[I died...]
She felt as if her body was floating in air.
"While it's a shame that we couldn't use her to strengthen our connection with the Hinata Household, I suppose it all works out." Her aunt scoffed. "Good riddance. Now the Hinata Household can't blame us for the death of their second son."
[How dare that woman-]
"Mother, I don't think it's wise to say such words in public, especially in front of a grave." An older Himon tiredly whispered out. In an instant, she slapped him across the face. Nami flinched.
"Don't you dare admonish me!" Her words were unreasonable. "You're more useless than that second son of the Hinata Household!"
[To think this woman would actually hit her own son as if he was lower than trash...]
He kept quiet.
[What on earth... Get mad at her! You don't deserve to get yelled at and pushed around like that!]
However, her voice never reached him. After all, she was dead.
After her aunt left in a huff, Himon continued to stand in front of her grave.
"I'm sorry." Those were the only words he managed to whisper out. Soon, tears rolled down his cheeks.
[I forgive you.]
[The one I can't forgive is your mother.]
She wanted to comfort her cousin, but sadly, being a ghost never allowed her to do such an action.
"I'll avenge your death." He gingerly wiped his tears away with his sleeve. "And then I'll atone for my family's sin for the rest of my life. It might not be much, but I hope that this can appease your sorrow and despair from before."
[You don't need to do that... You have done nothing wrong.]
"I wish I talked to you more. You were always nice to me whenever we visited your parents. I even once wanted you to be my older sister." He confessed with a bitter smile. "But it looks like that will never happen..."
[Himon...]
"We took you away from the people you love, threatened their lives, and forced you into an engagement that could have ended with a loveless and violent marriage." He closed his eyes, furrowing his eyebrows in frustration. "There is nothing that can be forgiven."
[That's not true-]
"At the very least, rest assure that your loved ones will no longer be bothered and their lives are completely safe. I only wish I knew about this sooner... Perhaps then... I could have helped you." His eyes lost its shine and his smile thinned out. "A coward and a fool... That's what I am."
From his words, Nami cried unshed tears. She wanted to tell him that he was more honorable and stronger than most give him credit for. To have grown up in that hell with his mother and yet still become an upright person, he was the miracle that the world needed more of.
As she watched him walk away with sadness, she sat on top of her gravestone without care.
[I can't even move from this spot...]
[In the end, he's not here.]
[Does he even know...?]
She stared at the ground, tightening her fists.
[Would he even cry for me?]
Keep the reviews coming! :D
