siblings unlock a suitcase with mysterious contents inside that revealed their parents’ dark secret

A Seemingly Silly Rule

The couple’s son reminisces, “As children, we knew that there was a suitcase that we wouldn’t touch. We weren’t allowed to.” They never heard their parents talking about the suitcase. It seemed as if the suitcase does not exist. But it was there, right there waiting for someone to open it up. 

Can’t Remember

One more thing that the siblings had noticed was that the couple never recalled their past in front of them. They knew nothing about their family nor did they ever visit any relatives in their entire lifetime.

Asking Her

Years went by and Barend Boers who had grown old passed away in 1979 at the age of 61. Their son finally mustered up some courage and finally asked his mother about the suitcase.   

A Decades-Old Secret

Since his childhood, André Boers wanted to know about the content of the suitcase. Now as his father was gone he could not understand the point of keeping the suitcase as a mystery anymore. He finally went up to his mother and asked her for her permission to unlock the suitcase. 

Not This One

With time, the importance of everything wanes, even the secrets. André was sure that whatever was residing in the suitcase for decades would have lost its value with time. That is why he asked his mother about it.   

Permission Denied

However, his mother denied permission to him. Even after so many decades, the content of the suitcase had a deep impact on the old lady. Boers remember his mother saying, “No, no need, there’s no time.” It only flamed his curiosity furthermore.
