"Can I come in ?"
"Yes , come here"
I opened the big door of my father's room and walked slowly towards it. I saw my father was resting on his chair.
I took a seat infront of him and straighten my back. I was still 9 back then.
"What's the matter dear ?"
"Hurmm papa.. I want to ask you a question .."
"Go ahead"
I fiddled my finger and looked at my papa.
"Papa , you know that .. I can read people's mind right ?"
Papa just nodded his head and looked at me lovingly. He waited for me to continue my confessions.
"Ermm.. but.. why I can't read yours ?"
He just gave me a soft smile and shook his head.
"Hmm .. why you are curious about papa's mind ?"
He asked me while laughing.
"It just .. nothing"
I get down from my papa's big chair and was about to walk away from papa's room. Then he held my wrist ,
"Tell me , what it is ?"
I put down my head and slowly turned around to him. Papa took me up to his side lap and looked at me.
"I'm sorry papa, but you know I miss Mom so much and I wanted to know where is she right now.. but .. you won't tell me"
I frowned. Mom had left us since I was a baby , I don't even know her face , her name or anything about her. Because papa don't want tell me.
"Dear.. listen, your Mom is always with us. You don't have to worry about that. She just live somewhere from here"
"So I can meet her?"
I asked jumped of excitement.
"Ya of course , oneday.. oneday you will meet her"
"Thank you papa, I love you"
I kissed my papa's cheeks and spread my arms and looked up to the air.
"I love you too Mom"
I get down from my papa's lap and get out of his room.
