Jannat wiped off her tears and said, “Please, I would like you to complete folding the rest of the stars for me. She
begged, “I’ve been asking for help but none of them could see me.” Josh was stunned; he thought that the request
would be so much harder. And it was just like this. He could not express his feelings; it was supposed to be
something small and easy to complete. But, for Jannat… “Okay, I’ll help you.” Josh asked, “What’s the second
request?”
Jannat wiped her tears and remained silent for a while. She then said, “When my parents brought me away, I saw
Miah.” She said, “Her parents were devastated; they couldn’t accept her death. They fought with the doctors in the
hospital.” She continued to say, “They even hired a practitioner, but he failed to revive Miah. And he caused great
suffering to her.” She saw Miah when she left. Miah mentioned that she did not want to die, yet it was painful for
her to stay like this. “I pulled her along, but she refused to go with me. She clung to her mother.” She shook her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthead and asked, “Can you please check if she’s alright now?” Miah did not ask for her help, but she hoped that she
was doing well. She neglected her as she was too focused on her parents; she felt sorry for her.
Lilly replied instead of Josh, “Okay, we’ll check for you. But can you let us know what’s that impressive item on
you?” Josh hurriedly said, “Yes! What’s that? It burned my talisman!” A spirit shouldn’t be able to do this! Jannat was
confused, and she muttered, “Huh? What do I have with me?” Lilly and Josh looked at her hands; she was grabbing
onto something. She showed them and asked, “Are you guys referring to this? I folded this star!” It dropped in the
car when she was on the way to the hospital, so she went to look for it. Lilly and Josh were stunned. So, she isn’t
clear about it either.
She worriedly said, “Josh, can you get the glass bottle for me? I know where it is.” She was hiding it from her
mother, so she hid it in the corner of the hospital. She was worried that the cleaners would throw it away after she
died. She had been worried about it going missing ever since she was dead. Josh asked, “Alright, let’s go. Where is
it?” She pointed at the entrance of the mortuary and said, “Over there, behind that door!” Outside of that door,
there was another door at the end of the hallway; it was the safety exit. And it looked spooky with the green neon
label…
Josh gulped and asked, “Why did you hide it there?” He could imagine that in the middle of the night, there was a
pale girl sitting at the entrance of the mortuary, folding stars by herself. She answered, “Because there’s barely
anyone here!” She did not know where to go; every other place in the hospital would be sanitized by the cleaner on
a daily basis. She would lose her glass bottle if she placed it elsewhere. She had spent so much time looking for this
place, and, of course, she did not know this was actually the mortuary. Usually, the doors to it were locked. So she
was folding her paper stars outside of it.
Blake said, “I’ll get it!” Lilly instantly said, “Daddy, it’s okay; I’ll do it!” She easily opened the door. Blake thought, Is
she getting better than me? There was a cold wind gushing in the moment the door was opened. Josh suddenly got
scared; he shivered as he stepped out of the door. There was a stair outside, and it led both ways. It was extremely
quiet and empty there, but he somehow felt like countless eyes were staring at him. It felt strange and scary. Jannat
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhappily said, “It’s here, Josh; please get it for me!”
Josh glanced over and saw several racks and posters at the corner, and the posters were mentioning cancer
treatment… These should be the materials for a talk. There was a soft plush behind them, and Josh felt even more
stimulated looking at it. He picked up the soft plush and found the glass bottle in it. The glass bottle was around the
size of a mineral bottle, and there were dried flowers in it. And it actually looked pretty nice; there were some
folded stars among the dried flower petals.
Jannat sighed. “I picked the peach flower during spring time, and I picked the orchid planted by the doctor.” The
orchid was beautiful, and it would turn dry after blossoming. When it dropped, it became a dried flower. She loved
to pick it because people would barely notice it, and she was sure that her mother would like the faint purple
flowers. She continued to say, “I got the rose from the people visiting their family in the hospital.” And she said, “I
picked the osmanthus during the summer time…” It was sad that she could never pick the flowers in autumn and
winter. She wanted to gather the flowers of all four seasons so that her mother could have them.
She hoped these flowers could be with her mother throughout all seasons.
