'I always gave my daughter's example to my friends. She was a role model for their children. All were so proud of her when she got campus placed in this company. They'd bought all their kids at our home to congratulate and meet her, you remember? I was the proudest dad in the whole universe that day. What will they think of me when they'll know that zia is doing all this shit?' He sat on the couch looking at the family frame on the side table. 'No david. Don't think like that. Zia has not ran away and married somebody and come home pregnant, shes just in a relationship. And hope that guy is somebody equal to us. Then we can get them married and none will know about this affair. Nothing is gone wrong yet david.... have faith in jesus.' But zia's dad kept silently starring at the family frame. His little princess in the frame had broken him to millions of pieces.
Perhaps you're daughter falling in love must not be devastating for all parents, but it was for them, because inspite of being poles apart, they'd lived every single day of their 25 years only for their daughter's future. And today every second of their life seemed an absolute waste.
There Zia tried dialling and dialling jai in the hope of connecting atleast once, but it was switched off. She couldn't even pray to god, her head was gone blank. She wanted to know what is happening in the living room, but could hear no noises. The silence made her heart beat more & more faster. She realised this was not the right time to tell dad about her relationship. She could have simply dragged time and waited for the right moment. Jai was not settled, her dad will no way accept him. But in between the fear of the end of their perfect love story, zia had one hope, her mom.
