As he entered the car, I inhaled deeply. He still smelled the same!
Perfume?
Nope! It's just his scent. A very unique smell which i can recall as forever.
Oh! I really cannot remember anyone with that aspect.
Hmm. I watch him get in. He has slowed down. That strong, stubborn man is now quiet and often deep in thought.
Thoughts of?
I wouldn't know. Perhaps he's worried. Thinking about his ailments.
Or afraid!
Oh, no! Not afraid. Maybe he's reluctant to leave. Probably to leave behind the apple of his eye.
The sweet Chinmaiyi!
Yes. They're as close as can be. She'd say all the nicest things to him.
And him to her, I realise.
I remember him as strict as can be. Ruling the household. So many kids were there. My aunt's children and my uncles and cousins. We were all terrified of him.
Ahh! Now i understand why you do the things you do. You're like him.
Yes. I am very much like him. In many ways. Looking at him now, brings a little sorrowful pain into the heart.
Well, we cannot be selfish. No one lives forever.
Of course. And I'm thankful that I am lucky to have him till this day. I wish him all happiness in the time that's left. For my part, I'd do all my best for him in whichever way possible.
Yea, well let's make his days better and best.
Hmm, I'm glad to have this awesome man as my father.
