“I got married at the age of 25, then 25 years was too late. At my mother’s insistence, it was necessary to marry me so that the neighbors would not talk about it, in short, everything happened as it happens. I was married by arrangement, I saw my future husband three times. It was a good family, rich and powerful. At first glance, everything seemed to be fine, but everyone still had one oddity, they always avoided talking about their deceased grandfather. I heard most everything, but they didn’t mention it at all, and if they did, it was in a negative way. My husband was perfect and I soon fell in love with him, and my mother-in-law and father-in-law were very warm and caring.
I got pregnant soon. I was 2 months old when I started having problems with sleep, I had constant nightmares and was afraid to sleep. My mother-in-law made me drink tranquilizers at first, it had a little effect, but then the doctor forbade us, because it would have a bad effect on the fetus. We were also in the temple, I went to confession, I shared, I talked to the priest all the time, but I had no results. I was not disturbed by nightmares every night. Then our neighbor advised us to go to the fortune teller in the neighboring village, he has saved a lot and maybe he can help you. I never believed in fortune tellers and so-called clairvoyants, but insomnia broke me so much that I agreed.
When we arrived, this woman told me that the fruit of evil lives in her stomach, before it does anything bad, go to the doctor and get rid of it. I said, “Haven’t you gone astray, what are you talking about? I wasn’t sitting, I jumped up on the chair and was about to leave when he called me, your family is suffering so much sin, that child will take revenge and kill you all, know that evil is not lost and will come back to you tenfold.” I wasn’t even funny, but my mother-in-law was sitting emaciated and tongue-tied, leaning against the wall and shaking. I grabbed her hand, she was completely frozen and petrified, let’s go, this woman is crazy, what do you believe? When we got home, he didn’t say a word, went into his room and locked himself. I was wondering what sin the fortune teller was reminding me of, and I asked my husband, what sin do you have even if such a fortune teller caught your ear, I said with a laugh, but he did not answer me.
A child was born, it was a girl. I don’t know how to say this, but the first time I saw it, I was filled with fear, and I immediately remembered the words of that fortune teller. His eyes were as black as walnut jam and sparkling. Soon these fears passed and motherly love covered everything. Great joy visited the family, and grandmother was behaving strangely, but no one paid attention to her anymore. The child was very nervous, crying all the time. I had straightened day and night. I was breastfeeding until one of the teeth broke out and blood flowed from my breast. My thoughts about the child were followed by the woman’s words, I could not forget them because I did not have a normal child, I still convinced myself that if I did not sleep during pregnancy, it affected the child.
He took a step for the first time at 9 months. He hid when someone came, he rarely laughed, he had toys on his head, but he loved one gun in particular, he always held it in his hand and kept it next to him before going to sleep. He would have been a year and 7 months old when, while in the yard, I saw with my own eyes how he wrapped both his hands around the kitten and broke his neck. When I went to sleep, I locked the doors and windows. In a few months, he took the parrot out of the cage and killed it too sadistically. When we were watching entertainment programs on TV, he didn’t even look at them, he only liked movies about murders. The pediatrician said that I have never seen such a child in my practice…
My mother-in-law left home altogether. The reason is that I have a cold and was with my sister for several months. And the words of that fortuneteller followed me all the time.
The 3-year-old stole a knife from the kitchen and cut my mutt puppy to pieces. Sitting on the balcony in a pool of blood in front of him was the puppy’s head covered in blood, its tail and ears lying next to it.
I was already afraid to touch him, and I didn’t care if he would hurt anything with that knife. I called my husband and he was taking a bath.
The next day I went to that woman. When I entered the house, his grandchildren were playing in the yard as a child should play, not as my son plays. That old woman was already bedridden, she didn’t receive anyone anymore and was quietly enjoying the visits of her family members while waiting for her death. When I entered, he told me that I knew you would come, I also know why you came and I also know that you didn’t believe me, Nanobo, but I knew you would come and I was waiting for you. He beckoned everyone to go out, he took me to the bed and said: the ancestor of your family killed two teenagers when they were hiding from their father. He was not caught and he was not punished because he worked in a high position, but he was so ruthless in his life. When he got old, no one knows why he remembered his murdered children, maybe his conscience bothered him and old age broke him, he decided to build a small church in their name and to atone for his sins, but even the blood of the builders of that church was spilled there to divide such an evil spirit. In the middle of summer, on Papanakeba afternoon, the builders could no longer continue their work and took shelter in the shade. Your son is the fruit of the sins of your husband’s grandfather, who is taking revenge on his family, the only way you can remove this curse from this family and yourself is to shed the blood of your son.
– Fear changed my love for my son, but I said I can’t kill my son, then take your son’s hand, take him to the grave of those children, cut off his right hand, with which his ancestor killed those children, and spill as many drops of blood on their grave as they were. Then there is a small church next to the cemetery, take him there and close the door. In the morning, he didn’t let her out until the rooster crowed. Don’t be fooled by maternal naivety, or you will be treated worse than that puppy and cat.
Then I ran home, took the child by the hand, put it in my husband’s car and took it to the grave. As soon as I saw the grave, I placed it in front of one of the angels and shook his hand, he didn’t even raise an eyebrow. 13 drops. Then on the second 11 and the last eleventh drop, he fainted and fell on the grave. I took him by the hand, took him to the church, gave him the spirit and closed the doors. As if everything was a dream, I’m sitting in the car and I think is it true, did I really do it? My car was near the church, I turned off my phone and waited. Soon I heard the sounds of crying and screaming, indistinct screaming and breaking. My heart couldn’t wait, but once I didn’t believe that woman, that’s why I found myself in this day and endured. I endured and fell asleep. I had the window rolled down and the morning dawn woke me up, the sky had already cleared from the east, I jumped out of the car, ran to the church doors, opened them, and what do I see, it was as if there was not a small child but an entire army destroying the place, everything was torn and broken, the curtains were torn, the icons were broken on the pillars. . The child was sitting in the corner scared and when he saw me he started to cry, not like that before, but now he was crying like a child. I took it in my hand, it was one thing to go out and destroy this church together. Straight to the ground.
I got back a child that was never mine before. His eyes weren’t black anymore, he didn’t open up, he didn’t play with a gun anymore, he giggled at entertainment programs and he was very much in love with animals. The grandmother also returned, the family also breathed a sigh of relief, the tense aura disappeared altogether. After so many years, today I am happy!
Do good! Do not harbor evil, because whether it is you or not, your children and grandchildren will be asked about it. And repent of your sins sincerely, not pretending, because no one can stand in front of the Lord’s forgiveness.
