"Dad."
I knocked three times before opening the door, he didn't look back immediately and didn't seem to know that there was a knock on the door. He's sitting at his chair looking so spaced out.
My dad is turning really old now, seeing his hair turn white as time goes by. Seeing the tiny wrinkles around his eyes, makes my heart ache a bit.
"Dad."
I called and then he realized I was here in his office. He immediately tucked the papers away in front of him and a smile greeted me.
"Yes? Come here."
I approached and sat in the chair on either side of his desk.
"I just want to say sorry about what happened."
He sighed and looked at me. His smile shows something else but still it looked genuine.
"I just want the best for you, Jade. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if something bad will happen to you."
I nodded slowly. I got up and went to the door but Dad spoke again.
"Jade," I looked at him. "You will understand me always, right?"
