Alena who was bet on ignoring her husband until and unless he agrees to what she is going to ask him, was shocked when his words reached her ears.

Turning around she looked at his appearance and walked closer to him. "Do you seriously mean by what you currently said? Will you go wherever I will take you?" 

"Yeah" he kissed her on her forehead and replied back, "If that makes you happy then why not? Let us go now, get ready as soon as possible." 

"But your work will be affected by it." Despite knowing that his work might get affected she was acting aloof in front of him so that she can bring home to the place. Though in her heart she held no grudge maybe one day won't matter.

"Nothing will happen. I will do work later on, and one day leave isn't going to get me in trouble." His assured words brought a smile over her face when she nodded her head and got ready in the next few minutes.

Wearing a one-piece maroon color and taking a black coat over it, she brought Jack out of their house and asked him for the keys. "I will drive this time. You can sit in the passenger seat." 

Jack was quite stunned to see his wife in such a proud manner. Usually, she lets him speak and dominates but seeing her this sudden side brought a grin over his face.

"Alright. Here, take it." He passed the keys in her hand and comfortably sat on the seat beside Alena where she held her hand on her steering wheel and hit the road in the direction that her father-in-law texted her.

"At least tell me why are we even going? Any idea?" Jack asked in the midway to which Lena replied back, "You will get to know very soon, why worry about it? Just trust me on this." 

"Trust is always there, just a kind of curiosity. I recently brought you new dresses.. shoes and other stuff for home. What new?" He was clueless about her actions but this time, Alena doesn't answer back. She made the way to the cemetery where they arrived in the next twenty minutes and after that, Jack's face was one to watch.

The moment he stepped out of the car and saw where Alena brought him, his heart sank immediately. In his wildest dream, he hasn't expected her to actually bring to a cemetery and how can he forget which day it was?

"Alena why have you brought me here?" His earlier cheerful tone was now converted into a flat one. "Jack.." she wrapped her hands on his neck and smiled. "You said that you have enough trust in me. Then let us go inside."

"I have trust in you but you are aware of the time?" Because his eyes traveled to another car that was parked. He recognized it instantly because it was no one else but his father's car.

"Dad is inside right now and I have no wish to face him, especially on this day." He honestly told her. After all, how can he forget that his mother died, all thanks to his father's cheating on his mom?

"You just have hatred in your heart but for your mother, can you remove this? Can you both please just come in front of her for once and pay her respect on this day? Have faith in me, mom will be happy as well."

He doesn't know if his mother will be happy to see him and his father together in the end, he gave in. His legs just kept moving on his own where Alena dragged him inside to see a tomb where a man in a black coat was standing.

Alena noticed how Jack, who was just now too reluctant, was now even more nervous to see the tomb. He comes here, but not on a regular basis and he had no intention to come to this in the morning or in daylight. Who will tell everyone that he has already paid his mother the respect last night?

"Let us go and do not ignite a fight," Alena whispered in his ears, and like an obedient child, he just nodded his head. Walking with slow steps, they arrived in front of the tomb and stood beside the father.

Alena, who was standing in the middle of two giant men, elbowed Jack to put the flowers that they had bought. He just followed her command without revolting and Father didn't show much of his emotions.

He was already shocked and stunned to see both of them here, and in his heart, he already passed Alena with flying colors. 'She somehow managed to bring him here they actually her works?' That was quiet whispering.

"She is a better place now." Alena said to which father also spoke, "Far better than this place where scheming people live. She hated schemes. Now, she must be in heaven, enjoying her life and keeping an eye over us."

Jack's lips are sealed because he has nothing to say on this day. He has seen his mother dying in front of him. what could be much worse than seeing her dead body covered in blood?

But if he had nothing to say today that doesn't mean that Father also doesn't have to say. He turned around, to face Alena and Jack, "It is nice since you both came here. But Jack.. I would like to talk to you about something in private.. shall we?"

Jack was totally confused. Why will his father want to talk to him about it? About Alena? "If you have something to say about Alena or about y-" 

"It's about a lot and your mother. Everything that happened and the misunderstanding. If you can spare your time to talk. I will be waiting for you outside near my car."
