$100

My friend and I went out with my father today, it was quite a strange feeling because us father and son rarely go out together. We went to a aquamarine exhibition, where they showcase many winner fishes, from fishes with a big lump on top of their head to fishes with scales as big as my thumb. My father paid the entry ticket for three of us, I was quite amazed at how generous he acted. He also treated me and my friend each a canned drink during lunch time. So, after a short tour at the fish exhibition, we went to the electronic one next door. My father was quite lost at the site saying that he didn't understand most of the stuff being sold there. Before we left, I bought a desktop speaker and my friend bought a earpiece that was 8 times more expensive than what I bought. We parted at the train station, my friend on himself and my father and I were taking different route home.

We reached out place's area one hour later, we also stopped at a supermarket near my place to buy dinner.
Then I received a text message, it was from my mother. She asked me to pass my father $100.

I knew it.

My father has always been like that. He didn't even have enough for himself and still spent money because he didn't want to lose face in front of others. Part of the reason why my family ended up in this situation is probably because of this bad habit of his.
Feeling disappointed, I passed him the money. Of course, while concealing my feeling towards him again.
