Chapter 16 : last word

Lily embraced lincoln with tears falling everywhere. Lincoln only saw lily with a sad expression because, lincoln did not think that lily would become like him. Lincoln saw the condition of lily is very concerned. Lily has some bruises on her face. Lincoln immediately examined the wound. Though the wound was not too dangerous, lincoln turned into a person she feared. His eyes were filled with a sense of hatred towards the person who doing this. "Lily who did all this? ". lincoln asked this to lily with a firm tone and intonation. Lily was afraid of lincoln right now because, lincoln's gaze was like intimidating someone and she could see his prominent muscle fiber. "I just stumble on something lincoln, you do not have to worry about me." Said lily with a calm expression.

"Okay lily, let's go to my house and tell me why you sleep on the street."

Lincoln told lily to go to lincoln's house. lily turn around and not staring at lincoln. he did this because lily felt that she did not deserve this. lily is silent and does not answer anything. "listen lily, you're different from the others so, do not feel guilty for yourself. now come with me to my house "said lincoln to lily with a firm tone. Lily could not fight lincoln because she was scared. So, lily obeyed the word from lincoln and followed him to his house. upon arrival at lincoln's house, lily paused and bowed her head. Lincoln gives rooms for lily. The room is very large and filled with some expensive technology. Tv, high end computer, air conditioner, king bed size and anything. Lily was surprised to see this all because all the things that are in her new room is an expensive thing.

"listen lily, this is your new room. Let's just say this is your home. You should take a bath lily. "After that, lincoln heard lily stomach rumbling. It is clear that lily has not eaten anything yet. "Okay lily, take a bath. after that come to the dining room I will make you some delicious food. "Said lincoln with a warm smile. Lily obeyed his words. after a few minutes, lily went into the dining room and saw lots of delicious food. Lincoln watched the lily drooling. "Let's eat lily." Said lincoln with a warm smile. Lily returned all this with a warm smile. After twenty minutes they eat, lily feels full and happy because she can eat this delicious food. Lily's father is a famous restaurant owner in royal woods. Although lily's father can make a very tasty meal, lincoln food can match his father's cuisine.

"Well lily, why are you sleeping on the street?"

"..."

"Did you ran away from your house?"

Lily can not answer that question so she just stays in front of Lincoln. Lincoln believes that lily is ran away from her home because, he sees in the lily bag a lot of dirty and torn clothes.

"Lily, do you know what this is?" Lincoln showed his old school project when he was 11 years old and still living in royal woods.

"It is your school project lincoln," said lily while bowed her head.

"Answer my question lily, did you run away from your house?"

"... yes"

"Why did you ran away from your house?"

"I feel disgusted with them lincoln. I don't want to live with them anymore. they've been hiding about you from me since I was little until the events that are in luna concert. I've seen family photo in the attic and I see you there. I ask everyone who is he? they replied that I should stay away from this person because this person had killed someone. I'm sorry lincoln ... I've said that you're a murderer. I already feel annoyed with my family. What they do to you, it's unforgivable and I'm at it all. because of that I left my house and lived as homeless. I can't facing you Lincoln. "

Lincoln saw the lily crying there. Lincoln was saddened by what lily went through.

"lily listen, do not feel guilty okay. You have nothing to do with this, okay. I did not force you to leaving your family but if you want to stay here, I will always accept you Lily. "

"Lincoln ... do you want to forgive them for what they did."

"I don't know either lily. But, I just want them to be happy. Indeed what they do is inhumane but revenge will not solve anything. "

"What if they try to come to you and apologize to you, will you forgive them?"

"I still don't know lily, I don't know the answer to that question. How's the royal woods when they know the truth? "

"I do not know much about that lincoln because, I've run away after a day of the incident. What I know is, the condition of the royal woods has become chaotic. "

"chaotic? why is chaotic? "

"I heard from people that the city of royal woods is not what it used to be. The city became a city filled with depressed people. Maybe because they know the truth. Can I know, what the royal woods people did to you lincoln? "

"... do you want to know the truth? "

"Yes lincoln. I want to know the truth. "

"Alright then. When they consider me like a murderer, I am treated like a monster that must be removed. Kicked, beaten, spat even fired with firearms. "Lincoln remove his shirt and lily sees a lot of horrible scars on his body. Burn wound, knife cuts, gunshot wounds. "I got this gunshot wound on my right shoulder, when I was twelve. I was shot by some of the people who are in royal woods I can not remember who they are. whereas, the burn scars are on the left shoulder to the abdomen, it's because there are some people who throw a liquids to me, I forget who did this to me. While the knife cut wound on my forehead, this is because Lynn hit me hard. for the wound on my back is because, lori hit me into the cliff and just left me behind. when I fell to the cliff, I was getting hit a barbed wire and plants with something sharps. As for the wound on my chin, lola did this. and lastly, this wound is in my right eye, it's because I have an accident on my working place. "As lincoln finished telling his story, lily saw lincoln with feeling sad and shocked when she knew how lincoln got the wounds.

"I guess, it makes sense for royal woods to be filled with depressed people, but I've forgotten all about it. you do not think if I forgive them, I just forget these wounds because, there is no use for revenge because of these wounds lily. The most important thing in my life is, keeping the people that I love lily, that's all. You do not need to be sad because of what happened to me. You're not involved in this, okay, and I'm sorry if I didn't attend as your big brother for a long time, "Lincoln hug Lily and said" I'm sorry Lily. I've left you for a long time. "Lily was crying on Lincoln's shoulder." Therefore, I want to be your big brother now and I will not leaving you again. I'm not forcing you to leave your old family but, I already have a new name and adoption family. All the decisions are in your hands lily. "Lincoln's words made lily want to leave her old family and join the new family of Lincoln. This will not be easy but, lily wants to do it. But she can not just leave her old family. Even though they have done evil things against lincoln, she has a golden heart. she can't leave her real family. although family members do something that is not unforgiveable, you should forgive them because a success will not be complete with a sad family. Therefore.

"Lincoln before that, let's meet our old family first." Two weeks after that, they both decided to go to the royal woods to meet their old family. Lincoln has the same feelings as lily. But even though they went to their old family it did not mean they forgave them but they came to say their last words to their family, after that lily decided to live with Lincoln and move to a new family. when they were heading to royal woods, they saw a crowd carrying logs and some iron pipes, lincoln and lily out to see this. "Excuse me, what is this?" Said Lincoln, holding Lily's hand. "There is the louds there which we must destroy it Lincoln." Said the man who carried the spade. Instantly, lincoln and lily had a shocked expression. When they see the condition of their old family, they feels sorry for them. their old family kneeled in front of many people in the hope of meeting lincoln and saying that they are guilty all this time. this reminds how lincoln came to them and done like this by them. Lincoln went straight to them and shouted "hey! Disband everyone. This is not a show. " . "but lincoln, they are the ones who cause you to be like this!" Said the man who carried the iron pipe. "Violence will not solve anything. All of you go back to your home. let me take care of this. "Lincoln said with a intimidating aura and a firm tone.

After everytone is goe, Lincoln sent all their family members to Lincoln's house. lori, leni, luna, luan, lynn, lucy, lana, lola and lisa were surprised that lily had been with lincoln all this time. their own conditions are the same as what they did to Lincoln, bruises and blood everywhere. Based on the information obtained by Lincoln, the louds and people from the Royal Woods always came to Kyouya City to look for Lincoln, but the story of Lincoln had already spread to Kyouya city. Even so, the kyouya people agreed not to publish Lincoln story to everyone. Because kyouya people know what the louds are doing to Lincoln is inhuman, they are doing the same thing as what the louds did to Lincoln. Lincoln felt a little pity for what had happened to them. in lincoln cars, they just bowed their heads and did not say anything. Arriving at lincoln's house, they are silent and silent. "Lily got a medicine box. The medicine box is near on the TV. "Lincoln told Lily to get the medicine box. "God, how can you get this? You know that your arrival here won't change anything. "

"Lincoln ... sorry"

That words didn't stop lincoln, lincoln still treated their wounds and did not respond to anything. Lily just saw them all with a fierce look. Lily is a cheerful child and never shows anger to anyone but, because Lily knows the true story, Lily becomes a different person to her old family. she became a cold person to her old family.

Lincoln I know what we are doing and we know we can't be forgiven, but please forgive us, Lincoln." Said Lori. "We cannot be forgiven Lincoln, but we beg you to forgive us all," Leni said, crying. "dude we feels like garbage in this world. please lincoln, forgive us. "Said luna. One by one, they all said the same words and hoped Lincoln would forgive them. "Where is mom and dad?" Said Lincoln. "dad and mom are in the hospital." Said lola. "Why are they hospitalized?" Says lincoln. "If because they were beaten by people here then you already know the answer right," said Lincoln. "What do you mean lincoln?" Says leni. "What I mean is, your arrival doesn't mean anything anymore. I do not know if I should forgive you all or not. because of that, forget about me. Live your own lives. for me revenge will not bring any kind of good to anyone, I have no concern about this problem. I want you all to live happily. Therefore, just forget about me and let me live happily. "Said Lincoln with a flat expression. The louds heard this with a sad expression. What lincoln said was true, even though they were motivated by the royal woods to come to Lincoln and apologize to him, all this was in vain because Lincoln had no idea what he should do to them. "Lincoln, you are a member of our family. We know that what we do is unforgivable, but do you remember your words on the video during Luna's concert. You say "live a peaceful life with the people you love and your family." We are your family, Lincoln. indeed what we do cannot be forgiven but we want to apologize about it . "Lola said with a sad expression. "It's true what you say lola but, do you remember the next words? I said "while you still have them". I have come to you all the time and all I get is continuous injuries and wounds. I don't have any feelings for all of you. I'm not selfish or something but, that's what I feel for you. Because of that, it's better for you to forget me. alright it's done, I treat your wounds, you are allowed to go home. " With that, Lincoln left them as he left a patient who had been visited by their doctor. the louds are no longer hopeful after what happened. Lincoln is lost in their lives forever because of their mistakes. they are destroyed and don't know what they have to do with their lives again. they are mentally destroyed not physically. "Maybe, we will meet again somewhere". "Lincoln, please come back to home and live with us, linky!" Said Leni while holding Lincoln's legs. "Sorry leni I can't. I already have someone that i love and you do not need to know about it. " after that lincoln leave them in front of their house in royal woods. Lily did not follow them because, she was disappointed with her family. Lincoln has left the louds and lily has also been out of the louds family and following lincoln. "Before we leave here, we want to say our last words. You think we leave you because we hate you or we do not want to see you. well, you are wrong. We leave you because we are disappointed. We are disappointed with what you did to us. Disappointment and hatred are two different things. However, we are already forget it because we cannot always be like that. We also want to pursue the light of our own happiness. do you want to resign from your profession? Go ahead. We just want to move forward into our future. Lily decided to follow me because she wanted to follow me for some time I did not steal her or anything, I just made her become a better person than ever. Success is not only in the form of a career but from a happy family and hatred will only bring misery to anyone. I hope you guys get a lesson for you from all this. we say like this doesn't mean we just forgive all of you. I think wealth does not mean anything if we do not have a happy family because of it, I'm not exactly a successful person. I hope with all this happen, you turn into a better person and always think family first. Goodbye everyone. hope we can meet you again. "
