Her dad who is the captain of the team doesn't want to disappoint his daughter. He has promised his daughter the trophy though he is aware that opposite team is really strong and winning is not an easy task. His legs are letting him down; he is not able to play because of the leg pain, the only motivation is his daughter's wish! She has told him probably 100 times, papa you should win today. You have to take revenge for last year's defeat. I can’t see you loosing this time. Please Papa..do something...Her words ringing in his ears, he ignores the pain and jumps for the winning strike! That’s it! Team has won, his daughter is jumping with ecstasy as if she has conquered the world!...When his foot touches the ground he realises that he has badly hurt his leg. But it doesn’t matter to him because he has made his daughter happy. She comes running and throws herself into Papa’s arms.. and says... 'Papa Papa you have won! I am so happy’ being unaware of the fact that her dad has gone through so much pain just to see a smile on her face. This is not an international match where people fight for the expectation of millions of fans. Still this man fought to keep up his promise as if his daughter’s desire is no second to the anticipation of millions of fans.
PS: Thanks for giving me such a wonderful moment Papa :) (Yeah that little girl is me and the man is my dearest most best sweet fantastic Dad!).
Well done! Really well written story 'Intuit'.. 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' kinda stuff - simple and sweet! Reminded me of the stories that are published in the papers on Father's Day etc. Please dont mind me saying this, but, reading such stuff leaves you with a much better feeling than reading about loneliness, depression etc.. not sure if writing does the same.
ReplyDeleteI like reading ya writing about gloominess so can't promise that there will be 100% 'Chicken soup for the soul' kind.
ReplyDeleteBut, if at all, sincere reader of my blog says so..sure will try to post such articles more than depressing stuffs.
I dont mean to come in the way of creative freedom.. you should continue posting what you feel like.. the depressing stuff is fine as well.. I like reading stuff like this more than things that are kinda gloomy.
