Arun took out a brand new I phone from his pocket and handed over to his dad. "Son, I do not need this". "Oh come on papa, you live alone here and this will be a good time pass". The father reluctantly accepted the gift. "Arun, it's been long since I met my daughter in lay and grand son, why don't you bring them here some day", the father pleaded. "Papa!! Not again, I have told you so many times they hardly get time". If Arun could read it, his father's eyes spelled dejection and disappointment. "Ok beta don't worry. As long as you all are happy I am fine. I have enough memories of your mother to help me survive".
Arun spent around an hour with his dad constantly looking at his watch. The doting father urged his son to go ahead and meet his important schedule. "Nothing much papa, but I promised rashi I will take go with her to meet her dad. I will take your leave, we are getting late". With this Arun marched off hurriedly to the compound of Jeevan Sandhya old age home where his car was parked and drove off. The father kept waving till the time the car did not vanish from his sight. He looked at the phone and it came ringing back to him "Happy Father's Day.
