Question

Father had provided for my education; and I had been able to realize his dreams.

My parents were truly proud of me. It was through me that they had earned a

greater degree of admiration and respect from the villagers. My father would not like to see

me carrying a trunk on my back and would be very hurt if I did so. I concluded that it would

be better to let him carry it. Father was used to carrying luggage any away. He was stronger

and more skilled than me in these matters. I had never got used to physical labour having

stayed in hostels right from my childhood. So, in spite of my youth and strength, I was

physically useless. I continued walking silently with father. We rested at two places on the

way and had our tiffin but we hardly talked. Finally, we reached Dirang. The bus from

Tawang not yet reached Dirang and so we had some time in hand. We entered a tea shop

and sat facing each other. Father appeared tired. I felt sorry for him but couldn’t bring

myself to say anything. I asked the waiter to get us two cups of tea. Just as I was going to

take my first sip, I heard father’s voice.

Do you have a pair of old shoes? Why I asked.

The road is uneven and full of pebbled. It hurts while walking.
