My Father
A week after that she flew to Singapore. She vividly remembered one night, while she is watching tv with her best friend, she suddely saw his father face before her.. as if he is really there, she can see his smiling, he look younger and happier, then suddenly she told her best friend, she does not feel good I think something happen to her dad, and she feels a chill suddenly wrapped around my body. That was the day he fall off his bed, and the last ilness that caught him.
Then two months passed, she remembered it vividly, she has changed to her Pjs and sit in her sitting room watching Atonement, the only movie that she could only finish almost a week thereafter, cause as she watch the tragedy in the movie happening to ruin the life of two people, her phone rang it was her sister telling her that her father is suddenly in coma at home, that they are calling ambulance. She hang up the phone and loss all the strenght she posses, and look blankly at the tv, she sit like that for about ten minutes, then something struct her heart, she knew that her father’s gone forever, leaving her behind. She started to cry as the tears fall of her eyes she heard the phone rang, it was her sister in law telling her things she already know. After that everything is so blurred, she remembered to take off the sheets over her father silent face and she started to cry again, and later in the morning, she wash the face of her father for the last time before he buried next to her mother. She remembered looking at his father face, as death swallow him, his face is different, he is not the same anymore cause what was left was only an empty sheel..an empty body....after looking at his face, she no longer cry cause she knew he has gone somewhere else, and the last thing he would want her was to cry over his lifeless body.
