With hope and fear in his heart, Zaide went down the stairs after he took a shower and got ready for school.
His mother was sitting on the dining table, looking out of the kitchen window, a distant look on her face. The morning tea she had made for her was untouched, cold on the table.
Zaide's heart thumped in his chest. He called, hesitantly, to get her attention. "Mom."
When Ana turned around and looked at her son, tears came freely down her face. "Why?"
Zaide was confused at her mother's question. Zara was nowhere to be seen, so he had no way of knowing if she had told their mother or not.
"What happened, mom?" He questioned, hoping it was not about him.
"What happened?" His mom spat, making him flinch. "I just saw Thomas come out of your room this morning. That's what happened. How could you, Zaide?" She was crying.
It all became an ugly mess in just a couple of seconds.
