silence fell in the garden after An"s question .
"An, your mother I were friends before that horrible day of her death and that"s the only reason why I changed careers . from being a "secretary" to your "care taker" . your unending questioning makes me think that I have failed my job at bringing you up however, am not to say no to that .
that"s because I failed you 20yrs ago . when I failed to convince your uncle to send you to school and now . . . . . it"s too late .
24yrs ago,
An kaizi , An kai"s father went to middle East to look for corroborations from other distributing companies so as to increase the number of good exports brought to Roriland since it had a small industrial percentage that didn"t even reach 5% of its supplied goods .
Majorine, a 24yr old by then, worked as a secretary at Indda Distributors limited .
she was from a well known family but due to her course of existence, left a black mark on her in the eyes of those who knew the truth .
her father, was from Roriland but her mother was woman from C city . she had a mixed bloodline . she had very goods looks that no one could resist especially those with wolfly hearts when it came to women .
Zan Yan, from Roriland was no exception!!
he was already married by the time he met Majorine"s mother . he promised her marriage and with some few dotings , the woman gave in and she told him she was pregnant after one month . but the letter was unexpected!!
" I have I wife in my home country . it will be best if you don"t cause me trouble . . . . and you can as well abort that thing if you want to . it may have no place in this world . Zan Yan told the woman across him after two months of sparkling love between the two .
but the woman didn"t cry nor begge . she listened quietly at the man"s blubberings .
love is truly like chromatography test that eliminates weak elements and move with stronger ones . I have been strong all my life so, I can"t give up on what"s mine .
am keeping the baby . come look for me if you ever need it! Cathy said before leaving the café .
6yrs letter,
old Zan was very sick in Roriland . tried to tell his son to remarry since the woman he married failed to conceive . but his son refused reasoning that it would break his wife"s heart .
Good days are always numbered!!
one night, Zan Yan wet out but on his way back, he got into an accident and rashed in to the hospital .
by time old Zan arrived at the hospital, his condition was it"s peak .
your son wants to talk to you now but am afraid he won"t make so, talk to him before we proceed with our next treatment . the doctor said as he led old Zan in to the emergency room .
Father, am sorry . . . am sorry that I made my life a joke . am sorry for not being a good husband to my wife . . . . and am for not being a good father as well! . ask my wife to forgive me and please forgive me father . I was immature when I chose to betray you and my wife . . . . and worst is that innocent blood of mine that I left on streets to feed itself . am sorry for being a bad son to you . . . am sorry for being a horrible father too .
old Zan looked at his son with a ridiculed smile as he asked angrily "where did you leave it?" which Street a you talking about? .
