The Horror....(2)


"Mom, I lost some money." Daughter to mother.
"Again, did you misplace the money, how much did you lose"
"I lost RM10.0. It was in the money box when I did my accounts last week. But last night, I am short of RM10.0"
"Check you skirts and pockets, look again."
"OK"
"Could it be that you paid for some books at school or something that you might have forgotten ?"
"Ur... I check again" Daughter went upstairs.

"Mummy, I lost RM2.0 too last week." Son told mother.

The mother had been receiving the same complaints for sometime now. The eldest daughter had mentioned money lost plus her other belongings. The complains seemed to be more frequent since secondary school. The mother used to think that it was childish carelessness, after all children do unintentionally lose things. She used to think the eldest was being absent minded,but lately her son began to report lost money too.

When the children were in school, the mother sat quietly and began to reminisce. She recalled all the findings in the stepdaughter's bag . Could her suspicion be right? The mother tried to fight the horrible thought. The mother's mind began to race, sourcing for clues she might have carelessly overlooked through the years.....
