The Long Ago Tale (3)

"Until the day that person return to take back what is rightfully theirs. Broken promises will turn into curses. Waiting for the one who casts it to bring life to them or stop them."  

The woman inhaled sharply, hugging her child tighter. She nodded her head knowing who the elderly grandma was talking about. Tears dropped down on her baby's wrap. Her lips trembled as she hesitantly asked, "W-when will that person return, and how would I know?"

"There is no telling… It's up to their fate and for the gods to decide. When the time comes, you may or may not be there for it. That person will come back to be your downfall or perhaps show your family mercy." 

"Is there a way for me to be there? I-I… want to apologize and make things right thing time." The woman sobbed, touching her baby's face as if trying to find a resemblance of that person in her baby.
