"Hello? Emma?" I said

"Yes, it's your girl, Emma" cheerfully she said

"I kinda miss that voice. Relieves me everytime I hear that"

"And yours too. Made me feel love"

"How's your morning there? Did you skipped breakfast?"

It's this feeling again, checking out on your girl every morning

"I feel so good today and I didn't skipped breakfast. You? How's the day?"

"Tiring. My cousin Ishaan and I went to the mall today to buy achkan for the feast. And this cousin of mine, has Porsche. He beat me off the coolness of cars but I got classy ones so it's no problem. And Harper is here. He arrived at breakfast time"

"Wow. Feels complete there. I wish I was that complete"

"Don't feel so broken. I'll be coming back after the feast. I will not stay here any longer"

"Just don't forget to call me or text me so I won't worry"

"I won't forget.."

"I gotta go. I know you're tired and you need to rest. I'll go, mom will help me finish my papers before going to clinic"

"Good luck and take care Emma"

"Take a rest and wake up cheerful. I love you, Krabby"

"Shh. No Krabby. I love you more"
I didn't mean the 'I love you more'. It's just that I go with the flow

Then I hung the call.

I got back on Dad, he's still there, taking his coffee break

"Who was that?"  He asked while I approach

"Nothing. Just a call from my friend"

"So how did you broke up with your girl?"

"Immaturity. Infidelity. Strict ruling"

"I hope you change" he just said and left me

He was 99% right. I need to change. I was kinda embarassed of myself because I was so immature and infidel to Sky. Small things, we fight. I ain't even have the guts to accept my mistake. I reflected for a while. I rushed to my room and read my small book about philosophy, stoicism in particular. Aurelius, the author helped me a lot with this little piece of literature.

After those, I had myself smiling because I spent the day well. The money I have, I still don't know where to put these but I have to dispense it to my bank account since I've got no plans for this.

The movie? It made me realize that I still have a dad and I'm lucky that I see him.

By the way, tomorrow is another day so I gotta take a rest and will wake up cheerfully.

A loud series of bang on my door woke me up. I checked my phone at it's three in the morning. I wore my eyeglasses and looked who's at the door..

It was Dad.

"Good morning Anand"  he greeted

"Good morning Dad" I said
