Silence is no more
awkward.
Thoughts are no more
hazy.
Vision is no more a
blur.
Now that, she has him
beside her.
Soft evening
breeze, envelopes them around. Warm rays of setting sun touch them gently, as
it bids them good-bye for the day…slowly. They stare at the reddish-orange sky;
with her hair swaying across her face and his hands dangling casually at the
back of the park bench on which they’re sitting.
She turned to
him and he was still staring at the sky…entirely relaxed and his eyes look
calm. She rarely saw him relaxed. If she had ever seen him in peace…it had
always been the calm-before storm kind of peace.

She knows
what he had been through.
His shoulders
– strong enough to carry his whole lot of family. It would be really tough to
have several siblings along with the poverty touch. If you’re the elder one, it
is even tougher. And he never complained for that toughness of life. He just got
on with, what he had. He never got anything for himself – except for the
Education, which helped him feed his entire family. But the cruelty of life is
that, the family – he worked his life out for – betrayed him. What they cared
for, is just ‘Money’.
It took him
really a long time to come out and make a new family for himself. And, there
she was! Staring at his father in the yellow glow of the sky. The man who she will
call ‘Hero’ for her entire life without thinking twice. The man who never shed
tears…in front of anyone. The man who holds his pride before the world. And the
man who would only lean before her…just to make her smile. The man who would
battle her nightmares and demons away. The man who would listen her for his
entire life. The man who can make her smile – no matter what.

He turned and
winked at her, as if nothing matters. Like, nothing else matters in this whole
world, except her smile. She smiled.
And, the
moment is complete with their love binding them together…no matter what.
I dedicate it to...who else?!...the World's-Best-Father (He can be yours too. And, I'm not gonna argue with that!).
And, Yes! A very Happy Father's Day!
