“He does not exist anymore” said the Queen after all, after what had happened in this room. It was a dark night and the fog outside was like a messenger, messenger who made the long way ahead just to tell that the world will never be the same again. Queen took a glance to the roofs of the city among the messenger.
Messenger whispered, “the rain comes next and washes all the dirt my Queen, no worries!”. Queen relieved and sat back with a deep sigh putting her crowne on to the table next to her chair which is indeed way older than her and even her father, who executed his son without any mercy after his little sisters slander. “Little sister” he would call the Queen when he was 14 years old. Thinking on all these what happened in the last century, Queen sat there for a while till the messenger speaks up again and asks her to go for a sleep. Silent was the night, wet were the roads in the city and the howls were coming all the way from the mountain passing through the windows and reaching to the inner soul of the Queen. But messenger kept her distant from the howlings.
Cheering and shouting the little happy girls were celebrating the christmas near the christmas tree waiting excitedly for the presents that messenger would bring to them as their Grand Mother, the Queen, told them. It was the last day of the year just after 80 years after the execution. And Queen was happy that one more year passed after all, only some little time of her life in pain remained. When she saw these little girls at 13 years old, she thought how lucky they were and how lucky she is. They were to live a long happy life without any messenger’s whisper and she were to live only some little time before her punishment ends! She felt that the time has come. She felt lucky once more in this beautiful morning to see these lovely ones without hearing the messenger.
When the darkness took the city back after hours, she heard the messenger once more, the fog was nearly in her room, the fog was nearly in her throat and in her mind again! Then she left her soul in the room with a clock thicking on the wall at 11.59 pm.
Girls of the house knew that their Grand Mother, the Queen, would never celebrate the new year’s eve. They kept enjoying all night without knowing that she left the world together with the messenger. And left a message to all saying: “I did killed my brother with a lie, a lie that the messenger made me tell. I deserved to live with that pain for nearly a century and now my punishment ends! You my dears, live the life to the fullest without any guilt, you have a long life. I know the world may be a hell sometimes but we are here in this world to live, stay alive. Do not hurt anyone if you want a life in peace. And tell the messenger that it ought not to stay in our city anymore, try to see the mountain from your windows and see where you stand in the world and thank god you are here again, thank god you are human beings and you chose to be human beings. Every year is just a new start as every day and minute, do not forget to forgive and start all over again. Forgiveness is the key to start again. Happy new years my darlings!”
