I don't really thing there isn't anythin to say other than this was supposed to be a WonKyu one. But I think this pairing fits better lol.
I was around seven or six years old when my dad received this letter from the Cnada Government, asking him to get in the ambassy as soon as possible because someone had presented a lawsuit against him. The reason? He suppossedly neglected my mother the right of seeing her child.
At the time I didn't understand what was gong on, but I could tell my dad was something more than furious about it. No wonder why, Xiaomei just left us, and some years later she presented again, asking for the right of taking care of me, when obviously she tried to forget the shit about us for years? Why was she doing it? Why she at first said she had lost herself marrying my dad and giving birth to me, and later on sue my father for neglecting her the right to see the person she cared less about?
The things the lawsuit was based of didn't matter at all, the main objective was to break downmy dad's reputation, he almost lost his job and a lot of the oh-so called friends left away. Obviously it was only the two of us, alone, in a country that wasn't ours, facing a problem that came from overseas. Dad was spending his time in the canadian ambassy 24/7, hiring lawyer after lawyer, paying crazy sums of money and also facing the horror of perhaps losing me.
I would probably be taken away from him and given away to a strange woman who barely knew me.
The problem longed for about 8 months, compared to some similar cases it was short, but long enough to definitely crack off dad's nerves. He almost won the case, but an incident that happenedbecause of a phone call between me and my mother made the jury to change its mind.
Let's just say that I was having a talk with her...at first the topics were quite mundane, but then my mother asked me:
"Henry, are you happy living with dad?"
At first I hesitated in answering, but then I remembered what dad told me: 'if you ever get to talk with your mother, and she asks you something that is really difficult, just tell her the truth. She gave birth to you after all, and you should mantain a good relationship with her, no matter how mad at each other we are, never let my anger to ruin the relationship you have with her. And if you don't feel like you should love her back, just respect her'.
"I- I really feel very happy by his side. Here in the UK I don't have a lot of friends to talk to. I've never been sociable enough...but my dad takes care of me and sometimes buys me taiwanese lychee, which is my favourite fruit, although they are quite expensive in here...he sometimes take sme to places, and his office is huge!"
I think I sounded a bit like a spoiled son-of-daddy child...which hated a lot. I mean, I got to spent most of the time alone here in home, I wasn't a dependant son-of-daddy at all! So I tried to fix it by saying how much of a man I was to take care of myself alone in a quite big penthouse.
"But most of the time I demonstrate I am already a grown man!" I randomly blurted out
"Really? How's so?"
"I can take care of myself when I am alone in home!"
"Alone in the house? When does he leave you alone?"
"Most of the time, actually! I can take care of myself! Like the good-behaved boy I try to be! Seriously I am not kidding you!"
"Oh, I see"
"I am a big boy aren't I?"
She laughed for a moment
"Yes, Henry, you are"
I didn't really thought it was going to be a huge problem if i told the actual truth. But seemingly the judge thought the contrary when during the final session my mom showed up with a recording of the whole conversation. I didn't know she recorded all the ones we ever had.
I thought it wasn't a big deal, but when it was used to prove what my mom was saying throughout the entire process; that my dad didn't take care of me well, that he just dropped me in our penthouse and left. Everyday. All by my own.
Tears started to roll out of my eyes as my dad held me tightly, breathing hard. The lawyer replying by saying that he always had a lot of work to do, being the director of a pretty big company wasn't easy, especially when it came to take care of a child alone, without the support of a partner. That the reason why he worked hard and ended up all tired was because he tried to give me better things.
The judge came to a resolution. My dad kept the custody over me, but I got to spend the entire summer with mother until I was old enough to decide by myself.
Soon after the session reached an end, we headed to the car. I was holding my dad's car very though, as if asking him for pardon.
He just hugged me and both of us cried in silence.
I think we both forgave the other one. Right after that he took me to all the places I wanted. I was very happy.
Then I realised school was going to end soon and I had to travel to China in less than two weeks.
The I felt all saddened.
