This story is about a retired woman who lives with her son and daughter. Her husband left her when her kids were young. Her life is not easy. Each day, there is one thing or another that disrupts her peace.

Her daughter is older than her son. The daughter graduated from college and is in search of a job. Unfortunately, luck is never on her side. On the other hand, her son has yet to start college.

The woman was forced to take an early retirement as her company was not working out. The only financial aid in the family was the pension she was getting. The money was enough for the household’s needs but not for her children’s.

There was always a dispute between her children over who had taken more money from her. The son was working hard to meet his needs, but the daughter was not. The daughter did not like to work at all.

Her relationship with her daughter is closer than that with her son. There was always an argument within one or two days over anything between her and her son. Her maid used to listen to everything very closely and knew everything that went around in that house.

The son would mostly end up spending money on household things, but the daughter only spent money on herself. The mother was aware of this fact, but she still gave more money to her daughter than her son just because she was the older of the two.

The son developed a feeling of loneliness and underconfidence. He started to believe that no matter how much he worked, he could not earn enough for himself. His life started to deteriorate as a result.

Despite not doing much work, the daughter was very happy, as she had a lot of money to spend and her mother always supported her no matter what. The son started hating his sister because of this fact.

The son would argue with her once or twice in a while for the money to spend, and this resulted in their already weak relationship worsening. Her son started to maintain his distance from her and her daughter.

Some months later, her son left for college, for which he had to take a loan. The daughter went to work for a private firm, which didn’t pay her well enough. The mother was left all alone with herself and her maid.

One day, a phone call was made to the son and the daughter that stated that the police had recovered the dead body of their murdered mother from their home. This left both siblings shocked, and they returned home.

Days later, after the funeral, the post-mortem report came, which confirmed that the mother was murdered. The police took the siblings and the maid into custody. They were questioned about everything, from her pension to her relationships with everyone.

After all the sessions, the police strongly suspected the son to be the killer. But there was no evidence to find him guilty. The least suspected was the daughter, as she maintained a good relationship with her mother.

The maid was asked for more brief sessions as she was the one who visited the house more often than the son and daughter in the time of tragedy.

Even after going through all these sessions, the police found it hard to catch the killer. To solve this case, the police checked and started to analyze all three suspects individually. There was no CCTV installed in or near their house.

Starting with the maid, they found that the maid was present in other houses for household chores at the time of tragedy. The son was not attending his classes, and the daughter was on medical leave from her job. The police called the siblings for another session.

The son stated that he had bunked the classes that day. The daughter, on the other hand, said she had a stomach ache that day, so she took a medical leave. The police confirmed that the siblings did not come home that day.

The maid was now the prime suspect for the police. The police called the house owner of the house where the maid was working at the time of the murder. After going through the session, the police could not find any evidence that proved that the maid was the killer.

After so many sessions and call-ups, the police took out the call details of the siblings. There was one number that was dialed more than the other numbers in the son’s call logs. There was a similar number in the call logs for the daughter. Both numbers were different.

The police called the son first, as he was the prime suspect from the beginning. The son stated that the number was his girlfriend’s. He talked to her a lot and was hoping to marry her. The police let go of the son upon knowing this.

Just as the son was leaving, a man came to the police station to talk to the police. That man identified himself as the milkman at the neighbor’s house. The milkman told the police that when he was leaving the neighbor’s house, he saw a man with his face covered go to his mother’s house. That came from a taxi.

The police searched the area for the taxi, and they found it. The taxi driver stated that he picked up that man from the railway station. The man was not covering his face at that time. With the help of the railway station’s CCTV footage, the police were able to identify that man.

That man was identified as the boyfriend of the daughter. The daughter was summoned to the police station for a brief session right away. The daughter stated that she was struggling with money as her boyfriend was not earning well either.

The daughter accepted that she sent him to kill her mother so that she could later take the whole pension for herself and her boyfriend. She even stated that she considered never marrying him, as then she would not get the full pension for herself.

The son was shocked to learn that his sister was behind all this.

Greed can sometimes become so cruel that it makes you do things you will never recover from. Even though the daughter had a strong relationship with her mother and got more money than her brother from her mother, it was never enough for her.

This tragic story teaches us that being materialistic can never be healthy. The more money we have, the more we crave it. Never let these things control you so that you become someone you never want to be.
