“Mora, stop” an old tired woman called out to her, she paused briefly, and turned towards the old lady, who was revealing her frustration. It was valentine's night, pretty lights, and melodious songs could be seen and heard in lover's park. The woman sat in a chair beside a flower, in the corners of the garden, lovers are lurking in the dark, having a romantic time. Mora returned and met the woman who has settled on a chair, she looked tired and worn out from the continuous walking. “Mother, you don't have to accompany me, you can go home, I need to make more money so that I can release my first album,” “Look over there, there are many people there I will perform for and get paid, and I also have to buy your medicine” she reasoned with the old woman. the old woman nodded “alright, alright, you can go, but please stay, safe, I will return home right away” Mora beamed and helped the woman up from the chair she sat in. Mora turned around carrying her guitar, on her way, she met Phi

One of them carrying Mora stood, while the other went and knocked on the door, an aged woman opened the door slightly and peered from inside. “Hey, who are you looking for?” she asked. Mama Sarah was popular among the peasants “Mama Sarah, is me, Peter, a good Samaritan gave Mora to us, we brought her home” he responded. The old woman's eyes widened, she flung the door open, and saw her daughter hanging on someone's shoulder “please, bring her in, quickly, is she alright?” she asked.

“I will do that right away, sir, I am yet to contact a member of the deceased family, I will let you know if I did” she responded. The morgue attendant nodded, and watched her leave, he shook his head in pity. “Poor lady” Coming out of the morgue, she flagged a taxi that she entered, and the driver drove to the address she offered. Her phone started ringing, she stared at the screen. “Mama, are you home?” she asked. A voice came from the phone's speaker, “of course, I am home, where are you, Mora? I have searched for you in the entire area, but you are not there!” Mora exhaled, she pondered on telling her where she is “Mama, I went to the hospital, I will be back soon” she promised. The Old woman ended the call, Mora dropped her off at a police station, paid the driver and entered the station. She filed a case, and two officers went with her to investigate the crime scene, and also visit the morgue. At the Agora's family mansion, Madam Vanessa came out of her luxurious car.

Mama Sarah had no choice but to drag her tired body along “Alright, alright, let me get my purse, so, I can go with you” she said before leaving with the boy.Mora hesitated before she finally went after her mother, after some minutes of deliberation within herself, arriving at the crime scene, the forensic team have already gone in.Mayor Lycan stood with the police commissioner, while the peasants in their numbers stood in a corner, a little boy tugged on Mora's gown, she looked down and saw her student.“Gabriel, what are you doing here, all by yourself?” she asked, looking around for the child's parents, the little kid took a deep breath before speaking “Mistress, I came on my own, I admire Mayor Lycan so much, I heard he scored the highest in the national exam, and he also performed beautifully as a mayor, I want to be like him when I grow up” he vowed with determination.Mora raised her head and looked at the man the kid was babbling about, a vague image flashed in her mind, mak

The security man lowered his head, and coward before Mayor Lycan “higher up” he voiced out with clattering teeth.Mayor Lycan turned to his secretary, “you know what to do”“Yes, Mayor Lycan” he responded immediately, Mayor Lycan ushered the women in and instructed his entourage to entertain them with bottles of water and snacks.He came back to address the women, Mama Sarah stood on her feet “Mayor Lycan, after what happened yesterday, soldiers have been tormenting our settlements, we are peaceful peasants, and there is no need for them at all”She said loud and clear, Mayor Lycan was stunned, he was surprised to hear this from them, he forced a smile on his face “you don't have to worry about that, I will make sure they are redeployed back to the barracks” he promised.Mama Sarah and the other women were happy, they left the district council afterwards in a truck of a man, who supplies the factories with raw materials.Secretary Hào met with Mayor Lycan when the women left “Mayor, I
