Part 6 || 22 - Goodnight, Daddy

"Hopefully you all had the chance to see his college pictures or from highschool and not to sound weird or anything, but when he showed me those pictures, I was like - 'Dad's hot, more than my mum. She doesn't even stand a chance'" I laughed a little and continued, "When I started knowing about our family business, he used to take me to his business trips and meetings, introducing me as 'The future of Y/L/N Co.' which I'm pretty sure is Julius, but he was so proud of me. The woman I am today, is his doing. Right from the start, he taught me to be good, to be passionate and to be hardworking. Up until the age of sixteen, all my problems consisted of school work or my job or something like that. But since sixteen, I have had problems with love, with my job, with people hating on me, with bullying and everytime he was there. I always thought that I would rely on my friends to cry about my problems but my first thought was always my father"

"Sometimes hours can feel like minutes and sometimes a single second can last a lifetime. For me, the second that would never end was when he said his last words to me - 'Pumpkin, I hope you know that I love you and I'm so proud of the woman that you've become! You'll always be my little baby girl and I'll always be your hero. I love you so much' I did answer to him that time but..." I turned to his portrait with tears in my eyes.

"I love you too, Daddy. I look forward to the day we see each other again"

"Erm, my dad loved my voice, so before we say our final goodbye to him, I'd like to sing for him one last time" I said before we would bury the casket.

I sat on the seat in front of the piano that we have had arranged for this. I started playing the piano slowly.

"You taught me the courage of stars before you left... How light carries on endlessly, even after death... With shortness of breath... You explained the infinite... And how rare and beautiful it is to even exist" I started singing after playing the piano. Closing my eyes, I thought of everything he taught me.

"I couldn't help but ask for you to say it all again... I tried to write it down, but I could never find a pen... I'd give anything to hear you say it one more time... That the universe was made just to be seen by my eyes" My voice broke a little when I realised that I'll never hear him again. That I won't be able to learn new things from him. That I won't have his hugs. Or kisses.

That now, he's only a memory.

"I couldn't help but ask for you to say it all again... I tried to write it down, but I could never find a pen... I'd give anything to hear you say it one more time... That the universe was made just to be seen by my eyes"

"With shortness of breath... I'll explain the infinite... And how rare and beautiful it truly is that we exist" I opened my eyes and I thought I saw him smiling at me. I stared into space where I thought I saw him and smiled at him one last time.

I stood next to Robert, he placed a hand around my shoulder. I rested my head on his chest as the casket was lowered into the ground. I stayed there for hours talking to his gravestone.

Tom's POV

When Emma told me about Y/N's Dad, I quickly booked a flight and headed there. I attended the funeral too, being very careful not to be seen by Y/N, when she said the euology, I left the Church but stayed behind the door and heard every word.
