I always thought that my dad is the family man type, which means he won't express his feelings openly but show it in his actions. My mum is different because whenever we talk on phone, we will tell each other that we love each other.
Then, came one incident that change my thought about my dad.
It was Sunday the previous week when I came back college. Being known for blurness, it did not cross my mind the whole time that I have forgotten to bring my file back. You get what I mean if you are in the same college as I am. It's the green file. Ok. back to the story. When I wanted to start revising, I realised that I don't have my file with me. I freaked out, literally!! I was screaming OMG all the time that Veena thought it was something really important. Well, it is for me. My timetable, my notes and even my trial bio practical is in there. Then, without thinking, I hit call on my phone and called my mum.. She didn't pick up which makes me even anxious. Then, I called my dad. He picked up and asked me what's wrong since I just went back.
I told him the whole story and I expected a lecture from him. Yet, he just said he will bring it tomorrow and tell me not to be so careless next time. The minute I put down my phone, I begin to feel guilty and starting to think how far my dad needs to travel just to bring a file. Tears start gushing down and I feel really bad..
The next day evening, he came and it makes me even more guilty. After travelling for about 45 minutes from work, he went down the car with a smile and pat me on the shoulder. I said thank you and he just said ok. Then he went. My eyes were fixed on his car until I can't see him anymore. I felt really bad and so I texted him, saying that I love him. Then he replied, "me too!" I swear that I am gonna cry the very next minute but I hold back my tears.
I've learned that it's not that my dad doesn't express his feeling openly but it's just that we never make an attempt to do so. This incident also tells me how much my dad loves us and how far will he go to make sure we have what we need.
SO, DADDY... I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!
