Each day, he devoted himself to her, hoping to bridge the chasm of silence that had enveloped them.

He would read aloud the headlines, the harsh realities of the world outside-news of the village being shut down, of justice finally catching up with the criminals. “Evelyn,” he began softly, his voice heavy with the weight of the news. “Billy’s in a mental hospital now. He’s completely lost it. The village chief and those two accomplices… they all got sentenced.” But there was no reply from Mama. The silence was deafening, an unyielding wall between them. Grayson turned to the poetry that once brought her joy in her youth, hoping to stir some flicker of recognition within her.

“Facing the sea, with spring blossoms…” he recited, his voice a gentle breeze against the stillness. Yet still, there was no response. He poured his heart out, recounting the fifteen long years he had spent searching for her, a journey fraught with despair and hope. “I traveled to countless villages, sifted through endless photographs, asked so many people… Each time, disappointment washed over me, yet I never lost faith,” he confessed, his voice trembling with the weight of his memories. But Mama remained unresponsive, a statue of grief.

I floated beside them, an invisible witness to their sorrow, my heart shattering with each passing moment. Mama, please, look at me. I’m right here, just a breath away. I yearned for her to awaken from this slumber of despair, but I was powerless to change her fate. A week later, the autopsy report arrived, a cold document that shattered whatever semblance of hope remained. Seven broken ribs. Three had pierced her lungs. A ruptured liver. Long-term malnutrition. The cause of death: a punctured lung and internal bleeding. When my family read the report, the air thickened with anguish.

My grandfather, overwhelmed by the revelation, hurled his teacup to the ground, the sound a shattering echo of their collective grief. My grandmother, unable to bear the weight of the news, fainted, collapsing into a haze of sorrow. My uncle, determined to honor my memory, arranged a grand funeral that would be talked about for years to come. The mourning hall was draped in black, a somber testament to loss. White flowers adorned every corner, their beauty a stark contrast to the sadness that hung in the air.
