2 day ago, I made along journey finish up 1 day. We decided to return to our own village to attend my father best friend obsequies. A day before he pass away, he sent my father a mysterious message. I just remembered one mysterious line " Jo, family or money. which one ? "

Money or Parents
" Jo, family or money. which one ? "

I know, the name behind this question is my father first name, Joan. But what exactly the meaning behind this.

Monday, I arrived in the village where i was left in 10 years ago. 9 am, i prepared myself to the obsequies. In quest room, my father was ready and wait for me.

9.45 am. we drive motorcycle to the location. Maybe spent fifteen minutes, and we arrived. I remembered the location very clear. Before we go through to inside, first we should pass through one big gate with dragon fretwork. The gates were the place where the forbidden place for kids.i still child that time, wait for my mother in processing to bury my grandma.

When entering an area, both of us totaly surprised. " where the people? " my father ask the only one who sit down in there.

" sory sir, what do you mean?"

" are there not any event today, I mean Mandy. You know, I received a messages that she would be bury today"

" Calm down sir, I knew mandy. of course the information was right but you come here to late. She has been buried 1 hour ago "

" Sir, I was be friend with mandy for 1 years ago. but you know, i am so sad. there no body come to the her obsequies. "

That time i can see angry shape in my father face. but he not doing anything emotional. My father just asked the guy who knew as tomb guard to show us the place where Mandy had been buried. Mandy jackson la gilbert, the word which add so beautiful by the tomb guard, Andi.

Andi told us anything. Mandy died because can't go out when her house be caught on fire. Everything happened so fast. At that afternoon Mandy is sleeping in her room. At Mandy house live her son and his wife, 2 grandson.

" And you know what her son and his wife doing?" said Andi in angry intonate.

" her son just be in hurry safe his property, furniture, game and money." , " they forgot his mom who still sleeping and can't move by herself because some disease. "

I don't know what type of disease which attacked Mandy in this 3 years ago. but the thing which got me in flame is the cause of Mandy died.

when fire off, Mandy body was found scorched. she got burned in life to died. when people found her body, Mandy was in floor, her gesture show something that mean: until the end of her life even though she knew the chance for safe is small, she keep attempt to protect her life.

I can saw anger in my father face. he said thank you to Andi, talk something to Mandy tome and decided to go home.

Tomorrow before we go back to the town, father and I go to see Mandy house that has been ruinous for the last time.

In the way, we not talk each other. I don't want to disturb, I know my father need time to calm down her emotion for everything that never expecting before.

I had knew for exactly what Mandy try to tell my father. " Jo, family or money. which one ? "

That nothing to do, what we can do is wait for judgement day for Mandy son, the day which God will ask about responsibilty, love, and what exactly the parents mean for. I thought Mandy was knew something terribly will be happen to her in the future.

And I just know, the people who sent us a message about Mandy died, is Mandy. I don't understand.

If we still have our parents. start from today, share your love. we just have only one parents in the world, don't ever want tobe like Mandy son.

in love
