Zoe:
As soon as I went into my mother's room, I was shocked to see her awake.
Throughout the night, I went to her room, and each time I found her wide awake.
Honestly, it hurt me.
I really cared about my mother, and although we had made mistakes, it still hurt to see her suffering like this.
In fact, it was guilt that was killing her.
"Mom, please, just rest for a little while. You haven't slept the whole night. In two hours, Kash will wake up and our shifting will begin," I said, gently touching my mother's shoulder.
My mother had spent the entire night sitting on the chair, staring outside through the window.
The tears in her eyes had already dried.
That was when I realized she was no longer crying for herself.
She was crying for the injustice that had been done to Iris.
And maybe karma had finally hit her hard.
