A lie will always find a way to reveal itself

Linda and Jerry fell in love with each other at first sight. That afternoon they were walking through a park. And suddenly Jerry poured his cold coffee accidentally on Linda. He was so sorry and said that he was so clumsy. But she laughed and said that it was okay, it was her who got distracted looking at him.

And soon they realized they were destined to be together. He always told her that he had never met a girl like her before. Six months later she had an engagement ring on her finger. She showed it to her friends and told them that she had said yes to him. They all were surprised and happy.

However, one week before the wedding they got some great news. Linda told Jerry that he was going to be a dad. He was so happy and already was to welcome the baby. He was from another part of the county and Linda had never seen his parents. She was supposed to meet them on her wedding day. She was tensed all night and he assured her that his parents would love her. He also told her that his mom and she were so alike and he was sure they would be friends.

At the deep of night when he was sleeping Linda was still awake. She was so excited because she didn't have a family. She had lived in the orphanage since she was only 7. She prayed so that everything would go smoothly.

But at the ceremony, when her life was about to enter a new life, she saw someone she never expected to see among the guests. She just said, "Oh God!" Jerry asked her if everything was okay. She replied yeah but met that person soon. She asked that grayed-out woman what she was doing there. She also asked her how she dared to go there that day. The woman also asked her who she thought she was talking to her like that. By that time Jerry was there and asked what was going on. She said to him, "Son, why is your bride yelling at me?"

Linda freaked out, "Son?" Then she asked Jerry if that woman was his mother. He replied in the affirmative and added that he had no idea what was going on. She got angry and told Jerry's mother that after so many years she didn't even recognize her own daughter. His mother got shocked and said, "Oh God... Linda, is it you?"

The last time Linda and her mother had seen each other was 20 years before that day. Linda was 5 when her mom abandoned her family. She cried, "Mommy, don't leave!" But her reply was she could not live like that anymore and said farewell to her family. Linda's family was living in poverty, and Linda's mom left her daughter and her husband to search for a better life. She often asked her dad if her mom would come back. And every time he replied that he didn't think so.

His wife's betrayal was too much for Linda's father's poor heart. One morning little Linda found no breakfast on the table and so went to her dad's room. She saw he was still sleeping. She said, "Dad, wake up, it's morning!" But he never woke up. After that Linda was all alone and social workers tried to contact her mother, but she didn't care. She told them that she had a new life and a new family. She didn't want her past to be a drag on her present. So, the girl ended up in an orphanage when she was 7, while her mom raised the child she had with her rich husband.

And the present day, Linda asked her mother how she could abandon her. She added that her dad had passed away because of her. She replied that she had wanted a better life and she had got it. If Linda was a little smarter, she would understand her. Jerry heard everything and said to their mom that he could not believe it. She tried to convince Jerry and said with affection if she had not done that to them, his dad and she would have never met and he would have never been born.

But Linda said to her that every night in the orphanage she had cried and waited for her to come to her senses and go for her. Their mom got angry and said that Linda had dealt with it. And she forbade her to blame all her problems on her.

That time Jerry's dad came to the place and asked his wife, "Tais, is it true? You walked out on your own daughter?" She was afraid at that time and replied that it had happened 20 years ago and she was a different person now. He told her that he had heard their conversation and it looked like she had been lying to all of them.

The wedding was called off. Linda cried so hard and Jerry tried to pacify her. But it was true that they were half-siblings. And it meant that they could not keep their baby. It was hard for them because they already had loved the baby. But because of their mother's lie, they had to terminate the pregnancy. Jerry was still all the time by her. And he cut off contact with his mother, and her husband also left her, unable to come to terms with her lie. She got angry and asked her husband if he was kidding her because he was kicking her out because of that bimbo.

However, Jerry and Linda stayed together and adopted a wonderful baby girl. They gave her the love Linda never had growing up.

A lie will always find a way to reveal itself, no matter how you try to hide it behind the pretty words.
