One day,
We will meet.
I know what will you say,
And I will let you complete.
In return whatever, I have to pay,
I will never let anyone get your seat.
Maybe again, you will come in my way?
And for that I have to sleep.
The Father-Daughter bond is always amazing and unbreakable, filled with laughter, shared dreams, and endless love. However, fate has always some other plans, as when fathers unexpectedly passes away, leaving their daughters with a void in their heart.
My bond with my father was not that strong on everyone's face. But by heart, it was very strong. When I was a child, I was not attached to him, the way daughters are always attached to their fathers. But when he passed, all the memories and all the wishes, regarding having a father began to explode in heart.
When he passed away, I did not know how to react on that, as it was a sudden death. I was convinced that, we all belong to Allah and one day we all have to reached that place. But as the day passed, I was feeling his absence alot. Whenever, I saw my friends and cousins with their father, I began to feel that void. As the days turned into weeks, and the weeks into months, I found peace in my father's memories. I sat by my window, gazing at the star-filled sky, imagining my father among those twinkling stars, watching over me.
My school ended and I began to prepare myself for the college. One evening, lost in my thoughts, I picked up a pen, that he gifted me once and began to write a letter to my beloved father.
"Dearest Dad," I began, my words flowing freely onto the paper. "Not a day goes by without me thinking of you. Your absence is deeply felt, but the lessons you taught me continue to guide me through life's journey. Hold my hand, dear father, as I am starting this new journey without you physically by my side."
I poured my heart out onto the pages, sharing her struggles, failures, and the challenges I faced. I recalled the memories we shared together, present within her soul. With each word I wrote, I could almost hear my father's reassuring voice, encouraging me to be strong and never lose hope.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months, and my letters piled higher and higher. It became my daily routine to wrote him a letter at night after everything,what I felt, what I passed, what I failed, about friends, my anger, the things I could not buy and the things I I could do for the needy ones, everything. They became my safe place, a place where I could speak openly, knowing my father would hear me. I wrote about my dreams, my commitments to myself and others, and the lessons I had learned from his absence.
Years passed, and the little girl eventually grew into a remarkable young woman. Despite the heartache I carried, I never stopped believing that one day I would be reunited with my beloved father. And then, as life so often surprises us, that day finally arrived.
On a warm summer evening, as I was walking through a garden filled with vibrant blossoms, a gentle breeze carried a familiar sense of love. I turned around and saw a figure standing in the distance. As our eyes met, tears of joy streamed down my face. It was my father, standing right before me.
In that beautiful moment, I realized that my countless letters had reached beyond the stars, transforming the boundaries between life and death.
He was wearing a white kameez shalwar. His mustache was as black as always. His smile was less on his smile more in his eyes. We embraced. My father spoke softly, his voice full of love and pride, assuring me that he had been with me all along, protecting and guiding me. He put his hand on my head and placed a soft kiss on my forehead and faded away....
My eyes got open and I found myself on a table having pen in my hand and my head on a letter, I was writing to him. I never saw him in my dreams ever, from the day he died. But now, I saw him proud and happy, half of my burden was removed from my shoulders.
From that day forward, I embarked on a journey of living out the dreams I had shared with my father. Though we were physically apart, the bond between us will remain unbreakable, and I will carry my father's love in my heart forever.
Thank You!
