Did he deserve it... ?!!

Let me tell you a story. There was this man in his thirties, happily married. A loving wife and a 6-digit salary job - what else could he have asked for!? Lately, he had been spending sleepless nights. Was he suffering from insomnia or depression? No. Quite a few things had changed in his behaviour. He had become extra caring towards his wife. Was this an attempt to conceal his extra marital affair? No. The changes in the rooms of his house, increasing responsibilities scared him.
But, he knew every change was worth the result and was acceptable to him. He knew it at the very moment the little hand held his finger. " We would call her Angel.", he had said.
That feeling of complete bliss left tears in the eyes of this "strong man". Well, atleast this time he didn't try that hard to stop them.
Tears, are a strange thing, aren't they? They betray you always. They reveal the secrets you had been hiding from everyone, they reveal that part of you which you never wanted to show.
Years later, they did the same thing to this man. This time he tried real hard to stop them but the sight infront of him was too lamentable. Today, again, the hand held his finger but this time the hand wasn't that small and the grip wasn't that strong. The little girl was no longer in his arms but her lifeless body hung from the ceiling. The situations were different and so were the tears. Years ago, it was birth and tears of joy. But now, it was death and tears of sorrow. The girl had come into the world because her parents wanted her. They still wanted her, but she had left. Years ago, she had rendered him the position of a father. And now, she snatched it away from him.
But what ached the father's heart more was the doubt that his love wasn't enough to heal the broken heart of his girl, that his powers weren't enough to fix the crown of his princess which had been crushed by some guy, that a two year relationship proved to affect her more than a 19 year one.
He and many other fathers like him are left devastated with such questions. The years of turmoil they went through, the sacrifices they made, the burdens they carried, the fake smiles they put forward, the efforts they made to hide their "soft side" behind "strict" attitude, the pride they took in your smallest achievements, the sleepless nights spent wondering about your future - all those efforts, love, care, laughs, tears boil down to this? And what for? For someone so brainless as to not appreciate your worth, for someone who treated you like a thing when you deserved to be a queen, for someone who just took your heart and crashed it into pieces like a mirror? Did you deserve this? More importantly did your father deserve this?
Remember, before you came as an independent being in this world, you were dependent on someone else even for your food. Before you became connected or made any friends, you were connected to someone else. Though the government gives you a lot of freedom at 18, but you aren't really free. You yourself are a combination of two people. You are a symbol of someone's love. You are a happy ending to someone's love story and your story not working out well doesn't give you a reason good enough to make someone else's end drastically.
You owe your heart beats to your parents, you owe your breath to them. And you absolutely have no right to let it be broken so easily by a fool. With you, live two other souls. They laugh with you, cry with you and survive with you.
So, in case , these stupid thoughts try to invade your mental space, just think of the one guy who loves you unconditionally - your father. As stupid as you may be, as cruel, as hurting as you might become, that one man will continue to save you, love you. Give him back what he is worthy of and what he truly deserves.
