Walking down a long lonely road , with swaying trees on both side , i took small steps with a heavy heart , i felt lonely , i felt incomplete . All of a sudden i heard foot steps follow me . I felt scared , i felt helpless , i started walking faster and the footsteps following me became louder . I didn't know what to do , how to react . What was i suppose to do? i was 11 there wasn't much i could do , so i gathered all the courage i had in me and turned around ......... and to my amazement it was my father! I hadn't felt happier in ages . I ran into his arms and he hugged me tight ...... I missed the warmth of his protective hug , i missed looking into his brown eyes and feeling like the most loved daughter in this world , i missed HIM . I was seeing him after seven months . He looked good in his olive green uniform , well everyone looks charming in an army uniform but he was the worlds most good looking person for me . The fact that i looked like my father made me feel so happy ..... Just then i saw a red blotch of blood on his collar "What is this" i asked him but he just ignored my question and hugged me tighter . Then he stood up , held my tiny hands and started walking down the lonely road besides me and all of a sudden the road did not seem lonely at all. Very soon the road came to an end and we stood on the junction of our house . He came down on his knees , kissed my forehead and said "If u ever feel lonely and scared , all u have to do is turn back , and your papa will always be there for you" . He asked me to run home and said he would join us shortly . I ran home to tell my mother that dad was back from the border , but the moment i entered my house i heard my mothers painful cries . I ran into the hall and got the shock of my life! There lay my father .....Lifeless ...... he was shot in the neck ..... my mother looked at me and said "He's gone...forever" I ran back to the lonely road i yelled for my father , I screamed for him to come back , I sat there and cried
But this time ...... i was all ALONE
But this time ...... i was all ALONE
