Seeing Through the Eyes of My Daughter
By: Sharm
There
was a peaceful and happy family until that fateful day in March.
“Where is kitty? Why is she not with us? She’ll be all alone in the house. Poor thing, she’ll get hungry. Please, Dad, let’s go back to get her.”
“Kitty will be okay, Honey. We’ll be home before sundown.”
“No, I won’t enjoy a bit without her. Mom, please convince Dad to get kitty.”
“Alright let’s get back for kitty before the whole plan gets spoiled.”
The
rescue team that responded to the call of the residents of the area found the
whole family unconscious.
When
One
morning,
“I’m very sorry for what happened, Dad. It’s really all my fault. I hope you will forgive me.”
She tried to hug him but he pushed her away.
“Can you not really forgive me Dad?
“No, Because of your whim, we lost your Mom and I became blind.”
“What must I do to be forgiven? Punish me if you want and I will not complain.”
“There’s nothing you can do to be forgiven. Can you ever bring back the life of your mom? Can you bring back my eyesight? The doctor says only an eye transplant can bring back my eyesight, and that is impossible without a donor.”
One day, while having his dinner, Jack received a call from his doctor telling him that there is a donor for his eye transplant. So he underwent an eye transplant. It was successful and he was able to see again.
When he returned home, only his two sons met him at the door. He searched for her daughter. He asked all their maids but nobody knows where she is. He went to her daughter’s room and where she was always staying but he found nobody. Then, he went to his room to rest. He was surprised seeing her daughter sitting on her mother’s favourite chair. He asked his daughter what why she was there. The young girl answered smiling “I’m waiting for you here daddy. I’m so excited because you are going to forgive me today.” Her dad replied “I told you it’s impossible for me to forgive you”. The girl answered “You told me it’s as impossible as having your sight back. Now you have it back. I’m also having my daddy back. I missed you daddy. By the way daddy, my eyes look good on you”.
