Tomorrow is the last day of this year and I'm turning 47 tomorrow. I have been struggling and working really hard for my family since the day I got married. Only my wife cares about the efforts I make for my family. She has been supporting me ever since we got married. But my daughter does not see me even as a human. I think she only sees me as a wish fulfiller. My daughter, who just took the SEE examination is demanding a new cell phone which costs about thirty thousand rupees. I want to fulfil her wish, but I can't. I don't earn a good salary as I'm aged and can't do my work effortfully as it requires lots of physical strength. My daughter wishes to join one of the most expensive colleges in Nepal. She plans to pursue a career in the IT field. That's why she has also demanded a laptop. These things are going to cost a lot. But I want to fulfil my daughter's every wish. I don't want her to quit her studies like I did due to the financial instability of my parents. I had a dream of becoming a doctor and serving the country which sadly wasn't fulfilled. Whenever I think of taking a loan from the bank for her studies, it strikes me that I don't have anything to put as a mortgage. All I have is the house where we're staying in. My wife has been suggesting taking some loans from her brother. Even if I agree, I don't know how am I going the pay all the debt.

ReplyDeleteIt's a good piece of writing. It really makes someone realized how much their father works hard for his child/children and how much he care about his children .
