Answer:
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 pebbles, it hurts while walking’.
I looked at father’s bare feet. Never having worn shoes, his feet had developed cracks and somehow resembled those of an elephant. I noticed this for the first time. I hadn’t noticed that the road was uneven. I didn’t have to since I was wearing a pair of hunting boots. I checked my wallet and saw I still had around RS.40 with me. A pair of canvas shoes would cost around Rs 12 and the remaining amount would be enough for me to get to bomdila.
My father protested. ‘Give me an old pair you don’t have to spend money on new shoes.’ ‘ I couldn’t convince him to buy a new pair. Reluctantly I gave him the hunting boots I was wearing. I then took out my pair of leather shoes from the trunk, and noticed my father’s face lighting up with contentment. Suddenly he looked at me and said, Take care. Write to us…….
Father wanted to say something but the bus started moving. I saw my father gradually receding into the distance. I saw that the road we had come by looked like a giant motionless rope. Father would use the same road to go back home. Simultaneously our journey started in two opposite directions, with me seated in the luxurious seat of a bus and father walking back with weary legs on the pebble- strewn road.
