Chapter 7 - past

It was the morning

The early morning is a realm of quiet promise, where the world is bathed in soft hues of gold and gray The air is cool and crisp, carrying the faint scent of dew on grass and earth.

A faint mist may linger over the landscape blurring edges and softening the view

Birds stir in the trees, their tentative calls breaking the silence

And in the moment the light of the sun touched Mr Johnson eyes he woke up with a big smile on his face it's the another day of working another day of being the best father 

He moves with practiced efficiency each step part of a routine etched into muscle memory

The faint hiss of water fills the bathroom as he splashes his face

the cool touch shaking off the last remnants of sleep

He glances at the mirror, adjusting his hair with a quick swipe of his fingers

You always wake up before me John said his wife who just begin to open her eyes

Let me prepare your coffee

no need just take your pills I just bought

don't forget it's 2 pills before breakfast

them yesterday it's Just a 2 month left and we get our little farm and then we can make a bigger of a family there hmmm I begin to feel the taste the taste of honey in my mouth from my grandpa bees once we pay all the medicines we gonna go back there we can come to this house from time to time

I'll go see M.A.R.Y she must be sleeping like an angel in her bedroom

Going to her room opening the door so silently and getting there on the fingers of his feets

Seeing his little daughter sleeping while hagging her little doll

Ooh hoW cuts you're Mary I'll bring you some chocolate or little jar of honey or a little doll as cute as you Even if doubt there to exist such a thing in the whole world

Ahhh I really want to just stay her and watch you till I you wake

Slitely kissing her on her front and then he fastly get out of the room

He than goes fast to where he works greeting everyone of the shop owners that begin their days

Looking at the bar owners while passing greeting them

::-- hi mr Johnson early as usual to work

::-- as usual

Achieving the work place to begin his usual day

Hi Mr Johnson we gonna today work in a little far place to cut the trees

Hahahaha laughed Mr Johnson so hard like he used to not because of a funny thing but because he used to love working hard

Getting in the car while he took his place with the other guys

Hey Mr Johnson how is it your little daughter right now

I just left her sleeping

You're so lucky I really hope to have such a daughter

You have to firstly find a woman that accept your jokes said one of the guys

Everyone laughed

But the worst part is when they get older and change they just stop being cute and begin yelling about everything

At that moment Mr Johnson face changed from white to a blue face as The changing of the sea

HEY stop there Mr Garry the last time I told him that letting his daughter walking will hurt her he kepted her on his back for 4 hours no kidding

Jhhhhhhhhh everyone was laughing so hard

I'll just keep taking care of her till she stay being cute forever

Nah the worst part is when someone wants to marry her

Everyone looked scared at the man who just said it knowing something weird will happen as the last time it happened

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO screamed Mr Johnson not even in a thousand year

MARY YOUR DAD WON'T GIVE YOU TO ANY MAN

You really had to say it ?? said it Mr Garry

Let we complete our work

Hey guys we're going take your places

While the car that was talking them to the working place everyone continued laughing about their weird stories and Mr Johnson reactions on his daughter

The car was going right and left but in a constant speed till they achieved the place of the work

Hey  said Gary to one of the new workers

Do you want to see something funny ??

Of course

Hey Mr Johnson we have to finish everything so we go home MARY is certainly waiting for you

At that moment moment mr Johnson looked at the forest and said while putting his hand on the tree

Sorry forest nothing personal but I have to go home for my daughter

The rhythmic of the proud father while the axe echoed through the forest

each swing sending vibrations up his arms

Chips of wood flew with every strike  scattering around his boots

His shirt clung to his back damp with sweat that trickled down his temples and dripped from his jawline with every time he remembered daughter and wife as a father he knowed that he has to afford them the descant life he had to as any father

After the whole working on the first hours cutting every tree Mr GARRY looked at him and said

It's really awesome how having a daughter and making a family change someone life look at all these trees you've just cutted it really respected I still remember how you used to be kinda lazy till you had a daughter

At that moment one of the guys looked at him and asked so Mr Johnson how does having a daughter and a wife change your life

At that moment he looked at the sky took a little silent moment took a bit of the sandwich that his wife prepared yesterday look at the sandwich and then said

::--To me my  wife and daughter are more than family out of the blood relation  they're my anchor and guiding light my hope

My wife's presence is  a source of unwavering support her voice calm and soothing even in the stormiest moments She is the one who's seeing through the silence of a cold room offering understanding when words failed me. My daughter laugh warm and genuine filled the house with life reminding me why I have work so hard every sweat every early morning every trees every movement every and any thing is for them

Mr Garry looked at him and said you're really a growing man

While everyone looking at him with a slight smile on their faces at that moment Mr Johnson face turned red getting shy of what he said in a moment of honestly
