Ayah

It was a Friday.
Every Friday equals family day to me.
Well, I have a small family here ; my sisters and their husbands.
So I visit them weekly by bus most of the time.

That Friday, I went to Atabah to buy a fan as a housewarming gift for my sister.
As the fan box is quite sizeable, I decided to take a taxi to El-Waily.
While trapped in a jam, a peddlar selling shiny trinkets keychains pass by the taxi.
The driver bought one. There's a crowded bus beside us.
A girl had been watching from the bus window, she looked very intrigued at the sight of pretty trinkets.

She called the peddlar, and the peddlar approached the bus window.
A man seemed like her father came near the window and paid the cost to the peddlar.
While doing that, his face glows with the joy of pleasing her daughter.
And her daughter's face glowed even brighter.

Starstrucked. Well, that's my feeling seeing those joyful smiling faces with bliss beaming from their eyes.
It's just a classic proof that dads will go all out to please their daughters.
It may not seem that much, but that minuscule amount of money may be the dad's pay for a day.
He can only afford to bring his family to shopping by bus.
But the daughter, fully grasping their situation, appreciated that small gift dearly.
A dad is indeed a girl's first love.

I immediately reflected whether I had appreciated every effort my dad did to please my unthinkable desires T.T

May ALLAH bless our fathers with His jannah in the here-after inshaALLAH.
(especially my dad who brought up 5 little princess into this world.)
