When Dana was three years old, his world changed forever.
One autumn evening, his mother left home and never returned. Soon after, he was told she was gone for good.

The boy was too young to grasp the weight of the loss—but from that day on, he stopped speaking.

Not a word. Not to his grandmother. Not to his father. Not to anyone.

Doctors could only shrug. “Psychological trauma…” they said.

His father raised him alone, sometimes leaving him in his grandmother’s care. She tried to surround him with love, but Dana remained withdrawn, always clutching the teddy bear his mother had given him on the last birthday they shared together.

Recently, tragedy struck again—his father passed away.

For Dana, it was a second crushing blow. Yet he still stayed silent, always close to his grandmother.

The day of the funeral was cold and heavy. One by one, people stepped forward to the coffin, whispering their goodbyes.

Dana stood nearby, his small arms wrapped around his teddy bear. He did not cry. He did not tremble. He looked as though none of it touched him at all.

And then—suddenly—he lifted his head.
He turned to his grandmother and, for the first time in years, spoke. His voice was quiet but clear.

The grandmother turned pale as his words rang out:
– “It’s him…”

The voices in the church fell silent.

– “He…” Dana raised his hand and pointed at a man standing off to the side among the mourners. “Because of him, Mom and Dad left.”

A dead silence followed. The grandmother swayed, pale as a sheet. Several guests instinctively turned toward the man Dana was accusing.

He froze. His face drained of color.

Later, when the police became involved, the truth surfaced. Dana—though only a toddler at the time—had once witnessed this man, a distant relative, quarreling violently with his mother. His young mind had buried the memory deep… until the sight of his father’s coffin unlocked it.

The investigation revealed the terrible truth: both parents had been k-i-lled—for the sake of the inheritance.

And the next in line to receive everything… was the grandmother.

She clutched her grandson tightly, realizing it was his sudden words that had not only revealed the truth—but saved her life.
