My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

During the weekend, I went out earlier in the morning. Anne was still too young, so I couldn't take her to the cemetery.

Hence, I drove to the cemetery alone.

It was almost March. The morning sun was not too bright nor too hot. Perhaps because it rained before, large dews could be seen outside.

The cemetery was relatively empty since it was still early in the day. The only visitors there were seen taking turns stepping on the bluestone slabs and praying to their deceased loved ones.

Standing in front of Grandma's tombstone and looking at her photo that had started to fade, I was lost in thought for a long time.

"Grandma, I think I've ruined my life. All of you have left and I'm all alone now. Please help take care of my child on the other side..."

I tried not to focus too much on the aching in my heart as I took a deep breath and stopped talking. The dead continued to rest in peace while the living continued living healthily.

When I noticed that someone was behind me, my body stiffened. I instinctively knew that it was Hendrix.

I didn't turn around at first, but after a long time, I sighed in defeat and turned anyway. I didn't look at him at all as I walked out of the cemetery.
