Chapter 14

• As I stepped off the train and onto the platform of my mother's hometown, a wave of nostalgia washed over me. It had been twelve long years since I last set foot in this place, and the memories came rushing back, tinged with both joy and sorrow.
• Since I was disowned and my family had left the home town, it was up to my grandmother to welcome me back into the fold.
• My eyes scanned the bustling station until they locked onto a familiar figure—a woman with silver-streaked hair and a gentle smile. It was my grandmother, standing there with arms outstretched, ready to embrace me. Despite the years that had passed, she appeared virtually unchanged, as if time had stood still for her. At that moment, I was overcome with a sense of comfort and belonging.
