"People don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusion destroyed."

Roshan decided to wait for his son in his room. He needed to talk to him. He didn't know whether to be the tough father now or the friendly one. He would have to wait and see when Zarin arrived.
After a few hours, Zarin finally materialized in his room. His eyes widened in shock when he found his father waiting.
"Father?"
Roshan who was almost falling asleep forced himself to wake up.
"Zarin."
Zarin ran his fingers through his hair, knowing very well why Roshan was there.
"You are very late and you missed dinner." Roshan pointed.
Zarin sighed. "I know, father. It won't happen again." It was his most used line.
Roshan wanted to point out that he had said so plenty of times before, but decided to try something else.
"Where have you been?" He asked.
