The oddities of the world part 2

A few days ago, an old man went to our house and claimed himself to be our grandfather. My younger sister Chocolate said that he was a regular at the restaurant but he only ordered drinks. Who could this man be? Why is he at our house? The answers are all here.

Okay, so he really is our grand father. It was so weird and questions entered our minds when he said that. I mean, if he existed then he would come to the funeral 8 years ago. I could've still remembered him. But he didnt. Why? well, when we got in good terms with him, I asked why and this is what he answered... "My son, Ken, was a really nice kid. He is always happy. Even though we had little problems he'd still smile as if it were nothing. He wrote letters to us when he got into High School. He went to a universal school. Since we can afford the school due to our status, we let him. There he met your mother. He became more happier. Though his grades flopped once and we were really mad at him that time. He still smiled. He never mentioned having any enemies in his letters, so I still donet know the cause of his death. He eventually graduated, waited for your mum to graduate, proposed to her and got married to her and had you guys. Then that tragedy happened." He went on and on. I was curious why he never mentioned grand ma so I asked him. I'm such a nosy kid. "we were saddened when Ai said that Ken and his wife is dead. We couldnt believe it at first since it sounds too weird for the both of them to die at the same time. But when she told us that they were murdered at your home I started believing. I got so angry that I couldnt control myself. I went and searched for the people who killed my son. I lost my one and only son. He got killed too. Any father would do anything they can for justice. But I couldnt. They were nowhere to be found. The only info I got is that they were Venusians. Not really Venusian citizen, they just lived there for the moment. It was sad and confusing all over. We couldt attend the funeral because of those reasons. My wife got really weak from sadness. Until she could hold on anymore. Everyday she was crying, weeping and asking me to return our son. It hurt me a lot that I cant do anything. Seeing her like that pains me, additional to the pain of  losing my son. Same goes for her. Everyday was gloomy. Ai went to visit us a couple of times to check on us. She kept us happy. We were happy but deep inside there still was the pain. During our old days, my wife got sick. I didnt know the cause. The doctors said it was of depression. She died that way. She was really sorry that she couldnt apologise to her grand children for neglecting you like that. So am I. We couldnt do anything back then to help you. I'm really sorry..." 

Grandpa was beginning to cry while he was telling the story. Why did I have to ask that question? I'm such a jerk. Of course we forgave him and after that we saw a smile in his face. Aunt Ai was just in time for a visit. She really proved the fact when she said "Dad is that you? long time no see. How are you?" Yeah... Chokie still couldnt forgive him. But after a few days of hanging out with him, he learnt to forgive. It was really fun being with grand pa. He really had the fatherly feeling we were all looking for all this time. Plus he's blood related too. Just a few days ago something very sad happened. It was early in the morning and everyone was already up except for him. Candy was making breakfast and asked Chocolate to call grand pa. She was just in time, grand pa was already up but was half lying down his bed. Chocolate said that Candy made breakfast for him and he said to thank Candy and everyone for their hospitality. Chocolate said that it was nothing and she would tell us. and she did when she came down. We were thinking that he might go back to his house already since there were hints on what he said. I didnt want him to leave though, he's all alone there in his house. he could just live with us. it would be fun. He was taking his time pretty much so Chokie went to him, he saw him sleeping again so he tried to wake him up. He didnt wake up and Chokie then realised that grandpa passed on :( He called us, we went up to his room and were shocked. I guess that 'Thanks' wasn't really for the breakfast. I think it was for forgiving him and grandma. It was sad losing someone again, but at least he's with Dad and Mum now. They would be happy. 

Thanks Grand pa.
