Regret

Yuri wasn't sure what he wanted to bring her to this place. But she was angry at him since she couldn't help but remember the thing that had happened in the past where her siblings were killed. She still remembered their faces and their bodies laying on the ground because of those robbers. Her body trembled and tears started to roll down from her eyes.

"I know that you're upset but please this time, for this time only, please believe in me."

Haru couldn't bear to see Yuri in this state, but he hoped her to beat with it for a bit and followed him to meet her siblings. He knew that he had asked too much for someone who he had just met for a few hours, but he wanted to help those ghosts to be released from this place and go to heaven. At the same time, he also wanted to help Yuri who obviously blamed herself for what had happened to her siblings.

"Believe in you? You bring me to this place know perfectly what is happening to me, aren't you very cruel?" Yuri asked with tears. She turned her body and ran only her hand was caught by him.

"Let go of me!!"

"No."

"Let go of me or else I will call the police!"

"No, I won't let go of you. I know that I'm very cruel to you but I wish you would believe in me, please give me a chance," Haru said with a desperate tone.

Yuri stopped and looked at him with teary eyes, "What do you want?" She wasn't sure, but looking at his expression she could tell that he didn't have a bad intention, but the memory from her past was haunting her again, especially when she looked at her previous house.

"I just want you to meet with someone," Haru said.

Yuri didn't say anything for a while and said, "Who?"

"I'm sure you won't believe me when I explain it to you, but please enter the house with me. You'll be able to see them."

"Them?"

Yuri's heart pounded and felt "them" which Haru mentioned was someone she knew very well. It might be because she was in a mess and she decided to follow him, but at the same time, she didn't want to enter that house again.

However, Yuri also wanted to know what made him so desperate asking her to enter her previous house.

"I can do anything for you, that's why for now, please meet them," Haru said.

Yuri knew that he was very sincere and from his eyes, she could tell that he didn't lie. She was in a dilemma until someone tapped her shoulder.

"Hmm?"

"Girl, your boyfriend is sincere enough, you should forgive him."

Yuri and Haru looked at this random middle-aged woman who suddenly said something strange to them.

Yuri blushed and said, "He is not my boyfriend!!"

"Alright, alright, you're fighting with each other right?" The middle-aged woman looked at Haru and asked, "Boy, I don't know what kind of mistakes you have made, but you won't hurt her right?"

"I won't," Haru answered without hesitation.

The middle-aged woman nodded and said, "From my experience, he won't cheat you anymore." She looked at Yuri and said, You're the only one for him, be happy now." She felt that she had said something cool and left them while waving her hand. She hoped that they would make up to each other after this.

"..........."

"What was that about?"

Haru was confused and didn't understand.

Yuri was also confused and looked at him. "This is only once."

Haru nodded and said, "I know, you won't regret it."

Yuri couldn't back down anymore and entered her previous house together with Haru. But suddenly her memory started to relapse and she remembered the robbers, her pleading, and her siblings. She almost passed out, but she was caught by Haru.

"I'm sorry, I know it is hard for you, but please bear it for a while," Haru said while holding her. It was the only thing he could say at that moment. He really felt uncomfortable, but he knew the pain was only for a moment since after this she would be thankful to him.

Yuri didn't say anything while holding his hand. She started to sob, and it was hard to see what was in front of her. She didn't know what he wanted to do but she had a feeling that she would regret it if she didn't follow him.

Haru also gritted his teeth and walked to the second floor while holding her hand.

Both of them walked very slowly and they had arrived in front of the door where the ghost of her siblings was killed.

Haru didn't say anything and opened the door. He wanted her to see them as soon as possible.

"Eh?"

Yuri was surprised when she saw it. She might not have seen them for the past few years, but she wouldn't forget about them.

"Nee-chan!"

"Nee-chan, you're here!"

"Nee-chan!!"

The three children were very happy when they saw Yuri. Even though she had grown up, those three siblings noticed her right away.

Yuri couldn't say anything and could only cry when she saw them. She walked toward them and tried to hug her hands as they passed through their bodies. After trying several times, she knew that it was impossible to touch them. Even if she couldn't touch them, she could still feel them and see them.

"Nee-chan, you've become big!"

"I'm happy to see you, Nee-chan!"

"Nee-chan, we love you!"

"I'm sorry, I'm so--"

Yuri's voice was choked and her eyes were red. She couldn't say anything, only looked at her siblings.

"Nee-chan, please live happily now!"

"We're glad that you're alive!"

"Nee-chan, please don't blame yourself."

The three ghosts smiled together and a white light suddenly enveloped them. They disappeared without leaving any regret. They looked at Haru and shouted.

"Nii-chan!" 3x

The three of them smiled looking at Haru.

"Huh?"

"Please take care of Nee-chan for us!" 3x

Blinking his eyes, Haru nodded. "Yes, I'll take care of her."

Smiling, they left them and entered heaven. They were glad to meet with Haru since it made them able to see their big sister for the last time.

Yuri remembered the thing which happened in the past. She had always questioned God why would God let her siblings die? Why would God let her innocent siblings die in the hands of those scums? Why wouldn't God give her more time to save her siblings? She didn't know the answer to that question, but for now, she was glad to meet with her siblings for the last time.

Haru didn't say anything and patted Yuri's back.

Yuri couldn't help but hug him and kept crying in his arms. If felt hurt that she could only see her siblings this time only, but at the same time, she was glad to see them.

Caressing her back, Haru didn't say anything and waited for her to calm down. At the same time, he also felt the burden on his chest had been lifted. Looking at the spot where the three children ghosts were playing in this room, he was wondering whether he was able to see his parents too.

'Or maybe not?'

But one thing for sure, he hoped for his parents to live happily in heaven right now.
