Lost (5)
Why when someone goes, their shadow still follows as if to tell about their short memories that still remain.

I am still in his simple hut a few days later. Grandfather takes care of me and makes me feel so comfortable to him. He is a kind man. Since I am here, I cannot see his wife around but asking him about grandmother makes me feel so uncomfortable. Perhaps I still feel guilty towards her. I cannot imagine having slept with another woman.
Grandfather now prepares all things before we go. He brings a lot of food and fruits and also water. He shows all his belongings to me before sitting on a wooden chair in front of me.
"Grandmother has to meet her grandchildren. She cannot visit here every day because this situation is too dangerous for her to go."
"Uhm. I understand but how many grandchildren do you have?"
