The second half of their story, is quite peculiar, and it is, for many reasons.
We learnt that, Rich wills (the young boy that granny oofman rescued) discreetly exited the stall keeper's house that day, and was able to find his way home.
There are no answers as to, how he got into a black hole; more importantly that type of black hole.
We don't get an answer to, who and what led him into the black hole, to the extent that he got stuck and there was nobody available to help him.
We like to assume that, his parents must have warned about black holes, and how they are not friendly to any age group or body size.
We also like to theorize his age, as at the time he got stuck to fall between age ten to fourteen.
We are not given additional information of whether or not he had friends with him before he got stuck, but the general belief is that, yes he had friends with him and they were horrid little creatures.
Our resident young boy grew and became a mayor. He was popularly known as mayor Richwills. Mayor Richwills, was a fairly looking man if the old pictures in history books was correct and he did not forget that life threatening incident or his rescuer.
There were few things, his mind could recapture about that day, and one of it was unfortunately not the image of granny oofman.
So, it took him two to three years, of serving the city and trying to locate that particular black hole. His only link to granny oofman, was the stall and its owner.
One day, he discovers it. It isn't the same, most of it has been covered with cement, bricks and metal and has been transformed into an improvised version of an incinerator. The stall is still there, but as a paint shop. The only factor that did not change was, the stall owner.
Granted, they couldn't see past the fact that, the mayor of Sepia was standing in front of their house. They were a stammering group of excited persons. Only one of the original stall owner was still alive and though he took him a long time, he vaguely recollected that he helped a shivering young boy and his supposed grandmother from a heavy rain.
The search for granny oofman became the next big thing for the mayor. And it wasn't much of a problem since the stall owner became friends with granny oofman family after the incident.
They ended up, in front of a Bank cashier's house, and asked about granny oofman, who was still very much alive, with no memory whatsoever of the mayor and his black hole incident.
It is revealed that, granny oofman did not recognize mayor Richwills till she died which was a couple of years after but Mayor Richwills paid no heed to that, afterall the walking stick was there and will forever be a mute witness.
The story of Mayor Richwills and granny oofman, as been retold a thousand times over, with some distorted version of granny oofman as a female Santa clause. But her death and their reunion are treasured memories.
There many morals to their story, countless of funny scenes, but at the end of the various version of their story;
We always remember, that there is no limit or restriction to where and who, love can be shown to.
The small group in front of the stature start to shamble, and I turn on my phone to check the time. Its over ten minutes. I hiss with a loud sound, and walk of the gazebo.
I am not new to this, but every time he does this, its always annoying. Why ask someone to wait, if you know you will be very late.
Fun facts: I am human, am flawed and i think that's ok too.
