Love After Life; Letters. . .

< letters >




To my Jessie,

Hey Jessie! It's your daddy! Daddy misses you!! How are you? I got your e-mail from your mother. Anyway, your mother and I met yesterday at the coffee shop. She was LOL-ing at my tux. She said she haven't seen me in a real formal attire after our wedding until yesterday. We talked about things like what's happening in our lives after divorce. Well, we missed each other's company. . . and I admit your mom still got me on my knees, the charisma's still with her. Haha! She told me about your life, your career. . . and I'm happy for you. I heard you're already driving your car. Yipee! You're a big girl now, I can't baby you anymore. Haha! I want to see you, Jessie. Hope we can meet. You have a free time next week? I'm looking forward to seeing you again.

Love lots, Daddy :)


< Jessie's POV >

I was reading his e-mail the whole morning.

I was jumping around my bed like I was still 7 the whole afternoon.

Even though I can still remember what happened that afternoon, my grudge for my daddy wasn't in me anymore. I've already forgotten about all of it, and I'm happy and hoping to see him again. Finally. . . I've waited for this day to come. I really miss my dad so bad.

I called my mom that night and told him about daddy's e-mail. I can hear static noices from the background, meaning she was somewhere in the world, doing work. Her voice was like music, like some miracle happened to her. She LOL-ed hard when I told her about his tux. She was obviously happy.

"You should see you dad." My mom said, sniffing after the long LOL-ing about my dad. "He's still handsome at 55. I'm blushing," She let out a soft laugh.

"Oh mom, you're too obvious," I smirked. "Yeah, I missed dad so much. Good thing you guys met. . ."

"Yeah. I don't know how to contact him, the fact that we've lost communication for almost 9 years." My mom agreed.

"You still have work?"

"Oh, now that you've reminded me about it. Can you call me after work? Or I'll just call you after work?"

"Later. I'm e-mailing dad now. Bye, Mom. Love you."

"Love you sweetheart."

She hung up after.


Daddy.

Good thing you and Mom met. Sure, we'll see each other if I've got free time. Y'know, your daughter's busy with work, haha~ I'll make sure of that, I've got a lot of stories to tell you. Miss you dad :)

"What? No way!" I almost shouted at the phone. I was driving off to work when my boss called me and told me I have to attend a business trip next week. Bad timing, really.

"You can't say no, you're my best pick and you'll do great there." My boss told me and sipped some drinks over the phone.

"I can't. I'm seeing an important person next week. Get another person, but not me. Not next week. Any week but not next week!" I was furious about the matter.

"I'm sorry, Jessica." He hung up after.

"Shit!" I threw my phone at the backseat. I can't really say no to my boss.
