- “This dress I’d love to have…. What do you say?” the daughter asked her dad at the Shop…. “If you like it very much, have it… But I wish you go for the other variety!” said the dad…. The daughter said “OK” and bought the other one….
- “I want to gift my friend with this item” said the daughter on another occasion…. “Ok! But why not check with her before buying?” the dad said….
- “Tomorrow is a very busy day at my Office…. I’ll not have time to go for my regular Lunch… Can you pack something for me?” asked the daughter…. “Yes!” said the dad and gave her the Lunch…. It was tasteless and the daughter ate it with an indignation on her face….
- “Tomorrow I have to go early to my Office…. Wake me up at…..” said the daughter…. “OK!" said the dad but woke her up 15 minutes late…. She had to rush thru' the rituals, hired a Private Transport and reached office in time….
- “This is the boy I’d like have as my Lifetime Companion....” said the daughter introducing her Colleague friend to her dad…. The dad was silent immediately but after a week said, “Right Choice… We will go ahead with this alliance!” “Thank God! I was thinking where you would say no here too!” said the daughter at the back of a great relief....
The dad smiled and said, “No Dear! All these days I wished very much to tick your like only and help you there one hundred percent.... But in all those earlier instances which I would never forget, I could not see much good for you in going ahead and ticking your like….
- In the first instance, I wanted to save sizable finances for you and create a good habit of controlled spending in you....
- In the second instance, I wanted you to appreciate the idea of caring for the feelings of others instead of always firming up on your own....
- In the third instance, left to me I could never think of giving you anything other than the healthiest food which naturally lacks the taste as the unwanted materials are very much removed....
- In the fourth instance I was very much interested to see that you go to Office in time but seeing your tired face due to lack of proper sleep in the earlier nights, I firmed up to help you sleep a little extra as I knew that you would hire a faster Transport to reach your Office in time....
- And the last one, which forever is an important selection in one's life where in our welfare and safety are involved, luckily you selected the Right Personality as I could foresee that thru my own assessment and indirect checks and that's why here I straightaway gave you a big OK!"
The daughter was in all tears….
The dad comforted her and said, “Dear! At no time a Dad’s Love for her daughter can think of anything less than the highest GOOD, GOOD and GOOD alone…. Still in all the earlier situations, I just mentioned only the alternatives to you leaving the ultimate choice for you only.... And everywhere you listened to what I said; that's really great for me…. God Bless you!"
Its poignant and true ... a dad or a parent does all for the good for their child .. Beautifully written piece sir.
