You know that moment in life when you lose something you never thought you would? Right at the age of 14 I was living that moment and the thing I never thought I would lose is my mother. The woman who had been there for me all my life, the person I had gone to with all my problems, the woman who was there for all the important things I had lived through so far but won't be here for the rest of my life. Today, 3 years ago, on the 9th of february is the day i lost my mother and my best friend. Today is also the day my dad is going to marry my new step-mother Park Eunbi and I don't like it one bit. Ever since my father proposed, Eunbi has been set on marrying on the day of my mothers death anniversary to so say give the day a happy meaning instead of a dull one. When my father was hesitant she immediately said she wouldn't marry him and so he agreed, and since then I have hated Eunbi for what she is doing.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"It's me, Eun." My dad replied through the door.
"Come in" My dad slowly opens the door and begins to walk into my room and from the small smile on his face i can tell he is about to tell me something i may not like. I was right.
"Eun, I know this may sound bad but Eunbi thought it would be better if you didn't come to the wedding as she said u may feel uncomfortable about it." He sheepishly tells me.
"What?" Is all I could reply with. I was stunned. The woman who decided it would be a great idea to get married on my mothers death anniversary is now telling me I can't go to my own fathers wedding?
"Sure, ill visit mum then seeing as you're too busy too." Once I said that I could see the slight wince my father gave me as he remembered the original meaning of today.
"Okay, tell your mum I said hi and give her some flowers for me."
"Yea, will do dad, have a good time at your wedding." I sharply replied. Dad gave a quick nod and began to walk out of my room. Once he was gone I got up from my bed and began to get ready to go see mum, slightly glad about the fact I would have to go to that woman's wedding. I knew the true reason she didn't want me to go was because she never liked the fact my dad had a child with another woman before her, she has always hated me and gave me snide comments when my dad wasn't around. I also know the true reason she wanted to get married today wasn't to bring a light mood for the date, it was to make people forget my mother.
As I was about to leave the house Eunbi decided she needed to say one last comment.
"Don't stay out too late. I don't want the whole town to find out my step-daughter is a slut on my wedding day." I just ignored her and continued out of the house to go get some flowers for my mother.

When my mother passed I kept her surname as a way to feel closer to her and I am glad I did as I don't want to have any relation to Eunbi even if it's just a surname.
"Hi mama, as you know dads wedding is today and Eunbi thought it would be a good idea for me not to go to the wedding, which i'm not mad at as i would much rather spend the day with you that's not what upsets me it's that dad doesn't realise her true intentions and just agrees with her just to try to keep her happy even if that means upsetting me. I hate the fact he is beginning to put her before me and just disregarding all the bad things she does. Mama, I know I should be happy that dad has found someone knew to love but I'm so against it because it hurts me. I don't want to be selfish but I just have this bad feeling about her and I don't know whether to tell someone about it or not. Anyways dad says hi and he wanted me to give these to you" i place the flowers by her grave then begin my way back home.
