The Happiness

  Roop's pov:

I was scribbling in my diary when I heard my father's voice.

"Roop....Roop can you come here betta(child)"  i heard my father screaming my name from his room.

  When I reached his room he said " mera bacha ( my child) can you please give me the medicines from the dining room. I've forgot to eat them and placed it in the dining table. "
"Oh yes pappa ( father) sure" I replied

When I returned with the medicine pappa took the medicine immediately. "Mera bacha day after  tomorrow is your Pooja's wedding we should go to their house tomorrow. You remember right?

"Ah yes pappa , and I am really excited "I said with a smile.

"I know beta(my child).You know I am excited too. There will be so much relatives and friends there.Ahh I love family functions because I get to see everyone"my father said happily.

"I know Mr. Kaurav Gupta but you should sleep now or else you may feel not so well tomorrow " I told him in a funny way but it was serious.
"Hahaha mera rajkumari (princess)has grown soo big . I think it's time to find her a rajkumar(prince) " my father said teasing me .
"Noo..nooo.., I don't need anyone to separate me from you" i said smiling but feeling pain in my heart .

"Hey my girl no one is going to separate me from you but you know I am getting old and I can't be with you forever so you must think about marriage. It's time for you to think about it seriously ...."

"You have to find someone just like how I find your mother and love someone how she loved me and I loved her throughout her life and even now I love her....it's just that she is not here to love me anymore"Papa's voice cracked.
He continued after taking a deep breath "love is real mera bacha. You are the proof" Papa said smiling and caressing me with teary eyes.

Those words made me teary too...Thinking of amma(mother) made us cry every single time.
We both hugged silently and I left his room after saying goodnight.

Morning
Papa's pov:
I woke up feeling sunlight hiting directly at my face. After waking up I thought about yesterday's conversation with my child. I didn't really had to bring her mother to our conversation. It hurts my child. Actually thinking about it my child have never spoken about her mother to me and I would not speak about her mother  to my daughter too. I don't know why but we just didn't. Maybe because  my love Deepika's death is still unacceptable to me and our daughter.

When I was deep in my thoughts I heard a voice "Pappa....are you awake? Asked my Roop
"Ha " (yes) I replied
"I am ready to go to the Pooja's house ,come on hurry pappa" Roop screamed from the first floor
" I will be ready in 20 mins betta(child)" I said arranging my thoughts.
Roop is definitely excited to meet her cousins and friends.

When I came downstairs Roop was standing there daydreaming.
"Ahh my child have grown up soo fast...I can't believe you are 20 Roop. And you wearing those lehanga...Oh my god you are dashing like me Mera bachaa...." I said laughing.
"Stop it pappa... let's go." Roop chuckled
"Go ahead bacha" I said .

And we went to our relative Mr.Thakur's house. Thakur is Pooja's father and we are childhood bestfriends too. I wish Roop could finally meet someone special at Pooja's wedding functions... I thought while going to towards the horse cart.
