Destiny's love

Part 16

Flashback ( Ms. Yang's POV )

23 years back, In Gwangju, i was 3 years old. I live with my parents and my grandparents. We were happy family. Me and my brother were the only siblings in my family. And rest of the family members don't live with us. Actually we have a big family but our relatives don't live with us. My brother was 2 years old. Our family was rich but when the property divided my father's side his brother take their own part. My father doesn't want to be in part of this division. My father is the big brother of his family. He don't want his part but as my grandparents forced him to take his part so without a word he take his part. Then my parents, me, my brother and my grandparents started living together and rest of the relatives moved to Seoul. My father was a job person in a company where he work as a manager.
But one day, an incident change our lives. My age was that time 5. A worker of that company blamed my father that he helps and leaked the products details to the opposition party of their company that is why their company stocks goes down. And the boss of that company was very much strict. He believed in that worker and he was fired and thrown him out of the office.
That day my father's self respect was totally destroyed. He was really innocent person. But no one understood this and blamed my father. * teary eyes *
Our family suffers a lot because in my family only my father works. He was the only person who takes care of my family. We were this much suffering that we can't pay bills for house, school fees. We became very poor. One day my father decided to sell his car that he bought on his own money. And we don't have anything else to sell. So that day it was raining a lot. My grandparents said to not go but my father didn't listen them. Then he said that he already talked to the car loan owners about today that he will sell the car.
He went out on that day and that day was the worst day for our family. A truck hit my father's car and my father died in an accident. * tears rolling down from my eyes *.
A police officer called us and informed about him that he is admitted in XYZ hospital and then we immediately went to the hospital and saw that my father was in ICU. The doctor said that we don't have much time now please deposit the money so that they can do operation. That day we were in big trouble. We don't have any idea what to do. We all are crying. Then my grandfather called my relatives for help but no one helped us. All of them refused to give money. Then suddenly my mother said that she has some jewellery from her wedding. So she said that she will sell it. That time we were helpless. I was not ready to sell the jewellery because it was my mother's wedding jewellery. But we don't have anything else to sell. Then my mother said that she is going to home and she will bring the jewellery.
Then after some time she went to the house and brought the jewellery and was waiting for any bus to go to hospital. There one vehicle stopped and in that time while coming to the hospital someone robbed my mother and also not only robbed but mOlest her very badly and when she was trying to defence herself one of the guy in that group beat my mom with a glass bottle in her head and she fainted there and throw her at the side of the road. Those guys were drunk. And here we are waiting that when will she come. But then someone brings her body to the hospital. We were looking that what happened but then doctor said the nurse to immediately take her to the O.T.
Me and my brother was sitting in the chair. Watching all this. Then one doctor saw my mother and run to us and said that is she your daughter-in-law. Then my grandparents went and saw her. They were totally broke down and was crying harder that what happened to her. How then the doctor said i think she is mOlested and also she got severe injury in her head. Then me and my brother was watching them and asked them what happened why you both are crying. They didn't said us. Then i asked who is she. They just changed the topic and told us to sit. But while taking her to O.T in stretcher one of her hand came down and i saw that it's my mom. I ran to her and started crying that what happened to her. And my grandparents hold me and trying to make me quiet but i was crying harder.
And like this time gone the doctor came and said that sorry but we couldn't make it. Your son is no more.
After hearing this my grandmother faint down and i and my brother and my grandfather hold her and make her to sit it the chair. Here the other doctor was trying to save her life. After the operation stops doctors came outside and said that she has only few minutes left. She wants to meet you all. Please you can go and meet her.
Then when we heard this it feels like everything is stopped. The time stopped and not moving.
We 4 went inside and saw that my father was laying on the bed. She speaks first to my grandparents that- " eomma appa I'm really sorry. I couldn't save his life. I tried my best but at the end i lost." * teary eyes *
After seeing her like this my grandparents crying more harder and saying that- " plzz don't say like this. We already lost our son but now we don't want to lost our daughter. Plzz be strong my child."
My mother is breathing heavily. And said-
" I'm sorry eomma but i have to go now. I need rest forever. Your son is calling me now. Plzz take care of yours and my babies." Hearing this i started crying more harder- " plzz eomma don't say like this. We already lost appa. If we lost you then who will take care of us. Now we have more life to live. Think about Jun, me and my grandparents."
She hold my hands and said-
" I'm sorry my child. But i have to go. You are my brave child right. You can take care of them. Promise me that you will take care of them. And please forgive us if we did any mistake." ( saying while looking at my grandparents.
" I promise you eomma, but without you I'm helpless i need you eom-"
She stopped breathing. And she loses her hands from my hand grip and that time we saw that she is no more.
Our tears were not stopping. My grandmother slowly closed her eyes while sliding down her hands from my mother's eyes.
The doctor came inside and saw that she is no more. He hovers the blanket in her face.
My brother was crying a lot but as i promised my eomma that i will take care of them i told him that no need to cry my lil brother they are just playing it's a game. While wiping his tears*
My brother asked- " noona? Are you saying true? Is this game? Our eomma appa didn't go anywhere?"
I was controlling my tears but for him I smiled and said- "yes brother they are here only with us. They didn't go anywhere."
By watching this my grandparents hugged me and started crying.
I said them don't worry halmeoni - hal-abeoji. I will take care of yours. I'm a brave child of my parents.
