649 What if?
Keeping quiet for quite some time, Yumi asked, "Dad, did I do the right thing?"
"Hmm what makes you feel that you did the wrong thing?" Singtan asked.
Yumi pursed her lips and sighed. "I don't know dad, I just feel like I shouldn't have told him that. What if he was thinking of coming back but changed his mind because I told him so many things?" Yes, she was worried. Worried because she thought she acted very impulsively. She was worried that he wouldn't come back at all.
"Are you really tired of waiting for him?" Singtan asked.
Yumi shook her head and said, "I don't know dad." Lifting her head up, she added, "Dad, did you ever get tired waiting for mom?"
Singtan vigorously shook his head. "No."
"Last question, what if mom really married someone else. What would you do then?" Yumi asked.
Singtan chuckled and helplessly shook his head. "You are my daughter so I won't lie to you but you aren't allowed to tell this to anyone. Well, when I heard about your mom's wedding, I cried a lot. I literally locked myself inside my office and didn't come out for hours. I cried not because I regretted waiting for her but because I lost the woman I loved. When you don't get something that you want, you will feel sad and shattered but that is not the end of life. I don't know what I would've done after that but I am a hundred percent sure that I wouldn't have regretted it at any cost."
Tapping her nose, Singtan smiled. "Remember one thing princess, never regret anything that once made you smile."
"And you never know what might happen in the future? What if Zixin really comes back? Or what if there is a much more handsome and dashing man waiting for my beautiful daughter? What if- you see honey, there are so many what if's in the future. But you must not waste your time thinking about what those what if's are but live in and for the present. Time will heal everything and God has a plan for everything and everyone." Singtan added.
Yumi took a deep breath and hugged her father. "Why does it always feel so good after I talk to you? Do you have some kind of magic spell?"
"Your dad is just an awesome dad honey." Singtan proudly exclaimed.
Yumi chuckled and nodded her head, "Yes yes, you are really an awesome dad, dad."
Patting her back, Singtan smiled. "Your mom and I never interfered or tried to pressurise all four of you to do anything. We let you do what you wanted to and have always supported you all. And no matter what you decide or what the outcome is, your parents will always support you."
