6.20 - His Daughter
-----
I have decided to talk some more with him, but I wanted the conversation to direct to the topic I had in mind.
It was actually the reason why I came to meet him now, to ask something that I've been troubled with recently.
"Do you have other regrets? Other than not being a better husband to Mom?"
He was confused by that question, and he only laughed a little. He finally gave me an answer that I had been waiting for.
"I guess… not being there for you."
"I see. Then, would you like to do something about it?"
Hearing that question, Dad was quite surprised. But, I lifted my hand before he got ahead of himself.
"I just want you to receive phone calls from my teachers if they are looking for me. I don't want to stay in your place, nor do I want you to start acting like my actual father."
