Mybo, this is a bad character sketch of your father, but it was written by your mother and the other brothers believes it reveals more about her than she expected. We think you are old enough to read it. He even has your first name.
She sits on a chair on top of a plush carpet, staring at a painting above a decorative fireplace. In walks a young monk. He says "You must be the next Buddha, he like this room as a young monk.” She smiles at this, but replies, "Was this carpet, chair or even this pictures here then?" He shakes his head no. "I like the carpet, too."
"What is that?" she asks.
"Oh, it's a picture book, of when we've taken the people who need it most over seas."
She starts flipping though the book, but stops at a page. She picks up the pictures of a young man and reads the back. 'Mybo, 1982, Great Wall of China'. She lifts shows the picture and asks "Does he have a last name?"
The monk shakes his head in disapproval at the question.
"No, I mean, he must have a last name. I was just wondering if you knew it."
"Yes, it is....
'Hey, he even has my last name.’
‘Yes, Mybo, it was a fiction story she was trying to write.'
"I know him. Well, it makes sense, he had kidney stones and has been through a divorce."
"You know him! We have lost contact with him. Please share."
"Here, this is the work address, but I did not share this with you." She gives him a piece of paper with writing on it.
Next Monday morning, the workday is starting. The girl is hidden behind her desk at work.
"Thomas" is heard shouted from a corner office. "I have received a letter. It is from my brother!"
'Dear Mybo,
I have missed you. We have lost contact over the years, and that has saddened me. I am told that you are now divorce and even been through pain. I never thought you should have left, but now you can come back. I would love to see you again. Please.
Your Brother,
Monk Joe'
"He wants to see me."
"Well, you should let him.” Thomas "He is family".
"Fine, I will see him, but...maybe I will let him visit here. I..., I just don't want to go back".
