Father... Marry ??!!

Father have changed, he has totally forget mother. If not, how can he made such decision ...

This morning at the dining room, me and my father are having breakfast as usual before going to school. Ah Lian had cook my favourite, chicken porridge. Actually this also the usual breakfast my mother cook for me before the incident. Just after i finished my breakfast and leaving the table, my father hold me. "Jun Hui, can you sit down first, i have something to ask you." I look at father curiously, usually we have our talk at night, but look at father serious face expression, i sat down and listen to him. " Jun Hui, did you still remember how many years been mother left us? " I shocked with his question, father seldom brought up mother after she left, something must be wrong. Without showing my surprise, i answer father " Hmm... it has been 6 years already, why father ask? "

" Jun Hui... Em... Is it better to have someone take care of you? I mean... is it nice if you can have a new mother, such as Aunt Susan? " My father ask me the question that stunned me. " What? You mean you want to marry Aunt Susan and make her my step mom ??!! " I loose control of myself and shout at father. " Yes, Jun Hui. Please calm down first... Mother has left us for 6 years already, i think we have to move on with our life and not just sank deep in sorrow for the past. Aunt Susan is a wonderful women, i am sure she will be a good mother for you, just give her sometime, is it alright? " Seems that my father had made up his mind.

" What are you talking about asking, you had made your decision already, right ?!!. You are not asking me, you are just informing me!!! " I stand up shout at father and storm the dining table with my hand. " I will never accept another women as my mother, no one can replace her, not Aunt Susan nor anyone, never!!!" I grab my bag and walk out the house screaming. " Jun Hui, Jun Hui ! ..." My father chase out from the door and call for me, but i ran as fast as i could leaving him behind.... And at that moment all the memories of mother pouring out from my memories.Although 6 years pass by, i still can fell my mother hand's hold at that moment...

My mother is a beautiful women who is very caring and love me... and my father. And i have my happy childhood under her shield of care and love. But the tragic strike us when i was 9 years old back in Taiwan. That day after my school, i went back home exited bringing together with my trophy... Best student of the year. But when i reach home, i can't find mother anywhere. I ask the home maid my mother whereabouts but no one answer me, they all look troubled. Just for a while my father came home and told me " Jun Hui, come with me. I bring you to mother. Hurry up!" My father seems in hurry and sadness can be seen in his eyes. Without hesitating i hurry follow my father.

When we reach our destination, i notice we are at the town hospital, i wonder and ask father " Pa, why we are at the hospital? Is mother sick ? " My father didn't answer, he just hold my hand and walk in a very fast pace, i just barry to pick up with him. We reach at a room and my father and i walk in the room. Inside the room i saw my grandfather, grandmother, aunts and uncles. All of them look at us upon our entrance and same as father, they look sad and some aunts are in tears. I saw mother sleep on the bed. " Mama!" I exited seeing my mother, and i quickly took out my trophy. " Mama, look, my trophy ! Best student of the year." I walk to mother and show her my trophy in excitement haven't notice what's going on. " Hmm.... Jun Hui so smart... let mama have a good look of your.... trophy... " Mother open up her eyes slowly after heard my voice and talk to me." Here it is.... mama, are you sick? Why you at the hospital?" I put the trophy at mother's hand and ask her. " Mother hold my hand and said " Jun Hui.... You keep on with your.... good work at school and....be nice... when mama is not around. ok? Listen to your papa ....and take care of papa ....for mama, ok?" I node my head and answer mother " Mama, i will be nice always, but where are you going to, why you want me to take care of papa?" "Hui... be nice, mama will not be ....around for a while, i will go to a ...very far place... Dear, where are you? " Mother call for father.

" I'm here my love..." Father come from behind me and hold his hand together with me and mother. " My love... take good care oh Hui... for me, will you?..." " Yes, sure i will my love. You will be ok for sure... Hui still need you... i also need you..." I saw father answer mother with tears in his eyes. Mother didn't answer, she smile at me and father and close her eyes, seems she is going to sleep. Machine beeping beside me stop it's beep, and i felt mothers loose her hold at my hand. I was brought out of the room and saw doctors and nurses rush into the room. The whole moment is in chaos and i sat still and nicely on the bench, keep my promise to mother, be nice....
and not knowing what's happening.

My father told me of mothers death the next day at the hospital, he said mother gone to a very far place and not coming back anymore. I still remember i cry for the 3 whole days for mother's leaving me. 2 years after mother's death we migrate to Singapore to live a new life... that's what father's think...

" Jun Hui, father outstation for 2 weeks time, i hope you can make your decision at this period of time. We will discuss again when i come back. Take care. " I saw the notes father left for me when i came back home... here he's gone again for business, it's better this way, at least we will not quarrel again for this 2 weeks... Decision is absolute.... nothing to be discuss... no one can replace mother... forever...
