Ok this story was finished, but there seems to be some confusion coming
from my reviewers. I was planning on just writing an explanation but my
friend convinced me to turn it into a new chapter! This will be the last
and final chapter to this story! I do hope you like it! Now on with the
story!
Mai hated doing chores! But her mom said since she was pampered so much over the weekend that she would be all ready to do some chores, while her mom went shopping. Typical mom.
Mai was presently dusting her mother's room. She was clearing off her book shelf when an envelope fell out of a book that was in the back. Mai picked it up and was about to put it back when she noticed it was addressed to her.
'Hmm, I wonder why mom would keep this from me,' Mai thought.
She saw that the envelope was unopened so she sat down on her mother's bed and opened it. She pulled out the letter and read:
Dear Mai,
I'm so sorry that I had to leave on your day. It's just I have this really important meeting in Egypt. I know you'll understand sooner or later. No matter where I am, you'll always be my valentine. But you won't always want your big old dad to be your valentine. I know someday you'll find your own valentine.
Don't miss me too much! I'll see you later!
Your first secret admirer,
Dad
Mai thought she was going to cry again. Her dad must have wrote this to her from the airport before he left. But why would her mom hide this from her?
"Hey Mai! I'm home!" her mom shouted from the front door, "Could you help me carry all of the groceries in?"
"Hey mom?"
"Yeah?"
"What's this?"
"Hmm, it looks like a letter, addressed to you."
"Yes mom I see that, but why was it in your room?"
Mai's mom looked confused. "I've never seen it before." Mai handed it to her and she read it. "Oh my! How did this get into my room?"
"You mean you've really never seen this before?!"
"No!"
Mai led her mom into her room and showed her the book it fell out of.
"Oh!" her mom said, "Your father sent me this book from the airport. After he...passed away, I could never bring myself to read it. So I ended up never opening it. I guess that's why I never found the letter."
Mai just sat there in silence.
"Hm," her mother laughed slightly, reading the note again, "Your father did always say that he was your #1 secret admirer." Then she walked out of the room.
Mai sat and thought about this for a little. Then it hit her!
'No, it couldn't have been,' she thought, 'could it? But the IM and the letter said...but it just couldn't have been him!'
She wondered and wondered about this until she fell asleep on her mother's bed.
Suddenly a man appeared out of thin air, standing next to the bed. He grabbed the covers and pulled them over the sleeping girl.
"Dad," she mumbled as she rolled over in her sleep.
The man smiled. "I'm glad you found your own valentines," he whispered, "Don't miss me too much. I love you Mai." Then he leaned over and kissed her on the forehead before disappearing again into nothing.
Ok, the story is now over! YAY!!!!!!! But if you're still confused, here is an explanation. Mai's dad did die on the plane crash, but he has come back as a spirit for a little while to make sure Mai has at least one good Valentines Day. He is secretadmirer#1! I really do hope that you enjoyed my story! Bye now!
