Life Beyond the Doors

Chapter 25 : Grandma's secret

Marlin looked at the aunt who told her this.

No matter what;  this is shocking beyond the point . Its Grandma we are talking about ; no one else....

"I don't understand what you're trying to say , aunt."

"To be honest , you should also call me a grandma ; i am already at that age where i already have grandchildren", she gave a sad smile.

Marlin still kept silent .

"I know there are many things you want to say but hear me out first then you will get to ask questions later on..to be honest this is going to be shocking one by one ...so i hope you're mentally prepared beforehand!", she said.

"Okay"

So basically, I knew your grandma when she recently got married to my brother . As I already told you that she is not from this world, but my brother was. They instantly fell in love and got married.

"How did they meet...?"Marlin asked.

Well, the situation is  just like yours. But the opposite way your grandmother came here from her world. It was a split of a moment. But her first encounter was with my brother. Before they knew it a spark formed between them.

None of our family members know about her, and my brother kept it a secret . But gradually within the time she herself told me since we became close and I accepted her knowing where she came from . I don't care if She's not from this world or not I just wish them happiness. But happiness didn't last for them either . My brother passed away too soon.

My grandmother went into depression and I also had a child that time, so she also helped me taking care of my only child to remove her depression ; gradually my child grew up to be a fine lady too and your grandma wanted to go back to her world. Of course I agreed she should go to her family now, but the door wasn't opening at all. Me and her both were shocked . There is system if anyone passes through the door others cant enter.

"But if the person residing in the world behind the door dies then the other person can travel too after that"

But your grandmother knew that if someone else took her place, then she wouldn't be able to go back to her world, but who would come here? It was the only their only house.

"Wait, Aunty  if grandpa really passed away too soon then didn't they have had children?", Marlin was confused.

"Are you talking about madame Rosalia...?", she asked.

"Yes", Marlin asked .

Madame Rosalia is not the real Child, she was adopted and I'm regretting a lot for your grandma; keeping her adopted to because, even though annoying ; she knows shes her real mother, she's behaving so rude even still . If she knew she is not her real mother, I wonder how she would behave with her......

Marlin was too stunned to speak to hearing more and more unbelievable stories, as she wouldn't comprehend at all and it wasn't good, it was just too hard to digest all this things altogether.

Marlin was non plussed.

"So, who was the one. that came, to be the obstacle of my grandmother coming back home" ,Marlin asked.

Marlin saw that her aunt bite her lips hard. She gave the expression she didn't want to blurt it out but in the
end  She gave a sigh and said with a anxious look on her face.
