"Happy Birthday"
Today was her birthday. Her 23rd birthday. But the incident that happened one and half year ago, was playing like a video in her mind, in her eyes. One and half year ago, Her father passed away due to his illness.
Her father was not just a father for her, but he was also her best friend, mother and everything of life for her. She was attached most with her father, she loves her mother too but her father was a hero for her. From her childhood, her father used to feed her on his lap. He loved his daughter so much that hardly any father loves his daughter. He used to play with his daughter and deliberately lost to make his daughter happy. His job was in the same city where they were living. When he went out of city to work even for a day, she became sad and had a fever. When he returned, she got completely fine seeing her father.
Time passed very quickly and she grew up in the love of her father. She never imagined she would lose her father. Her birthday was celebrated with great enthusiasm. He always gave a surprise on her birthday. On her every birthday, her father showed that he didn't remember anything. And at dinner, he brought cake for her and surprised her. Happiness on her face was priceless for her father...
One day, he faced high fever. His wife took him to the doctor. The doctor gave some medicines and said,"Don't worry, he will be ok. There is not a serious problem. Its just a fever." But he was becoming weak day by day. After a month, he passed away. For his daughter, it was nothing less than a resurrection. Time and circumstances broke her. She did not believe that she had lost her most precious thing of life when people came for condolence. Life had gave her a shock.
Now, she was afraid of happiness. Life can be so cruel, she never thought. After that incidence, she never celebrated any birthday. She never wished anyone a happy birthday. This word reminds her all those happiness which she had spent with her father and complete family. Now she hates the word: "Happy Birthday"...
