Thud...thud...thud... the knocks woke her up into the cold darkness of her room... her sleepy hands searched for the phone...the half opened eyes saw the screen flashing 2:15 AM...
Thinking she has mistaken, she turned around to fall back to sleep.
Thud thud.. thud thud.. thud thud... the knocks continued...
She had to get up this time...looked through the eye hole of the main door...out into emptiness...
"Who's there?", her question echoed in the darkness... her hand had searched the lights switches by then...
Click! She turned around and froze...
"D-Dad...You...Its 2:15 am for Gods sake!! And you came now!! You promised you would come as midnight strikes, this time at least!!", she exclaimed. " And what was with these knocks...you can come anytime here.. why do you need to knock and scare me so!!"
" Just to Surprise you Dear! I knew I was late thus thought to surprise you for a change..." he smiled back, "Happy Birthday Darling!!"
"Oh Dad! How I miss you... thank you so much... I wait for this every year...I love you..." she exclaimed with a tear in her eyes.
"Dear you know, I wait for this day every year too, I had promised to come and even death can't break that promise. You know that by now right?"
"Dad! Obviously I do...it has been twelve years since that horrible accident that made you to leave me... I just wish I had not let you on that stupid business trip of yours... I still wish I could hug you...but my hands cant touch you...at least I can see you every birthday... Thank you for keeping your promise...I love you...forever", she murmured...
"I love you too...forever darling..." his voice echoed as his smiling face disappeared...into thin air...
"Bye Dad...until my next birthday..." and she smiled at his painting on the wall.
With love,
Sanjukta.
