A True Love Story Exist

This was a story about my father & mother that was told by my grandmother.
My father was a kind of a gang leader when he was young. everyone in his community knew him and he was well known back then.
But he is not the type of a bad ass yankee coz everyone respect him and still honour him even until now.
So, one day, one of my father's friend ask my father to accompany him to pick up his sister back from her course.
At the course, there's when my father saw my mother for the first time.She was a friend's of my father's friend's sister.
It was love at the first sight.


My father then ask his friend about her so he told my father everything he wanna know.
Back from the course, my father followed my mother home. It's freaks her out.
When my mother got home, my father went to met my grandmother 「coz grandfather is already gone」 and told her that he falling love with her daugther and wanna marry her.
My mother absolutely rejected the proposal 'coz they just met and well, my father have his reputation at that time.
He also have long hair and menacing look. She affraid of him.
When he marry my mother, he even still have long hair and wearing a beatles suit.


My father did not gave up with my mother's rejection.
After that, He always followed my mother back from her course until she got home safely.
Kinda like a stalker i guess :P
He also recital his proposal everytime and everyday he got a chance.
He keep doing it for a few month until my mother gaves up and agreed to marry him.
She made the right decision.
They lead a 19 years of happy married without not even a single fight ever happened during that time as i knew.
I was born 11 month after their married. I was filled with such so much love.
My father was much a better person after marrying my mother.


After 19th years of married, my mother passed away due to an illness after about 5 years of suffering.
I don't cry. After seeing her fighting her desease for almost 5 years and spend almost the last 2 years in bed with so much pain, i think it might be best for my mother.
That was the only time i ever saw my father shed a tears. he is never cry. not even when his own mother passed away.
After my mother left, he looks like growth old faster. he look 10 years older than his age only in 2 years.
And soon after my mother's 2 years departing anniversary, my father passed away suddenly due to a heart attack.
Once again, he went after her.
I don't have a chance to see him for the last time.
That time i was stay in college in another town and i did not see him for about 6 month maybe.
When i finnaly got home, he was already buried. But i also did not cry.


My character, even as a girl, is so much like my father. Many people said i resembles my father's spirit a lot.
That's why I was such a rebel at my young age.
I was fighting with my father's alot coz we both very hardhead and often run away from home.
I made my mother crying river for me, and that's what made my father mad even more.
I was young and i was a fool. But that's not what i have regretted.
Coz of my father harshness i manage to lead my life fine and indepedently after my parents left, along with my brothers and sister, honestly.
What i regretted the most is not even once i ever say thank you to them.
Not even once i told them that i love them.
Not even once i ever made them smile happily.
Not even once i ever made them proud of me.
Not even once i ever let them know it's worth to have me in this world.
Not even once i ever made them smile and told the world proudly "Oh, that is my daugther"
Even how many times i said " I love you " on their grave, they wont ever know it.
I didn't cried when they're gone, Just now that i often cry for them. Like now.


My mother is such a kind, warm and caring person.
My father is "The Man"
He is such a honest person, hardworking, took care of other, dedicated, and was respected by everyone around him.
Even until now, people that we don't even know threat us very well when they know we are our fathers child.
My mother must be a very happy woman marrying him.
I miss them a lot.
My father was the only man i ever look up to in my life.
When it's come for me to get married, i wont marry just with any guy. I want to marry "The Man" as like my father.
I write this over a talk with someone before. He made me remember this story.
I wish a man like my father still exist in the world nowdays.


When i heard this story from my grandmother i was very moved.
She told me few years ago. Soon after, i always missed my parent then.
My father is such a harsh person. When my mother was still alive, i even never talk to him.
It's like there's a gap between us.
Only after my mother gone that we finnaly have a frequent conversation.
I always thought my father is just a stubborn old man, and he is indeed.
But he have a very soft heart feeling. I just realize that.


I like watching korean drama.
When i heard the story, it's like a drama.
Such a story really exist not just in drama movie.
A perfect example of to love in sick and health, in live and death.
I'm so proud of that.
