THE FATHER

THE FATHER

Suddenly, I slapped her hard.  Threw the files at her. The Doctor got up from his seat quickly, touched on my shoulder. “Be cool; get back to your seat my child”. I slapped him too……..

“Guards! There is an emergency” - doctor. Security guards rushed in immediately. 

“Take him away! Put him in the dark room” Doctor yelled. When they received the doctor’s command, they came forward to seize me. I took a small rod. I was ready to beat them too. But, I failed,

The Security punched me in face. 

“If you say that one more time, I will kill both of you!” I growled at doctor

Other one hit me on my shoulder…again…again…….

I felt down. I lost my consciousness

Now

 I am sitting in a room. My hands are tied up. The Doctor sitting in front of me. She is watching me through the window.  

 She dabbed the blood from her lips, gave a terrified look at me like a defeated dog. 

“We will not say that word anymore. We are sorry” Doctor.

 “By the way you didn’t tell your name” - doctor.

i)                    Ten Minutes ago

No one can tell the Casapianca story like my father tells. He will make the others cry, when he describes the story. 

A soldier tells his 6 yr old son (Casapianca, who follows his father’s words) to wait on a deck in the ship till his return. After sometime the ship catches fire. His father dies in that ship. Everyone asks Casapianca to come with them

“My father told me to wait here till he comes” Casapianca said

“Your father will never return to you. He died”– a soldier. “No you are lying. My father will come to save me as he told”.Remaining soldiers also are running away from that place to save themselves. Finally, innocent casapianca dies alone.

My mother died, when I was 4 yrs old. I was raised by my father.  He was my role model. He taught me the secret of success. Whatever I did, my father gave a suggestion and let me make my own decision. I was succeeding in every task. My father stands behind my success.

He found a suitable girl for me. I got married. My life was going smoothly till that happened. 

Yes, my father died two weeks ago. I lost my father. No one is there to support me. I had become very thin in the past two weeks. I hadn’t gone to work. Didn’t talk to my friends even with my wife. Wherever I go, I see my father standing there. It’s an illusion. Everyone told me to get back to day-to-day work. They told me to forget my father’s memories. But, I couldn’t forget my father and I don’t want to.  

After his death, my wife started to fight with me for everything. She did not like the way I behaved. She had been murmuring something all the time. She also tried to pull me back from my loneliness.

But, I didn't heed to her advice. I am staring at my father’s photo. Not only today. I have been doing this for last two weeks.

She was getting irritated by my laziness. Finally, she decided to consult with a psychiatrist (Decided herself that I am becoming a mad). The result………

Now, I am sitting in front of a psychiatrist. 

ii)                   The CasaPianca

 

“Hello doctor, this is my husband………………………… I afraid that he is becoming mad” My wife. 

Suddenly, I slapped her………………………….

“By the way you didn’t tell your name?” Doctor asked.

“Casapianca” - I replied.

I was very impressed by this short story (partially modified). As it tells us, a father is a role model for every one. A good father makes a deep wound on his son/daughter’s mind/heart. We can categorize this based on how they are behaving with their children? 

The Categorization

1.       Being a person with strict principles and applying terms and conditions on your children in each and every task (Scolding/beating) will lead your children to get afraid of you. He/She will try to stay away from you. These types of children usually get closer to their mother than father, and learn to tell lies, some of them will start to steal things (to escape from your scolding/beating) like I did. 

      My father belongs to this category. When I was studying 6^th standard, I lost my pair of chappals while playing. Then I stole a pair of chapels to escape from my father.

But, these children will try act like a hero in front of their friends - These cases are dangerous for parents, (Because you will not know what they are doing, They will hide everything) sometimes for children. The girls, those who are run away from home with their boyfriends/lovers mostly belong to this case.

2.       Being a very friendly character, we can help our children to grow up with good habits. We can let them to take their own decision. It will make a strong bond between parents and children. But, these children always (40%) will ask for someone to help in everything - These cases are good for parents and children.

3.       Being a ****ing goddamn good person for nothing will lead your children to become like rowdies, gang leaders……etc. Sometimes they will beat their parents too - These cases are very dangerous to parents and children. 

Whatever the case, a father is a father. Every father is unique. No one can replace him by anything in everyone’s life. Every father is the Ideal man to his son/daughter. He does introduce world to his child, neither in good direction nor in a bad direction

A Relationship

I was watching ‘Neeya Naana’ in Vijay TV three months back. The discussion was about relationship between father and child. One youngster was describing about his father badly. His talking was full of shit.

He said ‘my father always used to scold me with very vulgar words like ****, *****, *******, and the bull shit complaint was keep on growing till the program ends. I need to inform you that his father made him as a post graduate. But, He doesn’t like his father even 1%.

“Generally, people used to do the same things to his son/daughter, whatever their father’s did them. Some of them may change after getting experience. But, most of the times they do. It’s a fact. No one can blame their father for anything”

I would appreciate him if he doesn’t use the same vulgar words to his son/daughter in future. Would he?

ALL LOUSY GUYS ARE FATHERS. BUT, ALL FATHERS ARE NOT LOUSY.
