Tears started to leave my eyes the moment I saw my mother inside the coffin; she wears a white dress which made her like a bride and her make-up made her even prettier.
I smiled and held my tears, knowing that the most beautiful creature in the world will leave me and live with the Moon Goddess in the divine world after her burial. My mother will be happy there but I will be alone here.
My father then came to comfort me. He stood next to me while caressing my mother’s side of the coffin. His eyes pointed at my mother who was lying inside the coffin.
“Do you have any idea why your mother’s body is still here for a week?” My father started.
I shook my head because I have no idea about it. The Red Bloods usually do burial three days after the death day, but not with my mother.
