Ximena
“Common, Ximena, we need to bury father.” Kushim muttered as he sat on the floor beside me. I was staring into the abyss, wondering how mother would cope without her mate, the man she had loved all her life.
“It’s fine— We need to be strong for mom. We need to comfort her— Let’s go.” He urged as he stood up and stretched his hand out to me which I accepted with a faint smile.
We both headed to the house where people were with Aarav trying to comfort mom who couldn’t stop sobbing.
“It’ll be fine mom, we need to perform the rites.” I muttered and she nodded, finding it hard to control her tears.
The next day the burial rites began and after fulfilling everything, father’s body was burnt and his ashes were scattered across the river.
It was a very painful day and I just wanted it
