The cemetery.

The triplet was dressed in identical clothes, black shorts and white t-shirts. Same with Mina.

In their tradition, this colour of their wears symbolises respect for the dead, but unknown to Tyler, Taylor and Tessa, who has no idea.

Mina took them to the bus station to wait for the next coming bus. Actually, she did this because she doesn't have enough money to hail a cab for all of them.

"We're going to be there soon". Mina said before leading them to enter the bus which stopped in their presence.

The location where Mina is taking them all to isn't that far, so they arrived 15 minutes later.

"Are we finally going to meet our grandma, mommy?". Tessa questioned. She was so looking forward to this. Since her mommy (Mina) woke her up from her sweet sleep, Tessa planned to see this day through, till the end.

"Of course, darling. If my calculations are still correct, just like before, we're going to arrive there by foot in less than 5 minutes".

"That's really awesome, mommy. But I think you've forgotten something important already". Tessa reminded Mina, who was figuring out what that is.

"And that is?". Mina asked.

"You said a while ago that you were going to carry me in your arms throughout. I don't see you doing that now". Tessa was acting like a spoiled kid when she announced.

"Quit that, Tessa. You and I both know that mommy isn't a machine to carry you throughout". Tyler, who kept silent, finally spoke. He didn't like the way Tessa was behaving.

"It's alright, Tyler. It's my word to your little sister, and I shouldn't break that". Mina admitted.

"Fine. You two can do whatever you want anyways". Tyler forced his lips to speak even though he wasn't happy about the idea of Mina stressing herself out because of them.

"Don't worry, I promise to stay indoors and rest throughout tomorrow with you guys…. Does that make you feel better now?". Mina asked, but Tyler didn't reply. He only smiled, causing Mina to understand that he was happy with her decision.

Mina stretched out her arms to carry up Tessa before continuing their journey.

Just like Mina had predicted, they all arrived in less than 5 minutes by foot.

"Huh…. What's this?". Tyler thought. He was so speechless to say anything, with what his eyes are witnessing at the moment.

"Mommy, I don't mean to sound rude or something, but …. Isn't this a graveyard?". Tessa asked.

"Yeah, what are we doing in a graveyard, mommy?". Taylor also questioned.

"Shh…. Don't be too loud. Your grandma is waiting for you". Mina announced, still leading them forward until she halted at a particular grave where the picture of Kira could be clearly seen, attached to the grave stone. "This is my mommy…. Why don't you guys say hi?". Mina smiled as she said out loud. Her eyes didn't leave Kira's picture.

Mina could feel the time stop as she continued to stare, it just felt like everything happened only yesterday.

"Mommy…. I want to stand on my own". Tessa announced in a low tone.

After Mina let her down from her arms, Tessa couldn't keep her curiosities to herself, so she questioned Mina. "Mommy, why is my grandmother's picture here?. This place is for those who lost their lives…. Don't tell me….". Tessa was extremely sad for her mommy, and of course, herself.

"You're correct, my little princess. Your grandma passed away before I had you all". Mina explained. "I have to control my tears. I can't let them see me in my weak state". Mina thought to herself, as she was trying really hard to control her emotions in their presence.

"Grandma is really pretty. You really look a lot like her, mommy". Tyler complimented, with his intentions of helping Mina's mood lighten up.

"You're right, big brother. Grandma is really beautiful just like mommy". Taylor immediately said, supporting his big brother. Though Tessa remained silent. She couldn't believe that her grandma that she was finally excited to meet was long gone from this world.

"You're right, you guys. My great looks, I got everything from her. She's the sweetest thing that ever happened to me". Mina smiled as she said, as if her smiling facial expression would wash away all her sorrows.

"It's alright, mommy. You got us. We're going to make you happy forever!". Tessa's voice was really assuring. She meant what she just said.

"Hmm". Mina immediately cleaned the drop of tears that escaped her eyes. Though Tyler, Taylor and Tessa saw that. It made them actually cuddle her into a warm hug. "We love you, mommy". The three of them said almost the same time. "And mommy, don't hold back your emotions anymore. You can let it all out. Don't worry, we all understand you". Tyler assured her.

"And I really love you too, my babies". Mina finally poured out all the sad emotions that she had caged inside of her. "We…. We should stay here for a few more minutes. I have a lot of things to tell my mommy about you guys. I'm really sure that she'd want to hear it all". Mina said, making Tyler, Taylor and Tessa nod their heads in approval to her request.
