I was suddenly hushed by my dad.
"What is wrong, dad", I asked.
He did not reply. He just motioned me into my mother's room where she was dying. My blood started running cold.
"Annabeth, promise me something", my mom whispered.
"Anything mom" I sobbed back.
"Be Always wise. Think before you act. Don't do what I did. Promise me" my mom said, her breath becoming more labored and shallow "
"Of course mom"
"I love you, dear"
It was the last words she ever spoke.
I sobbed uncontrollably in my dad's arms. His eyes were brimming with tears. I took a deep breath. My dad needed me as much as I needed him.
After the funeral, my dad continued his business and took care of me.
After 4 years
My dad called me into the sitting room.
He said "Annabeth you are now 16 and I realized you need a mother, so I would like to remarry"
I said "Sure dad. I will need some womanly advice and I can't get it from you"
He chuckled at my joke.
