My Dad

It was not a happy new year 2016 for me. My father’s tragic demise had broken me down. It was just the most unbelievable incident of my life. It occurred on 25^th Dec 15. I don’t want to get in to the depth of that shocking incident.

It sends a chill down my spine when I even memorize that incident one bit. One thing was clear from that day that life’s funny. It is unpredictable and unimaginable. It is cruel, too. But somehow I need to cope with it. There were some really beautiful thoughts, quotes and lines and ambitions written in my father’s diaries. He used to write everything in his diaries including every work he had to do that corresponding day. He was the perfect dad, perfect husband and perfect son. But without any hesitation that day he was called upon by God. He didn’t have any illness or disease. He was living a normal healthy life and suddenly one day this happens.

We are left stunned as to how did this happen. Why only us? I am just aged 18. I have just crossed teenage last Nov and entered adulthood. He had so many ambitions and goals in his life. His salary was perhaps too low for that. But somehow he always managed. He said to my Mom that he would buy her a new vehicle the coming Feb (on her birthday) but that never came. My Mom says to me now ‘you don’t have to be like your father always too good in everything.’

She hardly witnessed him being angry. He used to drive a vehicle so well. He never drank or smoked (perhaps occasionally). He never said NO to anyone. He cheerfully enjoyed his life and worked hard tirelessly for me and my brother (younger). He had good relations with my Mom, my grandma and my grandpa.

But a stroke of misfortune just ruined my family’s life. It will take time before the scars heal. I am left with 4 years of my B. Tech. engineering course before I can get into any full-time job. I want to fulfill every ambition my Dad had.

But his biggest dream was me. He wanted his son to earn on his own, to earn big, and to become the best in his life and for his family. And, ya Dad, I will become the hero of yours because HEY DAD you will always be my hero forever.

p.s. Dedicated heartily to my Dad (the best dad in the world).
