Chapter 99: Chapter 99

SIMOUNE

I woke up to the noise I heard from the living room, so I immediately got up and went to the kitchen. I saw mommy cooking food that might be for the guest later. I looked for Bruce and saw him helping to arrange Nanny Lily's coffin because in a few hours we would be leaving and heading to the church

"Simoune, eat here and take a bath" Mommy said

"Yes mommy thank you" I said and then I sat on the chair and started eating

"Oh, are you awake babe?" Bruce asked

"Yes, I just came down today" I said

"That's good, after you eat, take a shower because we're going to church" Bruce said

I just nodded and then I focused on eating breakfast. I also miss eating because I almost lost my taste because I haven't been able to eat for a few days. It's good and now my body is getting better and I'm recovering from what happened to me for the past few days. After I ate, I immediately went up to the room and took a shower. After I showered and got dressed, I looked for a shade to use for later. I immediately went downstairs and saw that Nanny Lily's coffin was no longer in the living room because it was already outside

"Come on Simoune, we're going to church" Mommy said while approaching me

I immediately went out and looked for Bruce's car and then I got in, I'm ready for this day but that doesn't mean I won't cry. Losing and leaving a loved one is still heavy for me, so I cried when I was on the trip

"Always remember that I'm always here for you babe" Bruce said

"I know that you won't leave me, it's only mine that hurts me that Nanny Lily is gone, but I'm fighting it and struggling unlike last day" I said

"Late night, I'll go home to get some things and I'll accompany you to your house so that somehow you have someone to cook your food every day and also so that you have someone with you" Bruce said

"How about them mommy? Won't they be angry with me?” I asked

"They won't be angry with you because it was my decision and it doesn't mean that I won't go to your house, I will still visit to them but for now I will go with you" Bruce said

"Thank you for everything you do for me, I love you" I said

When we got to the church, I went to the front while I was wearing the shade and I cried when the mass started, a few minutes later everyone had to message each to Nanny Lily who was close to Nanny Lily and immediately they spoke Lucy , Mommy and Bruce when they finished I stood up and immediately grabbed the mic

"I still can't fully imagine that Nanny Lily is gone, there is no Nanny Lily to cook, take care of me. At first I thought it was okay, that her sickness would not come back because we got out of the hospital and the doctors said she was okay. But why is that? Why are you so shocked to leave Nanny Lily? I even thought you would be the one to come with me to my graduation day which is tomorrow but you didn't wait for that, I'm already disappointed with daddy and I'm still disappointed with you. But during the 5 days that I cried and locked myself in the room, I realized a lot because even daddy entered my dream only to be told to eat and take care of myself, and daddy is right I have to take care of myself because there are many people waiting for me and it's not too late. Thank you for all the love and care Nanny Lily, thank you for the many years with you! I love you so much Nanny Lily! You may now rest and piece" I stated

I sat down while holding the handkerchief because of the tears that fell from my eyes. It felt heavy but I could handle it because I knew that this is what daddy wanted for me. To face all the problems and finish so that no one else has to think about it.

After the mass we immediately went to the cemetery, one by one we dropped flowers and when I dropped flowers on Nanny Lily's coffin I whispered "Goodbye, be careful wherever you are" after I said this I threw the flower and then I went next to Bruce

After burying Nanny Lily, we immediately went to the house and warmly welcomed the guests. There were so many people, almost all of them were acquaintances of daddy and the rest were my classmates. We didn't do anything else but take care of them, during the day Lucy's parents immediately ran to me and told me goodbye

"Simoune, we are going home because we are still early for our work tomorrow. Condolences again" Auntie said

"It's okay, thank you for Nanny Lily's complaint and care, please be careful" I said

They hugged me and then they left the house, a few minutes later my classmates also went home and Bruce's parents also went home. Bruce and I cleaned up the food and then we rested, a few minutes later mommy said goodbye to me

"Dear, I'm going home. Your siblings haven't seen me in a few days, so I'm worried about them because there's no one else to take care of them but me" mommy said

"It's okay mommy, thank you again for helping and going" I said

"If you need help or companionship in this house, I can, but I can't live here because you know I have children" mommy said

"No mommy, don't think about me anymore because from now on Bruce will be with me here. According to what he told me" I said

"Is that so? That's good because you'll have someone at home with you. Oh okay, I'm leaving because my flight back to another country is now" mommy said

She hugged me and then completely left the house. As the time went by, there were fewer and fewer people, so Bruce and I never finished cleaning. After dinner, there was no one at home, so we finished cleaning. I left Bruce in the living room and went to my room and set up my work.

A few minutes later, Bruce came to my room and looked very tired

"Babe? Did you know that?" Bruce asked

"Which?" I asked

"Our graduation day is tomorrow, I just noticed it now because I just now read the announcement post about graduation day" Bruce said

"Is that so? After I'm here at work, I'll prepare what I'll wear and things I'll bring for tomorrow. How are you? Are you going home now?” I said

"Yes babe, I will get things and of course I will talk to mommy. When you can't stay up anymore, don't wait for me because I'll be home soon, just do what you need to do. Okay?” Bruce said

"Yes, be careful" I said

He kissed me on the forehead and then he completely left my room. I just quietly focused on my laptop monitor because I was a bit overwhelmed with things to do. I didn't even realize the time because I seemed to be used to the work I was doing, a few minutes later my duty was over so I immediately put my things away and then I went to my cabinet

I have so many clothes that I don't know what to wear, almost the rest I haven't used yet. I was stunned for a few minutes until I saw the red dress hanging. It's so beautiful and it's perfect for my graduation day tomorrow, I took it and then measured myself correctly because it's beautiful and fits me right.

I put away the things that I will bring tomorrow and then lay on the bed, I looked at the clock and saw that it was 12 midnight. I was already sleepy but until now Bruce wasn't there so I didn't realize it because I fell asleep on my own because my eyelids were too heavy.
