- g-

I saw you there sitting on the bench while strumming the guitar under the tree of wisteria, you really like that tree and so on i started liking it too.

I thought you're there but your silhouette slowly fades, suddenly a tear escape in my eyes.

I remember... your already gone...

"Mom... Are you crying?" my daughter ask worriedly.

"N-no its nothing, Let's go?" I utteredly said, then she nods.

We have reached the park and we walked around a little then we sit beside the tree.

"Mommy, can i ask a question?" my daughter ask.

"What is it?" I ask softly.

"Why we're always here?" she ask innocently as i look at her in the eyes.

She doesn't know that this place is memorable to me and her dad, we always me here before.

"Uhh... How should i say this... Well, this tree beside us is a wisteria tree, where me and your dad always met." I said and glance at the tree.

"We have the same name of the tree mom!" she exclaimed. Happy on what she heard.

"Facts about this tree." I said with a smile.

"Ehh... Here we go on her facts again." she said that made me chuckle a bit.

"Did you know that wisteria symbolizes long-life and immortality, it can live up to 100 years or even older. To make the long sentence short in Japanese theater it symbolized love, sensuality, support, sensitivity, bliss and tenderness."

"That's a bit loooong mom." she said.

Yeah, i named her the same with the tree funny because her dad and i planned it before he died on a car accident.

Poor kid, she didn't even met her dad before i gave birth to her.

"I have one last question mom..." she said.

"Hmmm?" I look at her brown curious eyes.

"Where's dad right now? I only see him in pictures!" she ask and said.

I smile sadly at her and replied. " You see the clouds, Wist?" as i pointed the skies, she looked at the clouds too and said yes.

"That's where dad is." I said.

"But i can't see him! Will he come back?"

"Uhmm... When you grow up sweetie, you'll know." as i wipe off my tears.
