sahana / veer*sends picture*
isn't she so fucking cute?
aw
i wanna boop her little nose
just did it for ya
she's so adorable!
why are babies so adorable but grow up to be annoying little pests?
well that took a turn
sorry they're so bratty when they begin to run their mouths
btw is that you carrying her?
yeah, like what you see?
i can only see your large arms. nothing to like
should i send you a picture of something else you might like? ;)
you are delusional. i am curious about one thing tho
is that a coloured tattoo on your arm hiding under the baby's hair
you have quite the eye, firecracker
but i wouldn't have expected any less of you
what is it
it's a tiny emerald with a sunflower attached to it.
what does it mean?
my mother's name is maragatham. the tamil name of emerald. her favourite flower was sunflower. she loved it so much that my father bought a small patch of a sunflower farm just for her.
that's so sweet
um
was?
yeah, she passed away when I was 11
i'm sorry, veer
don't be
what about your father?
he was shaken when she died. for a year or so, it was my sister who took care of me. then he came back stronger than ever. cooler too
that man is the coolest guy seriously, i'll tell you. he used to sketch a lot and make a living out of it. now he's moved onto digital art. the man is 60 years old
wow he keeps with the changing times huh?
yeah. even though many say their dad is their hero, he truly is for me. he never made me feel the void of being motherless.
it's hard to find someone like him. but i have to correct you, not many people see their dad as their hero, veer. times have changed. it's just a cliche phrase that's gone out of style
i'm sorry i didn't think. it was stupid of me. bragging about my dad like that. sorry, jaan.
it's okay. i'm happy for you
maybe envy you a little too
you could always ditch your family and come off home. i'm sure my dad would adore you. he won't even bat an eye when he discovers what a foul mouth you have.
haha maybe i might take you up on that offer
i mean it, jaan. when it's too tough, say the word. i'll be there.
thanks, veer
