Chapter 2: The decision
Chi Chi doesn't know how long she has crying in her father lap like that. She can felt her father tear rolling down to her shoulder; he was there when she made the phone and heard every single cruel word they said about her. She still can't believe that her husband teacher and friends could say something like that behind her back. How long have they talking behind her like that? So that is what they do in the gather, talking behind her back like that. And Gohan, he supposes to defend her, his mother and instead of that he joins with them laughing at her. Is she really look like that in every one eyes? A horrible bitch that making her sons and husband miserable. She thought that she did a good job in being a mother and a wife. She thought she was doing a good thing for her family but she was wrong. They hate her, they all hate her. Being a good mother and wife like her mother was her dream even when she was only a child. She thought that she was doing the best thing for her family but right now it's seem that all she did that making they suffer. And it's only making she cry even harder.
"So now you intend to cry like a whining baby in your father lap all day, do you?" A small voice echoes in her head
"What else can I do now? I am such a horrible person that only knows how to make other people miserable."
"But you are doing it with good intention" The voice continue to say "You are only want the best for them. Sometimes when you tried too hard, it gone backward. Maybe they are not appreciating about what you did for them or unaware of the sacrificed that you make for them but it didn't mean you are a horrible person. You just only push it too hard that all."
"But what else can I do now? I want to spend time with them, but after what they said to me I don't want any more. I don't know what I want or what I need. I 'm not sure about every thing":
"Maybe you should go somewhere else, some where that you can feel relaxed, some where that you can have a true vacation. You never have a vacation, don't you?"
"True, but I always think that a perfect vacation is having my husband and sons with me. If I go alone, it will lost all the meaning"
"You can go with your father; after all he is the only one who wants to spend time with you now."
"Where should I go now?" Chi Chi wonder then she saw an article on the newspaper with a picture of a beautiful hotel. She picks it up and read what write on it.

The words "holiday' and "quality time" keep ringing in her mind and make Chi Chi think "Maybe this is the place I need to be. I never have a true holiday or quality time with my father for a long time"
"Father, I want to go to Paradine hotel" Chi Chi said when she show her father the article
"Huh?" Her father said when he dries his tear by a huge handkerchief
"Father, I can't spend my last days sitting here and whining like a little baby. I want to enjoy my time, try thing that I never do before. And if you want to, you could go with me."
Ox King looked at the newspaper for a moment then he said: "Okay, I will go with you. But if you want to go there, you would have to hide your ki. You don't want anyone to find your place, right?"
"You are right" Chi Chi anxious said "It will be easy to locate my ki and I don't know how to hide my ki. Father what are you doing?" Chi Chi asks in surprise when she sees her father is looking for something in hí closet.
"Here it is" Ox king yell happily when he found a pair of silver ring
"What is it?" Chi Chi ask when she saw the object
"This is a ki restrain ring. It's aloud people who wear it hide their ki" The giant man said when he give Chi Chi the rings "But it's not only that. Legend said it's also a charm that can hide its owner from the magician eyes even include kami's"
"What is that mean?"
"It's mean that even Baba and Dende can't find you down when you wear that ring because the ring will stop them from tracking you down"
"Woah, that is amazing. How do you get this?"
"It's a treasure that passes in our family for a long time. Baba has came to our house many time since I were a kid to convince my grandfather, my father then me that give her the ring because we didn't need it. But of course we didn't give her. I know it will be useful someday." Her father smile "So when will we go?"
"Now" Chi Chi said as she put the ring in her slender finger
"Now?" Ox king ask worriedly "Isn't it too rush, Chi Chi?"
"No, it didn't rush. With our fastest car, we will arrive in no time if we go now. You should pack your stuff; I will be here waiting for you"
"Okay" her father said when he rush in his room. Chi Chi decided to write a note for her sons in her waiting time. After finish it, she saw her father standing in front of her with all their necessities.
"I'm done. Let's go" Her father said
"Okay" Chi Chi said then she heard the sound of the car engine and her father castle slowly disappear in her vision
