Peter felt that his knees are becoming weak and darkness engulfing his eyes. He took support of the wall and slowly sat on to the floor. He cursed the moment he “entered” to make his daughter.
Peter was working abroad for a long period. He got married in his late twenties and was blessed with a beautiful daughter. He always dreamed to take his family with him to Gulf. But the company provided only single accommodation and benefits.
If he wants to stay with family, then he has to rent a house. Such an act will turn out quite expensive.
Peter felt that making some savings should be given a priority as he is having a daughter. So he was forced to keep his wife and child at home with his parents.
In his early forties, Peter was suffering from some health problems and once was admitted in hospital due to chest pain. As he had made some money, he felt an urge to return to his hometown.
He resigned his job and brought a new 2 storied house in Kochi.Then shifted his family to their new home.
He started working in a nearby firm .Though the salary was less, he was happy to be with his wife and daughter.
His daughter Reena is now 16 years old and studying in +1 in a reputed school. She is a fair, chubby girl with beautiful eyes.
Peter and wife stay at ground floor and Reena’s room was in first floor. He felt the room upstairs provides a quiet environment, so that she could study well. His feelings were justified when Reena passed 10th standard exam with good grades. He brought her a computer with Internet connection as a compliment.
Peter was woken up by shouts and screams. He checked the Time Piece .Its only 1:30 AM!!
He took the torch and went outside. He saw some neighbours are standing near his gate. They informed him that a thief entered a nearby house. The housewife saw the thief and when she screamed, the thief ran in the direction of his house.
They mention that police are being informed and will reach there within a short time.
Disturbed by the thought of the thief, he returns to his house. While he was about to enter his room, he felt someone is standing upstairs.
He directs the lighted torch upwards. He sees a young guy in T-Shirt there. He recognizes that the guy is Alan, Reena’s Schoolmate!!
Alan was shocked when light fell suddenly on him and was froze seeing Peter.
Peter came upstairs and he understood why Alan was there at that time.
Peter told him;”Alan, please don’t go outside now. All my neighbours are outside and don’t spoil the image of my family. I will let you marry my daughter”.
Alan replied;”Uncle, I am not keen to marry your daughter. I came here just for entertainment. I am not the only guy visiting her. I assure you that I won’t go outside now.”
