4 The Call

I watch the tall trees as I pass by via taxi. Random Jazz is played as I enjoy the scenery.

This is one of the things that others tends to discard and doesn't notice. Being an audience of this peace is like experiencing a refreshing spring. The sweet and freshing air that sweeps my hair. Makes you want to enjoy every bits and pieces as my eye lids starts to feel heavy...

"Ma'am, we already have arrived" The taxi driver that I called in Uber tried waking me up.

As I face my old apartment that's was used to be a desolated place. The memories that I can't bury nor forget; plays with my emotions with endless puzzle.

After I inserted the right key among the dozens which three-fourths of it is solely because of my job.

Feeling the thirst for H²O, I headed for the refrigerator to get a cold of bottled water to satisfy my thirst.

As I lay down on my bed, I started to make a plan for my life. The first on the list was to go back to the office tomorrow and be a quick witted secretary so that I can finish the work that I left and look at the records for the transaction that our company made. Second, make my move to Su Jie Sheng for his actions. Lastly, I'm gonna watch the paradise of the perpetrators who's behind my death be demolished...

Just thinking about the work that is waiting to greet me at the office tomorrow morning makes my head hurt. I should probably go take a little nap...

Hgnm... Who's calling me? My hand instinctively head for the table at my bedside.

I looked at the phone and saw it was five in the afternoon. The caller was named "Mother". Just recalling my family makes my heart colder and numb.

Adding my stepmother who my father remarried after my mother died made my mood reach a -3°C.

I reached for the answer button and answered it.

"Mom? How are you?" I politely asked

"Hey honey, can you lend me money at the moment? Your brother needs to pay for he's University." Yong Lu Zie answered with a chillingly honey coated tone. Just hearing it makes my ear ring.

After my mother died, Yong Lu Zie, my stepmother was hurriedly married by my despicable father Yong Lu Wei.

I just got into an accident and they didn't even asked me how I'm doing but have enough skin to ask for money. I didn't expect for me to be so dense in that vivid but at the same time ambiguous dream that I keep in my heart and couldn't just let it be.

A part of me wishes that dream to be real because I fell in love with my boss real hard but it also involves my family betrayal that numbs and tingles my sentiments.

"I just got into a accident, mother. Isn't father around?" I placidly answer as a rising suspicion is stuck at my throat proving that maybe, that dream, is real...
