FIFTY: IT’S HARD TO FORGIVE

[SHAIRA's POINT OF VIEW]

I was busy folding dry clothes when a piece of cloth dropped on the floor. Then, I remembered the random guy who gave me the handkerchief.

I picked up the handkerchief and put it in the empty jewelry box. I can't think of a way to return the hanky. Finding the owner is like looking for a needle in the middle of a thousand people.

"Ma'am, I've prepared breakfast. Young master Tamra is looking for you," says Allysa.

Allyssa assisted me as I took small steps down the staircase. Then, we headed straight to the dining area. Silence filled the entire dining area, no arguments at all and no laughter...no more breakfast jokes.

"Dad, are you coming to the family day activity in our school?" Tamra broke the silence.

Jhotam paused for a while, "Of course, but I'm afraid your Mom might not be able to attend such an activity."
