Epilogue - 'Fourteen Years LateR'...

Epilogue :--

Fourteen year old Weilan Wuxian Wang was having trouble with her homework. Or more precisely, her Physics assignment. She glanced up at the clock. Usually, she would simply ask her father to help, but he had gone out-of-country for one of his conferences. He was due to arrive that night, though-his flight was supposed to land soon..about an hour or so from now. But it was only 6 o' clock.

Giving up, she wandered over to the library. Her papa was there, busily typing away on a laptop. "Finished yet,Mom?" she asked. Her papa turned to her, looking extremely sad. "Oh-no, Weilan ," he said. "I'm just so tired. What's the time? And dear, how many times have I been told to call me 'papa ' not mom!! "

"Six-five, and I'm sorry papa !" she replied. Her papa Wuxian suddenly looked horrified. "I didn't give you your milk! Why didn't you come before?"

"aunt sent me a batch of sweets made today, so I'm full anyway. Can I have a look at what you're writing now?"

Wuxian looked hesitant. "Weilan--I don't know if you should read this. I mean, please don't be angry, sweetheart, but you're a bit young, you know..."

"Oh, come on, Mom... Eh... Sorry, papa , I read all those old books you have in your restricted section," said Weilan , rolling her eyes.

Her papa frowned. "Those were by other people , Weilan. This one is by your papa. Me.

He switched off his laptop. "Why aren't you studying?"

"I can't do my Physics assignment," she grumbled. "And dad got delayed in Hong Kong, so I'm loitering.."

"Why didn't you ask me then?" asked Wuxian.

Weilan giggled at him. "But you- oh, right, sorry! I forgot you studied Science too."

Her papa laughed and tucked a curl behind her ear. "Come on then. We'll go tackle Physics," he said, getting up and following Weilan to her room.

It was surprisingly easy once her Papa began to explain the entire process. At the end of it, she said, "Papa, thanks- I can do it now."

But her Papa was busy drawing out some magnetic fields for her. Weilan let him do it. Her Papa had once been a very good artist, but these days, the only time he drew was when he was illustrating his own book covers.

Just then as Wuxian was busy drawing, his cell phone rang. Weilan went over to pick it up and squealed in joy. "DAD!" she exclaimed, answering the call.

"Hello there," she heard her father's warm voice. "How're you doing? Where's your PAPA? Writing?"

"I'm okay, DAD," she said, giggling as she saw her PAPA wearing the star struck expression he always did when speaking to his father. She'd seen that same expression so many times, even when they weren't married".

Wangji heard Wuxian admonish his daughter. "You go finish your assignment, Dear. Hi, Wangji ," he added, coming out of the room .

"Hey, TR," he said, getting into the car they had sent for him.

Both Wuxian and Weilan had wanted to come, but Wangji wouldn't have them waiting alone for him."What's up?

Wuxian sighed. "I killed him off."
