Wouldn't You...

Just picked up Alli from the Kem.
With plentiful time to kill, I decided to make a visit to Anies' house.
I was contemplating whether to announce my arrival or not when my cell rang.
I stopped to retrieve it as I forgot to attach the earphone.
It was hubby.
We talked a while when...

Alli : Mum, give, give...Alli mau cakap sama dad...

I started to move the car when I heard...

Alli : Daddy, kalo daddy rich nanti bolehkah kita jadi real family lagi...
Alli : Alli rindu ba sama daddy...rindu kuat kuat...

It breaks my heart...

I didn't dare to answer that...for I know, I don't need to be rich to be there with them. It's only a matter of choice...and hope.

Time waits for no men...I know. The next thing I know he'd be old enough to avoid me...kissing and cuddling him...No way!Like what had happened to his sisters.

I had missed all of his great achievements in life as he grows. I wasn't there when he first learned to crawl, his first step...his first word..and only God knows what else!

It shaterred my heart to million pieces when he accidentaly called me uncle...long time ago...No!No! I didn't like that a bit...not even enough for me to smile about it. It's not funny...ever

Who's there to blame? One for sure was me. Now, history repeats itself...Should I let this go on any longer..where things could be worse or should I wait...which is not any better...as far as family and fatherhood's concerned...

Alli,girls... pray hard in your innocent little mind...for Dad to be there again soon,and always. I'm not the world's greatest Dad, but I will surely try my best...for all three of you...My angels...my pride, my love.
