Michael, a single father, was left with his 8-year-old daughter after his wife died in a car accident. He thought he was managing well and that his daughter was coping with her mother’s death. But one day, she approached him and said she saw her mom at school every day.
Michael mourned the loss of his wife, Simone, every day. Just a few months ago, she had died in a car accident, but her body was never found because she had fallen into a river.

This left Michael alone with his 8-year-old daughter, Hannah. Determined to stay strong for her, Michael moved to another city to escape the painful memories that filled their old town. He knew Hannah had already lost her mother; he couldn’t let her lose him, too.
Hannah slowly adapted to her new school and even seemed happy. Michael, on the other hand, had to learn to be both a father and a mother.
He taught himself how to style Hannah’s hair, woke up early every morning to make her breakfast and pack her lunch, and even learned some ballet moves to practice with her at home.

Simone had enrolled Hannah in ballet, believing she would be a great ballerina one day. Michael kept that dream alive, and it kept a part of Simone alive in her.
Today, Michael had finished work early and decided to pick up Hannah from school, a rare treat since she usually took the bus. He waited in the car outside the school, excitement bubbling inside him.
Soon, Hannah ran out of the school. Michael honked the horn to get her attention, and she waved cheerfully, sprinting toward the car. She hopped in, throwing her backpack onto the back seat.
“Hi, Dad!” Hannah said with a big smile as she got into the car.
“Hi, sweetheart. How was school today?” Michael asked, starting to drive.
“It was good. Everyone praised me for my math. All the work we did yesterday really helped,” Hannah replied proudly.

Hannah’s smile faded. “But Mom still ignores me,” she said sadly.
Michael’s heart skipped a beat. He hit the brakes harder than he meant to. “What do you mean, Hannah? Do you talk to her?” he asked, his voice full of worry.
“Yes, every day,” Hannah said. “But she pretends she doesn’t know me.”
Michael sighed and started driving again, feeling a heavy weight on his chest. “Hannah, your mom is in a better place now. It’s far away, and she can’t respond to you. But she hears everything you say and loves you very much.”

Hannah looked confused. “What do you mean? She’s not far away. She’s at school. I see her every day,” she insisted.
Michael glanced at her, puzzled. “What? I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Hannah groaned in frustration. “Dad, what’s not to understand? Mom cleans our school every morning when I get there. But when I talk to her, she says she doesn’t know me. I think she’s mad because I want to quit ballet,” she said.

“You want to quit ballet?” Michael asked, surprised.
Yes. I don’t like it anymore. Mom wanted me to do ballet, but now she doesn’t even talk to me,” Hannah said.
“Hannah, you’re not quitting ballet,” Michael said firmly.
“I will!” Hannah shot back, her voice rising.

“No!” Michael shouted louder than he intended. Hannah’s eyes widened in fear. He took a deep breath and softened his tone. “I’m sorry, but you’re not quitting ballet. We’re not discussing this.”
“But…” Hannah started to say.
Michael cut her off. “It’s not up for discussion. Now let’s go to school, and you show me your mom.”
“She’s not there now. She only comes in the mornings,” Hannah replied.
“Then tomorrow, I’ll go to school with you, and you can show me,” Michael said, determined to understand what was going on.
“Okay, you’ll see I’m telling the truth. You don’t believe me now,” Hannah said quietly.
Michael sighed, his heart aching for his daughter.
For the rest of the day, Michael couldn’t find peace. His mind kept racing with thoughts of Hannah seeing visions of Simone. He had thought Hannah was coping well with her mother’s death.
She had been calm and cheerful since their move to the new city. But now, it seemed he was wrong.
The next day, Michael took Hannah to school and went inside with her. All morning, Hannah kept repeating that she wasn’t lying and that he would soon see for himself.
“Where is she?” Michael asked as they walked through the school corridors, his eyes scanning the halls.
“I don’t know. We need to find her,” Hannah replied, looking around anxiously.

They walked further, passing classrooms and offices. Suddenly, Hannah shouted, “There! Mom!” She pointed at a cleaner standing with her back to them. Michael froze, his heart pounding.
From behind, the woman did look like Simone. Hannah ran up to her and gently tugged on her sleeve. Michael approached slowly, his mind racing.
When the woman turned around, Michael realized it wasn’t Simone. The resemblance had been uncanny from behind, but up close, it was clear she was a stranger.
“Oh, you’re not my mom,” Hannah said. She stepped back, her shoulders slumping.
“Unfortunately not, sweetie,” the woman replied kindly, giving Hannah a gentle smile.
After apologizing to the woman, Michael took Hannah’s hand and led her aside. “Hannah, this isn’t your mom. I know it’s hard to lose her, but your mom is in a better place now and is always watching over you,” he said softly.
“I know this isn’t Mom! I’m not blind,” Hannah said, her eyes filling with tears. “But she was here. I swear, I saw her.”
“Okay,” Michael sighed heavily, feeling the weight of her words.For illustration purposes only. | Source: Midjourney
“You don’t believe me!” Hannah shouted, her voice echoing in the hallway. “Mom always believed me!” She turned and ran away from Michael.“Hannah!” he called after her, but she kept running, her small figure disappearing down the hall.
Michael returned to his car, feeling a deep sense of guilt. He knew Hannah and Simone had a special bond. He realized he could never replace her mother, but he would try his best to be there for his daughter.
Michael took time off work and scheduled an appointment with a psychologist for Hannah that very day after school. He picked her up and explained, “We’re going to see a lady you can talk to about anything. She’s here to help.”
Hannah crossed her arms and frowned, still angry with Michael. “I don’t want to talk to anyone,” she muttered.
“I know you’re upset, but this might help,” Michael said gently as they drove to the psychologist’s office.
When they arrived, the psychologist greeted them warmly. “Hi, Hannah. I’m Dr. Stevens. Would you like to come with me?” she asked with a kind smile.
Hannah glanced at Michael, then reluctantly followed Dr. Stevens.
After an hour, Dr. Stevens came out to talk to Michael. She looked thoughtful and serious.
“How did it go?” Michael asked, his voice filled with concern.
Dr. Stevens smiled reassuringly. “I don’t see any signs of psychological issues. I don’t think she’s lying. Hannah genuinely believes she sees her mother at school.”

Michael frowned. “But that’s impossible. Her mother is dead.”
“I understand,” Dr. Stevens said, nodding. “But everyone grieves in their own way. Hannah might not be ready to let go of her mother. She could be seeing her in others.”
“What should I do?” Michael asked, feeling lost.
“Support her. Believe her,” Dr. Stevens advised. “She’s not lying to you. This is her reality right now.”
Michael nodded, taking a deep breath. “Okay, thank you.”
He picked up Hannah, and they headed home. On the way, he glanced at her, noticing she seemed a bit calmer, less angry. He hoped this was a step in the right direction.
The next day, Michael took Hannah to school again. As they arrived, her teacher approached his car. “I have some of Hannah’s drawings to show you,” the teacher said.
Michael got out of the car, curious. “Sure, let’s see them,” he replied, following the teacher.

The teacher handed him a stack of drawings. Michael flipped through them, astonished. “These are amazing. I didn’t know Hannah could draw like this,” he said, feeling a swell of pride.
“She has real talent,” the teacher agreed.
Michael thanked the teacher and continued to look at the drawings as he walked into the hallway. He was so absorbed that he almost didn’t notice what was in front of him.
When he looked up, his heart nearly stopped. Standing there was Simone. Michael felt like he had forgotten how to breathe; his heart raced, and he couldn’t move.

Just then, Hannah ran out of her classroom, her face lighting up when she saw the woman.
“Mom!” Hannah shouted, running towards the woman who looked exactly like her late mother. She turned to Michael with a triumphant smile. “I told you I was telling the truth.”
Michael stood frozen, his mind reeling. “Uh-huh,” he mumbled, unable to form any other words.
The teacher called Hannah back, and she reluctantly returned to her classroom. Michael, still in shock, slowly approached the woman. “Simone?” he asked, his voice shaking.
The woman looked at him, clearly confused. “Excuse me?” she said.
“Simone, is it really you?” Michael asked again, his heart pounding.
“I’m sorry, sir, but my name is Evelyn,” the woman replied firmly.

“Sorry, I didn’t hear you,” Evelyn said, still looking puzzled
How is this possible? How did you end up here?” Michael asked.
“Sir, I really don’t understand what you’re talking about. I’ve never seen you before in my life. I think you must be mistaking me for someone else. I need to get back to work,” Evelyn said, turning to leave.
“You have a tattoo on your shoulder!” Michael shouted, desperate. Evelyn stopped in her tracks, frozen. “A chrysanthemum,” he added.
Evelyn turned around slowly, her eyes wide with surprise. “How do you know that?”
“You got it when Hannah was born. Hannah Chrysanthemum, that’s the name of the flower on your shoulder. You joked that even if Hannah grew up and forgot about you, the flower would always be with you,” Michael explained.
“Listen, this is very strange, and it’s scaring me,” she said, her eyes darting around nervously.

“I also wanted to get that tattoo but was too scared. You were always braver than me,” Michael said.
“How do you know what tattoo I have? Have you been following me? First, that strange girl calls me her mother, and now you. I’m going to go crazy,” Evelyn said, her voice rising with fear.
“Please, let me explain everything. Will you have coffee with me?” Michael asked, his eyes pleading.
“I need to finish my work,” Evelyn replied, still looking wary.

“I’ll wait for you outside,” Michael said, hoping she would agree.
Michael went outside and leaned against his car, his mind racing. He couldn’t believe this was real. After some time, Simone came out of the school and hesitantly approached him.
“Ready to go?” Michael asked softly.
Simone nodded, and they got into the car, driving to the nearest café. They ordered coffee. Black. Michael smiled, remembering how Simone always hated coffee with sugar or cream.
When their order arrived, Michael took a deep breath. “I need to tell you something. We were married, and we have a daughter named Hannah.”
Simone looked confused but listened intently. “I don’t remember any of that,” she said softly. “Fishermen found me on the riverbank. They let me live with them, but I couldn’t remember anything about my life, not even my name. I chose the name Evelyn, but I don’t know why.”
Michael’s eyes softened. “We wanted to name our next daughter Evelyn,” he explained.

Simone’s eyes widened. “Really?”
Michael nodded. “Yes. Hannah and I would love for you to come home with us. You don’t have to decide now, but think about it.”Simone looked down at her coffee. “Okay, I’ll come with you. But I still don’t remember anything.”
Michael smiled gently. “That’s alright. We can figure it out together.”Simone had been living with Michael and Hannah for a week. Hannah was very happy and constantly reminded Michael that she had been right.
Simone was also trying to adjust to her new life. Although she still couldn’t remember anything from before, she was trying her best to fit in.
Michael decided they should sleep in separate rooms for now. He wanted Simone to feel comfortable and not pressured.

Today, after breakfast, Simone was finishing her coffee at the table while Michael washed the dishes. Hannah approached Simone with a serious look on her face.
“Mom, will you be mad at me if I quit ballet?” Hannah asked.
“Why would I be mad at you?” she asked, glancing at Michael, who stopped washing dishes to listen.
“You liked watching me dance. You wanted me to be a ballerina,” Hannah said quietly.
Simone smiled gently. “And what do you want to do?” she asked.
Hannah’s face lit up. “I want to draw!”
“Then you should draw,” Simone said. She turned to Michael. “Do you think we could enroll her in an art school?”
Michael smiled warmly. “Yes, definitely,” he replied.

“Yay!” Hannah shouted. She hugged Simone tightly, then ran to Michael and hugged him before dashing off to her room.
Simone watched her go, then cautiously approached Michael, holding her coffee cup. “Let me wash this,” she offered.
Michael took the cup from her hands. “It’s okay, I’ll wash it,” he said with a smile. Simone smiled back but didn’t move away. She continued to stand there, watching him.
“Is everything okay?” Michael asked, noticing her hesitation.

“Yes,” Simone said softly. “I think I remembered something.”
Michael turned to face her. “What did you remember?”
“We were standing by the sea, and a dog ran up to us. It first knocked me over and then knocked down an arch we were standing under,” Simone said.

Michael laughed. “Yes, that was our wedding. The dog was Toby, my childhood pet. He adored you and couldn’t contain his excitement. That was your favorite story from our wedding.”
Simone smiled. “I think it will still be my favorite story when I remember everything,” she said.

Michael smiled back, and Simone tentatively hugged him. Michael hugged her back, trying not to splash her with water and soap. He felt warmth and hope flood through him.
Just a few weeks ago, he couldn’t have imagined feeling this happy again. As he held her, he realized how much he had missed this closeness.

Quando visitei o túmulo do meu noivo, grávida e sozinha, encontrei um telefone estranho — apaguei depois de pegá-lo
Quando meu noivo morreu de repente, pensei que meu mundo tinha acabado. Então ouvi sua voz me chamando do além-túmulo. O que eu esperava que fosse um milagre logo se tornou um pesadelo aterrorizante, me levando a uma verdade que eu nunca imaginei.
Eu sempre sonhei em ter uma família. Crescendo em lares adotivos, eu via outras crianças sendo pegas pelos pais, de mãos dadas e rindo. Eu lia livros sobre famílias amorosas e me perguntava se elas eram reais. Havia um lugar onde as pessoas se importavam tanto umas com as outras?

Então eu conheci Robert. Ele era tudo o que eu sempre quis em uma pessoa — gentil, engraçado e amoroso. Mas mais do que isso, ele tinha uma família grande e calorosa. Desde o momento em que os conheci, eles me acolheram como se eu pertencesse. Jantares de domingo na casa dos pais dele eram algo que eu só tinha visto em filmes.
“Passe as batatas, querida”, dizia a mãe de Robert, com os olhos suaves e calorosos. Ela sorria para mim como se eu fosse sua própria filha.

O pai de Robert, um homem alto e robusto com uma risada estrondosa, piscava para mim do outro lado da mesa. “Outro pedaço de torta? Não conte para sua mãe, mas guardei um pedaço extra para você.” Ele deslizava o prato com um sorriso.
Esses momentos pareciam um sonho. Eu nunca tive isso — uma família que se importava, que ria junto, que me fazia sentir segura. E com Robert, era mais do que eu jamais ousei esperar. Ele me amava de uma forma que eu achava que só existia em contos de fadas.

Então, uma noite, enquanto estávamos sentados em um banco no parque, Robert pegou minhas mãos nas dele. Seus olhos brilhavam de excitação.
“Tenho algo para lhe perguntar”, ele disse, com a voz um pouco trêmula.
“O que foi?”, perguntei, sentindo meu coração disparar.
Ele respirou fundo e tirou uma pequena caixa de veludo azul. “Você quer se casar comigo?”
Lágrimas encheram meus olhos enquanto eu sussurrava: “Sim, sim, sim!”

Logo depois, descobri que estava grávida. Gêmeos. Ficamos emocionados. Conversamos por horas sobre nomes de bebês, sobre o tipo de pais que seríamos.
Mas então, tudo mudou.
Era uma tarde de quinta-feira quando recebi a ligação. Robert tinha sofrido um acidente. Minhas mãos tremiam enquanto eu dirigia para o hospital, rezando, implorando a quaisquer poderes existentes para deixá-lo ficar bem. Mas quando cheguei, um médico me recebeu com uma expressão sombria.

“Sinto muito”, ele disse gentilmente. “Não havia nada que pudéssemos fazer.”
Os dias que se seguiram foram um borrão. Os pais de Robert organizaram tudo tão rápido. O funeral acabou quase assim que começou. Fiquei no fundo, observando enquanto o baixavam para o chão. Nem consegui me despedir. Eu queria gritar, chorar, mas me senti paralisado, como se estivesse preso em um pesadelo do qual não conseguia acordar.

Depois do culto, encontrei a mãe de Robert no salão da igreja. Seus olhos estavam vermelhos e inchados. Ela olhou para mim com um tipo de tristeza que eu nunca tinha visto antes.
“Por que você não me deixou vê-lo?”, perguntei, minha voz tremendo. “Eu nem consegui me despedir.”
Ela suspirou, seus ombros caindo. “Ele estava… ele não estava ele mesmo. Eu não podia deixar você vê-lo daquele jeito. Teria sido muito difícil.”

Semanas se passaram, e eu me vi atraído pelo cemitério cada vez mais. Virou um ritual, minha maneira de mantê-lo por perto. Eu me sentava perto do túmulo dele e conversava com ele, contava sobre os gêmeos, sobre o quanto eu sentia falta dele.
Uma tarde, eu estava ajoelhada perto da lápide dele, sussurrando sobre os últimos chutes do bebê, quando ouvi — um leve toque. Era tão deslocado no silêncio que fez minha pele formigar.

Olhei ao redor, meu coração batendo forte. Então eu vi — um telefone, caído na grama, bem ao lado do túmulo de Robert. Minha respiração ficou presa quando o alcancei. Parecia comum, mas havia algo nele que parecia estranho, como se não devesse estar ali.
Peguei-o e meu coração quase parou quando vi o identificador de chamadas.
Dizia: “Robert”.

Olhei para ele, minhas mãos tremendo. Isso não podia ser real. Mas então ouvi sua voz.
“Ei, querida”, ele disse, como se nada tivesse acontecido.
Eu engasguei, deixando o telefone cair. Minha visão ficou turva, e então tudo ficou preto.
Quando acordei, eu estava no hospital. Minha cabeça latejava, e havia uma sensação de vazio no meu peito. Sentada ao lado da minha cama estava a mãe de Robert. Ela parecia pálida, seus olhos cheios de algo que eu não conseguia identificar.

“Você também o ouviu?” ela sussurrou, sua voz quase inaudível.
Eu congelei, confusão e medo me inundando. Isso não tinha acabado. Nem de longe.
“Você também o ouviu?”, a mãe de Robert perguntou novamente, com a voz trêmula.
Olhei para ela, meu coração disparado. Balancei a cabeça lentamente, ainda tentando entender o que tinha acontecido. Como poderia ser Robert? Eu o vi enterrado. Eu sabia que ele tinha ido embora. Mas a voz — era ele. Era tão real.

“Precisamos ir à polícia”, ela disse, sua voz firme agora. “Algo não está certo.”
Fomos na manhã seguinte. Sentada na pequena e lotada estação, eu me senti entorpecida. A mãe de Robert falou com o policial na recepção, explicando tudo — o acidente, o funeral, o telefonema. O policial ouviu, seu rosto sério. Ele não nos dispensou como eu pensei que faria.

“Senhora,” ele disse, inclinando-se para frente. “Você está me dizendo que recebeu um telefonema do seu filho falecido?”
“Sim,” ela disse, apertando sua bolsa com força. “E ela também.” Ela olhou para mim.
Eu assenti, minhas mãos tremendo no meu colo. “Era a voz dele. Eu sei que parece loucura, mas era ele.”

O policial fez uma pausa, olhando para nós pensativamente. Então ele chamou um detetive, e fomos levados para uma sala mais silenciosa. Explicamos tudo novamente. O detetive, um homem alto com olhos gentis, tomou notas detalhadas. Ele não interrompeu, apenas nos deixou conversar.
Depois de ouvir nossa história, o detetive bateu a caneta no bloco de notas. “Eu entendo que isso é difícil, mas precisamos investigar isso completamente. É possível que alguém esteja tentando manipular você, dadas as circunstâncias. Você ainda tem o telefone?”

Eu assenti, entregando-o. “Por favor, descubra quem fez isso.”
“Faremos tudo o que pudermos”, ele nos assegurou. “Mas pode levar algum tempo.”
Os dias viraram semanas. Eu me sentia como se estivesse vivendo em uma névoa. Eu não conseguia comer, não conseguia dormir. Toda vez que o telefone tocava, meu coração pulava, meio esperando que fosse Robert, meio apavorado que pudesse ser.
Uma noite, enquanto eu estava sentado na sala de estar, a mãe de Robert ligou. Sua voz estava trêmula.

“A polícia me ligou hoje. Eles encontraram algo”, ela disse.
“O quê?”, perguntei, com o coração batendo forte.
“Precisamos ir para a estação. Agora.”
Nós dirigimos em silêncio, ambos perdidos em nossos pensamentos. Na estação, o detetive nos encontrou, seu rosto sombrio.

“Conseguimos rastrear as ligações”, ele disse. “Elas estão vindo de uma casa não muito longe daqui. E pertence a alguém chamada Ursula.”
O nome me atingiu como um soco no estômago. “Ursula? Ex-namorada de Robert?”
Ele assentiu. “Estamos investigando ela há um tempo. Ela está… bem, ela não está bem. Ela ficou obcecada por Robert depois que ele terminou as coisas com ela. Acreditamos que ela esteja por trás disso.”

Eu senti como se o chão estivesse caindo abaixo de mim. “Mas como? Era a voz dele. Parecia exatamente com ele.”
O detetive suspirou. “Ela usou um software avançado de alteração de voz. Ele pode imitar a voz de alguém quase perfeitamente. Ela estava manipulando você, tentando fazer você acreditar que ele ainda estava vivo.”
Balancei a cabeça, lágrimas escorrendo pelo meu rosto. “Por quê? Por que ela faria isso?”

Ele olhou para mim com simpatia. “Ela não conseguia deixar ir. Quando ela descobriu sobre o acidente, foi como se algo tivesse estalado. Ela queria te machucar, te fazer sofrer. Nós vamos prendê-la, mas eu pensei que você deveria saber a verdade.”
Eu não conseguia respirar. A sala girava ao meu redor. Robert tinha ido embora. Ele tinha ido embora o tempo todo. Isso tudo era um jogo doentio, um truque cruel para me despedaçar. Eu desabei em uma cadeira, soluçando.

A mãe de Robert envolveu seus braços em volta de mim. “Sinto muito, querida. Sinto muito.”
No dia seguinte, a notícia de que Ursula havia sido presa foi divulgada. A polícia encontrou todas as evidências de que precisava na casa dela — gravações, software, até fotos nossas no cemitério. Ela estava nos observando, esperando o momento perfeito para atacar. O pensamento fez minha pele arrepiar.
Mas eu não estava sozinha. Eu tinha a família dele, e eu tinha nossos bebês. Eu tinha que ser forte por eles. Robert teria desejado isso.

Uma noite, sentei-me com a mãe de Robert na cozinha dela. Os gêmeos chutavam dentro de mim, lembrando-me da vida crescendo dentro de mim. Olhei para ela, vendo a mesma dor em seus olhos, mas também uma força compartilhada.
“Ainda somos uma família”, ela disse suavemente, pegando minha mão. “Robert gostaria que ficássemos juntos.”
E enquanto eu colocava minha mão na minha barriga crescente, eu sussurrei, “Nós ficaremos bem, Robert. Eu prometo. Nós ficaremos bem.”

A estrada à frente seria longa, e a dor nunca iria embora completamente. Mas eu tinha encontrado algo mais forte do que a tristeza. Eu tinha encontrado uma família que duraria, um amor que nos levaria adiante.
Pela primeira vez desde que ele morreu, senti um lampejo de esperança. E eu sabia que manteríamos sua memória viva, em cada história, cada risada, cada lágrima.
