"What did you s-say?" Jason confirmed again.
Still coping with the sudden revelation, Rizi covered her face with her hands.
The pain and shock was too much to handle. "Yes. She was killed. My mother was healthy, there was no cancer. S-SHE.WAS.KILLED." She enunciated each other while clenching her jaw and balling her hands into a fist.
Jason was shocked at her words. He grew up with Rizi and Aunt Ara.
She was such a fine and caring woman. He had hard time believing all this.
He and his parents had visited her multiple times when she was sick, but she never mentioned anything nor there was any hint of any trauma or torture going on. Her weak and pale appearance gave the impression that she was sick. All these years, they were believed a false information. He never thought that truth will be so cruel.
He looked at Rizi, Zack has already hugged her and was comforting her back. Jason stood stunned at his place.
After a while, he gathered the courage, "Zi. Who?"
