That was the price of paying for that house.
Of paying for my nieces’ private schools.
Of paying for my mother’s surgeries when she got sick.

And yet there I was…
Standing in front of them.
As if I were nothing more than a stranger.
—I can’t help you, —my mother finally said while taking another sip of rum—.
In this house, we don’t take care of failures.
