The rain falls, dropping droplets of water with one purpose in mind: the ground. It cooled the air, delighted other small creatures and perhaps even sang happily. But not the family that the General left behind. Every drop of rain that touched their bodies, offered sorrow, adding to the emotion of letting go of the person they loved the most. As the General's body was put into its final resting place with all the honor due to him. Every moment of the past flashed back. Alice was no exception. Alice's memory of the first and last time her grandfather made an impression on her, made her unable to cry. 'Goodbye, Grandpa. Thank you for finding me and loving me. I'll do what you want. I will be happy, I promise. Thank you for being such a great grandfather. I love you…' Alice was so sad that she had to hold Lion upright. In the arms of the man who loved her, Alice shed her tears. "The General is sleeping peacefully, Rose. Live your life happily too, as your grandfather said. I will al

"Do you want to know about my daddy, Sunny?" asked Shine, "Have you met him before?" he continued."Hmm," replied Sunny, nodding."Really? When did you meet my daddy?""Earlier, at Great Grandpa's funeral. That uncle helped me when I was about to fall, and when I saw his face, why do we look so much alike?""Is that all that happened?" Shine asked briefly.Sunny shook his head, "No. I asked Uncle for his mobile phone and when I looked at the screen, there was a picture of Mommy smiling at Uncle, and I asked about it, but he didn't seem to want to tell me anything. That's what upset me."'No wonder. You met your own daddy,' Shine thought happily."Then what do you feel about my daddy? Do you think he's a good person?" asked Shine."Yes, I think your dad is a good person, and his leadership aura is very strong. Just like my dad. Besides he's handsome and we both look alike. I feel comfortable around him. What do you think, Bro?" Sunny discussed this with his brother."What you feel and

The moment Lion left, Alice ran around trying to catch up with Lion and stop him from leaving. But unfortunately, Lion was nowhere to be seen."He's been gone since earlier," Sean said. They were now alone because Shine and Sunny were packing their things to go home with Sean. Alice, who heard Sean's words, was silent and still struggling with her own thoughts."So what? It seems like Sunny's daddy allowed his son to come with me. Can I take him with me?" asked Sean.With her mind still muddled when she heard Sean's question, Alice suddenly gave an unexpected expression. She squeezed Sean's shirt as she pushed Sean's body to lean against the sofa, and again, her face turned angry."I won't let you take my son. He's my son and only mine. You have no right to take him!" Alice said seriously, and this confused Sean.Her eyes were as sharp as a hawk ready to target its prey. Her breathing was heavy and it was obvious that she was angry at the moment."Mommy?" called Shine and Sunny simu

In the chill of the night, Sean sat alone at the edge of the swimming pool with a can of beer in hand as his companion looked up at the sky. It was his habit after every dinner."Can you tell me what Shine meant by that? For God's sake, I look like an idiot in front of you." Alice began to demand an explanation."Since you didn't ask, I just kept quiet. I was also surprised by your ignorance of my life. You avoided and avoided me so much that you didn't even want to know how I was doing," Sean said calmly and sounded sad.Alice was silent and could not answer. It was true that Alice had been avoiding any news about Sean even if she wanted to."I assume your silence is the truth, Alice." continued Sean who had now turned to Alice."Alice, other than my life changing completely after your departure, my heart is still the same. I have always loved you and there is no way I will let another woman occupy this house full of memories with you," Sean began to explain, "I am not married to any

A man's voice sounded angry behind Rose. In an instant, Rose stopped her attack on the men who were bothering her earlier and raised both hands up.Meanwhile, Sean's face turned tense as he saw his wife being held at gunpoint in front of him."Stop it. Don't do anything!" Sean shouted as he walked closer.The direction of the tip of the firearm of the bearded man who was suspected of being a mobster was towards Sean."You also stop in your place if you still love life!" said the man loudly to Sean, "Get all my customers out of this place right now!" he continued to his men who mingled with bar patrons.One by one, the patrons scattered to get out to save themselves from the excitement of the place."Who are you people? Why are you making a scene in my neighborhood?" the man asked in an angry tone."We're looking for our friend who seems to be lost in this place. Have you seen him?" asked Rose calmly and seemingly relaxed even though death was right in front of her eyes.‘Alice, you're
