梦 - 执行

Actually, all the posts previously boils down to this. This was the reason why I revived my blog, needed somewhere to vent this out. The background is weird, but bear with me.

Setting: Home back in Malaysia.

Characters: Mom, Dad, me

"Why? Why does it have to be you? The new regime is f***ed up!"

"Kuan! Watch your language!"

"Sorry mom, but still." Turning to dad. "You are the president of Russia (why Russia? I don't know) can't you do something about it? Don't you have the KGB or whatever crap they call them nowadays? Make an escape! Runaway!"

"Boy ah, it's not so easy. The new government has the hold on everything. Plus, my sentence has been given out. All I want is to spend my last few moments with my family" (now that I think about it... what family?)

Mom reaches out for Dad's hand and squeezes it tightly. I turned away from them and thought, 'And here I thought all the while I'm indifferent about this guy, maybe I do love him as a father after all.'

A series on the TV caught my eye. It was about this HK police drama where the police captain is giving last minute orders to his team on how to rescue the hostages.

"Why does it appear so easy on TV?" I said, while looking outside and seeing the men in black guarding the entrance. Or exit.

"That's why it's a series with a happily ever after, but this is real" Mom replied. (not so real now...)

"I don't get it though, what did you do...?"

Question was never answered, as I woke up, feeling the fear and anxiousness of losing someone.
