STORY ...

Sarah is waiting for something. It’s already past mid-day and the sun is high up there, likely to burn everything. She has been here for more than nine months. She has been protected safe and sound.
This place is her very first home, a warm home. Dad and mom have never failed to give her more than enough food and warm clothes to live through these months. Thanks for that, she has grown, become bigger and bigger. Those nine months in the family has shown to her how much Dad loves and cherish Mom. Sarah feels that Dad and Mom are like a living body and water. A body always needs water to live. Since Sarah is here in this home, Dad always come home when the sun sets, when he finishes work on his farm, Mom makes very good meals and together with Sarah, she always waits for Dad to come home and have dinner. Dad and Mom talk about many things. And Sarah hears all very clearly. They talk about how Mom feels about Sarah, Dad is always eager to know how Sarah is doing, and Dad cares about how Mom is eating, etc. And Dad tells Mom about his work, how the people there do their jobs, who are good and who are lazy.
Sarah knows it that she is her parents’ great pleasure. Whenever Mom takes Sarah to supermarket, whenever she comes by any of her friends, she’s proud to tell them about Sarah’’ Ohm, Sarah has been doing very well; she’s good and has grown bigger day by day.’’ Dad comes home even sooner since Sarah is in the house. He enjoys keeping Mom and Sarah company. And, Sarah loves every story Dad tells her and Mom.
But, Dad’s disappeared since two days ago. That night, Dad didn’t come back home. Sarah could feel every heavy breath Mom breathed. Mom was lying on the wooden armchair, awake, waiting for Dad to come home. As Mom was anxious, Sarah couldn’t rest, either. She moved crazily inside Mom. The roosters snored the first time, the second time, and through the whole night, Mom was still waiting, and still there was no sight of Sarah’s Dad. Morning came, the sunrise woke Mom up after she dropped off for about one or two hours. Mom must be very tired after spending a white night. Inside Mom, Sarah feels hungry. But Mom’s so deeply worried about finding Dad that she almost forgot about Sarah.
5AM, half night half day, and it’s cold. Mom grabs the coat. Mom decides to go out seeking Dad. Dad and Mom have no relatives who live nearby. Now Dad’s gone, Mom has to find Dad all alone. But Sarah knows Mom is not alone, Sarah is always there, inside Mom, supports her.
Mom rushed to the farm where Dad works, nobody sees Dad. They saw Dad going home since that night, and Dad didn’t get back to work. Mom turned to Dad’s friends, they said they didn’t see Dad.
That’s right. Dad didn’t visit them frequently because all the time Dad spent staying at home playing with Mom and Sarah. After a few hours, Mom starts to feel heavy because Mom has Sarah inside Mom. Next week, Sarah will become an independent body. But until then, Sarah still loves being inside Mom.
