"Don't leave me!" Marga desperately hugged his son. "Please, don't leave me." She started sobbing. Xavier gently pushed his mother and stood. He held both of her elbows.
"I won't leave you," Xavier said softly with teary eyes. "But you have to let me be with her. Let me pay for your sins."
"No! I didn't do anything. You didn't do anything!"
"You did something already!"
"Don't go to her, I begged you."
"If I did, you are going to kill yourself. Just like when dad left or is he even my father?"
Marga sighed. "I'm sorry." It's the first time that she said it.
"Forgive yourself. Then, I will forgive you." He gently pushed her and he went upstairs to drown his feelings.
