....rafiq Ahmed felt   sentimental  how  delightfully  delicate and innocent  his g girl was like a  fresh blossom,  he had  raised her  like a mother  after  her mother's death   , he was so protective  towards her  fearing   slight  strong  breeze might take her away,  he put away his  newspaper and gestured her to come  to him , she almost ran 8nto his protective arms tightly hugging him as she did her mother 

He  spoke  trying to soothe  her emotional hurt  life never   dealt us a fair game  , one  had to opt to learn to enjoy what all he had , he was definitely more  experienced in life  she still had to experience for herself  but  she was equipped with   modern education  intelligence and  talent but  she  must  possess  courage and  confidence  in equal  proportion to  her attributes,  he ended his  lecture  by giving her a look of expectation  , she responded  with a silent nod

He coughed  to clean his throat and continued   like before  because he  always shared  his thoughts with  her regarding  the  dangers  risks  her future  may  be holding,  preparing her to face  the  unseen 

Growing up means  being  curious to know  what  is what,    learning  new things,  being surprised  at absolutely  new things  trying to find out about them,   like a beginner  searching  for  more angles   and diving  into  different dimensions  by the time  a child  enters  youth he knows  life is unpredictable
