Chikku's APPA....!!!

Appa was the best father I had ever seen....he stopped smoking becoz his''chiku'' prayed for him...His ''chiku'' believed that...and will always believe that...On the first of every month as far as ''Chiku's memories takes her ..sharp at 6pm...Appa used to ring the door bell waiting for ''chiku'' to open the door.From the age of say thrilling 3 to the wonderful 2o...every 1st of the new month used tobe fun for ''Chiku''...Appa used to stand beaming at the door..with two packets ....one was a Cadbury milk chocolate and the other Chiku's favourite ''moghlai porotta''...Chiku used to also get her pocket money...a bundle of new one rupee notes...amounting to 100 rupees....Appa never forgot ever...!!!Chiku was his only reason for the hard work and effort he put in ...at his work...!Never for once till he died did he scold his ''Chiku''...She used to tag along with him wherever he went..at times creating difficult situations..but Appa would never say NO..to Chiku...!!!!But Chiku never knew that she would lose her Appa to the cruel hands of Fate....when Chiku was just 20yrs....!!!When she needed him the most....Chiku was left alone in the hands of her loving mother....to face the cruel world outside....Chiku was no more....Aneta....the woman of today was born....who learnt to hate ...love...smile...cry....criticise....even if she never felt like....becoz she realised''life was not a bed of roses ''
