“The answer is quite simple, honey” slurs Jacob “Your grandfather and my father were once great friends but your grandfather was malicious and just before he left to Texas, he stole all my father’s money. At that time our family was not wealthy but not poor either, we had a sufficient amount of money. Though your grandfather was poor but he was sly and managed to calculate that we wouldn’t have enough money to travel to Texas to get him back and even enough money in the future to have a comfortable living.”

“And what’s the debt?” I inquire.
“The debt is that the youngest child of the Omar family by New Years Day on 1999 is killed.”
Me.
