The Last Hope

Mom's

"I don't get it, mom. Why dad being like this? What is he doing to me?"

Her tears fall again.

"Why he want me to marry with his business partner's son? I don't even know him. I want to marry someone I love, not like this" her chest feel tight.

"I'm still young, mom. I'm only 20. I never ready with this kind of marriage, mom" Mijoo hold the glass window.

"Mom, if you still here, you must have comfort me with your words. I'm not strong, mom. I need you, mom"

Mijoo cried more as she stumbled down. She truly need her mom's warm hugs to comfort her. She want her mom to wipe all tears that she already burst out. But, it's all dream. Her mom is in a better place now which she can't get her warm hugs.

It's almost one hour Mr.Kim waited for Mijoo. He get out from the car, went to look for her. He was shocked seeing Mijoo were on the floors. He helped her to get up. She hold the glass window for the last time.

"Goodbye, mom. I love you"

Mijoo's mom died during her business trip. She went alone to Japan. The plane that was supposedly bring her back to Korea crashed as it landed at Incheon Airport. Mijoo was 15 at that time, feeling lost and depressed at the same time. Her friend, Jisoo, tried to bring her back to the old cheerful Mijoo but it takes almost a year for her to recovery.

Mark sighed.

"Dad please. I'm willing to do anything except this marriage"

"Mark, just do what your dad wants" his mom who quiet just now, defend his dad.
