“What? no oo oh, she can’t be dead” Daniel cried.

“You’re

Days later.

Daniel has fully recovered and has been discharged

from

the hospital. He tried not to believe that Ella was dead,but,

the

evidence his mum showed him has proven that she’s

really

dead. He kept staring at the grave in the graveyard

boldly

written” In memory of miss Ella. we missed you” tears

dropped

from his eyes the more. If someone should tell him

that

Ella is dead, he won’t believe.but, her grave has already

proven it all.

“Ella, so you are truly dead?” Daniel cried shaking his

head.

“Oh God, oh God” Daniel screamed more loudly. He

doesn’t

seen the reason of living without Ella. he wished, he was

dead.

“You

once told me, that only death could tear us apart.

You

are wrong, because, we will always be together. You

will

always be in my heart Ella, for ever. I’m sorry. I’m so

sorry” Daniel

said and broke down in tears the more.

“I’m

so sorry. mummy’s sorry. she’s really hurt. she’s so

sorry;

and so, she gave you a be-fitted burial. Oh God, Ella

Ella who was screaming, trying to move her leg. meanwhile, she’s

already

standing up closer to a wall in the dining room.

“Move it,

yes move it. good” Doctor mike said to Ella who was

struggling

to move her leg.

“I can’t” Ella responded.

“you can” Doctor mike told her.

“I can’t”

“keep on trying. move, move” Doctor mike said to Ella.

“I

can’t” Ella responded falling to the floor. Doctor mike

rushed

to her. He helped her up, handing her walking stick to

her.

she screamed. She managed to help herself with the

walking

stick down to the sitting room and sat on a cushion.

doctor

mike sat opposite her looking at her.

“I

disappointed you right?” Ella asked feeling sad.

doctor

mike shook his head negatively.

“Do you know why I brought you to my house to

stay?” doctor mike asked.

“I guess,because I have nowhere else to go” Ella

responded.

“Not really” He answered.

“then why?” Ella asked.

“The moment I saw you in that hospital ward. My

heart

went out. I don’t know precisely why, but like a father

to

a daughter. I wanted to help” doctor mike said.

“Thank

you very much sir” Ella responded.

“You

don’t seem happy?” Doctor mike asked Ella who

was feeling sad.

“I want to tell you a little story. I was once married,

but,

my wife died six years ago” Mr. mike said.

“I’m so

sorry sir” Ella responded in a sympathetic way.

“There’s

no need to be. They say, time heals all wounds. I

have

tried to believe that but”

“what happened to her sir? was she ill?” Ella asked.

“she

died of grieve. I once had a daughter, if she was to

be

alive now, she will be about the same age with you.

we

gave her everything; at least,

we

tried. I must blame myself to be concern about my

work

that I didn’t notice when my little baby took drugs.

probably,

I wasn’t a good father” Doctor mike said standing up

with tears.

“She died of overdose drugs. the grieve was too much

for

my wife,so, she also died a year after”

“I’m so sorry sir”

“we all make mistakes. But, the greatest mistakes upon,

it’s

for us to delay to learn from our past mistakes. This

life

has taught me something. I have to be in the hospital

now” He

said and left with tears. Ella also broke down in tears

when

she remembered her love ones who died accidentally.

the

tears increased the more when she thought about her

love,

Daniel and why he hasn’t come looking for her.

At Austin’s hotel.

Daniel sat on a chair with his table empty. He wasn’t

there

to eat nor drink. Rather, he was there to think about his

broken

world. He kept staring at Ella’s picture which he was

holding

on his hands. It pains him that, what he treasured

most

is gone.” why Ella” He broke down in uncontrollable

tears.
