It was an early winter morning when Gd received a call from somebody from the past.

He have not talked to her for years,ten years to be exact and suddenly out from somewhere she came back to his life, like a knife to open old wounds.

After ten years his Mom called,after walking out of their life,she came back.

He could not speak,he could not comprehend what she is saying on the other line.Her voice is a mere whispers as the other voice on the other line took over.

"Gd please come before it is too late."

the voice on the other line said.It is a voice of a girl."Your Mom needs you"

He remembered writing the direction of the hospital where she was at.There was no tears but a stoic face,when he arrived in the hospital.His Mom saw him for the last time and she smiled at the sight of him and she tried to grab his hand,but he was too far as she took her last breathe.He said he is not going to cry,but the tears came.He guess he owed it to her, to the lady who gave him , his life.

He made all the necessary arrangement for her funeral and gave her a decent resting place.

He wants to place her beside his Father,but he was afraid that his Father will got out of his grave ,just to move away from her.

He remembered it too well,he was fifteen when she walked out of them.His Mom was crying ,she wanted to take him with her but his Father stopped her,as he closed the door behind her.He never see her until this time.

His father told him,her Mom went away with her lover.

He was old enough to understand.The betrayal that his father felt and the disappointment.He carried it with him in his grave.

His Father worked hard to be where they are right now and he owed it to his Old Man.He trained him and educated him to be on the top.

Now his father is gone,and he took over the company.They said he was hard and ruthless like after the mold.He is not allowed to show any emotions in front of anybody.Nobody can play with his emotion anymore.

He was waiting for the lawyer who called him.

He said that her mother left something for him.He knows that she died poor.He was even the one who paid her hospital bills so what could it be but another liabilities that she have left off.

The secretary buzzed off,and told him of the forthcoming visitor.

He was still seated on the chair as they walked in.There was an middle aged balding Man and a young lady.She did not saw her in the funeral.He wondered who she was.She look so sad and vulnerable like you would like to protect her from everything.She have a sweet beautiful face but she looked too scared.

He tried to smiled to help the young lady feel at ease.But the more she crunches behind the lawyer.

"You must be Attorney Yang,I am Kwon Ji Yong.Please have a seat"he said as he extend his hand."And the young lady is ?"

"She is Sandara Park."the lawyer continued.He was about to extend his hand but she stayed where she is.

"I am here about the last wish of your Mother.Sandara is under the guardianship of your Mother and I have a letter than says you will assume guardianship ."the lawyer said.

Gd took a deep breathe,He will pay debt that his mother owed,but a person,he does not even know her."And how am I related to her.I don't even know her.I assume,she was not my sister,not a cousin,who is she in my Mother's life?"

"Your Mother adopted her,she was an orphan,so she made specific instructions to send her to you,if she died."Atty Yang said."I have a letter for you from your Mom and all the necessary paper regarding guardianship is in this file."

"No,wait,wait a minute,you are not leaving her with me."Gd said.

His voice high ."I don't care who she is, you have to take her back."

"I am sorry,I have to leave now."Atty Yang."I have a court appointment,I have to go"as he walked away.

Ji Yong kicked the chair in frustration,as he closed his eyes.
What am I going to do with her now.
