PREFACE
2 YEARS PASSED
BEFORE XENA'S FATHER DIED.
"HONEY, I WANT TO STAY A LITTLE BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. I WANT TO SEE MY DAUGTHER GROW UP AND TAKE OVER MY COMPANY AND…." XENA'S FATHER SAID TO HER MOM.
"NO, NO…THERE MUST BE A WAY,DARLING. JUST PLEASE DON'T SAY THAT WE NEED YOU" MOTHER CRIED.
"I…I WANT XENA TO MARRY THE SON OF THE INTEL GROUP….I KNOW IM…IM BEING TOO SELFISH TO XENA BUT I WANT HIM TO MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON THAT WILL HELP HER TO HANDLE THE COMPANY…MARRY THE ONE I CHOOSE FOR..HER, HONEY" FATHER ADDED. THEN MOTHER NODDED.
THE DOOR OPENED AND XENA ENTER THE ROOM CRYING
"D-DAD? OH NO!..WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? WHY DID THIS HAPPENED TO YOU?!" I BURST CRYING AS I SAW HER FATHER LYING IN BED WITH A PALE FACE. I WALK TOWARDS TO THE BED WHERE FATHER WAS LYING THEN GET HIS HAND UNTO MY FACE WHILE MY TEARS DROPPING TO DAD'S HAND. I HAVE TO TAKE THIS LAST MOMENT FROM MY DAD. I WANT TO FEEL MY DAD IN THE VERY LAST MOMENT.THEN I CRIED SO LOUD.
"OH….MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER, I…I WISH DADDY CAN STILL HOLD YOU LIKE THIS…XENA MY BABY I HOPE ONE DAY YOU WILL GIVE ME A CHANCE TO FULFILL MY DREAMS…AND I WANT…. I WANT YOU..TO MARRY YOUR UNCLE DUKE'S SON…I KNOW HE WILL HELP YOU RUN OUR COMPANY…I'M SO SORRY BABY FOR BEING SUCH A SELFISH DAD…I HOPE THAT YOU WILL FORGIVE ME--SOMEDAY" MY DAD SAID AND INHALE'S SO DEEP
"HONEY….XENA…ALWAYS REMEMBER DADDY…LOVES YOU BOTH" LAST WORDS OF HER DAD THEN HE EXHALES DEEPLY
"NO,DAD…DAAAAAAADDD!!!! PLEASE DON'T...GO-" XENA CRIED A LOT. AND HER MOTHER HUG HER SO TIGHT SO THAT SHE WILL CALM DOWN ATLEAST BUT IT DID'NT WORK…SHE BURST INTO A LOUD CRY.
AFTER THE FUNERAL OF FATHER…I ASK HER FRIEND SALLIE TO GIVE HER A RIDE TO THE BAR.
"HOW COME WERE HERE?ARE YOU MEETING SOMEONE, XENA?"ASK SALLY CONFUSELY
"NO." I REPLIED
I CALL THE BARTENDER AND ORDER A HARD LIQUIOR.
"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, HUH?"AS SHE SWIFT AWAY THE LIQUIOR FROM HER.
"I GOT A LOT OF PROBLEM, BES. I…HOW DID..WHY DOES…I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME…TO US…TO COMPANY IN THE FUTURE. I'M NOT READY FOR THIS-"
"SHHH..C'MON XENA, CALM DOWN…LET'S TALK ABOUT IT ONE BY ONE, HAHHA I THINK YOU REALLY NEED A CHAT AND…A SHOT,EHEHHE BUT 1 BOTTLE IS ENOUGH,OK?" SALLIE CUT MY WORDS. CAUZE SHE KNOW THAT I WILL NOT GOING TO STOP…
3 HOURS PASSED
"UHHHH! MY GOD, MY HEAD HURT…HAHAHAAH" SALLIE LAUGH AND GET HER RINGING PHONE.DAMN IT.
"UHMMM, XENA I HAVE TO TAKE THIS CALL.I'LL BE BACK" SALLIE SAID.
"TAKE YOUR TIME, IM FINE" I REPLIED, AND RUSH OUTSIDE.
GOD! I'M REALLY CONFUSED NOW.NO WAY, WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME! IM SO DIZZY. IM NOT SEEING THINGS CLEARLY. SOMEONE IS CALLING ME AT THE BACK. BUT I DIDN'T HEARD ANYTHING.
"MISS? ARE YOU OKAY?" A MAN'S VOICE CAME INTO HER EARS. I TURN MY HEAD AND SEE A GOOD-LOOKING MAN BEHIND ME…
"YES…I'M OKAY…BUT, IM TELLING YOU…YOU SHOULD HOLD UNTO SOMETHING HARD AND STRONG" I SAID TO THE TALL AND MASCULINE MAN.
"ME? HA! WHY?!" ASK THE YOUNG MAN CONFUSELY AND WITH AN AMUSEMENT.
"THE WORLD IS SPINNING!!!!" I SHOUTED AND MY SIGHT WENT BLACK.
I JUST HEAR SALLIE CALLING MY NAME. SHE CALL MR.PARK TO GIVE US A RIDE BACK HOME. THEN I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPEN NEXT!
