Unknown to known


The girl hasn’t met her father for so long from her birth till she is four years old. Her mother is her only companion, support and guide taking care of and helping her to read and write. She is growing up playing and learning things from her mother and surroundings.

But do you know where your  father is? If someone would ask her . Her instant reply would be …

Yes, He is fighting war and saving our Nation India. 

The child is now in class KG reading at the nearby school. But always thinking about her father and thinking how he may look. Where is he and dreams to meet him one day as she hasn’t seen him since birth?

One day, their calling bell rang ting tong.

The child running opened the door as her mother was cooking in the kitchen. 

But oh she doesn’t seem to identify this man. She strangely looked at him and started to call her mother 

Mommaaaa!!!! mommmaaaa!!!!! 

”Here is someone I don’t know please come “

Her mom came running and wiped her sweaty face and when she came she was greatly awestruck. She started to sob with happiness. 

The daughter couldn’t understand what was happening. But when she saw the man hugging her mom tightly along with her she understood this is their special guest at home.

Now special guest needs some special dishes with wiped-out tears her mom went to the kitchen to prepare his favorite dishes 

We don’t know when, how and where we will meet our most awaited person and he or she will become our special guest.

Yes it was her father. After 5 years since the birth of the child she is meeting her dad. The innocence smile of the child then her father . The moment even a camera fails to capture.

Thus this moment onwards the family completes as the father comes back giving a strong retirement email.

That’s it!
