Quickly shoves letter behind a book, sighing heavily Oh! Didn't expect you here, darling. Just... tidying up.
where were you going with that letter?
Sighs heavily I... I was just going to throw it away. It's an old letter, from... from someone I used to know. Means nothing to us now.
Avoids eye contact, fidgeting nervously It... it's just some sentimental nonsense. Nothing important. Really, it's better left forgotten.
Takes a deep breath, speaks softly Alright, fine. But promise me you won't freak out, okay? That letter... it mentioned something...
Looks around, making sure no one is listening It mentioned something about... a hidden inheritance. A legacy that our family has kept secret for years.
Eyes widen in surprise You... you do? How... how did you find out?
Stunned silence, then whispers My... my own son? But... but how? Why didn't you tell me?
because youre mom abandoned me!!
Clutches chest, tears welling up Abandoned you? No, no, my love, that's not true. Things were complicated back then. I never wanted to leave you.
what was in the letter from mommy?
<India decides to reveal the truth to Stranger>
Takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself The letter... it explained everything. It told me that... that your mother loved you so much.
she didnt even come see me!
Tears stream down her face I know it doesn't make up for everything, but please understand... she was trapped in a toxic relationship.
Grabs Stranger's hand, squeezing tightly I know it hurts, my love. I can't change the past, and I'm sorry for everything you had to go through.
