Cruelly concerned...

Reached Damlaan bridge while walking towards office. A dad was about to cross the bridge with his kids. Cute kids they were (aren’t all kids cute??). The boy was in the cart and the girl was walking along with her dad. The girl rushed towards the bridge. The dad grabbed her. She struggled to free herself. The dad didn’t let her go. Well, dad knows better about his kids’ inquisitive nature. May be, he is aware of the secret that his daughter thinks that she is a duckling. May be, he thought that she is hydrophilic. May be, he knew that she is fascinated by fishes. Or, may be, he didn’t trust her walking prowess. Whatever it is, he didn’t let her go. He made the squealing kid sit in the cart by the side of her brother. Watching his dear sister cry, the boy decided to let his dad know that his sister has got his full support. The boy started crying. Probably the kids were fed up with their bullying dad. The dad was unfazed. He had this hard emotionless expression in his face. He clasped the belts across the kids. He then rolled the cart across the bridge. After moving safe enough away from the bridge, the dad released the kids. The girl sprung to her feet. She stopped howling. The dad let her hold his hand and walk along with him. She started laughing. Looking at his sister laughing, that boy too smiled. A divine smile spread across the dad’s face. The happy dad and his chirpy kids continued their journey.

Damn, this is very sweet story. Please write another sweet story of bachelor life, or I might just get married sooner than I had imagined :p
