"Papá p..please don't leave us" my sobs continuously cracked out of my quivering lips as I stared at my dad's bloody body. A weak smile stretched out on his lips and  he lifted his shaky hand to touch my face.

"Maja, my sweetheart" he choked out which triggered the blood to spill from his mouth while the tears kept rolling down my cheeks at the heartbreaking sight of my father.

"D...dad please don't say a word, we would save you" I pleaded but as stubborn as he was he didn't give an ear to my pleas.

"I want you to know how much I..i love you tesoro. Everything I..i ever did in this life was for you and Martina cause you two are my most precious treasure. I..I'm sorry I wasn't able to save your mother but I'm glad my other two angels are saved.

M..my darling girl please take care of yourself and your sister. I'm aware of the fact that she's older but you my princess are very strong so I'm entrusting your safety and that of Martina's in your hands.

You're young sweetheart but I know your capabilities I... I noticed his eyes started dropping and his hand began slipping off my face. "Papá, papá please don't shut your eyes" I tapped his cheeks repeatedly hoping that it would have somehow kept him alive but i was wrong cause i watched his body fight for its last breath.

"Papá" I screamed out loud while staring at his limp body in shock and disbelief.

"Papá" i screamed and shot up from the bed with an irrational heartbeat movement. I ran my fingers in my hair with a puff from my mouth.

The memories played widely in my head, the pain causing a stinging sensation in my eyes which yielded the burning liquid to roll down my eyes.

I held the soft pillows to my chest and let it soak up my tears but it didn't seem to numb the pain in my heart. I tried my absolute best to hold in the tears but fuck it was harder than I remembered.

Soon my silent cries turned into loud sobs that was out of my control. "Papá" I muttered into the pillow while clenching into it to try and suck in the pain i was feeling.

I was so indulged in the foreign world of heart ache that I didn't hear the soft steps of Esmé until she was on the bed with me and I was engulfed into her floral scent. "Ms Maja?" Her soft voice served as a pill to my aching heart but it didn't seem to eradicate the pain completely.

She placed her little arm on my hand and i slowly turned my gaze to face her only to get locked into the mesmerizing beauty of her eyes.

"Why are you crying Ms Maja?" Her voice wavered at the end and I couldn't help the little smile that curved up my lips. I couldn't give her a reply cause it felt like my voice was stuck in the box that controlled it.

"Don't cry Ms Maja, you're more beautiful when you smile" the angel whispered and wiped my tears with her little palm but it only made the tears roll down more cause of her cute actions and how it stirred up emotions, emotions that I thought I killed in the last seven years.
