I sat on his lap and it felt so good. The idea of getting up soon did not occur to me since I was afraid to leave him, even for a second. His gaze was as innocent as that of a little boy. He ran his hands through my hair and for a moment,I felt loved and pampered.
His gentle palm grabbed mine and couldn't help it but to shed tears of joy. "Baby, I love you dearly", he whispered gently in my ears.
How on earth will I meet such a gentleman again if I ever lose him? For the first time in my life, I was afraid to lose someone so dear to my heart, "Promise me you will continue to be the good lady I have known for the past years".
I kissed his forehead to seal the promise he requested from me and he kept smiling. "I will always do as you say but please never leave me alone".
He coughed and asked me to get him water to drink, I rushed out of the room to get the water but to my deepest surprise, he was cold when I got back and couldn't make any move on his sick bed. "Nurse,nurse,nurse" were the last words I heard myself whisper when I woke up from my dream.
The thought of leaving the house vanished completely when I woke up.
I began to appreciate my father for his countless efforts to get me on the right moral standard due to the fear I encountered in the dream.
I had always thought he never loved me simply because he nagged like a woman on everything I do and wouldn't allow me to have the freedom to do the things that he knew would ruin my reputation in future.
