Tonight, I think I want witnessed what true love is all about. It is really nothing fancy, nothing sky-rocking, like those in cheap-stick korean dramas; it is just simple yet strong. This is true love I have withnessed.
My parents had an stupid arguement tonight. My mom was complaining how my dad didn't dry his hair before sleep, and kicked him out of the bedroom. He was then left with no choice to sleep in the balcony. (we have a bunked bed there) My mom called me on her cell, (weird, since she could've just have come into my room and told me), saying I should tell dad to come back in. This is very typical of my mom; she wants to win, yet without losing any of her dignity. Despite my sincere effort to convince him to go back inside of the room, he refused, and raged out of the house with nothing but sleepwear, a wallet and a car key to drive away. Right away I thought, "fuck... , why is she doing this crap, I have school tomorrow," My brother, who was also equally frustrated as I was, drove off in another car to find him. When my mom knew about it, she seemed calm, but I was positive that she was surprised. Then she proceeded to sit in front of the house staircase, looking at both ends of the drive way, wishing every cars that passed by would be dad's. At that moment, I realized, my mom really loves my dad, because she is worried that he might not come back, but she is too afraid to admit it; she shows me her most vulnerable side when he was not with her. The once king of the bitch in the house all the sudden had turned into an innocent female (...wtf am I saying)whos worried about the man that she loves. Then after half an hour, we found dad. He drove to the end of the block and parked the car somewhere near the house and planned to sleep there. He couldn't drive away from the house; he couldn't drive away from her. He knew she would be worried, and she wouldn't be able to face herself for the rest of her life if something happened to him. So, he just hid near the house where we wouldn't see him. We finally found him and convinced him to get back inside the house. Then my brother and I left both of them alone to sort out their "unsettle" business. After like 5 mins, my mom came into my room, smiled and proclaimed her "victory", and ran off to bed. I too smile, as the whole events came to a conclusion. But I know that she did not smile because she won, she smiled because he was safe and with her once again. As for my dad, I gues he forgave her and go back to sleep in the bedroom.
True love, is the ability to unable to walk away when facing your partner's uneasiness, and understand that your partner loves you, even if they are unable to say it up front. This is what true love is about, and after 20 years of marriage, my parents still love each other very much. I wonder if I will ever find a girl that I can experience "true love" with
