McDull: Me & My Mum Page #5

"What little we make we lose in betting"

"But let us all be happy now"

"When the sky falls we say, Wow."

"Let us be happy and raise our cups,"

"Bottoms up!"

"Bottoms up!"

That night.

I suddenly got a call from Chief.

Dull, where are you?

Earlier, your mom, she...

Come right back!

Question, what happened earlier?

Detective, I know!

Poo poo!

Not poo poo.

I know! Crippled!

Not crippled!

Did she... go to space again?

Right, to space.

After you left, your mom

worked even harder.

So hard

It was like she was bearing

you on her back unremittingly.

Business was alright

until two months ago when the rain came...

It rained nonstop for over a month.

Mom, it looks like we're a dead snake.

And then nobody won the

first prize of the Mark 6

for ten draws...

All of us were jobless and got red-eyed...

So everybody just bet every cent they had.

We're in for the killing! Yeah! Kill!

Of course gambling is a matter of luck.

But it was freaky that

For the six tickets we bought

The 36 numbers chosen by your mom

not even one number was drawn

All we need was another ticket, right?

No way! Over my dead body!

On that day, mom was sent to Space Centre.

She went into space before I got home.

Aiya!

Then I left. And walked on, and on.

I just walked on, without a destination.

I arrived at places

That mom and me pretended to visit.

Arriving at the real thing

I didn't think it mattered that much

I took the road for one?

Two? Or three years?

Until one day I arrived

at the End of the World.

I was faced with the ocean, and then

All of a sudden...

I really wanted to have a

bowl of noodle, really.

So I turned around

Mom

Cut your loss and we all go home.

It's my mom.

One day, I happened to

arrive at Chopin's old home.

I stood at the piano that

Chopin once played...

Suddenly, I really wanted to play a tune.

I dropped my first tear on that day...

Since the day mom went into space.

I said it was my talent

to muddle things up...

But after that day

For some reason...

The puzzle began to fall into place.

I started to work hard

on gaining my knowledge.

I specialized in Middle Ages

European Langauge and Symbology.

Based on some ancient

literature and hidden symbols...

I cracked a murder case

that had troubled historians

for few hundred years

My thesis, published by a

periodical few people read...

Drew attention from

specialists at Scotland Yard.

It was like that I became a detective.

My name is Mak, Bobby Mak!

I love this job

I love seeing myself capable.

Every time I feel I am clever...

Every time I feel smart...

Every time I feel brave...

I feel mom is truly there

Right beside me.

The mystery is now solved.

Confronting fate, mom

lost all she had to lose.

Confronting fate, mom

won all she could win.

What she won she left with me,

and keep her loss to herself.

Hence Detective Bobby was born.

Stop crying, go find your pop.

Pop, don't go into space.

Sonny, it's you?

Love your pop more, don't be like me.

Fen

Wait, Detective!

One more thing I want to know!

"I have never left. I just moved to live

in the heart of the one who loves me."

As the saying goes, we

all walk our melancholy way.

Single parent is a very common thing today

But certain question still

needs to be answered

Mom, where has pop gone?

When asked such question on a foul day...

lam prompt to answer...

The a**hole is dead!

But that seems a bit vulgar

and ungenerous...

So, we can touch up and say...

The dumb-ass passed away.

Or...

The dumb-ass kicked the bucket.

Or, to put it mildly...

The a**hole is in horizontal bliss.

A positive way of saying it...

The SOB is gone.

Or, we can say...

The a**hole got himself a no return ticket.

A more simple way to put it would be...

Your awful pop is now six feet under

Simplified as...

He's six feet under.

A more sentimental way would be...

The badass is blowing in the wind.

Thank you

Mom, where has pop gone?

The a**hole is dead.

Thank you for watching.
