Chapter 119 - Lisa; Sooner or Later, I Will Find The Truth! (4) (1/2)

(Jane's PoV)

It was in the afternoon, when the sun had started to go West and the temperature started to cool down. I was sitting on the rooftop of my house with Lisa, enjoying the scenery and the wind with a cup of warm tea in our hands and some sweets and snacks on the side. She came to say goodbye, saying that she would go continuing her study and work tomorrow and she had no intention to come back even though this was her hometown.

As this might be our last meeting, I braved myself and asked about her father and brother; also her other family. After she told me her story, I had the urge to curse myself to ask those questions and made her sad.

Have you ever felt so sad that your tears just suddenly rolled down your cheeks but you tried to convince yourself that you're fine? That's what happened when she told me her story.

She was crying, but she said she was fine. Her tears would stop rolling down her cheeks, yet she still smiled and continued talking. She didn't sob, but sometimes she would take a deep breath and wipe her tears away.

I wouldn't say I knew the pain she was feeling because I had never been in her position. But, the frustration she felt, somehow I understood. It might be more or less the same when I heard my father was in accident. Only, I could see my father later but she couldn't see her brother and father ever again.

Maybe in afterlife, who knows?

Lisa lost her father several years ago. She said her only regret was she had not provided the best for him yet because she had just started working for several months at that time. From the way she talked about it, I noticed that she had made some efforts to help lessened her father's burden by doing the monthly shopping for daily necessities.

For Lisa, it was not enough.

So, after her father passed away, she promised to herself that she would take care of her brothers. Lisa had one older sister who was working out of the town and two younger brothers who were living with her. Her mother...

I guessed her relationship with her mother was not that good and I had no intention to ask why.

By the time she said her mother was absent during her father's funeral and mourning days, I had detected some internal conflict and I didn't wish to ask more. She said her mother returned only after her father had passed away for almost forty days.

Which was too long for me. What kind of mother would leave her children facing that kind of situation alone? Forty days meant more than a month and it was too f*cking long!

When Lisa mentioned about her mother, there was a displeasure in her eyes but her expression was still the same. I also noticed the change of emotions in the powerful beings and Sir Guntur at the mention of her mother.

They must have found that her mother was not satisfying in her role as a mother.

Lisa didn't know that. She only felt a wave of warm wind blew in her direction, but I knew for sure that it was their rage.

”Somehow, losing my father was not as painful as losing my brother.” Lisa added. Her face reddened slightly from all the tears she shed before.

If losing her father was not as painful as losing her brother, I couldn't even imagine how much tears she would produce for her brother?

Her first younger brother was not on good terms with her for years. She said that he was undoubtedly evil, naughty, and annoying which led her to stop caring for him for years. Only recently that they started to mend their broken relationship between sister and brother, especially after their father passed away.
