Chanthaly Page #3

---

I don't want to impose, sir.

You're not imposing. I'll have

Chanthaly prepare dinner.

Go on, then...

Chill some beer, too.

Chanthaly's mother was also very stubborn.

She wasn't easy to take care of...

I knew that my wife's heart was weak,

before she became pregnant.

But what could we do?

And she was so stubborn

about having the baby...

She was in bed for months.

And then Chanthaly came four weeks early.

That's why she's skinny as a street cat.

In the end, it was just too much.

My wife gave birth to my daughter,

and her heart gave out.

For just one minute, I had

both my daughter and wife.

Just one minute.

I'm sorry.

It's been more than twenty years.

So when your daughter says

she's seeing her mother...

Impossible.

Her mother didn't even live

long enough to hold her.

Chanthaly wouldn't have even seen her face.

I think we should switch her pills.

It ought to help her improve.

Everything looks delicious.

I hope you enjoy it.

Mom? I'm so lonely. I have

no one to confide in.

I want to see you.

If you're really there,

please show yourself to me.

What are you doing out here?

I'm talking to you. Don't

walk away without answering.

I'm so sick of this sh*t!

You never had a mother.

You just had me.

I remember things about her.

No! You don't remember!

I knew her.

She was my wife.

If anybody would want her back...

It would be me.

Lock the gate.

Don't worry.

The lights are off already.

So who was that guy your

father brought to dinner?

Is that what you came to ask me?

Is your dad trying to get you married?

Thanks for closing the gate, Thong.

Sorry. I...

Do you think I'm crazy?

Well, you're kind of strange.

I just thought it's

because you never go out.

What wife told you I saw my mom?

What would you say?

Like a ghost?

Yeah.

Did she say anything to you?

I think she's trying to.

Is that your new doctor?

Chanthaly!

I guess... My father says so.

I know you said you

didn't want these pills.

I still don't.

Wait.

My mother was superstitious, too.

I never connected with

the supernatural or...

Or what?

When you told me that you

were seeing your mother,

I shouldn't have treated it like a symptom.

I'm sorry.

I brought you these pills.

They won't cause hallucination.

If you're really seeing your mother,

it won't matter, will it?

The pills don't stop ghosts.

But they're better pills.

They'll help you.

One in the morning, one at night.

And don't take your old pills anymore.

Can I come back to check on you?

Here's Chanthaly's

medication for the month.

Thanks.

- Two bills like always?

- Yes. Thank you, sir.

Will I get to see her today?

You've been coming by for a month.

There are days she wants to
