Chapter 540

Since she refused to budge, there was another way to solve this and all the blame would be taken away from me. Since he would be placed under the spotlight soon, what is wrong with putting him in there earlier,

" I apologize. I wanted to be here a lot earlier but I was delayed because of an unfortunate events. It is so heartbreaking Mama" with that I turned on the waterworks,

I added Mama at the end to make her know that I had accepted her fully even with all her flaws and it does not help that I want to butter her up a little too. Her curiosity got the best of her and she kept looking at me inquisitively, when I turned towards the elder, he kept running his hand over his neck in a I would kill you motion, if I was to disclose it this way. I was already dead either way, so I had to chose the lesser and less dangerous way to die.

" Speak now and stop delaying. What happened?" She was already glancing around as if the event would pop up right before her eyes,

When the elders saw her eyes darting around, they decided to hide theirselves further away but it does not matter where they hide, as I would make sure to reveal it all, this was just like a little payback for the way he treated me earlier,

" The elder.. he.. he.." I was acting as if I was overwhelmed with emotions and it was hindering me to speak,

It was obvious that she was buying this little show that I was putting on for her. She was worried but was obviously waiting for me to say what what I wanted, so she would know the action to take,

" What happens to the elder?. What happened to him?" With the way her hands stretched out before she retracted it, I am sure she wanted to shake the answer out of me but she was restraining herself,

" He lost his son" I finally admitted backing it up with a loud wail, at first she was confused as she stared at me, as if she was unable to comprehend what I had just told her,

" Lost his son?. When and how did this happen?"

" I do not know", I cried out,

She just patted my shoulder, trying to console me whilst running the scenario and possibilities through her head,

" Where is the elder now?" She asked me

This was the moment I had been waiting for all these while, my time to shine. After a while of hiccups, I pointed out the direction that they were hiding, I even let it slip by mistake that he threatened to kill me if I reveal what happened to her and that he was also hiding from her,

I mean it was just a slip of the tongue, everyone makes mistakes right?. I could only smile smugly as I watched her march down to where they were hiding
