It was an important year for him as he was trying his best to get his stories published in the Chicken Soup For The Soul. A lot of writers aspired to feature their stories in the book because they knew it would be a matter of pride for them if the publishing house would consider their stories to be published in the book. And he was trying his best to get his story featured.
Right Time
There is no right time, to tell the truth, and ask questions or confess something, sometimes you should say whatever you have inside your mind without waiting for the right time. Because the time slips out of your hand just like the sand. And John was going through something similar. Though he had thought that he would ask his mother about her disappearance, it seemed like he had waited for so long and now fate had turned its face away from him.
Unexpected
It had been years since he wanted to ask about her secret disappearance but never dared to ask her about the same. He didn’t realize that if he was growing old so was his mother. And before he could confront her about her weird behavior the old lady had said goodbye to the world when she was in her early 70’s. The secret that she had shielded for several years had gone with her to the grave.
Emotions
When he went to her grave to pay homage to his mother, he was completely shattered in pieces. There were so many things he wanted to tell his mother but he was just waiting for the right time. He wanted to tell her that he believed in her and wanted to take care of her. He wanted to ensure her safety but now it was way too late. She was gone. He sat there for the whole night crying his eyes out.
Overwhelmed
John had now left all the hopes of finding out the secret because every time he used to think about the same he would often find himself crying because it would make him miss his mother. She was the one who believed in him and his ventures and encouraged him to follow his dreams. He wanted to be famous and now when he was famous, his favorite admirer was gone.
Bleak Days
He had everything at his disposal but no one to share the luxury with. He could eat whatever he wanted or visit different places but after his mother’s death, his days had become bleak and hopeless. He confined himself in his house and would rarely go out. He had stopped picking up calls and hardly replied to any emails until he received a letter that changed his life forever.
