"Daddy, am I a bad kid?" The little girl to her father, who was sitting in his office. He pushed what was in his hands, removed his glasses, and looked at her. His eyes softened when he saw the tears streaming in her face. "Why are you saying this, Sarah? You're an angel."
"The teacher said that bad kids get a hard punishment, and I always feel fire in my chest. Am I bad to you and mom?"
His heart broke because of the words coming from a five-year-old girl. He can never bring himself to tell her the reason for her pain. He was selfish that he preferred to keep her on sedatives than telling her the truth or even show it to her.
"Baby, you're not a bad kid, and you'll never be. It just that you feel what the clouds feel when they are hurt, and they give us rain. It's like magic, and it will go away soon." He hoped that he convinced his daughter with these words until he finds the courage to tell her everything. But, himself, he doesn't know when that is going to happen.
