Handling is difficult

After hearing to Williams and thinking for a while, Juliane smiled and said,

"Dad, you remember, when I was in my childhood, I also did the same thing and you were the one who got scolded instead of me?"

(William surprisingly) "Yeah, I remember, but I'd never told you, who said this to you?"

Juliane again gave a smile and said "Mom told me, when you were not home. I know all my childhood deeds either its good or bad or funny"

William got confused and asked"So, what are you trying to say in all after saying that?"

"Listen Dad, childhood is that period where children don't know what is wrong and what is right. All they know is that they just want to live that period happily doing all kind of entertainment which make them happy. At that time, they don't listen to their brain just listen to their heart. That's why dad when children do such kind of things, we should let them go, they'll learn themselves. If they have to get scolded, they will get scolded by their parents. We are not the ones to scold them, we don't have any right to scold others' children. If we do that, they won't get the right thing in their brain which they have to get after their mistakes."

"Hey Juliane, come here, come here dear, I didn't even got to know when did you become so mature that you are now making me understand what should I do and what shouldn't I do. As the day passes by, you know, I am being like a child and you are being like my parent. I don't know how this happens to people after they get aged."

"Come on dad, now let's get freshen up and make dinner. Today is weekend dad."

(Both got up from the place and went to their room.)

After coming back from their room, Juliane started making dinner and William went to the rooftop and started enjoying the view. He was seeing the clouds going here and there delightedly. He started missing those moments which he used to spend with his wife. His wife had a tumor in brain. Thankfully it was not there in the time of Juliane's delivery. Doctor said that it was due to taking stress. At very first, it was hard for them to believe, then when they asked for details with doctor he said that taking stress induces signals that cause cells to develop into tumor. Slowly both of them got into it and William tried his hard not to give her stress. But her tumor was so big that she gad to undergo surgery but the surgery was unsuccessful and she lose her life. From that day, William started thinking he was the reason for his wife's death.

He was sobbing since he did not want Juliane to know that he was crying. He used to get upset often. When Juliane gets out of home for school and work in working days, he used to think about all these things again and again in his room for hours and end up being stressed. Until Juliane comes over to him and persuade him saying various things unless he gets relieved, he did not even come out of his room.

(Sound of slippers)

"Hey dad, Are we going to eat our dinner here?"

"Yeah dear, let's eat it here today."

After sometimes, Juliane came with foods she made. They both started eating dinner. Suddenly William spoke,

"Juliane, what if I say that I want to go for a tour?"

Juliane(looking marvellously) "What made you think about it all of a sudden dad?"

"I was bored sitting here inside house 24/7, I wanted some refreshment, that's why I thought of it and asked you if you have any objection.."

"Why don't you go outside and take some fresh air then, there are beautiful places here too, why are you neglecting them?"

(William sighs)"I know there are beautiful places here and I have been there too with your mom. So, for now I don't want to go to those places instead what I am preferring is to go for a tour of 1 months and get refreshed. I have my savings from my pension too so, you don't worry about money."

"Come on dad, why will I worry about money, what I am actually worrying is about your health, about how you are going to live without me, and what if you break those rules I had made for you?"

William was amused to listen these things from his 18 years old kid. He thought he will be the one worrying about her but the whole world turned upwards down for him. It was just opposite. Juliane was taking much worries than William.

"Okay dear, If you let me go, I will follow all your rules, I will take care of my health, I will call you daily and tell you everything I did that particular day. Will that be okay?"

Juliane thought for a while, finished eating her meal and then answered," If you are going to do all these things, then my answer will be YES. But don't forget I won't be there for you at any moment so you have to be careful. By the way, where are you planning to go?"

"I will never forget that thing, and I am planning to go to Switzerland."

(Juliane jesting) "Oh my gosh, You have planned such a good destination dad, I think I will get jealous of you. So when are you planning to go?"

"Why don't you fix it for me dear? I have heard everything nowadays happens online. So will you book the ticket for me now?"

(With a smile) "Just wait for a moment dad."

Juliane went downstairs to bring her laptop and came up.

(Opens laptop and websites) "So, dad tell me, which one will be better? There is flyte after two days and three days for Switzerland. Which one will be better?"

"Lets make it three days later so I could get time to pack up my things and spend time with you as well."

"Okay, so its of 11:00 am on Tuesday, and I am booking it alright."

Juliane did all the formalities and booked the ticket for Tuesday for William. Then they went for nap as it was already 2 am.

Though William was happy that he was going for a long tour of one month, another side Juliane was still worried.

"Oh Jesus, please protect my dad from all difficulties."

(Sound of switching off the lights)
