Chapter 2 - The past

Today is the 20th anniversary of her death. Me and my mom head to her grave every year. My mom loved her younger sister. She was all that my mom had left since her parent's accident. On the other hand, my dad has a big grudge against my aunt.

Before my parents were together actually, my aunt and my dad were married. I know, I know it's crazy. It's like why did you marry your wife's her younger sister when you loved her. Well that wasn't the actual story.

When my aunt and my dad married it was an arranged marriage by there parents. My grandparents wanted to make sure my aunt had someone other than my mom to be there for her. They decided to ask there closest friends if they could arrange it with their son. My aunt and my dad only met for one time before they got married. The day they got married was the day after my aunts birthday. For six months, they were married until one day my aunt cheated on my dad. The worst part was he was trying everything to make sure they would have a happy marriage. After the divorce, my aunt was left with nothing. She only had her inherent and which didn't fully belong to her. Right before the court wanted to give it entirely to her, the divorce got in the way. She then decided to guilt trip, my mom. She wanted her to take care of her, buy her things, everything she wanted she asked my mom do.

After two months, my mom went to beg my dad. She couldn't handle her little sister. She had just started college and had a part-time job, so she was juggling things.

When my mom told me, she arrived in the restaurant she was determined to find an agreement. When my dad heard what happening boy was, he in raged. He never met someone as lazy as his ex-wife a*s. After arguing with my mom, they agreed. If she would come and meet him to discuss the situation with my aunt Amaya, he would buy her a house. Quicky, my mom agreed with my dad's terms.

For five months they meet with each other, but during this time they discover that they had lots in common. Quickly they fell in love with each other causing my aunt to be enraged. She had probably felt betrayed by my mom, but she didn't understand that her sister was falling for the guy. My mom thinks that was the last straw causing my aunt to create the plan of suicide.
