Deliberate act of Kindness 

His sunken eyes, pale skin made her painfully aware of him .She tried not to think of days, he had stood tall, cruel lines of his jaw which chose words carefully to inflict scars on her.

It took her sometime to realize that this deliberate act of cruelty was how he had chosen to love her.

More than she knew his heart broke each time her eyes would swell with tears that  dared not to betray her .She had seen his anger and disappointment ,but never his pride and love .

And now it was too late, he was there, lifeless, a shadow of this former self. It tore her apart to know that she would never be able to tell him that she had finally understood why.

Being a politician’s daughter was never easy, they had no life of their own, especially the honorable ones, that truly cared.

Her father had been such and had always found himself isolated .So he chose to break her in little pieces himself before the world could and teach her to pick them herself , even though it meant alienating her .

And she had been foolish, youthful, addicted to fairy tales; she had just wanted a knight with shining armour to sweep her off her feet. She used to picture herself as a damsel in distress with a tyrant father who enjoyed making her miserable.

Her foolishness had cost him his life, yet his final words to her was that even though he had not been the best; she should know that no one had loved her more.

As the final rituals were completed, she whispered to him “Father, I would sacrifice anything to have you stand by me, do the pass de deux with you in the waltz of this politics”.

She insanely expected him to answer back and say “Foolish girl, you must never show vulnerability “.

She wiped her tears, and swore to set things right, there was no going back now.
