I don’t
confront those horrifying situations anymore and it is uneasy for me to express
some situations I’ve been through because it involves my family scene, and I
promise that my father used to be the kindling. [Throughout my writing, it is
going to take my life to speak the exact fact and I won't be too honest to my
self about the details but I would like my readers, if there is/are any, to
take it to your average capacity of imagination].
I heard
it from my mother that ever since my father joined police force he strive for
excellence and cracked lots of mysteries that no one did. The only thing that
stood between him and his promotion and gaining fame was Security Clearance.
When I was of age where I could understand people, he used to weep in festivals
such as Dashain and Dipawali. He was not much of a weeper but bottle after
bottle of beer used to trigger it somehow. He used to say he misses his own
brothers and sisters who are far away from us. Putting all those pieces of
jigs-saw-puzzle together I came to the inference that it was his frozen
promotion and being all alone in the country from his parent side that made him
get too much attached to the drinking habit. Mummy still says it was not like
that in the beginning but those two reason made him DIFFERENT.
I can
understand how tough of a life it must have been for him living in that cruel
reality. After all of his contribution to the service be was denied of
promotion. I don’t really understand why the people at high fail to recognize
those who die for their job. He was deprived of security clearance and he stood
in same rank till his mid-career. He started drinking more. There are two type
of creature people turn into once they drink: humble man or the animal man. My
father used to turn into the latter. There used to be lots of family quarrel
and he used to get physical too. This problem started even before my sister was
born and from a young child’s perspective it was a mental torture and I never
liked the very feelings of it. This may be the reason why I am so conserved and
take time to get along with people and colleague. Though my father gave me some
nightmarish memories and I still fear it, he was my god and he still is. I
don’t know any person who loves me so much than him. Only the aftermath of his
drinking habit was disaster but the other person in his heart was one in the
million. He is my only greatest hero and I don’t have any expression to express
that in any colors of emotion.
I am
looking forward to build a future from a scratch, brick by brick. I want my god
that I believe to help me be a decent adult to all the people I serve and my
generations. I personally believe that we cannot predict our mindset in the
future and I am afraid to go to the future if I am to become animal man. I have
no regrets at the moment for my plans. I had couple of regrets in the past but
the only regret I want to kill myself for is that I couldn’t be there when my
father called me in his last hours of his life. And I have my own reasons for that
I know no one would understand until they see me weeping [😜].
