Dear Prabha,
How are you? I am doing great. Hope aunty and everyone back home are doing well too!
I GOT A NEW PHONE! I am so excited, you won’t believe. You know what happened on my birthday last week. My dad was not with me for the first time on my birthday as he was out of station. I was missing him so much and so was he. He could only call to wish me. I was so disappointed. Mom tried
very hard to keep me cheerful by making ‘gulabjamoons’ and inviting all my neighbors for a delicious dinner. She ordered a yummy cake from Basels, the cake makers. Despite all this, I was not at the peak of my spirits, missing my dad and that surprising gift he gets every year.
Anyway, yesterday I got back from school and there he was. He was supposed to be returning next week but he just couldn’t miss me anymore. I was very happy to see him but had this look of disgruntlement. He apologized the whole evening and was pampering so much. Though he was tired from the travel, he decided to take us out for a dinner. We went to the Kebab Joint (my favorite place).
I ordered ‘koftha chicken’ along with some ‘roti’. We left the place by about 10:30 pm. Though we were all tired that never showed. I was so delighted; I forgot to ask about the gift!
After reaching home, dad put me to bed and kissed good night. The next day was Saturday and he said we would go out on a long drive and stop by ‘Mc Donalds’ on the way! I was very pleased as the day was so good. 15 minutes after he switched off the lights and left the room, I could hear a feeble music under my pillow. Wondering if that was mom’s iPod, I started to get up and search.
The Report on My Dad
... in once a day to care for my dad. My dad arrived home on Aug 15 and waiting ... I had one more day with my dad. My dad and I would sit in his room ... I had one more day with my dad. My dad and I would sit in his room ... with my family. I respected and honored my dad’s wishes and helped him find a good nursing ... husband and son were outside playing ball. My dad informed me he couldn’t stay any longer because ...
To my surprise, there was a gift pack with a nice pink ribbon and a label that read “Happy Birthday, Sweetheart! I missed you”. I shouted in excitement as my mom and dad walked into the room. The shine in my eyes put the sleep off! Dad came closer and whispered, “Open it”. There was my new iPhone! I could never believe I would get an iPhone. It was so beautiful with my name and wishes engraved on the back panel. I started exploring the phone and it has so much stuff I just cannot explain over this letter. Dad wished me again and said I can start exploring it tomorrow on the long drive. Wow! What an ending.
Why don’t you drop in sometime and we can catch up. I know it has been quite sometime that we met. How about next Sunday? Dad and mom will be happy to see you. Mom can make us ‘biriyani’ while I can show you some cool feature on the phone.
See you soon!
Bye,
Nikitha
