A Contract With The Devil

Chapter 1: The Genesis I nearly sent my mother to her grave during her labour. Child birth was so difficult for her but she managed to bring me to this earth to face the world, my destiny and persue my goals as an individual. Per my observations made from movies and telenovelas, for some couple either the male will be standing outside praying while walking to and fro in front of the ward or will be allowed inside if requested by his wife. But this was a different situation. My father was not there either hold me and welcome me to this world with a smile or even tears of joy. As soon as I got into th hands of the doctor with a cry, the doctor, Dr. Wilson told my mother to keep a keen eye on me because of what life had installed for me. He said I would become a great person. He said this with a pitiful look, no one noticed. Doctor!Doctor! my child, my child is....... She said in a weak voice. "Yes, it's a girl." Said the doctor. I wonder how the doctor knew what my mother was about to say because I thought my mother was about to ask weather I was alive. "Oh! my daughter." She cried and her first daughter as well. But where was my father. Well my mother was crying because I was her child and her first daughter as well. But where was my father. They say speak of the devil and the devil appear but in this case it was my father and not he devil. Ring ring ....... My father answers the call. "Hello, hello please who is this?" my father asks. Please is this Mr. Cheng? Yes,yes I'm Mr. Cheng. Mr Cheng please come to the Seoul National University Hospital right now. Mrs. Cheng is in labour and has been admitted there. Okay I will be there in a jiffy, thank you for informing me. Please wait, how is she? But it was too late Ms Moria was gone long ago. Damn it! Lin Hao the keys. S-s-s-sir p-p-p-please w-w-which...... before he was done halfway done speaking, Mr. Cheng had already gone for the car keys and was about to start his engine. Which one. When he finally completed his sentence, Mr. Cheng was already gone. Meanwhile the child was left alone in the room she was refered to after having her baby. Darling mama will soon be back, okay? My mother bud me bye for a while. Just for some few seconds since the mother left room, the room was gradually becoming cold, the voltage of the lights were coming down, dimming bit by bit. All of a sudden, a chilly wind from nowhere surrounded the baby. The baby came with something looking like a person.The baby was very happy at first but all of a sudden the thing was now hovering on the baby and the baby started wailing. Just in a matter of seconds getting close close to a minute, the mother ran into the room and carried the crying baby into her arms...... As soon as he got to the hospital he entered the Out Patient Department (OPD). Nurse!Nurse! I'm Mr. Cheng and my wife is here please direct me there. "Oh! Mrs. Cheng", said the nurse. Yes that's my my wife. Okay, then, please go straight and turn left. Thank you very much. My dad said. Bang! the door was widely opened and there he was. My dad was finally there. Hah! he let out a loud sigh just as he saw me in.my mother's arms crying. It was really a beautiful sight he beheld. Just as he entered my mother opened her arms for him for a hug but as he got near, her earned a pinch. Awwwwww! what was that for?Hmmm, she sighed. Let me guess why? Oh! yeah, it was for not being there when I was in labour and making me go through all the pain alone. Hmmm, my father sighed. Well that's quite understandable. But you have to understand this one too. Understand what? Asked my mother. I was at a meeting. You know since we are in this big company, and as a CEO, I must handle some more Important meetings, and also I have been postponing this meeting for two solid weeks now so I couldn't push t further anymore.And if I knew you would give birth today, I would have postponed it again. Well,I didn't need this long speech for my question, Mr. CEO. Silly boy. She said with undertone. When my father heard this, he raised one eyebrow and asked. " Errrrmdid you just call me silly boy?" "Yeah, and is there any problem with that?" said my mother. " Errrhhh no but..." but what Mr. CEO? asked my mom. I..I just need a repetition. Errrhhh, so you like it when I say that mmm. " Ummm yeah." said my dad. Then I think I just got a reputable job. So what do you think Mr. CEO. You pay for that mmm. " Yeah anything you want my dear?" he said. "So, when did they say you will be discharged?" 'Well I think tomorrow.' she answered. " Hmm okay. I will be back in a jiffy." he said. Okay honey replied my mother. As soon as he heard her last word word, he turned back and watched her. He raised one eyebrow and asked, " where did you learn that?" My mother stretched out her hand and held her neck as if in pain, she rubbed it coyly. As she was doing this her face turned crimson or was she blushing? Or was it because she feared if she told my dad he will tease her with it? Well my father was a person who really loved to tease other people very well. But this time my mother won the match. As soon as my mother did this gesture, my father came running to her from door since he was about to get out. Darling, what's wrong? Are you okay? Should I get a he doctor for you? "Yeah I think I felt some pain in my neck." She answered.Okay I will be right back. Hah! my mother sighed in relief as she was able to dodge his question by her guesture.......
