Am hungry and there is food already but the knock that sound rampantly seem irritating and an hindrance as well, so in me ignored it.

I ate the bread with the roasted chicken i found in the sack.

I search the sack rigorously and i found a note with the prescription

"MEET ME AT JAPANESE BAR AT 19:00"

The writing was my dad's.

It's 18:41 already, meaning no time to waste with how clumsy it is to get to Japanese bar in suckcity then i have to make hail if i would get there by 19:00.

I saw my dad, he was older than the 49year old man i use to know, he was exhausted and hopeless as well but he saw me at the pole near a big tree smile anyway.

That kind of smile

"a prisoner that knew he his innocent but he was about to be hang"

will smile.

My father noticed how tiny i have become and he feel sorry for me, he knew what it means to have no family around to care of what you think and do.

Been hopeless is the greatest rebellion an individual can fight, my father told his friend SIR Churchill.

He hold my hand enthusiastically with that old smile with the word, am going to Africa and i will see you when i come.

If i don't come back anytime soon, don't wait for me again, get married and runaway to Paris renovate the old house and start a workshop then live low my son, I love you.

Hail oh, the ship cross is moving.

My dad ran out of Japanese bar to the the sheep cross on the ocean.

I watch my dad run like a mad dog towards the ocean, he nearly missed the ship cross.

I was still watching the ship cross sail into the ending horizon and sea meet when Mrs Wilson tapped me from behind with a plate of rice, gentle smile took over her face with an interesting voice sound of; are you interested? Yes ma'am.

Come to Japanese bar for breakfast and dinner everyday till you father comes back, but heed what he said because obviously he might not come back here the next one year because he don't want war to come, if war comes we, we are doom.

What she was saying got my attention seriously that i don't move for few minute until she tapped me again with the go ahead of; eat your food.

Thanks i said.

Days after day, time passed away but i still can't get what Mrs Wilson said off my mind, i walk the street but nobody knows that i had feeling for war to come.

If war will put an end to the miserable life in suck city and downtown then let it come.

I was trapped in my own thought, my mind went off key with stress.

I was badly sick in the heart but i still don't know why.

There were days i chooses not to go to Japanese bar to eat but Mrs Wilson will complain and pack the food i fail to come for with the one i currently want to have together, if I try to protest for giving me food that is okay for 2people, she will ignore the protest and answer me rather with;

"your father is a great man".

6 months after my dad left, still, no message from him, then i start have feelings that my father will not come back he might be trapped in after till eternity.
