OS- Aashi’s Papa

Dear Papa…

This is your lovely daughter, Aashi Arnav Singh Raizada. You must be wondering Why I’m addressing myself with your name as my surname. Papa, Though I married, even If I give birth to your Grandchildren, Even If you Grandchildren get married, even If I turn the age where my teeth fall, I will always be your daughter, No matter what happens papa. You know what.. I love calling myself as ASR’s daughter, not because of your face, but because I know you love me more than anything in this world. I still remember mom saying, you raised your hand for the first time at her for me, only because I was crying, mom was busy in Kitchen making food not hearing my voice. Dad, you know when and why mom told this to me.. When I was angry at me, for coming late to my school annual day function. I’m sorry dad, that day I shouted at you saying you don’t love me. I know you were so hurt then. Mama can’t see you in pain so she said to me this.

Papa, the favourite timepass of me and mama is speaking about you only. She always tell me about, how you cried in pain when she gave birth to me, how you were so happy when i spoke my first word; that was papa, how you were so afraid when i started walking thinking i will fall down. Dad, Not only my first word is about you, but my first step in my life was also about you only. I still remember when I analysed and searched for you in my future husband’s traits. I wanted a husband like you who will love his wife as his life, who will love his daughter as his mother. I really wanna give birth to girl child, because I wanna relive my childhood again in her life.

Mama said you made a big fuss when I started going to school. Dad, you can’t be serious… You were harvard graduate, you almost lived your life away from house before I born, but you made a fuss in joining me to school. You are my inspiration. Even though I behave like mom at times, I love imitating you. You are my role model. I wanna be like you. You guided me throughout my life, from my education, career till my love. Still I remember you hired almost 6 PI for character verification of the boy when I said you I’m in love. But I love you attention, you whole attention only on me. I always feel special when you look at me. On the day of my marriage, I can’t believe the great ASR cried. I don;t want you to cry for anything dad. You the best, you are my dad. My dad will never cry for anything. I will always be your daughter. This is the first father’s day that I’m celebrating without you, because I’m in my honeymoon. You all literally pushed me to go for this damn honeymoon, when I wanted to be with my dad. But don’t worry, we will have a blast when I come after a week. Pakka promise. I love you dad. I will always.

Your Lovely Daughter,

Aashi Arnav Singh Raizada

Arnav was in tears after reading her daughter’s mail. He was so sad from the morning for not able to see his daughter’s face and also see her smile, which always resembles his maa.

Arnav’s thought, ‘I miss you Aashu…. I miss you soo much….. Wish I can see you now’ Arnav said it out loud, when he heard a voice..

“Your Wish, My command Dad”

Arnav turned, only to see his daughter standing there with a smile playing on her lips, with a drop of tears in her eyes.

“Aashi” Arnav whispered..

Aashi ran towards him and hugged him tightly saying, “How can I not come on Father’s day?. It’s the most special for me and my dad. I love you dad. Happy father’s day”

Arnav tighten the hug and said “I love you too Aashi”

A lone drop of tear fell down from his eyes, he looked up to find his wife, Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada, smiling at them.

He whispered, “Thank you Khushi.. For the best gift of my life”

THE END.
