Chapter 2: Mother's Death

Lyricie's mother is going to the kitchen to get a glass of water in the middle of the night. She is not feeling well and her head is hurt like it was spiking a sharp nails. She can't sleep properly because of what happened to her daughter and she married a wrong man. She regrets it for her whole life that she remarried again. She should have listen to her child.

Is there an earthquake? She thought-holding her head, blinking her eyes several times.

And she collapsed. No one notice that she collapsed, they're asleep.

In the morning, the maid shouted that they saw madam in the floor. Everyone look of what happened. Lyricie cried, she check her mom's heart beat and do CPR but it did not work.

SHE'S DEAD. It was really late.

"Mom! Wake up!" Lyricie bit her lips, her tears fall non-stop. Like if there's the end of the world.

"Mommy! Mommy! Open your eyes, please." Her nose redden and she can't see anything except for the water in her eyes falling down, no planning to stop.

"Mom. Please don't leave us. Mom." She hugs her mother tightly not going to let go.

"It's all my fault!" She said angrily.

She's cold like an ice. Her body is like a beautiful statue but pale. Her little sister, Jiaxyn whined and didn't saw that coming. They all had the same point, except for Lyricie. She regrets and blamed herself that she didn't even save her own mother, their one and only biological mother that no one can replace her.

The causes of her mother's death because of depression and lack of vitamins, after hearing this, she knew why her mother got depressed. It was her fault, almost all of her fault. She can't even forgive her own self.

Their relatives and mother's friends and family went to visit her grave ceremony. The most who suffered is Lyricie. She loved her mother whole heartly. She can't even sleep soundly nor peacefully. She cried the whole night. It is same for her little sister, but not to emotionally same as her.

After they finished the ceremony, their relatives and some of them comforted Lyricie, but the more she comforted the more she cried. She was young child after all that a young girl like her should not happen or experience to her.

"Lyricie, my granddaughter, please live with us. Together with your sister" Grandfather said to me, asking to live with them. After mother died, I am too young to take over the business.

"Yes, grandfather please." I said and hug them sobbed.

Oh dear, I will make you stronger and no one will ever make you suffer than this. Even the thing they did to you. My brave child, fight with it. Grandfather assumed.

Grandmother can't help feeling the agony of her heart. She will protect their children and will make them strong and brave. So that no one will ever easily hurt them

again...
