64 Resemblance

Lifen was sitting on the windowsill, staring at the stars in the sky out her window. It seemed like she was questioning the stars about her life.

Suddenly a soft hand caressed her hair lightly, "Are you missing them? Don't worry they are always with you, looking at you and protecting you, like you say"

She turned her head slightly and looked at her mother who has come to her. "Mumma, do you need something? You should have called me. You should rest. Come and sit. Don't stand for long", she said in a concerned tone.

"My pretty girl, I am alright now. Don't care for me so much. You will soon be leaving us, then how will I manage?" Mother Wu said with teary eyes, remembering something.

"Mumma, why are you mentioning that again. I am still with you. We should enjoy the present. Why we have to think of the future. We still have time", Lifen said making a sad face.
