She changes things more than anything else does. People get
super conscious. Glass – it may break, it might leave a mark on her. Chairs-
they’re too high, what if she falls? Balls – I asked you not to play indoors,
it might hurt her.
Even on a heavy day, when your boss didn’t let you be a part
of the project you worked your ass off. You come home, tired. Throw your tie
away and pull out your shirt. You’re about to shout for a glass of water just when
you hear her giggle. You go to the kitchen and pour yourself a glass of water (on
the rocks \m/).
Once you look at her, you just leave that glass of water –
untouched, hold her in your arms and cuddle her, play with her, for hours. Forgetting
all what your boss did. Next morning, you get up hoping for a brighter day.
You had never posted a single thing on FB but when she, for
the first time, called you with the name which no one ever used before, your
profile had a status update which is now, flooded with hundreds of likes and
comments.
You used to leave the moist towels on the sofa, bed, chairs
but now, you make sure that you hang them in place. For the simplest reason of
saving her from any kind of discomfort.
Not only that, you make sure that enough food, mostly her
favourite comes her way. So despite of being hungry, tired, frustrated with
work, you cook. And you cook well! Her smile says it all.
She steps towards you. Looking at you in the eye. Trusting
you, every minute of her life. Loving the motivation you’re giving her. Loving
the reasons with which she’s moving towards you.
She’s learning new things. So she started writing. You saw
her diary today and all she had to say was, ‘you can’t read that’ and all you
had to say was, ‘you bet!’ with raised brows.
She could be your Daughter or your Wife.
She could be someone’s Daughter and your Wife.
She could be your Daughter and someone’s Wife.
The point is that she’s a daughter, and could be a wife. So
why differentiate?
