Subject: I want your sorrows too

My little girl,

I want you to be happy always. But that doesn't mean that you have to hide our sorrows from me. I want to hear your sweet voice, but that doesn't mean that you have to suppress your depression in your voice. We are here not only to share joy but also to share the sorrows. You know I am going home on Friday night. I will come back only after 10 days. It is impossible for me to be there for 10 days without reading your emails or talking to you. That is why I want to hear your voice. I can't go home when you are there with tears in your eyes and that too during your menses. We have to talk before I go home. Tomorrow I will call. You can run away. You can let the phone ring and not take it, or you can unplug the phone. But I will call you. You don't have to unleash your feelings if you are not comfortable. I want to hear your depression, what you feel like and all. If I leave you like this, I won't get any rest at my house.

When was the night which you cried? Why didn't you call me? I could have tried to wipe your tears. I didn't tell you, last Friday I had an accident. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to become worried during your menses. I fell down from my bike after hitting a person. Nothing happened to me except that my bike got a bit damaged. There is absolutely nothing to worry about.

And I am going to give you the punishment for saying sorry to me. OK? After I go home, you have to send me emails all the 10 days, even if I couldn't reply. OK? I will try to read mails from there and write to you, but not regularly. But you have to do this. This is your punishment.

So now, my sweet girl, accept my punishment and take care. (Your menses is starting to bother me!!)

Lots of love

Kamal
