Away From Him

It didn’t take long for Reyona and the others to realise that the kids had heard right after all.

Reyona’s mother-in-law and her granddaughter had died most bizarrely.

Even though Reyona couldn’t remember the young girl, she was still pained that a life that young was cut short by sickness.

Despite having a feeling that Ruth had a hand in her son’s deception, Reyona couldn’t help but feel grief about the death of the woman she was once close to.

Reyona’s parents were not staying in Kayooma.

They both are based far from the city with their families.

Reyona had chosen Kayooma for her business and had eventually settled down there with Thomas, so most of the time, Ruth had been the maternal figure she had had around.

They used to be so close before things cooled between them.

Now that Reyona thinks back on it, Ruth was the one who stopped their once-in-two-week get-together.
