In the whispered ruminations of my father, I gleaned fleeting echoes of bygone days spent in the company of my mother and me.
His contemplations, colored with vibrant emotions, wove tales of a post-retirement life—a serene canvas painted with literary endeavors, scholarly rendezvous over tea, and leisurely sojourns in bookstores. It was an enchanting reverie!
Yet, I foresaw, with an almost mournful certainty, the dawn's arrival to witness my father, ensnared in the familiar rhythm of hastening through breakfast, fleeting office trips, brief lunchtime returns, and labor extending well into the nocturnal hours.
Once upon a time, I bemoaned the perceived dearth of paternal affection. He remained an elusive figure in parent-teacher meetings, seemingly unaware of my academic whereabouts.
But enlightenment has since illuminated the futility of such grievances. My father's love, veiled within his taciturn demeanor, flourishes surreptitiously. He's a maestro of the unspoken, leaving me grappling with the enigma of his profound endearment.
However, with enlightenment came a realization—an epiphany of his boundless devotion, intricately woven within his restrained expressions.
During my mischievous exploits of childhood, I often tested my father's limits. He would raise a cautionary hand, murmuring, "Behave, or else!"
Yet, in my audacious mischief, I remained assured that his hand would never descend upon me. Was it indulgence or tender care? I couldn't decipher, yet it was undeniably my father's idiosyncratic tapestry of love.
There linger memories of shared repasts, a distant city's distant call, or my father's eleventh-hour counsel. Each instance illuminates his love, transcending the confines of human emotion—the zenith of love's elevation!
As the cherished offspring, how do I reciprocate such an ethereal love? Verbal expressions elude me, much like my father.
Instead, I offer gestures—retrieving his accoutrements, proffering comforting tea, extending a pair of comforting slippers—as my humble tokens.
Yet, I wonder, dear father, can you truly sense this ethereal love?
