Run Home || Thuy's Perspective

Epilogue

"Don't worry you can come and live with me," I say giving a thumbs up. We both wait in our room for hours and hours. Then we hear a knock on the door of the orphanage. The lady opens the door and we both run down stairs. I see Dad waiting there for me to give him a big fat hug.

"Dad!" I say.

~~~

"I can't believe you're here, but how did you get out?" I asked teary.

"Well you'll always be my girl Thuy," Dad says. 

I see Kim standing there watching me. 

"Come on Kim," I say trying to make her feel welcome. 

"Kim is that you?" asked Dad. 

"Dad is that really you?" asked Kim. Dad nodded. Then I saw Kim talking to my dad, I was so confused. 

"What do you mean? What's going on?" I say feeling muddled. 

"Come on, why don't you two jump in the car and I'll tell you all about It," said Dad.

"You have a car?" I say while walking down the stairs of the orphanage. 

"Yes," answers Dad looking happy. 

"But how did you get that?" I ask. 

"You'll see," Dad says. We both jump into the car in the two back seats. 

"So what's going on Dad?" I say giving a nervous smile. 

"You see girls, I was married to another woman and that was Kim's Mum and then I married your Mum Thuy because It didn't work out for me and Kim's Mum."

"But why? I don't get it," I say. 

"Me neither," Kim says. 

"Well the thing is you and Kim are both half sisters," Dad tries to make his voice sound calm. 

"What!!!" we both shout together. My head was like a oven burning the food that was in it. I couldn't believe me and Kim were sisters. It was such a coincidence. 

"But how did you get the car?" I ask. 

"Well while I was fighting in the war I got paid a lot of money to fight for the country. So after I got a call from the orphanage that you were here in Australia, I packed my bags and went straight over," Dad says with joy. 

"How did you get over here anyway?" Dad asks. 

"Oh it's a long story Dad, so long that we don't even know how to begin it," Kim and I say with laughter. We all chuckle in the car as we drive off to our new home.
