Pinch of Regret
(Words count: 283 words)
I received news from home that my father just passed away. I have been working
in a palm plantation in East Malaysia for the last five years. I never back home during
those years.
I made a terrible mistake in my birthplace, impregnating my girlfriend.
I remembered our last encounter five years ago before I ran away to Malaysia to
be a migrant worker. We sat on a jetty when looking at big waves racing each other to
reach the lips of the beach.
She suddenly said: “Would you come with me to meet my mother to discuss
things?”
“What for said I?” Then, I threw a stone to the sea.
“You needed to ask her permission to marry me”, she said. I didn’t get my period for
more than two months. “I’m pregnant, she said while sobbing”. I’m carrying your child.
“What?” I disbelieved what I just heard.
I still remembered my reaction at that time. I ran along the jetty: “I was losing my
mind”.
I left her behind when she was still crying and I never looked back.
She kept calling my name from a distance.
I never contacted her when I was working in Malaysia.
I have to come home to attend my father's funeral. How can I confront her again?
Did she keep the baby? The baby must have been growing up now if he or she still lives.
How is she now? Has she got married to someone else? There are a lot of things that come
to my mind, but I don’t have the answers for them.
In a few hours, I will be in my village again after five years. How I will face
everything?
