One Shot: Not So Perfect

Not So Perfect [Short Story]

NOTICE:

This is an ENGLISH translated story (bwahahahaha)

I'm not good at grammars so please bear with it ok?

I thank you ^3^}

Everyone thinks that we are a perfect family. We have big house, nice car, my dad has a great job, and mom is full of love and a cute daughter. Who would have thought that inside those big walls were just like an ordinary family? When they got separated people ask why? They look perfectly perfect; they try to gossips some stories which made me sick of listening. They don't know anything! They don't know what happened behind those walls! That's why they will never understand.

They fought almost every day, but before end of the day they both give smile to each other. Even when I'm too young that time I really understand love. You can't be perfect, never but when you met a person whom you realized you will be with until your last breath you'll feel perfect even you're not. Because that person looked at you perfectly without saying it.

I was eight when they got separated and I ask dad what happened he just says "I fell out of love with your mom." He really looks burdened but within those eyes I saw a very strong love out of it. I knew it from those eyes that dad is just tired of mom but he still love her, I know I can feel it.

I did not get mad of dad because I know how much he loves mom. Rumored passed down people and they say dad remarried right after he left the big house. I didn't believe those lies. I cut my communication to the outside world, because I don't want to hear those stupid stories they make.

Since dad left mom looks very sad. She became thinner and thinner every day, she's always out. I will never fell out of love of mom just like what dad told me. Because every single day of my life I got to spend it with the greatest mom of all. Even if she's sick she never looked down and she always says that "I'm so lucky that dad left you to me." Then she will smile and hug me.

The last thing I know mom got hospitalized and diagnosed that she has a stage 4 lung cancer. I cried really hard that day, I don't want to lose mom. Dad left and then mom will leave too? That's the time I question God why it has to be our family? They're really good people.

The day that I was crying and running on the street and it's raining so hard a guy stopped in front of me. He looked exhausted, and then he hugged me and said "It will be alright." I tried to push him but he didn't let me go. He hugged me tighter and cried. That makes me cried really hard, I don't know this guy but how could he eased those pains inside my heart?

Starting that day he always appears unexpectedly anywhere. Even up to mom's last breath he's beside me. It is really painful to lose another special person. Now I'm all alone.

Dad came on mom's last day of burial and he's running towards her coffin. He shouts and cried so hard. He starts mumbling words i cannot understand. Then this guy came to hug my dad, but dad just punched him really hard. "I told you to take care of them! But what happened? Why did this happen?" Dad shouted at him while pointing on my mom's coffin. I go near dad and hugged him, I saw dad's expression and he was really shocked but then he hugged me as if it will be my last day on the earth and he told me "I'm sorry Alice, I'm so sorry for leaving you and your mom. I'm sorry for all those years I'm not with mom. I'm sorry really sorry." And we both cried.

Then after mom got buried, dad came back to the big house. When he entered the house he started crying again. Then this guy again appeared and tapped my dad's back and said "She wants you to read this dad." I got confused does it mean he's my brother? Then dad said "I'm sorry for punching you really hard." and then he chuckled.

Dad goes to mom's favorite spot, the pool and he started reading the note. I can see that dad is really trying hard not to cry. Then I looked at to that guy and ask him, "So you're my brother? How come you talked to mom?" Then that guy just smiled at me and patted my head "I'm not really your brother ok? I just called him dad because he adopted me when i ran away from home because I got bitten by my real dad. And it was last year when i got a chance to talk to your mom. She just discovered it recently that dad's the person who sends me. She is really an amazing person."

I tried to read what on moms note and I don't know what to say.

Hey sweetie,

I'm sorry for telling you lies that time, I got afraid of the thought that someday I'll be leaving you and Alice. I tried to hide it until you left, it's really painful but then I told myself that it will be okay. Day by day the disease got worst but I didn't think of leaving Alice, it will hurt her and me. Thank you for leaving Alice to me, I thought you will take her away from me. Do you know sweetie? Our Alice is a strong girl; she really is like me just like what you have said. She didn't listen to those rumors and believes in you. I have only one wish, please come back and take care of our little Alice. I know the hurt will be lessening if you are there beside her.

I love you sweetie, I always did and I will love you until my last breath.

Love,

Aliyah

P.S.

Tim asked me if he can court Alice and I approved him. He is really a great guy; he took care of Alice without her knowing it. I love that guy, and when the day come she got a confession from Tim please approved him. He resembles you.
