9 Dad does not Like ?
Liling knew she had to put extra effort in her studies, apart from the reading aspects, she didn't have any issues with the practicals. She was already perfect in playing the keyboard, her choice of instrunt. Her friends wondered why she didn't choose violin like other girls would, they where only about three girls that played the piano in the whole music departnt . She liked what she did and that's what mattered the most.
Three days after her birthday celebration, she decided to visit her mom again. Knowing her dad too well, he may not be there always, so she chose a period she was sure he was in the workshop. She bought so fruits and veggies for her mom, boarded a taxi and headed for the hospital.
She walked into her mom's ward, her mom was already awake, reading a book.
"Mom..." Liling wavered, afraid that her mom didn't want to see her.
"Lili" Ah Kum raised her head and motioned for Liling to co forward.
"Where have you been?, Mom had been worried " She asked worriedly ash she held Liling's hands.
"Mom, dad said I caused your illness, ....and chased away " Liling said as tears gathered up in her eyes. She was quite emotional.
"Lili dear, you know it's not possible, mom just had a minor heartache, that's all, and I've told you to stop taking what your dad says to heart, it's never true. My little Lili will never harm okay? " Her mom consoled her lovingly. "Now, wipe your tears and don't cry, okay" Ah Kum replied as she wiped Liling's tears with her palms. Liling moved closer and hugged her mom tightly.
"Mom, I missed you... so much, don't ever leave okay? "
"Ha ha, mom can't leave Lili. " Ah Kum raised her arms and wrapped them around Liling. After staying there like that, Liling released herself and searched around for the things she brought for her mom, she found it abandoned by the side.
"Mom, I brought so fruits for you, you will like them* Liling chuckled a little as she brought out the fruits and veggies and placed them in a bowl on the coffee table in the ward, washing the fruits thoroughly, she peeled the apples, carrots and bananas and cut them into cubes. She put them in plate and served her mom with a fork.
"You like it? " Liling asked as she smiled at little.
"Mmm, my Lili is very thoughtful " Liling watched as her mom slowly devoured the fruits, her eyes bead with satisfaction. But this lasted only for a second and it dimd once more.
"Mom, why does dad hate so much?" Liling's voice quivered as she stared at her mom's face.
"I'll be discharged today" Ah Kum brought Liling back from her thoughts.
"Is dad coming to take you?
"Not really, but he had already paid the fees, I'll be going on my own"
'I can see how much he loves you' Liling thought in her mind.
