When Dana was three years old, the world around him changed forever.
One night in the fall, his mother left the house and never came back. After that, he was told that she was no longer with him.
The child was too little to completely realize how bad the loss was, but he stopped talking to anyone from that day on.
Not a word. nor with his dad, nor with his grandma, not with anyone.
The doctors gave up and remarked, “Psychological trauma…”
His dad raised him on his own, although sometimes he would leave him with his grandma.
She tried to help her grandson, but he didn’t say anything. He only hugged a teddy bear that his mother had given him on the last birthday they spent together.
Not so long ago, his father died.
This was the second blow for Dana, but he didn’t say anything and stayed close to his grandmother.
The day of the funeral was really cold. People came up to the coffin to say their goodbyes.
Danya stood close by, hugging his teddy bear to his chest.
He didn’t cry or shake, as if what was going on had nothing to do with him.
But then he looked up, turned to his grandma, and said something that shocked everyone.
The kid talked for the first time in a long time and stated it… Everyone started to look at each other when the grandmother grew pale.
– It’s him…
The folks around him stopped chatting.
– He… – the boy raised his hand and pointed at a man who was standing among the guests. – He made Mom and Dad go.
The hall was completely quiet. The grandmother’s face became white, and several others turned to look at the person Danya was accusing without meaning to.
The man stopped moving and turned pale.
Later, when the police got involved, they learned that the boy had seen this man, a distant relative, fight with his mother when he was little.
He had seen something that his mind had put away.
But when he stood next to his father’s coffin, the memory opened up like a lock.
The investigation confirmed the worst fears: the parents had been k-i-l-e-d so that the inheritance could be passed on.
Then it was the grandmother’s turn to get the land…
She hugged her grandson tightly and recognized that what he said so unexpectedly had saved her life.
