By the time he had completed his work the sun had already rose. he grabbed his bike keys and left for his apartment.

Mom: ok da.. Take care be careful...
Later that night,
Dad: congrats! (Plainly ...)
When does the training start? Where is the training?
Appu: probably it would be at Pune or Bangalore. Details would be known next week.
Dad: ok... Start preparing for the training and find what all you need before joining the company.
Appu: ok... (With slight disgust in his voice)
*****************************************
At Appu's home.....
Appu has been staying away from his home for the past 2 years as he was posted in Bangalore. Appu's dad was getting ready for the office and he heard someone crying outside. when he went out and checked he saw a kid crying and stubbornly saying that he wants to go on ride on the bike with his dad and that kid's dad was getting late for his office.
When he saw this,
"Something was similar. He knew someone who always did that" he thought and smiled.
Later, he asked “how was Appu doing?”
Appu's Mom: He is doing fine. Shall I call him?
Dad: No, he would be tired now, will talk to him later.
************************************************
Appu: Amma! I going out with friends would come in the evening. It’s my treat today.
Mom: Ok da bye and take care
Dad: Be careful with bike while driving, most of the accidents i see now a days involves guys of your age.
Appu: Please! I know dad. I am 23. I can take care of myself
At some restaurant,
Vicky: So dude when you are gonna leave for training?
Appu: probably within a month... yet to get to get official confirmation yaar.
Sandy: hey Vicky bike is too good yaar.. where did you give it? Even i need to remodel mine.
Vicky: the one at begum pet yaar, my friend's shop only. I will take you there this week. Cost me 2000 bucks.
Appu: 2000! Wasn’t that a way too much?
Sandy: No da.. It’s worth it.
Vicky: yeah! Its damn good da and had to face wrath of my dad too... gave me a long baashan.
God knows why they give us lessons. (With sarcasm)
Sandy: you know what... when i call to my dad's mobile he barely talks to me for 2 minutes.
He just asks “is all fine over there" tats it... and gives it to my mom. Till date I never figured out the reason for that.
Appu: Huh! Listen to this guyz....you know when I told my dad that I got placed...
He said plainly "congrats!" I thought should have appreciated properly.
Sunny: They never spend time with us da... yea even my dad barely talks for couple of minutes on the phone. We were so close to him when I was in school but now barely I talk to him seeing his eye.
Appu: True da... why do they change......?
***********************************
At a park......Appu relaxes as he is done with the project delivery and wants to spend some time breathing fresh air there.
As he relaxes he sees a kid and his father playing. He observes every time his son hits the ball the father's face is proud and happy. he thinks about his relationship with his dad and how much had it changed since he was kid.
Soon lots of questions keep popping up in his mind....
When was the last time he had a friendly chat with his dad?
When was the last time he and his dad laughed over a joke?
He brooded... what had changed "he or his father”?
**************
Vivek: You know my dad is stronger. he fought a tiger the other day.
Appu: Huh! That is nothing my dad is stronger he fought tiger and even killed it.....
He is much stronger than your father
Vivek: My dad can beat your father with one hand. He is stronger....
Appu: My daddy is stronger than your dad.....
Appu smiled thinking about this incident how he had he had got into a fight with some other kid arguing that his dad was the strongest in the world.
His phone rang........ His hands trembled as he heard his mom spoke,
He couldn't stop the tears.....
********************************
At some hospital......
Appu's dad was admitted suffering a heart attack.
Appu: (voice breaking...)
Dad how are you feeling now?
Dad: I MISSED YOU APPU......
Appu: Don't worry dad you will be alright........
I know my daddy is strongest in the world..... (In tears.....)
