Chapter 48

• “Welcome, mom.” I greeted her as I stepped out and her gaze met mine as there was silence in the living room. I couldn’t tell if it was tears but it seems that was what I saw in her eyes as they locked in mine.
• She couldn’t say anything, she didn’t move close to me, she didn’t say a word and knew she was not going to say something else I broke the silence again and that was what I did.
• I stepped close to her and she still held my gaze. “Mom, I can’t hate you,” I told her and I watched her swallow hard like she was suppressing her tears. “I don’t want to hate you mom, I don’t want to have hate in my heart any longer.”
