Unexpected question

DURING  our CNY holiday back home, my wife tried to persuade her daughter to be clever while we are staying for a short period and she looks listening to mum's request. As we need to find a car in Yangon, my eldest sister sent our daughter to Yangon so that we could find a suitable care without needy for rush. My sister return for work and left our daughter. Our daughter has no choice but to stay with parent until we return home. During together time, my wife used to say her daughter how many day left to stay together before we return work abroad. Within couple week time, there are a lot of things in schedule and we are so tired by traveling around the country.

The closer end to holiday, my wife tried to talk our daughter whatever she likes to teach her. As time ticking fast, my wife never satisfy to teach our daughter as much as possible. The little daughter is now 3.5 years old and able to speak mother language fluently. It make our bond even stronger and make us hard to leave her alone this time. Unfortunately, she doesn't love to stay with us because we issued so many do and don't to follow. She can play and can eat what she wants when she stay with her nanny old couple. She can even teach an old couple in something rather than learning from her. For instance, she knows how to use tablet better than an old couple. 

The day has come to leave hometown for Yangon and my wife said our daughter that Dad and Mum are going back today and you try not to be troublesome today and others when we return to work. The little girl silents and say understood. At the dark come on evening and we yet to leave home because the bus will leave only at 8:30pm. The little girl wonder why we are not going back though mother said we'll be going today. At one point, she asked her mum for not still going for bus. My wife suffer from unexpected question and replied her, yes we won't go back and will stay with you forever. The little girl yell at mum and say, no you have to go. What a sad occasion between a mum & a daughter is it? 

People thought we are lucky for able to work and save a lot of money abroad. Reality is that there are something that cannot be held we are paying back for money. Nobody aware that but parent. My wife became more determined person to return home as quickly as possible. My resistance on her push has been swayed by time and it is going to happen us sooner than later. Oh little girl, are you not loving us for leaving you alone there for long time? You are our hope and future that won't change forever. Your Dad and Mum are trying to come back sooner than later for our family life and I won't allow to apart any more in life.
