Everyone looked towards the entrance and Mason set his eyes on Jackson, followed by his wife, Maya.
"Sorry to come in uninvited but we had to on this fine day." Jackson said. No one seemed to be offended by it,so he continued. "My wife would like to say something."
"You're Tessy,right?" She asked and Tessy nodded, slowly. She was trying to analyse the situation.
'Isn't she the lady at grandma's funeral?" She thought. "What do you want?"
"I... I don't know how to put it but, can you forgive me?" She asked and Tessy immediately guessed who she was. She immediately frowned.
"It's you! You're her!" She stated already getting angry. She didn't wait for a response before she continued, "What do you want? Why are you here?"
"Easy, Tessy." He tried to calm her down.
"Why is she here?" She asked Mason.
"Why are you here?" Mason asked.
"I know you won't forgive me and I won't force... "
"Why are you here?" Rain asked from the side. "No long story, ma'am. Just state your business."
"Can I see my grandchildren?" She requested and Tessy snapped at her.
"Sure you can but that's all you'll be doing." Tessy said with an annoyed tone and threw her face away.
Maya had a heavy heart. Although she had expected it, the pain was more than she had anticipated.
Mason carried the boy towards her and handed him over to her gently. As soon as she set her eyes on him, she could tell that he was Tessys'.
She glanced at the girl and smiled.
Seeing it for herself, she nodded to herself. She was indeed her daughter's daughter.
"Aren't you don't looking?" Tessy snapped. "You can leave now, can't you?'
The bitterness in Tessys' words got to Maya and she bit her lip lightly. She was feeling guilty both in and out.
If only she hadn't given her up at the beginning. Maybe things would've been different between them. Maybe they would've had a fun mother daughter relationship.
Maybe she would've loved her.
The curse was to blame.

Maya's name used to be Mara.
She was a young and beautiful lady in her early 20's who decided that she no longer wanted to be part of her family's curse but it wasn't up to her.
Her family, back to the age where cars and phones had not been invented, had been cursed due to a mistake of one of their ancestors.
On a night when the night shone beautifully, a shaman's daughter went out to pick some flowers. She needed it as part of the decorations on her wedding dress.
Her wedding was the next day and she was looking forward to it more than anything.
Gabriel, Mara's ancestor, was returning to the inn which he had booked to stay at during his stay in Korea. He stumbled on this beautiful lady on the flower field and was driven by lust.
He had his way with her and thus, ruined her life. Her wedding was cancelled as she was no longer pure. It was also later discovered that she was pregnant.
Struke with despair, she hanged herself. But before that, she cursed Gabriel's entire generation to face the exact same thing she did. She cursed all his offspring to be girls and filled with unhappiness and loneliness.
Due to this, the once wealthy Gabriel family fell to ruin as the curse took away everything from them.
Since all children were girls, the lineage reduced gradually but the curse kept spreading and no one was able to break it, till date.
Mara feared that she would suffer the same thing and decided to run away. She didn't believe that the curse could stop her if she decided not to get married, but it did.
It stopped her at a time she thought she was okay and it was a time when she thought she needed no one but herself.
