It is few hours before I meet to my daughter Aadhya. It’s been 10 days since I last met her. The fact is that she is waiting for me. I am super excited to meet her. 🙂 <3 .
Gauri ( my wife ) who is currently at my brother-in-law’s home, says that Aadhya keeps remembering me and wants to meet her dad. I don’t know how best I would be able to explain to my 25 month old daughter that, there comes a time in life where you are left with few choices and only thing you can do about is – Wait . I know she misses me a lot as her mom’s time is now divided between her and Mivaan.
She does not understand yet that, Mivaan is part of family and it is important for her mom to take care of both. I promised my wife three weeks of dedicated time with her and Aadhya on the occasion of arrival of new baby in family. However, I could not do that. Breaking promises is not the part of my everyday life. My wife would not complain for it as she understands the nature of the job of software engineer. I am not sure, how much my daughter would understand. I lied her when I departed from her saying I would be back soon with toys and some snacks. She is so innocent that she believed that Papa would come back after sometime. But I knew it would not be possible for me to meet her soon. I had a feeling of uneasiness when I said bye to her. I remember those innocent and curious eyes, waving hands and sad smiley face saying Ta Ta.
She was crying in bed when I met her last time on 26th morning. When I called her by her name, she jumped from bed and stopped crying. I lifted her in my hands and cuddled her. Her smiling face, shining eyes and her sweet gestures brought tears of joy into my eyes. I was speechless . Those are the moments which bring meaning and value to our life.
I have just came from office. I had to take sleep before I start driving for Baroda. I want to look fresh when I meet her. This is going to be my first official date. I want to make it memorable. It is an amazing feeling.
I have not spend good amount of time with little one. He is not as lucky as Aadhya was. I want to ensure him that he would get his share of time from me. I have yet not done any conversation with him except simple Hi, Hello. I want to talk to him, want to know more about him and let him know his dad closely.
I would not tell to my wife, but I miss her too. She takes care of me when I come late from office. She comes and wakes me up when I am late. There are so many small things that she takes care of. I don’t have to worry about getting ready to go to office. She would take care of everything. Most important thing, she takes care of my family. I don’t have to worry about my family members when she is here. It is because of her, I am able to focus on my work.
Today, I am going to meet all threes. The wait would be over in few hours. So excited, so happy. !!
