Desperate Uncle

Destination Still Waits

Dan Li
My uncle was a very diligent boy. Also, he found a pretty good job, which supposed to make him rich and happy. However, I have to say that he is actually a poor guy!

He married a beautiful woman who happened to be his classmate. Notwithstanding, life is as unpredictable as the weather. My uncle's happy days didn't last long. Two years later, out of a clear day, after my cousin's birth, his lovely wife died of cancer.

So, he took a bad shock for it. What's more, no one could take good care of my poor little cousin since he only cried for his mom at the time. Consequently, the family was starting to disintegrate. Who would give help when it was most needed?

There is a good saying (Mountains multiply, streams double back-he doubts there's even a road; Willows cluster darkly, blossoms shine-another village ahead). Their savior, my cousin's aunt who was my uncle-in-law's sister went far away from her hometown so as to take care of my little cousin.

Maybe she looked like my cousin's mom, or maybe she was so conversable. It was really worth cheering that my cousin became obedient. Day after day, my uncle was touched by her kindness so deeply that he had fallen in love with her whose health happened to be in evil case just like her sister. Come what may, my uncle still wanted to get married with her. Something, whereas, would not go to the effort that was required. All his sisters and my grandparents were strongly against the marriage. They said that they would break off with him if he did it though they actually knew they would hurt my uncle and his son by doing so. However, if they didn't do this, they were afraid that she might die young for the poor health too, leaving my uncle in the abyss of despair. They feared...that marriage may not have worked so much!

It is sad that no one was backing him up. Thus he didn't even have a choice but broke up with her. Later, He married another woman who was beautiful as well as healthy while she married a very rich man is in another big city. Notwithstanding, everyone knew that both of them were not really happy. From then on, he drank away his life and threw his fortune to the dogs.

They wished him good luck. But the unexpected things happened. What a pity!

My mom told me it is a sad story, for which all any of them regretted. On the other hand, if he had taken a decision, to marry the lady, with whom his son was moving well. At least, it would have make him happy... If he has been happy...Everything will be fine later.

Anyway, he should face the trials that came into his life and stay strong. I just hope he would realize that life must go on no matter what happened. Losing someone he loves doesn't mean the end of the world. He has still a son that could give him strength and courage. Life doesn't mean to work like that way since destination still waits...
