508's Secret English Garden

        周怡萱

My most memorable event happened when I was twelve.That year Mother was pregnant. The moment when I heard the news, I was shocked and wondered – will Mother and Father not love me anymore？ I was afraid and didn’t know how to tell my parents my worries. So I became to hate the baby who wasn't even born yet. I seldom talked to my parents and got angry at trifles.

        One night Mother couldn’t handle my anger anymore. We had a serious quarrel. I was so sad that Mother didn’t understand me, and then I ran out of the house to a park near by house. It was a really dark place with many homeless people. I felt helpless and hid myself in a bush. When I saw my parents cars circling around, I still didn’t go out of the bush.

       After about an hour, I couldn’t stand it anymore because I missed them so much and it was so cold. When Mother’s car passed the bush, I ran out and shouted, “Mother, I’m here.” Suddenly, the car stopped. Mother got out of her car. I thought she was going to punish me, but I didn’t care. All I wanted was going back to her. To my surprise, she didn’t hit me or scold me. She just hugged me tightly .

        After that night, I realized how stupid I am to doubt my parents’ love.
