Murdered son

Granny continues

Sometimes Desmond brought women into our home and have them layed. I was never angry at that neither did I ever insulted him nor disgrace him in presence of my children or villagers. I became annoyed because he took the life of my first son .

" What! So I'm not the first son of the family. Oh my goodness... My father murdered his son? How? When? Where? Why? Tell me Granny" Her son asked curiously.

Granny clears her throat to give replies to his questions.

She continued

That blessed day,I went out to search for vacancies but I couldn't get one. My son left before me to the field with his friends. Desmond came home again as usual with a neighbor's wife . My son got back home and caught Desmond with the neighbors wife. Immediately, they jumped out of the bed and the neighbors wife ran out. Desmond pushed my son for the woman to escape. My son fell to the floor and had his head hit to the floor. He became unconscious. On swing this, Desmond called out to Elizabeth . She came over and they found out my son's hand was becoming cold. Then Elizabeth said to Desmond that my son was at the point of death. I sighted Elizabeth and Desmond talking from afar,I ran as fast as I could because I was worried that my son might have been hurt. When they sighted me, Elizabeth ran while Desmond stood still looking confused. I wondered why Elizabeth ran . I came in to drop my bag then I saw some blood flowing from the bedroom. I went there to check what it was. To my surprise,it was my son lying to the floor with blood Rushing from his head. I ran to him but I was too late. My son pointed at Desmond and was able to summarize what happened then he gave up . I wept and locked Desmond's shirt.

"You've killed him... Are you happy now? Desmond kept silent. After my son was buried, Desmond continued his miserable life. From that day, I became very careful and warned my children to be also careful.

" Look at me now,I'm leaving an unpleasant life. I tried committing suicide because I can't bear to have my children buried while I'm still alive. I had three daughter and two sons,two daughter and a son were buried in my presence. What is my offence to God? What kind of destiny was attached to me? God never made a convenant with me that I was going to the world to face tribulation, sorrow, calamity,tears....

WHAT A TERRIBLE WORLD!!

Humans would be judged according to their good or bad deeds on earth.

Granny paused for the next question.

" Granny ,what about Elizabeth? Is she still in the village? " Asked the daughter in-law.

Granny smiled with tears rolling down her cheeks.
