Standing by the window I look at the shining sun and think that a new day has come with an another torture. I am alive yet dead. I am breathing and as long as I continue breathing I have to bear this. Minutes turn to hours and so on. For how long this will go I have no idea . I thought of ending my life but to no success .It needs courage. Moreover doing suicide is wrong my conscience won’t allow me to do that.
     I m long forgotten by my kin . For them I m nothing but a piece of shit. They have long abondoned me. Who knows whether they remember of my existence or am I dead for them.
    Here comes Miss Wilson ( the caretaker) throwing the food by my door. Not food actually stale food. Just sufficient to kill someone's appetite.
     I sit on my bed   and munch the soo called food and wait for that hour when he will come . He never came. I remember his birthday when he turned 6
    " Daddy you are the best. I love you .This the best gift you gave me. I always wanted an iPad. Every friend of my had one. I m so glad you got this for me. I love you. "
     Those memories kill me every minute. I look at the door continuously that one day he will come and take me away from this wretched place. I can’t stay here any more .People call this place an old age home . The place where scums like me are thrown every day. Everyday old parents like me wish when their children will come and take them back home.
     I was always there for him whenever he needed me. I brought him up with care and love. I gave him everything he needed. I tried my best to be the best dad. But I don’t know where I failed.
    I remember that day when my son told me ‘Dad I need to go to London I can’t be here for you . I promise I will come to visit  you always.’
   These were his last words to me I never saw him again. I tried calling him but all in vain. He wanted to get rid of me. But after knowing all this I still wish I atleast get to see him.

AUTHOR'S NOTE
This short story I wrote after reading an article, where the father dies in old age home with just one hope of seeing his child.
This is really sad and heart breaking. Hope you enjoyed reading it.
