"Ah girl......."

"Ah girl, when you want to find husband ah?" the old lady asked her 34 year old daughter. How can Lily describe her reason why she hides from being attached? It has been 4 years ago but no one can ever get over 8 years of hurt and pain. Not even the strongest will.

"Ma, isnt it better that I have all the time to take care of you? Once I get married, who's gonna look after you?"

"Aiya, I am still strong! Strong enough to even plough a whole paddy field. You should forget about what your father did already."

Lily froze. How did her mother know? It was simply impossible for her to find out.

As if reading Lily's mind, her mother replied, "You must be thinking how did I know right? Ah girl, I gave birth to you. Of course I know you well."

With tears in her eyes, Lily hugged her mother tightly.
