I opened that album and there were some pages which stated - "Dear Mimi, I know that when you will get this letter I will be long gone. I am so sorry I am not there on your birthday, " Happy Birthday, honey" congratulations for finally becoming an adult. Your mom is currently laying on this white bed not able to speak or eat anything. Do you know your father came today and he cried while talking to the doctor?. Maybe he also can't accept the fact that I am no longer there. You both are gems to me, dear "My Precious Gems" it's really hard leaving you both. I know that after I am gone your father will remarry to take care of you and will turn cold towards anyone and try to distract himself with the work but honey I promise you your father loves you as much as I do. Give him time, stay with him and please never hate him. " There were some more letters which she had written probably for her daughter but there was only thing which was very unsual. On the last letter there was one phase written in blood "Daughter never do that". I wasn't able to recognize " that" even after getting all the Mimi's memories. Even though those letter were filled with warm and sweet memories and some advices but still that one line couldn't let me close my eyes for even a minute. That night was really difficult to pass and my head was stressing out while thinking about that all I could recall was Mimi laying near her mother's side and crying while speaking something which was inaudible. Finally, it was morning while getting ready Mimi's dad came to my room and pleaded me to stay with him today as he wanted to take me somewhere. I agreed to his little request and skipped school for him. We both stepped out of the house and rode in his black luxurious car. He played some sweet melodies and stroke a casual conversation asking me about how I am, how's school going and etc. I just nodded in response which made him sigh and then finally, I started confessing his feelings to me. "See, I know after mom it's not easy to feel those pleasant memories ever and you must be thinking that I hate you or something but believe me dad I still love you as much as I did before I just don't know how to express it anymore and that's why whenever we talk I just stay silent because there are so many things I want to say it's like just a big mess in my head. I can't collect my thoughts and tell you that YES DAD I LOVE YOU and I don't blame you for what happened to mom". He whispered "I love you too, honey". After I was done with my speech I looked at him. I never saw him so vulnerable ever I always viewed him as a strong man who would never cry in his entire life. His eyes were filled with affection tears. He was sniffling and crying like a little kid which made me chuckle and soon after, we both shared a laugh together. While living Mimi's life I was forgetting about "Yu-Jun" and was enjoying living her life. I was so involved and shared so many intense moments with her family members and her friends which will always stay in my memories even after being turned into Yu-Jun. He parked his car and I saw a big basketball ground. "I know that your step mother don't let you play your favorite game anymore but today you can play until your heart is satisfied". With a smile, he came out of his seat and stood in the ground waiting for me to come out. I quickly unlocked the seat belt and came rushing towards him to hug him. I hugged him affectionately and said "You are the best Dad ever". He patted my head and grabbed a ball and dribbled it over while looking at me. I took it as an opportunity and stole the ball from him. " So dad are you ready for some match? ". He nodded and we both played an intense match. He appreciated me for my smart moves and was surprised to witness such great shots. Of course they will be brilliant as I was the team leader and the best player in the school. We played till evening and after the countless matches when we both were tired but still not satisfied. We decided to rest and eat something. He opened his car trunk and took some eatables out and offered it to me. We had food together and were laughing a lot. I don't remember any time of my life when I laughed so much, his dad jokes were actually extremely hilarious.


AUTHOR'S NOTE-
So, now Yu-Jun is getting habitual of Mimi's life. Let's see what other dangere and challenges are waiting for him. Stay tuned
