Days passed so fast, today is the time when Lyn is discharged from the hospital and also today is the last day of the burial of Lily. Lyn insisted to go out to the hospital and just continue to recover at home. She also wants to attend the burial of Lily even for the last time before they buried her in the land. To say her goodbye and thankfulness for the last time to the person who's the reason for her second life.
“Are you sure baby that you can manage?” Axiel asks again. Maybe it's already the hundred times he asks it. She narrows her eyebrow while glaring at him. She put her hands on her waist before saying.
“Do you want me to get some memo plus gold for you?” he teased him. It is medicine for those whose forgettable.
“No thank you. I have a wise mind baby.” he shook his head and disagree with what she said. She rolls her eyes at him. Sitting in the hospital bed while watching them packing their clothes makes her bored.
“Baby!” she called him with annoyance in her voice.
“Why baby? Do you need something?” he asks focusing his full attention on her. He seems to notice the way she talks. Lyn can't be forced to stand, work, or walk too much because of her wound and stitch. It's fresh for now and not healed. She smiles genuinely before talking. That smile seems not right. Yes, maybe she wants something but is afraid to say it.
“Nothing, I just want to ask if you're done. I badly want to see her for the last time. I'm also obliged to say her last words to her parents because we will leave this country tomorrow.” Yes, they are going back to the Philippines as she begged for. She didn't want to stay much longer in the hospital, she can't take it when she always laying in the bed throughout the day doing nothing.
“Yes, baby. We're done already. Come and I will carry you so we can leave this hospital. I know that you really hate hospitals but you're coming back to it always. You need to be accustomed to it starting now, even we will be back in the Philippines, you need to have your monthly check-up for two years remember?” he tease her. She needs check-ups to tell if her condition is getting better or worse. Her doctor here advised it to her that she nodded for. She can't say ‘no’ because it's a doctor's direction.
“I'm not a nympho baby. I can walk.” she groans while patting her bed with her hands out of frustration. A childish and hard-headed act. She didn't want the way they treat her, they always object if she want to help or just walk on her own or stand. Axiel needs to be at her side always for her needs.
She is very shy when a nurse comes into her room seeing them in a posture and wrong timing. When he kisses her when he carries her just to pee, and others. But what she can do? It's nothing because they are being too caring and protective of her.
Axiel carry her without more discussion, she let him. She can't resist him either. After an hour of travel, they reach the cemetery where Lily is to be buried. There were a lot of people attending the last ceremony for her. Axiel let her walk because it was just five meters away from them. The families of the two patients she save also were there.
“Condolence Ma'am and Sir,” she said when she was near to Lily's parents. They smile at her and the mother of Lily hugs her.
“I know that your daughter Ma'am is happy today. Even it's hard for you as a family, we can't bring her back to life ma'am. ” she hugs her back saying it. To comfort her.
“I know and I will let her go this time even it's totally hard. I don't want to be selfish. So we let her go. I hope she is happy now where she is.” she sobs on Lyn's shoulder. You can see the love they have for their daughter, especially now that it's the last time they are going to see her.
“She is Ma'am, she talks to me in my dreams before I come back here. She says that thank you for letting her go and rest peacefully, she also says that you must take care of yourselves, the baby, and also her father. That is the last word she says to me. She smiles and looks beautiful there Ma'am and there will be the day that you can be with her again.” Lyn spoke Lily's last word to them. They are shocked at what she says, especially Lily's mother. It's like they are not believing it.
“She talks to you?” she asks her. Lyn smiled genuinely before answering it.
“Yes ma'am. She's beautiful on her white dress that time and a lily flower crown on her head.”
“Stop crying ma'am because it will affect your baby. Lily will be mad at you if her sister or brother will look ugly if it comes out.” she joked to make her smile. And yes, it works. She wipes her tears and smiled before saying.
“Thank you, dear. I don't want her to be mad at me though. I will tell her siblings about her story, the way she looks cute, childish acts, her lovely behavior, and the way she expresses her love to us." Lily's mother said positively. The word ‘Siblings’ shocked Lyn. So it means not one right? Oh my gosh!
“Siblings you said ma'am?” she ask out of curiosity.
“Yes, I got my first ultrasound yesterday and it says I will be having triplets. It's an amazing gift but she will not see them nor take care of them as she dreamed of before. She wants to be a big sister, to play with them, to take care of them and all. Sadly she can't now.” she's being cheerful in the first but end up sad again.
“But she can take care of them by being in their side forever right?” Lyn added to Lily's responsibility.
“Yes, she will.”
The ceremony end and now everyone has a white lily flower and a white balloon, to throw when they will slowly put down the casket and to let go of the balloons that have message tied on the end of the strap of each balloon. Lyn throws the lily on the casket and say. says“Rest in peace Lily, we will always remember you and cherish your memory, your help to us. Goodbye.” Lyn murmurs it before going back to her place, letting others do so.
“Now let's release the balloons at the same time saying ‘We love you Lily’ before releasing it." the MC announced.
“1, 2, 3!" the MC counts before all of us shout.
“WE LOVE YOU LILY!” after that, they release the balloons and stare at them.
The workers of the funeral finish the works and put Bermuda grass in the land they put to cover the hole they make where they put the casket. A lot of flowers surround it and just the tombstone where to see, it says her name, date of birth, date of death, a quote that describes her and lastly, a lily flower that is printed to it on the side.
Lyn says their goodbyes to Lily's family because Axiel wants her to rest before their flight tomorrow. They spend the night in a five-star hotel. Lyn and Axiel stay in a room as always, they share the bed. Axiel get used to sleeping with her and he can't sleep without her.
Lyn woke up on a knock outside the door. She can't get up because of the hand of Axiel that is hugging her. She didn't have any choice but to wake him up.
“Baby wake up, someone is knocking on our door.” she shook her slowly. Axiel open his eyes immediately when he heard her voice waking her up.
“Why baby?” he asks. His voice is hoarse because he just woke up. Let's just say a nap.
“Someone is knocking on our door,” she said again pointing the door.
“Okay, wait for me here and I will see who's in there.” he kissed her forehead before leaving the bed. She leans her back in the headboard while the blanket is covering the lower part of her body. She waits for him. Not so long, Axiel comes back to her with a smile on his face.
“Our parents tell the kitchen to bring us dinner, come and we will eat first before going back to sleep.” he stops on her side and signs her to get up already. He lift her and carry her to the bathroom to wash her face as she said before going into the living room of their suite.
There's a lot of food placed on the table between the couches. He carefully places her on the couch and lets her stare at it. Seafood and a lot of delicacies are there, she didn't know most of the dishes but the smell of them tells that they are delicious.
“What dish do you want first to eat baby?" Axiel asks in her side while arranging the utensils.
“I want the big shrimp baby. I love shrimps but it's my first time to taste a big shrimp like that baby." she wiggles while saying it. Her mouth watered while imaging her eating that big shrimp.
“Your wish is my command baby,” Axiel gets that shrimp ready to eat and places it on her plate with the sauce before handing it to her with a knife and fork. Surprisingly, Lyn put down the utensils on the table and begin to eat using her hand. It is okay because she washes it, Axiel smiled at her. He loves her so much that he feels happy even when Lyn eats up like a child, not a lady.
“Eat slowly baby, we will tell the kitchen if you eat those two shrimp, I will not going to get it from you.” he laughs while picking an adobo using his chopsticks. Eating formally not like Lyn.
“I can't help it, baby. It's very delicious and fresh. I want it when we go home.” she speaks while her mouth is full. Axiel put some rice and vegetables on her plate.
“I will tell the chefs in our mansion about that when we go home. It's my pleasure baby.” he agreed. He laughs when Lyn put the vegetables and rice back on his plates. Surely, Lyn will end up just eating that shrimps without rice or something.
“Don't put them again on my plate or I will not eat.” she pouted and continue eating. Let's say it's a threat. Lyn burp when she finishes the two big shrimp. Axiel gave her a glass of water and pineapple juice after.
