Chapter 136

"That is really not nice," I said.

Yeah, it isn’t. On the day we were going to give birth, I was in a room apart from her, she said. She must have noticed I wanted to tell her something, so she gave herself a break to hear what I wanted to say.

I have something to ask. Please, can I know her name? You haven’t made mention of her name since you started, "I interrupted her.

I know I haven’t told you yet, but I will tell you when the time comes. Don’t be in a rush," she replied, and continued with what she was saying.

"We even gave birth to our set of twins almost at the same time, but she gave birth to her set of twins first before I gave birth to my own twins," she said.

"You had twins, but where are they now? Shouldn’t they be here with us, or did something wrong happen to them after they were delivered?" I asked.

I noticed her expression changed after I interrupted her. I guess something bad happened to her set of twins after they were delivered. She must have been hurt deeply since then. I had never imagined that she had gone through all this in the past. She must have been trying to make herself happy after it happened.

What about her husband? He also died back then, or he left her after his babies died, but it wouldn’t have been her fault. She also loved them with all her heart. He should have given her a second chance. That would have really been unfair if he had divorced her because of what happened.

She burst into tears all of a sudden, tears rolled down her cheeks. I couldn’t even try not to start crying because I know how she’s feeling right now. She must be very hurt deeply. I joined her in crying like a baby. Lora also joined us. We all came together and hugged her and cried together.

Even though she has hidden a lot from the both of us, we will always be grateful that she was always there for the both of us. Despite the fact that we are not even her children, she cared for us like our parents would have done. I would not mind saying she even did more than what our parents would have done, because they are no more. They all rest in peace.

I can't believe I was crying. I haven't cried in a long time, and I can't even remember the last time I did, but I see myself crying like a new born baby. I feel so emotional. I don't feel like I've ever felt like this. I thought I was always a tough guy. I shouldn't be joking right now.

I picked up the tissue paper from the bed, then shared it with Lora and Mummy so they could wipe off the tears off our faces with it. They both collected it and appreciated what I did. While we were busy wiping off the tears off our faces with the tissue, we were also consoling each other by cracking some little jokes.
