Hello Kitty awakens during the night to find her husband was not
in bed. She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him.
She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in
front of him. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the
wall.
She watches as he wiped a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his
coffee.
"What's the matter, dear?", she whispers as she steps into the
room.
"Why are you down here at this time of the night?".
Ah lau looks up from his coffee, "Do you remember 20 years ago when
we were dating, and you were only 16?" he asks solemnly.
"Yes, I do" she replies.
Ah lau paused. The words were not coming easily. "Do you remember
when your father caught us in the back seat of my car making
love?".
"Yes, I remember," said the wife, lowering herself into a chair
beside him.
Ah lau continued. "Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my
face and said, "Either you marry my daughter, or i'll send you to
jail for 20 years?"
"I remember that too" she replied softly. He wiped another tear
from his cheek and said,
"I would have been released today."
