‘I Beg You, Look In the Drawer!’ Grandma Orders Granddaughter in Dream Years after Her Death — Story of the Day

“Never do that! Just don’t!” Christine saw her grandmother warn her in a dream. In the morning, she opened a drawer her grandmother had referred to and froze in shock.

Christine was sweeping up after her customer left. Upon finishing the day’s orders, there were threads and scraps of fabric on the floor. Fortunately, this month’s orders were plentiful, so there was no need to borrow money and struggle to pay the bills.

Having cleaned the room, Christine looked around her home. It appeared to be as new as when she moved there with her grandmother Elena. However, when the elderly lady passed away, she became lonely and restless.

She began overworking herself as a distraction from thoughts of Elena and it gradually worked. She started as a part-time lab assistant at the university then spent her weekends sewing dresses on Elena’s old sewing machine.

She was about to enter the living room after cleaning when she heard the doorbell ring. As she answered the door, she was taken aback. Luna, her mother, was standing on her doorstep. She squinted, looked into Christine’s blue eyes, then quickly averted her gaze. Christine’s entire life flashed before her.

Christine was only three years old when Luna abandoned her to Elena. The woman moved to Australia for a business opportunity and never returned. Christine used to write her letters as a child, but she never replied. In fact, she didn’t even come to attend the funeral when Elena passed away.

Christine was aware that her father, Edward, had abandoned her mother only a few months after she had announced her pregnancy. He’d stated that he was returning to his homeland to complete his higher education and that he would be back soon. However, that day never came.

After Edward left, Luna began looking for jobs to support herself and her daughter. It didn’t take long for her to find a good one because she was a Stanford graduate. However, when Christine turned three, she had to relocate to a different country.

She met a man named Charles shortly after moving there, and they married and had a son named Micheal. She used to call Christine back then, but Christine couldn’t sense anything in her mother’s voice other than relief from the world of misery; relief from raising her ex-lover’s child, and finally having the family of her dreams.
