Answer 3:
The father wants that his son should return to him just as the prodigal son had returned in the biblical story. The son was a wastrel and idler. He left home and went away. Yet, when he would return after several years, the father would celebrate his return.
Answer 4:
The father is unhappy about this stranger-like relationship. He, of course, wishes to change it as he is ready to accept his prodigal son. He will love to start living with him in the same house.
