“Dad! You are a superman,” 10-year old Rahul said.
Dad laughed out loudly.
“I am serious Dad, How come you know everything?” he further asked.
“My child, I try to answer as best I can. When you grow older you will not need me”, he said.
“No Dad! I will always need you.” Rahul replied and hugged his dad.
Rahul’s words echo in Dad’s heart. He looked at the dark sky and said:
“Dear son, nothing remains the same except the vast sky. It has been 25 years since you died while saving your superman from a terrorist’s gunshot. You were wrong about one thing. This time I need you. Please come back.” Dad said and cried hard.
Just then, 10-year old Rahul pulled Dad’s kurta and asked..
“Grandpa! You promised me that my Dad will come to meet me on my birthday. Hooray! The day has arrived. I have brought a cake for him. Where is he?” he asked excitedly.
“Look there, a bright star shining in the sky. He is your father, your superman! Grandpa answered and hugged him tightly trying to hide his tears.
That day an old father found a son in his little grandson.
