“So, Granny, did you oppose their relationship back then?” Agnes asked.
“Of course, who wants to hand their daughter over to a thug? Sure, he treated your mom well, but with
guys like him, you never know what they’re capable of. None of his friends were any good either, I was
worried he’d be a bad influence on your mom. I opposed it, but it didn’t make a difference”
“Did Mom really like him?”
Her Granny’s eyes filled with a hint of helplessness. “Initially, I believed your mom was simply thankful
to him. He was always there for her, picking her up from school no matter the weather I never imagined
a girl as good as your mom would fall for someone of his type. Yet when I insisted she end things with
him, she went without food for three days. That’s when it hit me she truly cared for him, despite his
rough edges”
From an outsider’s perspective, Agnes felt moved hearing this
She could understand her mother’s feelings
Even though Michael was an uneducated thug, he was her mother’s hero.
“Later on, your mom went to the big city for university and Michael followed her. He promised me he’d
find a decent job and turn his life around. He said he’d come ask for her hand in marriage once he
made something of himself. I accepted him then, because I knew he genuinely cared for your mom. As
long as he was around, I wouldn’t worry about your mom being bullied in the city”
As she said this, Agnes’ Granny seemed to remember something, her voice turning somber
“What happened then? Why didn’t Mom end up with him and chose Dad instead?”
Tm not entirely sure about the events in the city. What I do know is that your mom returned home one
day and secluded herself in her room for an entire week. She neither ate nor drank, just sat in isolation.
Michael arrived and spent an entire day and night kneeling outside her door, waiting. When she finally
emerged, they had a lengthy conversation in the yard. It culminated with your mom ending their
relationship. Michael was left standing there, visibly distraught and in tears. It pained me to witness his
heartbreak, I tried asking your mom about the circumstances, but she remained tight-lipped. Soon after,
Michael departed, and I never saw him again. Rumor has it he ran into legal troubles and ended up
incarcerated. Surprisingly, within three months, your mom married your dad.”
Agnes’ Granny’s voice was full of regret as she continued, “Actually, I grew quite fond of that thug
Compared to your dad, Michael did things for your mom that your dad could never match. But I heard
later that Michael betrayed your mom, got involved with a girl from a wealthy family, and your mom was
hurt. Your mom had a rough life, being abandoned by one man was hard enough, and then even your
dad treated her like that. It’s no wonder…”
Agnes Granny couldn’t finish her sentence.
Although it happened many years ago, her daughter’s death still weighed heavily on her heart.
But she couldn’t reveal all this to Agnes.
Agnes was filled with anguish.
What Granny wanted to say was, it’s no wonder her mother, in her utter disappointment, chose to end
her own life
Granny didn’t know the whole truth behind the incident.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore, Agnes, let’s eat. Your mom’s been gone for so many years,
discussing these things won’t change anything. As long as you and Jared are happy, that’s all that
matters. It would let your mom rest peacefully in heaven.”
Agnes felt heavy hearted
If it was really because of Alyssa’s trap that led her mother to end her life, Agnes didn’t know how to
deal with it.
Could she continue with Jared?
