At the Burial of Mrs Adams
Mrs Adams is gone to the beyond. She died after surprisingly getting better at the hospital. Well, so says the report and Media
People can be seen in the church and by people I mean, The family, the family friends, fellow actors and actresses, Principal of Royal high and few students to give their farewell to Mrs Adams and pray that her soul rests in peace.
The priest has done his sermon and prayers, it's now time to hear the family and close friends say their final farewell to their beloved Mother, wife, friend and colleague.
Mr Adams speaks first
Mr Adams : My wife, Katherine, was the best partner ever.
Always loving, caring, sweet and incredibly funny.
I will always love her, always remember her.
She's forever in my heart, I mean, how can I forget the assuring smiles, the affectionate touches, everything?
I…I (Breaks down in tears)
I.. I just
I'm sorry, I can't continue this, It just hurts so much. (Walks down the podium)
(People clap and nod in approval, some sobs can be heard among the people. Kris climbs the podium)
Kris: Mrs Adams, my mother was everything my father just said.
I never was a good son to her,
that, I won't deny, but even when I wasn't, she never reciprocated, she was always pouring her love to me.
She might not be tagged the best mother in the world, but she's my best mother.
A strong and determined woman, a person that makes sure that she does exactly what she wants to do.
Putting her past behind and living the present like the past never happened.
When I was younger, when I did stay a long time with the family, she would always say, You can't reach what's in front of you until you let go of what's behind you.
She was and is still the best.
I love you Mom, I will move forward but I don't think the memories will go away.
I am sorry but your going so soon is something I can't let go and put behind me
Rest in peace Momma.
(Goes down the podium and Ela and Ena climbs up)
Ela: (Sobs) She was fine, she was just fine.
Even the doctor said that she was fine
She promised to Ice skate with us after getting discharged. She promised!
But the cold hands of death took her away from us!
Ena: Mommy did give us a hint, she was like, be who you want to be, make sure that you are the best in it and make sure it's something you love.
Always love your sister and family,
family is forever.
I just, we just didn't know that she was leaving, that she was having hints of death taking her
Ela: I won't forgive death, I won't.
For taking my mother, our mother away from us!
I will fight and rage against death, I won't let him have his way with my family, never again!
Ena: We miss you Mom, and I hope you rest in heaven and be one of the stars of the sky, shining down on us and protecting us always
Ela: We will always love you
(They go down the Podium and the people clapped soberly, Mrs Green goes up)
Mrs Green: Her Enthusiasm, Her joy and everything. I will never forget
So happy, so beautiful, so graceful and so loving
Rest in peace, Katherine, in the Bosom of the Lord.
Tabitha: (Goes up as Mrs Green steps down)
Stop stressing yourself and being all killjoy.
Live your life to the fullest, enjoy every bit of it
Life is too short, you don't want to die regretting that you didn't make anything of it, that you didn't enjoy it.
Those were the words of Katherine, always lively and making sure that others share from it
I promise to try to enjoy life from now on, Katherine. Rest in peace
(Steps down and Mrs Adams personal assistant goes up)
P.A: Always trying out new things.
Whenever there's a challenging character for her to act, she takes it and says, you never know what you can do if you don't try. And she always did her part well especially with determination and most times she makes it all fun.
I will miss you Star, the whole set will. Your fragrance, your everything will forever be in our memory.
Live on in the spirit world and be an icon there just as you have been here.
(They went on to bury her and the priest said some prayers and they all leave to their respective homes)
At the Adam's massion
The family are back home, the cook served them dinner but nobody has the appetite to have a bite.
Ela is sleeping as she falls asleep in the car. Kris takes her to their (the twins) room upstairs with Ena behind him. Mr Adams stays back in the sitting room.
Ena: The house just won't be the same without her.
No more expecting to see her in two weeks time or something.
Kris: Yeah. (They get to the door of the room, Kris opens it and lays Ela on her bed)
Ena: Do you miss her?
Kris: (Covers Ena with a blanket) Of course I do, I miss her so much.
Ena: You know, you and mom were never close.
Maybe as she's gone, you will now live in the house with us.
Kris: (Sits with Ena on her bed) Chipmunk, my not staying in this house doesn't have anything to do with mom. I just chose not to stay.
I love mom, okay? I still do, very much.
Don't think that I never liked her, I was just going through some phase.
Ena: You secretly loved mom.
Kris: Yes, but I openly loved her and tried to show how much I love her before she left.
Ena: You knew mom was to die?
Kris: Um no, no. I just, I was scared when I saw her in the hospital, then my love for her started to show itself.
She is my everything Ena, our everything. And will always remain our everything.
Ena: (hugs him) I love you brother.
Will you now live with us?
Kris: I'm sorry chipmunk, I can't. (Ena frowns)
I will Always visit, more frequently that usual
You and Ela can also come to my Penthouse anytime you want.
Ena: Alright!
But when I grow up, I will come live with you permanently.
Kris: Sure chipmunk.
I love you
Ena: I love you too. (Yawns)
I feel sleepy.
Kris: You should take your bath first
Ena: Ela didn't bathe before sleeping!
Kris: She fell asleep on the way home. And you know, waking someone up causes headache
Ena: Goodnight. (Covers herself with a blanket)
Kris: Alright, stubborn girl. (Kisses her forehead).
Sweet dreams. (Leaves)
(Kris tries to go to his mother's room to get what she told him to but Mr Adams comes behind him)
Mr Adams: Where are you going?
Kris: I was just walking in the passage, got any problem with that?
Mr Adams: Of course not.
Are you staying here tonight or are you going back to your Penthouse?
Kris: I'm staying here for some days.
I have to keep the chipmunks company and help them get through this together
Mr Adams: Loving of you.
Tomorrow, we will talk about some things.
Kris: Okay
Mr Adams: (Goes to his room opposite Mrs Adams's room) Goodnight
Kris: You too. (Mr Adams backs his door)
(To himself) I won't get it when he's around, I don't want him to be suspicious.
(Goes to his room and locks the door)
