Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

“How?” Frankie asked, intrigued.
Galilea explained, “It’s quite simple. Just talk to your great-grandmother and ask her to plead with Sabrina. If Sabrina forgives
your father, he won’t go to jail.”
Frankie fell into a moment of contemplative silence before responding with confusion, “But... But my mom won’t Let me tell my
great-grandmother.”
“That’s because your mother wants to divorce your father and doesn’t want him to be released,” Galilea revealed.
“Your dad has always been good to you. Do you really want him to spend his life behind bars or worse?”
Frankie furrowed his brow. The decision weighed heavily on his young mind.
He didn’t want his parents to divorce, nor did he want his father to remain imprisoned or face an even harsher fate.
“Your father didn’t cheat on your mom, but your mom didn’t know it,”
Galilea reassured him.

“Once he’s out and can explain, your parents won’t have to divorce.”
Frankie’s eyes brightened.
“Really?”
The prospect of preventing his father from going to jail and averting a divorce between his parents seemed almost too good to be
true.
“Absolutely,” Galilea confirmed with a reassuring smile.
“But for now, don’t let your mother know your plans. She won’t believe that your father hasn’t been unfaithful, and she’ll try to
stop you from telling your great-grandmother the truth.”
Frankie remained puzzled, caught between loyalty to his parents and a desire to help his father.

Frankie grasped one key aspect. He couldn’t divulge any of this to his mother.
“You’ve got to save your father,” Galilea encouraged him.
“You’re a strong young man. I believe in you.”
As Lena returned with the cake, she found Frankie lost in contemplation while seated in the rocking car.
After some deliberation, Frankie looked up and said, “Mom, I really miss my great-grandmother. Can we go visit her?”
Gazing at her sweet son, Lena nodded and replied, “Of course, sweetheart.”
Frankie promptly hopped out of the rocking car and offered, “Mom, let me take the cake for you.”
“Thank you, my love,” Lena replied, touched by her son’s gesture.
