I left your house in shame!😔
The morning was bright and clear because it was quarter past six. I had done all necessary "domestic chores" needed to have been done. Then, I felt there could be nothing else.
"Is there anything left for me to do?", I would usually ask. But on this day, I rather asked.
"Please father, can I share some things with you".
The night before, I had had a terrible dream that warranted serious biblical advice. Else, I could be on the verge of being mentally sick. I needed you to guide me through spiritually, since dreams are spiritually inclined (positive/negative).
I had summoned the courage to ask you this, despite the instructions you had hurled at other "members of the family".
"I need some rest, I don't want to see anybody now", you had bellowed.
I knew you needed some rest, in short, I am aware of your sapped strength. But my tussled up thoughts couldn't wait. I wanted to spill the bean.
"Please father, can I have a word with you?", I asked again, this time with blurry visions.
"Plea........se fa....ther, can.......I ha.....ve.....", you mimicked me deliriously. That would have been mild, if it had happened in a secluded place, like the "kitchen". But it tore my emotion deeply because you publicly did it and that amongst the "neighbors".
" When you're not deaf, haven't I told you that I am busy!", you strangely coughed.
"It's alright sir", I had said.

But when the curtains fell.....
I never knew that your words could wear me a cloak of extreme shame.😔
I knew that at any moment, I could resign from the post of daughtership👯
I knew that it was just a thin strip of wordly encouragement between Life💖 and Death.❌
The setting was a Church environment. And these are the original meanings of some words in inverted commas.
"Domestic chores" - Presumed churchy duties.
"Father" - some type of inconsiderate pastors.
"Daughter" - spiritually- needy/ new-born babe kind of member.
"Kitchen" - personal office
"Members of the family/Neighbors" - congregation.

Please Father, Never ask me to come back, because I have made up my mind. In life, I have come to understand that:
"Nobody is too busy; it's just a matter of Priorities"
Draft your lessons and share a piece of an advice👌
