My letter to Dad

Papa I need to talk to you for a few minutes. I want to keep two facts in front of you which you may or may not like.
1)I cant live for a moment without my family.
2)I cant live for a day without her.

I feel very embarrassed after saying this but I have no choice I had to say this. Had mom been there I would have said this to mom and she would have conveyed this to you in a much better way but now that she is no more the only person I can plead to is you. No parents , absolutely none would want there kids to be unhappy. You might have an impression that this whole affair is a trivial thing and can be forgotten just like that and I would live happily ever after. But I am afraid papa, it is not so. We have been together for more than 5 yrs dad and now are unable to think of anyone else as our life partners. Please forgive me for being so audacious but it is a fact.

Dad when mom was alive the only reason I wanted to pursue MBA was because my dream was to give her every pleasure in the world which money could buy as she had been through a lot of troubled times in her life. For things which money could not buy I tried my best to be a good son. After she left us, I lost my ambition to do an MBA. What was the use of it? What for? It was she who told me that I still have a family to take care of. I have a father who is shattered, couple of kids who need a mother’s love. I don’t know if you have ever noticed but I have tried to break all the barriers that could ever creep in because of me being so elder to them. I can never take mom’s place but I have tried to make sure the kids never feel they do not have anyone to plead to or share with or get angry at.
But where do I plead dad???
I have no one except you. Please don’t kill me by telling me to leave you or send me into a coma by saying not to marry her. Why do people marry dad?? Not only for starting their own happy family but also to keep the existing family happy. She loves the kids as much as I do and she will look after every need of theirs and care for them. I promise you she will be the best daughter in law you could ever imagine and keep this family together like fevicol.
Dad I am worthless child right now since I have the misfortune of having to choose between my family and my love. It is only you who can make me worthwhile by accepting me along with her. Please dad I beg of you!!!

N.B. My dad is against my relationship as the girl is a bengali and myself a UPite

My dads response:
You pig, your family is dead for you from today. You are no longer my son. You are barred from entering the house or having a morsel of food here. You get out from my house and find yourself a rented place.

  1. I feel completely shattered seeing your father's comment.
    I mean such a profound request letter from a son to a dad found no sympathy at all.
    While reading through your letter I thought that this letter would melt down the stubbornness of your dad, might be he would reconsider.
    Alas, I was wrong.

    This situation reminds me of the movie GOAL..I bet you have seen it.

    What I feel now, that if your siblings are with you and if they can understand the gravity of the situation they should try their best to pursue your dad for the good of your family.

    Thats all I could hunt down my mind which I fear what would do in a situation like this.
