Let Me Go

1:20am

I was waiting for Akash near the bus stand which was a 10 mins walking from my home. It was around 1am and as always he was going to be late today also.

My dad was not happy with my relationship with Akash as he was not financially stable but I don't care, I love him and he loves me and in the end love is all that matters. So we decided to run out from our house.

Once we get married everything will get back to normal and it's just a matter of few days. And after all I am his only daughter and he love me a lot he will surely understand me and forgive me.

12:30am

I packed my bag and went to check on my Dad. Dad was sleeping peacefully in his room when I went to check on him and say my last goodbye. I gave a goodbye kiss to Bruno my dog and left my home slowly, making sure I don't wake someone up.

1:45am

I felt a vibration in my back pocket. I had received a notification on Instagram.. someone has tagged me on a post on Father's Day.

"Today is Father's Day. How can I not remember that" and suddenly someone kissed my cheeks..It was Aash and apologized for being late, "Baby I am really really sorry for being late and I pro-"

I cutted it off before he could even speak and took my bag, " I am sorry I can't do this. I need to go home". He grabbed my wrist and took my bag from my hand, " No.. I am not Letting you go. I am sorry for being late but you can't just go back because I was late" he checked his watch "by 1 hour. And I am sorry for that. Please.."

I looked at him, "Baby it's not because of you it's because of me. It's Father's Day today and I can't give him a surprise by running away from home. He have loved me soo much.. I can't repay him this way. Please" A tear rolled down my cheeks " Let Me Go.. Please Akash .. Let Me Go "

There was a whole 2 mins of silence between us before Akash finally spoke, "Please stay" and tears rolled down his cheeks and all I could say was, "He is my Dad.. Can't leave behind the one who loved me for 21 years for someone I love for past 2 years. Please Let Me Go".

Akash loosen his grip and I ran towards home wiping away my tears. I opened the door of my home
and went straight to my Dad's bedroom.. he was asleep. I went running towards him wrapped my hands around him and started crying.. because of which he woke up and was all confused, "Sia.. What happen..Please tell -" Before he could say anything I kissed him on his forehead and said," I love You Dad And Happy Father's Day ".
