Always find peace in others happiness

Ana sat down beside the grave and started picking up the dry leaves. She cleaned the grave then put the white rose on it.

Hi mommy,

I am sorry because I wasn't with you when you say goodbye to the world. You know, mommy when the doctor told me you are no more, my heart was broken into two-piece. One piece is with me which is full of your memories and the other piece died with you.

When mom, dad left I didn't feel the pain that I am feeling now. That time I didn't feel the pain because you were there to embrace me in your arms. But, now I am feeling pain mother. It is hurting. It is hurting so much.

You know mommy I wasn't been able to sleep at night since I have lost you. Every night when the world is fast asleep, I take a walk in the memory lane with tears on my cheeks.

Remembering you is the easiest thing mom, which I do every day. But when I feel you will never come back, my heartache with pain.

Missing you is a heartache mommy which never goes away. I wish I could hug you the last time mommy.

You were my angel mommy. I will hold you tightly in my heart and there you will remain forever.

You are right, my life will go on at its usual speed. But it will be never the same as before.

You took care of me until your last breath. You never let me feel alone. You were always there for me when I need someone. When my own parents thrown me away from their lives as a dirty trash you embraced me.

You were my hero mommy.

I love you mommy. I love you so much.

Ana whispered while sobbing hard. She put her head on the grave and started recalling her mother's last words.

My dearest Ana,

You know when I first saw you I thought you are an angel. Because you were the innocent and cute baby I ever seen in my life. My dear I want you live your life happily. Lever let grief bigger than your happiness...

I want you fulfilled your all wish. I want you gain your goal. I want you become strong dear. You have to be strong because the world is so cruel. If you show yourself weak then the world will never let you live in peace. It will destroy you. No matter what happened in life always stay strong.

And never give up whatever happened.

You know dear you used to be a crazy fan of Cinderella's story. You used to ask me will a price like the book will come your life or not?

Today, I will answer to your question. Yes, dear one day a man come in your life and take you with him. He will make you his queen dear.

I know you must be angry with me for hiding this truth that I am suffering from cancer along with heart diseases. Doctor told me I don't have much time left. Yes, dear I am going leave this world, I am going to leave you.

I knew if I told you about my diseases. You would have broken, you would have forgotten your goal and most importantly you would have loss yourself with me.

I know dear my death will leave a wound on your heart but the wound you heal with time dear. Time will make everything okay again. You have to start strong. Don't drowned in pain. I want you achieve your goal.

My death is a hard test for you and you need to pass it.

If life give you any difficult test never give up because,

Every test came in our life to make us bitter or better.

Every problem come in your life to break you or make you. Every pain come in your life to make you strong or weak

And choice is ours, whether to be the Victim or the Victor

Never thought that you just born to take pain. Always remember pain and happiness just like a coin. So when the coin will turn happiness will atomically fell on you dear..

Always remember my word.

And your mother loves you so much dear. So much"

Ana raised her head.

"I love you too mommy. It's doesn't matter you are my biological mother or not. I just know I love you" Ana said then stood up.

Bye mommy

Ana come out of the graveyard. She opened the car door and got in. Then she started the car.

After two hours she stopped her car in front of the cloth store.

Ana got down from the car. She locked the car then she entered the store.

"Hey, Ana" Kate her co-worker greeted her.

"Hey," Ana said and put out her uniform from her locker.

"What happened? Your eyes are red. Did you cry?" Kate asked her.

"Nothing, Kate. I just went to visit mommy" Ana said while wearing her uniform. 

"It is okay to cry, Ana. You don't need to hide your tear from me" Kate said

"I know but I don't want to become weak like your fantasy heroin" Ana said.

Kate laughed hearing this. She loved fantasy and Ana had a problem with it.

"What is your problem with fantasy? Why do you dislike it?" Kate asked her

"I don't know. I just don't like illogical things. I always found this irrigating and you are crazy fan of it" Ana said and come out from the dressing room.

"Anyway, the Halloween party is coming soon. The owner wants to add something different this time. She wants to increase our sales" Kate said

"Good idea. I have a plan" Ana said and Kate laughed.

"Don't think about giving her your ideas after what you did to her. It is your luck that she did not kick her out from there" Kate said

"Oh come on. I did not do a big thing. It was just a joke. She made me do overtime when I was not ready for it" Ana said

"And for this, you put a lizard in her food. You mixed the dead lizard in the chicken. She ate the chicken without noticing the dead lizard" Kate said making a disgusting face.

Ella laughed at her expression.

"All thanks to your beauty. The owner did not kick you out because she knows half of the male customers came here to see you. If she kicks you out then it will be a great loss for her" Kate said

"I am not a showpiece, Kate. She made me work overtime because some rich customers were coming. She thought if I show them around they will buy things from here. It is so disgusting" Ana said and put her things in her locker.

"Well, I know it is wrong. But still, I suggest you do not give any idea to her. Though I don't think she will listen to you. She got hyper every time she face you" Kate said and Ana laughed then they both came out from the staff room and started working.
