Amad scratches his head and answers honestly, “I used to go to the hospital a lot, and I met a lot of little kids at the hospital, but when I went there, they disappeared, and only their moms and dads showed up at the hospital with little white flowers like this pinned to their chests.
I asked them where those little children had gone, and they told me that they had died and gone to heaven.”
So, every time he went to the hospital, when he saw a little white flower on the chest of a child’s mom or dad, Amad knew that he had died.
Now, the little white flower landed on Cedron’s chest.
After Amad finished explaining, he thought of someone and subconsciously looked behind Cedron, his tone had started to get anxious, “Uncle Navarro, where’s Brother Momo?”
It mustn’t be Brother Momo who’s in trouble!
Cedron pulled back, “It’s not Mordecai, it’s my other child.”
Amad breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Cedron sympathetically, “Uncle Navarro, don’t be too upset, that little child is going to heaven, he must not be ready to be your child yet, when he is ready, he will come back to you!”
The small child’s milky tone of voice didn’t really do much to comfort, but inexplicably, Cedron’s mood was soothed a few points.
He repeated Amad’s words, “He’ll come back to me?”
“Yes!” Amad nodded heavily, “Definitely, he’ll come back to you as soon as he can feel your love for him in heaven.”
With that, he took out another small cloth bag, “This is for you, if you miss that child a lot, just speak into what’s inside this, my mommy said that this is a tool that can transmit sound, and it will carry what you want to say to heaven.”
This was obviously bullshit!
Cedron had been soaking in the reassurance Amad had given him, but when he heard this, he quickly snapped back to his senses.
Couldn’t help but laugh to himself.
What the hell was he doing, did he really believe what this little girl said?
But clearly, those words were just something Amad’s mother said to make Amad happy.
He was already an adult and shouldn’t believe this.
Even the thing in his hand, Cedron had no interest in opening it.
He gave it back to Amad, “Since you . Mommy gave you something, then you should take good care of it yourself, but don’t ever lose it, okay?”
“Of course I won’t lose it, and it’s not for Uncle Navarro, I’m just lending it to you for a while, so you can return it to me when you’re in a peaceful mood.” Amad said seriously.
Seeing Cedron’s dismay, she explained, “Mommy said that this is something she used to miss, so I can’t give it to you.”
I see!
Such a small prop, not to mention tricking Amad, actually tricked Amad’s mother as well.
Instead, Cedron became a little interested in finding out what exactly was in the tachibana.
He took the cloth bag and prepared to open it.
But Amad stopped it.
“No oh Uncle Navarro, you have to open it only when you really want to say something to that child, otherwise if your heart is not sincere, this treasure will lose its effect!” Amad said anxiously.
Gee, so much trouble?
Cedron had to give up and stuffed the cloth bag into his pocket, “I know, I’ll return it to you when I’m done with it.”
“Good!” Amad nodded heavily.
Then, extended his hand towards Cedron again.
“What, is it ready for rent?” Cedron asked.
Amad shook his head and took Cedron’s hand, “I’ll share some of my joy with you so you won’t be so upset.”
