My father was beside the hospital bed as I was sleeping. He was looking at me with love and affection. He was the only one in the room.
"Oh my baby girl. I'm so sorry I wasn't there when you needed me." my father said.
"I thought that keeping my distance from you was for the best to protect you from trouble. Now I see that it wasn't the right choice to do." he said.
There was a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" my father asked.
"It's me sir." the voice of James, my father's assistant was heard.
"Come in." my father said.
James opened the door and entered.
"Lock the door." my father said.
James nodded. He closed and locked the door.
"Have you done what I told you to do?" my father asked.
"Yes sir. All has been prepared." James answered.
"That's good." my father said.
It became silent for a while.
"I have always thought that keeping my distance from her was the right thing to do. But still something bad happened to her." my father broke the silence.
