It was the time after the last lecture on thursday, Anagha had left instantly down after the lecture… It was unusual as she never used to do, she always used to talk with a few friends for a while after the lectures, used to check mails and leave for her hostel room… While all students were leaving for home, Amol saw that Anagha was sitting out under the coconut tree, she was talking on phone and may be she had cried as her nose was looking red… Passing through he told nishant to go ahead, he will catch them at station..
“Anaghaaa!! Some problem??” Amol asked. He saw minal was not there with her..
“Papa is not well amol….” She started crying again…
“Heyy !! shant ho anagha! Kaay jhale” The mothertongue comes automatically, when u r worried/ tensed.
“His BP have increased.. mummycha call aala hota! He is suffering and see I am here cant even meet him” Anagha cried.
Amol tried changing the topic, she reacted to them, but her train came to the track of papa again…
“Papa have always the coolest temper.. He had never reacted instantly, may it be any situation.. I used to wonder, he never gets angry or he supresses his anger .. Later I realised, that’s his speciality, the love filled in his heart towards all individuals makes him like this..”
“He loves me and mom a lot.. Arre theirs was arranged marriage but all used to feel that they had done love marriage,.. he loved mum a lot…. Anytime when I had thought of the image of my future hubby I had imagined him like my dad…”
“He is my idol since childhood… when I was young I used to feel proud that he is so handsome…. And all other girls were jealous of him as I was having dad like him..”
“Very knowledgeable, He is truly an engineer, He is the one who had started from scratch.. Now he has his own house, a stable family.. he had never got afraid to open even a single machine in my house.. and whichever machine he touched, never cribbed again…” J
“My papa is truly a dreamman for any lady.. he is gentle.. sweet and caring towards all ..A nice family man…”
“I had shouted on him so many times …but he never got irritated….”
“Interesting thing u know.. he is a superb cook also… he uses his engineering skills while he cooks… funny na,,, his signature dish, golden callys is so crispy I tell u… U will never forget it…”
“I remember I never used to eat vegetables in the routine form… but now I realise why dad learnt cooking… so that he makes diff forms of them so that I can eat… and I used to love them all… Sunehri bhindi, Karara karela, funky Shimla mirch.. They all were superb…” Smile came after a long time on her face, she was looking cute with tears in eyes and smile on face.
“I was a kid when he had gone out for his project and mummy says that I had taken up fever just because I did not saw him for a few days… he had came running back home.. wont remember much but I still remember what fun we had when mom had gone out somewhere…. Each day a zoo, museum, par, icecream, cakes… what not…..”
“Always he had identified my tears , my silence and everything … He was the one who told me to study and face the papers, for which I was afraid the most…”
“He is still like the Himalaya of my life… storm and steady… He had always treated me like a princess and had never let me work …”
“I prey each day to god for giving him healthy life and would someday make him proud of myself…”
“Papa… I really love you… hope u r listening me … “
Amol was calmly listening to her each word.. as if he had seen her dad in her each word.
“don’t worry anagha, uncle will be fit and fine soon” Amol’s words made her smile..
That day, He understood why “dad” is called as the first hero in each girls life…
