When I was a primary school boy, my father usually drives me to school. Every
time right before I step into the school, I will start to miss home, for sure.
As usual, I will wave my hand to my father for awhile. Sometimes when I get
really homesick, I would even watch him drives away his car until it gets away
from my sight. After accepting the fact that I was abandoned by my parents and
here alone in school, then I walked to my classroom, at a very slow pace, with
tears rolling in my eyes. Sounds romantic huh? It's proven that I am a very
emotional person since I was a boy. ;)
Hope of a son
One day, if I'm not
mistaken, I was a standard four student. I forgot why I get so "emo"
that day and my dad walked into school with me. Soon, I hugged my dad and
started to cry, hoping my dad would pity me and bring me back home. I cried for
some time and others were looking at me and my dad. After some time, I stopped
crying and walked to the classroom. Then my dad crushed my hope by leaving the
school for his job. Even though it is quite funny, but frankly that's a feeling
that I could not forget, even after so many years. A sad feeling deep inside my
heart, even words cannot explain that feeling.
Hope of a father
I guess my dad felt
the same on the day he had to go to Johor for his job alone. From his eyes, I
know he really hoped that he does not have to go so far away from his family. I
wish I would not have to disappoint him, like what he did last time.
Two slightly different
stories but with a same ending. Without my father beside me, I had my worst
father's day this year. Argh, I just miss him so much now. *sigh*
