Of course, I remember him. He was the one who saved my life. All my sadness wiped away just in seeing him again. He was my only true friend.
"Kai, is that really you?" "Yes, Delta. It really is me. Long time no see. I tried finding you and I finally did." "Kai, why did you leave that day?" "Del. What I am going to tell you is something you are never going to believe but unfortunately it is the truth." "You standing before me is unbelievable enough. I still feel like I am in a dream. What you are going to say can't be more unbelievable than this." "Delta, that day when you went for work, a middle-aged came to our house. He was none other than your...father." My father? That man who abandoned me like I was a pest? "He told me about how he had abandoned you when you were young. Actually he had his own reasons for it. Your dad's company was going through economic crisis that month. So your father took some loans. But your father couldn't pay them back. He had agreed to sign a bond that if he failed to pay it back, he should hand you over to them...as a prostitute. On the day of your sibling's death, he abandoned you to let you escape. He said the debt collectors that you ran away. The debt collectors gave him a time extension and said that he should pay the debt back by that time or die. He couldn't pay back the debt. The day he came to meet me was the day before his death. I attended his funeral after which I felt that if I stayed longer with you, I would have confided the truth that he wanted to keep a secret, forever."
Dad passed away? Why? Why? Why did he die just to prevent me from becoming a prostitute? Is this the person who I hated for abandoning me?
