Never in my life did I ever imagine myself being cursed let alone asking if I was cursed. “Is it true?” I asked again, my voice trembling. “Is what they said true?

I didn’t want to see the look on his face. I was too scared. I kept my eyes on my parents. My Dad looked frozen and his lips parted like he wanted to say something, but he didn’t. Instead
