Father just gave a look to the couple and made his way out of the cemetery, leaving both Alena and Jack behind. While Alena was happy that the father took an initiative to clear things out, in contrast, Jack was totally dumbfounded.

This fell on his head like a light that stuck his mind. For the very first time in his entire life, since he came back, his father has asked something from him.

Alena, who lifted her eyes to look at her dear husband who was still standing in a daze. "Jack.. your father is waiting for you outside." 

"What can he tell me? That he was in love with mom and other things... Alena, how can I believe it?  I can't." He was in turmoil. His grip on Alena's hand tightened and she knew that he was going through emotional challenges in his mind.

He never showed any emotions and love towards his father, staying aloof was in nature of both of them. This time, Father was trying to sought things out but Jack is reluctant.

'I will have to let Jack go after father. If there is a communication gap between them.. it would be much worse.' Her mind was working without her control and words rolled through her lips.

"Jack.." she kept her hand over his biceps and smiled. "Some things are meant to be done no matter what happens. You have your side of the story, or shall I say that your story is the same as what mom told you but have you heard about what dad has to say?" 

Jack looked at Alena with his narrowed eyes, "Aren't you taking my dad's side this time? Even after knowing that he cheated on my mother?" 

"I'm not taking sides, just telling the truth. You have to clear your misunderstandings no matter what happens because you never heard dad's story. Go, Jack, at least hear what he has to say to you." 

Jack opened his mouth to say something but no words came out. But Alena took the same opportunity, "Alright, do not say anything to him if you want. Just hear him out and trust me, I have that hinch that you will not regret what he will say to you." 

But in reality, Jack was all numb. His heart was very much numb from the pain he had seen in his life when his mother used to work hard for them. His eyes drifted back to his mother's tomb to see her name.

Some kind of energy was pulling towards him. Something inside his numb and aloofness was telling him to go to his father and listen to what he has to say. Moreover, Alena was saying the same thing to him.

At last, Jack understood something. "I will be waiting for you outside." Saying this, he left the cemetery and made his way out to his father who was standing near his car and some guards there to protect him.

Tugging his hand inside his pants, Jack walked near him and looked at his father with a straight face. "You can start speaking whatever  you have to say." 

Father, who was checking out the sky for so long in the wait of his son, turned around to see him. Somewhat surprised but he had no time to waste and delay.

"You were told many things which were wrong but I guess my and your mom's misunderstandings took a toll on your head as well and on our relationships as father and son. I guess it is the time for me to tell you everything.."

Meanwhile, when Jack and his father were talking with themselves, Alena stood inside the place. she sat on the ground and looked at the tomb. "Mother in law, we haven't met before. Jack only know what you have told him but here I want to tell you the real truth." 

"Father never cheated on you. It was a rumor that was spread by his father so that you could be broken and he could let his plan be executed and that was to chase you away from his household." 

Taking a deep breath, she felt that the aura around her just became colder with the passing second. On the second note, she got up from the floor and got outside of the cemetery. She knew that she had given enough time to both father and son, and it was making her curious or more or less he was worried.

What if Jack has started a fight with his father and their both ego's classes once again? She will have to handle it as well.

Walking out with her handbag on the side, her eyes landed on both the figures who were hugging each other. What surprised her, even more, was that the father was crying. His eyes held tears but she didn't walks any further.

Alena stood at a distance and noticed how they both embraced each other and automatically a smile lingered on her face. All of a sudden her heart was at ease. The worriedness was now all gone and replaced with happiness and butterflied in her stomach.

But not exactly everyone was happy. Someone came and stood beside her. While Alena was having a smile on her face, there was sourness in someone else's heart.

"You did a good work sister-in-law." Without even looking at the person she knew who it is. Father's adopted son, or basically Jack's grandfather adopted him as the grandson even when he had Jack.

"I did what I was supposed to do. But why do I feel some kind of jealousy in you? Hmm, maybe you aren't able to accept and digest the news that the real heir of the family is back now!" 

"Why will I not be happy? I'm alright until Jack doesn't keep an eye on my part and things. If you and he tried to cross your boundary, I will be much worse." 

His voice was flat and enough to send chills down her spine but she didn't flinch back. Her back was straight and then she faced him with the utmost confidence in her eyes. "Do not worry, I don't like to have someone's else things in my hand. Be rest assured."

"But let me remind you If you try to begin any fight with Jack and come in between them.." she pointed to the father and son duo, and continued, "I will literally make you beg for mercy and kick you out of the house. remember these words of your sister-in-law."
