A Wish Came True

Dad came home late and revealed a news that was going to change my life forever.

As we sat and ate our dinner, dad brought up a topic that came as a surprise for both mom and me.

Dad was being promoted at his work but he needed to move to another state entirely for it.

"Honey, if it isn't that big of a promotion, can't we turn down the offer?" Mom asked dad.

"Well I would have done that on the spot if that was the case but it isn't. It raises my pay by three-fold and the work conditions are also much better. That's why I decided to first consult you about it and then make a decision". Said my dad.

Hey, I'm not involved in the conversation but it's a yes from my side dad, take it!

"But Lin will also have to change school if we're going to move that far. It will impact his studies and not to mention the fact that we have to look for housing there too." said mom.

"Don't worry about that, my boss said we don't have to look for a house. If I take the promotion, I'm also getting a house the same size as ours but we need to clean it ourselves and make some renovations. It isn't too shabby but time has done some work on it. We don't have to worry about Lin too, his grades are excellent, once we settle in, everything would be back to normal." my dad replied.

I'm dying here mom, just agree to it.

It has been a while since I've been this pumped up about a topic at the dinner table.

Please just say yes mom.

"Lin, are you fine with this?Won't it be hard on you since you'll have to leave your friends behind too?" asked my mom.

"It'll be okay mom. I haven't seen dad this serious once so I think this promotion means a lot to him. I'll make new friends there too so let dad take the promotion mom." I replied.

As they continued to discuss how they'll start the moving process, I finished my food and went up to my room with a smile that's probably bigger than a sliced melon.

I feel as if I've used up all of the luck I had on that wish but I don't think it matters because right now I'm as happy as I could be.

Mom asked me to start packing all my stuff up on cardboard boxes and so I did. Meanwhile mom and dad prepared my transfer which went smoothly or so they said.

"Lin, we're going to move on Saturday so you better finish up packing your stuff." said my mom.

"Don't worry, I'm done with it. I'm all prepared mom." I replied.

Saturday arrived within the blink of an eye...I'm kind of stretching it but I don't think I care enough.

"Lin, are you ready to see our new home?" asked mom.

I'm not ready for this. All these years all I've been waiting for was this and it's finally happening.

"Yes mom, wherever we go as long as mom and dad are with me I'll be happy." I replied.

Dad casually starts driving and says that it'll probably take a day and a half to reach there.

It'll be a long ride but the new beginning that's waiting for me there, I can't wait for it.

I'll have to make the most of what I'll be presented with this time around so I really hope I don't mess it up this time.
