English - The Day, Where We Forget Each Other (THE END)

Part 2

Singto sneaked into a pitch-dark house because his wife and son had definitely slept at this hour so he didn't want to startled them. Singto walks slowly into the kitchen to search for leftovers in the refrigerator because he has not eaten, and his stomach rumbles.

He opened the fridge but there was nothing besides raw vegetables, eggs, and some bottles of water. He closed the fridge and sighed, suddenly someone turned on the light and startled him.

"Why did you just come home at this hour?" asked his wife, Pim.

Singto turned his body lazily and answered. "I have overtime...work..."

"Overtime...always overtime, but you never get overpaid..." protested Pim.

"But today I got a bonus from catching a criminal..." he then took the money envelope from his pocket and handed it to his wife.

The woman accepted it with sparkling eyes and examined its content. "Just this much?"

"Hey, that's much! If you are able to save money and not buy unnecessary items, that's enough for a half month's living cost... "

"Buy unnecessary items? What do you mean? So you say, I cannot buy a cosmetic? "

"I don't want to fight with you! You did not cook today?"

"I did!"

"Not left some for me?"

"I had thrown it away, If you're hungry, then go eat from the trash can!"

"You throw at food again?!" Singto asked emotionally. "Don't you know how hard to earn money! Can't you try to save some?"

"You've been a cop for four years, yet your rank has never been upgrading, and your salary hasn't gone up so much as well! Why don't you just quit and find another job? "

"Do I ever let both of you, mother and son starve for these four years?"

"No, but we live a low life and have to be frugal! I'm so embarrassed every time I meet my schoolmates, they wear nice clothes, nice jewelry, and even drive a car! Yet my appearance is like a housekeeper!"

"You just care about yourself! Are you even concerned about Sung? About his school and how was his development or his nutrient needs? What kind of mother are you?"

"Sung is not a toddler anymore, he can take care of himself!"

"He's only 7 years old..."

"Do you think all this time I don't care for him? Whose do you think that cook for him? Take him to school, take care of him at home until now? You?"

"I'm the one who pays for all the expenses of this family and Sung's school fees!"

"Oh, really? Have you paid your debt to Ming for Sung's school fees? "

"If not because you who spend all of our savings, we do not need to owe money from others!" Singto replied furiously. "Enough, I do not want to waste energy to arguing with you!" He walked past Pim to the bathroom.

Seeing that, Pim immediately went into the room and locked the door. Singto who just finished shower bang on the door with emotion.

"Open the door Pim! I want to sleep!"

"Sleep outside!" Shouted Pim from inside. She refused to open the door for him.

"Please Pim, I'm sorry! Please let me in! "Singto changed his tone. "Honey, please...love you..."

But the woman doesn't respond. So he did not have a choice, but then take a cushion to make a headboard and curl up on the floor and sleep. But he could not close his eyes even a minute, because of mosquitoes's sting, starving and cold.
