Today is a Saturday. I started to stroll along the nearby playground. "Does my childhood represents who I am now?" I thought to myself. Even though I already know the answer to that question, I do not know the ways to remove or delete my past completely.
I decided since I was free, might as well visit Zachae. After two bus trip and a 35 minute walk, I was greeted with a signboard, with "Halcom's Cemetery" labelled on it. I brought a bouquet of Marigold flowers. I placed it in front of the stone tablet, with Zachae Lee written on it.
"I know it is too late to say this Zachae, but I am sorry. For what I have done to you. If I had known the damage I caused... You probably won't have suicide. Also, tell me how can I forgive myself? Please Zachae..." I sincerely asked the stone tablet for advice. A huge wind brushed against my face. I will never know what Zachae thinks of me. Maybe he will want me dead as well. Maybe he will want revenge. If I could fulfill any of his wish I will.
"Jack? Is that you?" I turned towards that mysterious voice. "It's you..." I said, surprised by her appearance. "So... I guess you were the guy who caused the death of my brother." My eyes widened. "Yo-your... Brother?".
Tears began to swell up at both our eyes. " I am sorry." After those words I ran, before she could say anything. Now, I can't even face her. Not only have I scolded her, I was the one who killed her brother. The suicide is caused by me. I now know the truth.
A few days had passed, I never even try and talk to her. Whenever she approach me, I just look away or in most cases, ran away. I know that she just wanted to scold me. I actually should just let her. I deserve it. Even if she beat me to death, it will still not be enough to atone for the damaged I've done.
Today is still a usual day. Trying my best to avoid her. But I do not think it's my best since I was cornered by her. "Why are you trying to avoid me?" She asked while panting frantically. "How am I supposed to face you? I know what I did could never be undone. I know you will never forgive me." She just stared at me. Then, she smiled. "After he died, he left two letters in my secret box. In the letter for me, he wants me to pass the second letter to one of his bullies, if I were able to meet them one day." She passed me an old letter. I tore it gently and start reading it.
Dear Jeremiah/Jack,
I have always wanted to say this. I am sorry. I am sorry for existing. I do not really know why you guys are targeting me all the time, but I hope that even after my death, we could finally be friends. Especially with Jack. Sure you are always at the sidelines with Jeremiah, but you are always loyal. You might not know whether what you are doing is right. But at least you are respectable. At least for me. But I know I'm a burden to everyone around me. I want to make sure my sister could have a better life.
Also, if you don't mind us being friends now, I have a request. My sister is very clumsy at times, could you help me take care of her after I am gone? Thanks in advance....
Alright, I am going to leave now. May you have a better life.
Sincerely,
Zachae
