Middle Class DAD

I'm the richest son, to my middle-class father. And I'm very happy to call him as my king. I can feel and I can say, I'm not alone with this. There are a lot of sons who are feeling the same about their middle-class kings (Fathers). There are a lot of reasons for the above phrases. Actually, those are not reasons, those are hidden facts about him (My Dad), Which no one identified and which no one discussed and which no one awarded. Because he is not a celebrity or not a matter of sensation, or not a matter of likes & shares in social media. He is a just middle-class father, who can't give luxurious things, who can't arrange five-star hotel meals, who can't make foreign trips, who can't put us in villas. But, he is always in first to makes us feel comfortable and enough full to have all my needs. And he always in first to sacrifice his life to fulfil my wishes. Yes, he does that every time, but he never recognised well for it. Because we call it as a men's responsibility, mostly a father's responsibility. Behind the mask of responsibility, he did so much to me, from the first day of my life and he is still doing and I know, he will do that until his last breath. But he can't share what he is doing, because he is not so expressive as Mumma, because he is a responsible man and father, who shouldn't be so expressive as per the Indian male theories if he do that he will be counted as a strengthless man and weak father. 

     Now as a richest son, it's my responsibility to understand his sacrifices and responsibilities towards his family. And I'm very happy to share about his role. He works too hard in the whole month to get his salary on 1st date of every month. And that day he will be very happy because there he can do full fill some of his family needs. I'm sure, he never used his salary for his self. And that salary will gone in very few days, for all the home needs and for my fee & pocket money and EMIs and etc., I always wonder, I and my brother have too many trendy shirts and jeans and my Mumma also have so many colourful sarees in our rack, but my father has only very few pair of clothes and that too he is using those clothes from so many years. And, I and my brother have so many footwears but my father has his old black leather slippers only, which has so many patches on it. And he booked an auto to drop us at our 5km college, but he always walks to his 10km office.  And he always asks us for what we want to eat, but he never bought his favourite sweets. Because he knows that his salary can't to full fill his self-interests and wishes, if his family should get all their needs and wishes, he should compromise in his interests and he should sacrifice his wishes. And society calls father as a backbone of every family, as they are saying he always left on the back only. Behind all of these, his smile always precious and strength to me and my family. Whatever the situation he always looks us with a smile and he leads the situation with that smile only by hiding weight full thoughts in his heart. He is like a dark to the elegant moon. And as everyone says, Dark is king of the night. Yes! He is my KING.
