THE LIFE AFTER DEATH

He was laughing, the eight years old kid hiding something from his back,

He was running when I saw him at Devour people's favorite park,

He was playing and teasing by someone I thought his dad.

He was so happy, I was just standing watching them and I smiled.

There was a hand on my shoulder,

Dad Karl knelt down next to me,

He looked at me and then to that family,

“Do you want to play with them?” He asked,

I nodded and I realized “But they are strangers, I don't know them dad.”

“They're neighbors, come.” He stood up and took my hand.

I looked at mommy Yan, she was sitting on a long chair,

She smiled at me as telling me that I could go on.

The little kid and the man stopped playing,

“You guys here too,” The man I thought in his 30's of age greeted my father,

Dad put his hand on his hips, then said “It's nice to see your whole family here.”

“Weekends routine.” He proudly said and looked at his wife,

Dad smiled “Well, it's our first time, since we moved here again last week.”

“Devour is amazing town, staying back here is the best decisions you ever did.”

They chuckled together, I was there standing behind my dad,

I looked at him-to the young kid that looking at me too, he smiled,

I put my hand on my back, put down my head a little, I smiled back,

“Anyway let me introduce you, my Lil princess, my daughter Kymy.” He said,

“Oh wow, look at her the little angel's growing up now, I could still remember her pinky chick when she was born here.” He complimented.

He knelt down in front of me, I looked at him and to the kid again,

The man gently stroke may hair, “What a beautiful daughter, I wish I can have an angel like her.”

“Dexter! Is that Davy now?” Dad asked, his eyes to the kid,

The man stood up, “Yes! His eight years old now...Dave come!” The kid took a few step.

“I wish I can have an angel like him too,” Dad said and they laughed.

It was just too late to realize...

That was a conversation of two father didn't got what child they want.

Since that day, Davy and I became friends,

He was living in a house ten blocks far from my place,

Days passed by then... I didn't notice, I was playing too with Pia, Trishia and Mark,

I was six years old then when we moved in town and that was our first month.

Oneday...

I woke up, I was sleeping under the tree,

I heard familiar voices they were laughing without me,

I stood up, the sun was so bright, almost couldn't see anything,

The laughter became lauder and lauder and then I saw them,

I could hear them clear now but they were in a distance from me,

They were against the light, together looking at me,

After then, they ran and left me alone under the tree,

My heartbeat fasten, they waved at me and I felt melancholy.

I ran after them, I called out their names!

And I said “Wait for me! Don't leave me here!”

I was so scared, I was just looking at them,

I stumbled to the ground but I fell into the water.

I stood up, I scraped my knee, but there was no pain,

I got no time to wonder why I didn't feel anything.

I could still hear them laugh but I couldn't see them anymore,

I looked around and in just a blink of an eye I was already in the river of Devour,

I didn't get wet but I gradually felt cold,

Because of the sadness of loneliness, I cried like I lost.

My heartbeat was like in race and I heard my own ecoed cries,

I took a deep breathe, when I woke up that night,

I was gasping for the breath, I knew I was in a nightmare,

A dream from past to present again, I was sweating then, I stood up to drink water.

After I calmed myself I went back to my room,

I hugged my knees when I sat on the floor,

In the middle of silence I hummed to take my emotions in control,

I couldn't forget how everyone left me all alone.

Even I tried, I still cried, It had been a month like this every night,

I didn't feel anything like wanting to keep my messed up life,

I was living in a hell, I was around with the devils,

“Revenge” was all the reason I had for the seek of my loved one's souls.

I tried to forget those happy moments and memories,

I wanted to build my own battalion that could break my inner peace,

I didn't want anything could stop towards my goal,

I wouldn't let anyone be part again of mylife just to make it miserable.

After the crime, I choose my words to anyone, I didn't like talking to people anymore,

Even to my Uncle Kevin who sometimes paid a visit for me even I disfavour,

He supported me both emotionally, physically and financially,

He's my father's kinder younger brother from Fernandez family.

Out of worrisome he once asked if he could live with his family here,

He would bring his two son's and his wife but I didn't like to be insincere,

I told him that I can handle my self and let me live my life in my own,

And I asked a favor not to stop finding the killer for may parents soul.

He understood me as he always did,

I was just sixteen years old then so they kept it all in silent,

They had never been vocal about my parents death,

The wouldn't tell me too even I insist,

What all I knew they didn't stop to get the justice,

And with all my heart I promised to my parents grave,

That I, their daughter will make those sinners suffer and make them pay for my grieve.

Time passed by, I made it all alone,

No one tried to approach me as kinder as before,

I would not even approached them back I didn't trust anyone anymore,

My world were just my house after my time at school,

I had keep that way, few months to go I would finished high school.

And as my Uncle Kevin promised that he would send me to college,

I promised too to myself that every help I would received woud be worth it.

I learned a lot when mom and dad left,

I didn't just became stronger but I learned to live,

I could cook now my own food and do some chores,

I took care of myself and living with my own rules.

I was able to survive the day without thinking my old friends,

And those pains they've caused and how they turned as my biggest regrets.

Sometimes...

I had hard times of forgetting David Cruz,

And that moment when I ran to his house and called out his name,

That raining nights after the terrible crime,

I felt miserable and all I wanted was to see him,

Talked to him and I needed him as my crying shoulder,

I texted and called him on his phone,

He never made a response and he was unreachable,

I was just there in front of their house,

Hoping there's some one gonna came out,

I just gave up when an old lady approached me,

I bursted again into tears when she told me, “Young lady, Cruz family left the town today and moved to the city.”

I walked back home that night, I was living but literally dying inside,

Nowhere to run, no one was there for me, I couldn't feel even God,

I didn't know what's going on, even understand,

I had alot of unanswered questions which was all breaking my heart.

The flower that started to bloom was dying at same time,

There was no water that could heal the dying root and sun to make it shine,

“Help me! Help me! anyone can help me!?” She would shout to death.

In the middle of the night she was always crying for help.
