I have come across a situation where I am being asked and told to "forget about it [a task]" which do not instruct by anyone that I am responsible to the task. The incident happened 3 days before the last day of my work in that company.
Person involved : my supervisor and me.
Should I do my best to finish that task in 3 days time? or should I really forget about the task?
My Concerns
The task is not instruct to me or anyone at first, if I do it, will I be a busy body?
If I don't do it, will I being point-out when they miss their "deadline" because of the task?
p/s: This is my first job, and afraid it will affects me in the future. Thanks.

I'm having real trouble understanding your question, so I'm going to speak generally.
If your boss is telling you to forget about it - forget about it. He's made the decision that this isn't a big deal, and he's accepted any consequences.
If you're working on something with a coworker who says "forget about it", keep track of the task, but let your boss know that you won't be working on it unless he decides otherwise.
In essence - whoever has primary responsibility for meeting a schedule should have some say in how work gets offboarded when an employee leaves a company. Overall, one technique I've used is that I keep a list of all the tasks I was responsible for, all the equipment I had and any particular professional connections that my boss might want to know about. As I find a place to transfer all these items, I check them off the list. I keep my boss aware of the list, giving him updated copies every few days with a final copy before departure.
