Notes｜On the way to dinner

Towards evening, you told me to go with you to that lo-mei stall, saying that you wanted to add more dishes for dinner,

It should be to make me re-familiar with the feeling of "forgotten" because I haven't driven for a long time (?), whenever I need to drive back to my hometown,

You always ask me to be the driver in a polite manner, and you step back to the position of the co-pilot, and I naturally won't (can't) refuse;

The two of them were in the carriage. I, who was holding the steering wheel, and you, who crossed my hands on my chest, all looked forward, silent as usual,

I just meditated. After turning the corner at the intersection, I would turn away from the radio station to buffer the indescribable subtle atmosphere;

"It's good to drive 60-70 speed on this road, there are often speed cameras", "There is a speed bump in front, I said several times not to drive so fast",

Listening silently, occasionally nodding to indicate, "uh", "oh", "ok", and just like this murmured reply,

Those words such as "Can the driver decide how to drive?" have long been chosen to be kept in their hearts and not to be said.

"Even after taking the medicine, I still feel a dull pain in this area..",

Rarely, you suddenly take the initiative to report your physical condition,

"Taking medicine is just an aid, the important thing is to return to the strengthening of physical functions, exercise more..., stepper should be stepped on when you buy it",

As if I had an opportunity, I also took the opportunity to talk to you a few words, but seeing that you didn't say anything, I don't know if I heard it or not;

I remember the year after graduating from high school, you drove me in a car and drove a long way to a college in a neighboring city.

Looking for the opportunity to further study, "I don't know much about studying, that's all I can do...",

I vaguely remember that you seemed to have said this in the car at that time;

More than ten years have passed, and now I am driving a car and taking you to buy dinner, and suddenly I feel,

Maybe in the future, I will play this scene repeatedly in my mind,

The road ahead illuminated by the setting sun, the unknown song playing on the radio station, sitting next to you.

 "...In my life, when love comes, I will fall in love. When I meet children, I become a mother to love them. When I realize that my parents are old, I will choose to move back to my hometown to accompany them. ...enjoy the life experience at every stage"
