DEAREST BELOVED PAPA .. AS THE CLOCK STRIKES MIDNIGHT .. IT WILL BE 44 YEARS ... WHEN I LAST SAW YOU.. WHEN I LAST HUGGED YOU ... AS YOU WERE WHEELED INTO THE ICU , YOU SAW ME HELPLESS AND WEEPING , BUT YOU SMILED AND SAID "MUJHE KUCH NAHIN HUA BETA .. BE BRAVE .. MAIN THEEK HOON" .. IT WILL BE FORTY FOUR YEARS SINCE I HEARD YOU CALL OUT TO ME WITH THE ENDEARMENT "LALEY" .. A NAME I CRAVE TO HEAR ONLY FROM YOUR LIPS ... "IT'S NOT MY FAULT, YOU CHOSE TO BE MY ELDER SON", YOU ONCE WROTE TO ME IN 1963, FROM KENYA , IN A LETTER YOU WROTE TO ALLLL YOUR CHILDREN , PROMISING THEM A HUNDRED GIFTS EACH , WHILE I WAS HANDED OUT A HUNDRED INSTRUCTIONS .. I HAD NOT REACHED MY THIRTEENTH BIRTHDAY TILL THEN .. BUT THEN YOU KNEW YOU WERE PREPARING ME FOR BIGGER THINGS IN LIFE... IT WILL BE 44 YEARS I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THAT PAT ON MY BACK, BELOVED PAPA .. ENDLESSLY !!!
IT WILL BE FORTY FOUR YEARS SINCE YOU "NEVER" LEFT , BELOVED PAPA .. SOME PEOPLE NEVER LEAVE TILL ETERNITY.. THEY LIVE TILL ETERNITY .. YOU DO PAPA ..
AS THE CLOCK STRIKES MIDNIGHT I WILL STILL BE WAITNG TO HEAR YOU CALL ME OUT " LALEY " ....
