... How are you?"

"Mom... Why are you... I miss you so much!"

I ran to my mom and she hugged me tight as if she wouldn't let me go and I cried at her chest the way I always did before she passed away.

"Now now, don't cry. What you did for Lilibet it's so heroic, I'm proud of you. But, you must move on. You can't stay here forever, let the living finish their business here while we take care of our own" My mom said while smiling and pinching my cheek.

"But... I can't just leave Lilibet alone, I've promised her that I will not leave her alone... I've failed her once Mom"

My mom just smiled and patted my head gently.

"I know that, but I'm sure she's wise enough to know that every living mortal will always come back to God through death... You know that as well, even though Lilibet is diagnosed with a terrible illness, if it's not her time then it won't come" My mom always gives me her wisdom the way I always need in times like this.

"You're right"

"See, she even wears the seashell that you gave her, she will never forget about you. I'm sure about it" Then she hugged me once again.

"Thank you, mom"

"Now, enough with these charters! There's so much that you need to see. Come and we can go far beyond the horizon"
