Chapter 26: For your eyes only!

The following morning, Serpens made his way to grandmother Suki's old house. It's been over three years since he visited the place, since the death and burial of grandmother Suki.

The house was an old house, a quaint weathered cottage in the outskirts of the city. Drawing closer to the house, he couldn't help but feel nostalgic.

The house with its peeling paint, was still there, the way it had always been. Grandmother Suki's graden had grown so tall, really overgrown standing as a silent guardian of countless memories.

A particular event from his part came fresh in his memory as he laid sight of the once beautiful garden which now looked like it never existed as the beautiful garden it used to be.

He was at that time, a young boy, just ten years old sitting on a weathered wooden porch looking at grandmother Suki. The sun was setting, casting a golden hue over the sprawling garden. Grandma Suki, with her tender smile, was tending to her garden, her hands skillfully pruning the plants.
