Or more like he is working with his phone.
So we went out for lunch, he broke down the story of my dad.
Story goes that things were never going well with my mum and dad.
So dad left for another women, as much as mum hates him. I don't blame him.
But I always thought dad was always with her. Well, that's not the main point.
What makes me so upset is, even if mum was abandoned by dad. She still has the both of us.
What about dad? He spends his Sundays eating alone in a hawker center.
Mum complaints that dad never spend enough for us, from the way I see it?
He paid for the house, FULLY PAID. And given to my mum. Monthly allowance given, thou late at times. But he is a responsible dad, even brings us out for dinner every once in a while.
I thought, he had another family. But what did I found out today?
He spends his money on me and my brother without us knowing.
Always calls back to check on us, I know how it feels!! Sometimes I reject, for the sake of games?
Dad, the one sentence Uncle Collin said. Almost brought me to tears.
The one thing I always was, the one thing I feared so much.
He said, "Do you know your father is a lonely man?"
Right away, I became speechless. All this while, my dad..
A man whom always smile, always being supportive, always cheerful, is actually lonely inside.
He never stayed with a women before, he may have Aunt Sam but they only meet up very seldom. Once a week perhaps?
I remember, many times I would lie to him. When he asked me out for lunch or dinner.
I find excuses to tell him, we ate already or something like that.
I'm sorry dad, I wanna spend more time with you.
Thank you, for being my superman.
I want to make you proud.
