Nicole POV

"I'm in the room in a typical Tuesday night.. I'm listening to the kind of music. She doesn't like..."

I know you are so familiar with that song and yes! I've sing it in the middle of traffic.

'Beep! Beep!'

Not! When the hot headed drivers shouting at you and keep buzzing at you. What?! That's how I drive and I remember, they said; that 'you don't have to get hurry and drive fast because after all you only had one destination you wanted to. So why not drive slow and be safe driving and sing a little.'

Well, that's how I used to believe. I m about to laugh when a guy roll down his car window and shouted on me. " Miss! If you can't drive! Just walk or better go home!" He said then he closed back his window again while driving like crazy at the road. What a jerk!

"So what?"

That all I say before I focused at the road toward the place I really wanted to go for years.

• • •••••••

After an hour of driving which is the sun had already gone in the horizon I parked my car in front of a camouflage cabin. I look at the man who wears the same color as the cabin with a gun on his hip in tacked.

My heart beat wildly in my chest thinking how my world becomes nowhere as I think about the past.

The past that seemingly change my life after that incident. Taking a deep breath and I slowly go out at my car then closed it with a little 'bang!'

"Good morning ma'am!" The guard greeted me with no expression plaster on his face. I give him a reassuring nod. "Are you here to visit?" Another nod while biting my lips in nervous.

This is not my first time coming here but it seems like I'm going to step in a very dark cave while walking towards the visiting room. Just a little minute of walking I finally arrive at the visiting area for those who have been waiting for their love one to come.

"Just wait right here in a moment ma'am the officer had already announced your visit with your father." My mouth gape open at the mention of my father. Yes! My father was an inmate and nobody knows that he had been here for almost ten years, to be exact.

Everytime I've been here I always wanted to cry and beg the jail guard to let my father out of here and go home with us. But! I know I can't do that since his case had been so heavy. Heavy for me to accept that he had been committed that crime.

Another minute had passed and In already sweating for nervousness and nausea. Seeing most of the people in here had committed different sin, just like my father. On the other hand, I'm on the edge of going home and forget that I'm here waiting with my father to show up.

"Honey?" A very deep but good for me to hear his voice again after so many years. I hesitate to look up to tho him but the urge of excitement to see him, again! Win the fight between 'no' and 'yes'.

"Father!" Not in my voice but deep inside I felt a lot of emotions like excitement, eagerness to see him and happy that I could hug him and feel his present again.

The electric seems so strong in every steps he take toward in my direction. It seems like we've been in a pull and push situation and finally! His in front of me wearing his same smile when I was a kid.

We both sat down and I grab his hands to hold it tight. Even how much I try to convince myself not to cry but the tears still slip in my eye.

"Dad? I miss you! I miss you so much!" Just as that I round the table and sat beside him to give him my longing hug. At that moment I cannot help but cry and sob while my head lean at his now thin shoulder. "How are you, dad?" That's the only question I've been wanting to let go after I look at his state.

"I'm. I'm good!" I know his lying because by looking at his eyes and posture he seems to have a problem.

"Ate sure? Are you fine in here? You're not sick?" Even though that's the silly question I asked but I still want to ask him, though.

He shake his while giving me a weak smile. "Yeah..'cough! " He was cut off by his first cough then followed by another until.

"Father!"
