3 Months Later...

Time seemed to move slow. It has been three months since my mother was basically ripped from her home. I hadn't been getting along with my father at all. I absolutely saw no use in even communicating with him after what he has done.

"언제까지 이러실 건가요? 얼마나 있으면 다시 얘기할 수 있죠?" (How long will you be like this ? How long before you talk to me again, Son ?) I honestly couldn't stand my father. He ultimately made a decision about my mother' life & disregarded how I'd feel. "그들이 우리 엄마에게 무슨 짓을 했는지 언제 말해줄래요?" (When will you tell me what they had done with my mother ?)

I could tell his patience with me was running thing, but I didn't care. Imagine how my mother felt at this very moment. A few weeks after my mother was taken it had became apparent that there was some virus infecting people. It at first started out as paranoia. It is is assumed that it would turn into full blown hysteria soon. There also was no way of knowing exactly how this virus was affecting people at the rate that it is. "You're mother is getting help. I couldn't let her stay here & risk you getting attacked again."

I stood up from where I sat angrily. "How is that you decision ? Did you ever think how she must be feeling about any of this ?" He just wanted to protect me, I know. However, I refuse to see it any other way. My mother could be in unmeasurable pain & it would be my father' fault. "Daniel wait--", my father had started. I quickly brushed him off, "I'll be back in a few hours." 

I usually helped our neighbors with things or chores. I felt it could keep my distracted from my pain & make some money to help with the bills. Dad had been struggling since mom had left. I wanted to take some of his burden off of him. Not his guilt. 

I came home a few hours later. Even brought dinner. "Where have you been ?", my father immediately asked. "Are you alright ?" My father helped me sit down the food. H e was shaking & looked worried over anything else. "Where did you go, Daniel ? I never know where you go these days. Not since your mother--" I cut him off again, "제 어머니에 대해서는 말하지 마세요. 당신은 그럴 권리가 없어요." (Do not speak of my mother. You have no right.)
