My Parents Left Me At The Rest Area Chapter 11
“Happy birthday, Myra.” My mother cried. “I remembered it this time… These are your favorite flowers.” My father squatted before the grave and wiped my photo using his handkerchief. He was so gentle, as if he were afraid to wake me up. “Myra, I was wrong…” he whispered with a sob. “I shouldn’t have said that you were dilly-dallying… I shouldn’t have continued my journey… Please forgive me…”Mandy placed another small bouquet of white flowers, and Matthew placed his favorite toy car. The grass at the cemetery was rustled by the wind, and the sound it made sounded like a response or a sigh. Uncle Darren had rarely visited us since then. After that fight, their relationship took a turn for the worst. Even though they were still cordial on the surface, everyone knew that there was a permanent crack. My grandmother always sighed, “We used to be a tight-knit family, why did things turn this way…”Sometimes, when it was late at night, my mother would suddenly sit up in her bed a

They placed my photo in the middle of the display. It was a school picture that I took last year. I was wearing my school uniform as I smiled at the camera. My eyes were bright and full of life.Not many people came to my funeral. Most of them were my neighbors and my grandmother’s old friends. They looked at my photo, shook their heads, and sighed. “She was such a good kid; what a shame that she died like that…”“I heard that she froze to death at a rest stop. Why were her parents so careless?” “Poor thing. It’s supposed to be a joyous time, yet this happened…”My mother was kneeling before the coffin as she sobbed pitifully. She kept repeating, “Myra, I know my mistake… It’s my fault… Please come back to me…”My father stood next to her with tears in his eyes. He looked like he had aged ten years in a matter of days.Mandy was also crying sadly. She touched my photo and whispered, “Myra, I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have cut the queue the other day… I’m sorry…” Matthew had yet

The police looked up in disbelief. “You left a child alone at a rest stop and did not pick her up for four hours. You made her wait in such cold weather while she was wearing so little?”“We thought her uncle would arrive earlier…”My father’s voice trailed off.The police started flipping through his records. “Besides, according to the surveillance camera footage we obtained, her uncle arrived at the rest stop at 7:52 pm, but he only stayed there for a minute. He didn’t even get out of the car to look for her and immediately drove away.”Uncle Darren defended himself immediately. “I tried looking for her, but she wasn’t there! I thought my brother and sister-in-law had picked her up!” “Why didn’t you look for her when you didn’t see her? She’s only eight! You should at least have gotten out of the car and looked around or made a call to confirm her whereabouts!” The policeman was suppressing his anger. “Do you know that, according to the preliminary forensic report, her

Everyone suddenly became quiet. Only the TV was making sounds. “Alright… alright, we’ll head over now.” My father ended the call before collapsing against the chair, as if he had lost all of his energy. “Why? Who called you?” My mother’s voice was trembling.My father looked up with tears in his eyes. His lips were trembling. “The police said that someone found a frozen dead body of a female child at the rest stop. Their preliminary finding is pointing at… Myra.” “Impossible!” My mother screamed. “Impossible! How would Myra be…” She collapsed onto the floor before she could finish her sentence. My grandmother immediately rushed over to support her. Everyone was frantic. On the way to the police station, my mother could not stop crying. “My Myra… My Myra wouldn’t be dead… They must have made a mistake…” My father grabbed the steering wheel tightly, and his knuckles had turned white. He kept quiet the entire journey. Mandy was seated at the back as she sobbed. Matthew

Uncle Darren waved their concerns off. “Where would a young girl go? Maybe she followed some passerby home and purposely chose not to tell you. She probably wants you to feel anxious.”That was not the case!I kept refuting on the side, but I could not make a sound.My father looked angry as he pulled out his phone. Then, he dialed the two numbers that I had used to call him earlier. He first called the lady who lent me her phone. My father put his phone on speaker, and we all heard the lady say, “That’s right, she borrowed my phone. But she said her uncle would be fetching her, so I left. What’s wrong? Didn’t she manage to get into her uncle’s car?”Then, he called the man who lent me his phone. The man said, “She did borrow my phone, but she was still waiting at the rest stop after she made the call. I told her she could warm herself up in my car, but she was unwilling to do so. Why? Didn’t you manage to pick her up?” After both calls ended, everyone was silent. My mother

“Sure, let me see if I can make a booking.” They were discussing their New Year’s plan excitedly. They were talking about who and where to visit and what they should buy. I circled them happily and wanted to tell them that I wanted to go too. However, when I tried to speak, no sound came out. That was when I fully realized that I had died, that I could not join them. Mandy suddenly put down her phone and went to my mother. “Mom, my phone has run out of battery. Can I use your phone?” “You’re seriously addicted to your phone.”Even though my mother said that, she still lent her phone to her. Matthew also ran over and tugged on my father’s clothes. “Dad, give me some money. I want to buy some firecrackers!” “Why are you buying firecrackers? We’ll see some tomorrow.” Even though my father said that, he still took twenty dollars from his wallet. Matthew cheered and grabbed the money before he ran off. No one mentioned me at all. It was as if I never existed. My mothe
