Chapter Nineteen
"The present changes the past. Looking back you do not find what you left behind."
-Kiran Desai.
Lilie
Lucas and I first bought candles and flowers before going to Mom's grave. When I was in front of Mom's grave I sat on the grass and enjoyed the breeze of the air.
I put the flower on the side of her grave as well as the candle and lit it. I carefully wiped Mom's grave, I was still wondering because it was still fine and I knew someone was still cleaning it.
"I'm sorry Mama if I only visited you today," I began and sat down on the grass. "Something bad happened," I added and closed my eyes for a moment to reminisce that we made.
“Mom, do you know we miss you, you and Papa. Even though I contributed to him, I still miss him. Is Dad visiting you? ” I asked with tears in my eyes and stopped for a moment because I su

You may have taken the wrong step down and you might get injured if you fall.” But I just ignored his screaming because of the mixed emotions I was feeling.When I came down I saw two policemen who are looking directly at me. They both stood up and shook my hand. I felt Lucas walk over to me. We sat down and the police started explaining. Manang even put drinks and food in front of us.“I am the Inspector. Ramil. I am the one who assigned in your case, Ms. De Vega. I know it was a year ago but only now have we caught the suspect,” he began."The suspect's name is Mauricio Velasco.

I said goodbye to him."I'm sorry, Ms. De Vega. Cardo and I can no longer take you to the hospital, you just have to be careful,” he said so I saluted and went out.As I walked to the parking lot I immediately felt the heat of the sun causing my sweat to drip.

Even they do not know what to do."We will do everything we can to find Ma'am Lilie, I will leave," the policeman added and turned around.Keegan entered correctly, frowning again.

Lucas asked so Julie Ann did not answer immediately on the other line.While the two are listening to what the siblings are talking about.
