After all, Augustine was getting on in years, and his health was on the decline. He hoped that each day
ahead would be comfortable and easy for Augustine.
Alfredo walked into the room and plonked himself right next to Grandpa Augustine, “Augustine!”
His conversation with his wife interrupted, Grandpa Augustine was ticked off, “Why are you here now?”
Alfredo said, 1 want to have a chat.”
Grandpa Augustine said, “Come find me tomorrow, I’m swamped at the moment.”
Alfredo looked up, a bit unnerved by the woman in the photo above, as if she had been watching him
all along. There’s something I need to come clean
about.”
Grandpa Augustine said, “Talk about it tomorrow, I’m busy right now.”
Alfredo said, “This has to do with Silvia.”
At the mention of Silvia’s name, Grandpa Augustine suddenly turned to look at Alfredo, “What’s this got
to do with her?”
Alfredo said, “Back then, I knew that our elders wanted to split you two apart, but I didn’t tell you. I
pretended to find out about it the same time you did.”
Grandpa Augustine laughed, “You thought I had no idea you knew all along?”
Alfredo asked. “Then why didn’t you blame me?”
Grandpa Augustine said, “Why would I blame you? You’ve never done anything to her or our children.
You wouldn’t hurt them. The only one who messed up was me. I knew my family was arranging a
marriage for me. They didn’t want me marrying an outsider. But I naively thought that having a child
would force them to accept Silvia and our child as members of the Duran family. It was my naivety and
arrogance that ruined them. Or more accurately, it was my weakness that hurt them. If I had been
strong enough back then, not controlled by my family, and able to decide my own life, none of this
tragedy would have happened”
Over the years, Grandpa Augustine had never blamed anyone else. He had always known the root
cause of the tragedy. And because he knew everything. his heart ached every day.
Alfredo said, “If I had told you earlier, if I had let you know the real reason why the elders called you
back to the Capital, maybe things would have turned out differently”
Grandpa Augustine said, “You were just like me then. You were weak, so you had to follow the family’s
plans. Telling me earlier, what would that have changed? We probably couldn’t have changed anything,
and you would have been cast aside by the family, too.”
Alfredo said, “Thankfully, we both ended up stronger and gained control over the family. This allowed
our youngest brother to marry the woman he loves.” Grandpa Augustine said, “We’re eight siblings,
and the first seven of us couldn’t decide our own marriages. Our marriages weren’t what we wanted
Only our youngest brother’s marriage brings some comfort.”
Alfredo asked, “Feel like a drink? How about we have a glass?”
Grandpa Augustine said, “Butler, bring a bottle of wine.”
The butler quickly brought the wine and snacks. After their glasses were filled, the butler wisely left.
Alfredo raised his glass, “Augustine, to you meeting a wonderful granddaughter, cheers!”
Grandpa Augustine asked, “You’ve noticed Nelly’s strengths too?”
Alfredo said, straightforwardly, “I had someone investigate her.”
Grandpa Augustine said, “You’ve really gone rogue. In relationships, trust is the most important thing.
By investigating Nelly, you’ve broken that trust between us.”
