Sixty-One

On getting to the house, the reality of the absence of his wife dawned on him and he hurriedly moved to their bedroom hoping she would have found her way back home.

On opening the door, the room was still as they left it and every trace of her was evident in the room. Keith was now alone so he sat on the sofa and burst into tears. He bawled like a baby as he had never done before and wondered why he was just an unfortunate man. He had barely started to enjoy a blissful and promising life when another tragedy struck.

Keith felt a huge sense of loss and he got up as he needed to inform their parents but felt very sad for the way they would feel. Their mums had depression for years because of a tragedy and their dads too were distraught in captivity for years. Pappy Alan too had his own share of misery when he lost his wife and child and he had warned him to take care of Kelsey to which he promised him that he would guard her with his life.
