Three little daughters


After 3 months long tour,today he is going to home.Home sweet home.


Who could ever thought an orphan like him can ever build up a family? All those days. Living in someone else’s home. Sharing all those with strangers and making them families. All those moments of struggle and sorrows. Life was  harsh on him. In fact too harsh. When he got his sense he was alone. Like someone dropped him on the surface and lost forever. His  parents. He lost all ,before knowing what he had. Life was cruel to him. Its not easy for an orphan to survive. But he survived. Got proper education. Though lots of people can’t…….but he did that. Got a good job. Married to a woman of an wealthy family. Now he has his own family. His family. He bought lots of gifts for them .Dresses, toys, chocolates, color boxes, hair clips and bands even pendants for the girls.

The journey seems like a infinite one. As it doesn’t stop. The plain is going like a turtle. He gets restless. When he is gonna see his family. His lovely wife and the  beautiful daughters.
At last plain arrived. He took a cab and rushed to his home. Home sweet home. Before even knocking the door…..it gets open. All his daughters. They saw their Dad from the Balcony. Where they were standing and waiting for him for almost 2-3 hours.’’Daddyyyyyyyyyyy………’’ Girls runs to him and gives him a big hug. He kisses each of them back. Hama the elder one.Sreya….the 2nd one……….and …..Surya! Just then he remembers.’’O no!’’ 

When all settle down. Girls start searching for their gifts,’’What did you bring for us Dady?” they ask.’’Where is our gifts?’’Dady shows the bag’’Their.’’Though he feels a bit down.
Shama unpacks the gifts.Dady brought lots of things.Sreya and Surya also seat their and wait to see their gifts.Dady brought two lovely Salwar Kameez for  Shama and Sreya.2 boxes of colour,2 pendants,2 hair bands,2 big boxes of chocolates,2 big dolls and 2 toys……Surya looks at the gifts. With lots of patience. The bag gets empty very soon.

Dady searches something for Surya in his bag. Can’t understand how did he forgot about the little one???He gets a Radio set. The  radio ,which Surya got in a competition. Which one he took to his work and used it.Dady feels terrible. Promises to himself next time when he will go for a  long tour , he will make sure to take a group photo of her 3 daughters. Specially one of the younger one.

 Looks at the child. She is still with her smile……..which is dimming slowly…….
