daddy....

hi everyone...
it's been so long I haven't written...
well, this time, I created this story because I was inspired by my friend
my buddy when I was in high school till now...
his name is... just call him Steve...
this is the story about a father, I bet you guys got a daddy right?
even there're people who didn't know his daddy till now
but whoever he is, he's your daddy after all
here's the story.... dedicated to Stephan Susanto...

Daddy

In a small town called Pone lived a small family, well average maybe, contain of a daddy named Stone a.k.a Black Cat, a mother named Sofie, and this family got 4 sons....

The oldest son named Peter, the second son named Steve, the third one named Hans and the youngest named Nick...

Mr. Stone worked as a wood dealer, he collected woods from the forest and sold it to the town, while Ms. Sofie open a little toy shop. Peter is a strong and handsome guy, he's a hard worker, he's helping his daddy's work. But Steve, he's not a normal guy, he's so thin and he couldn't speak because he's dumb. The rest of the sons still little kids, but they helped they mother running the shop.

Although Steve was dumb, he always tried his best to help his daddy or his mom. He's a smart boy, he loved the nature and sometimes he wrote a poem about his homeland and his family. Everyday Steve helped his father in the morning to collected the firewood, meanwhile Peter went to the forest and chop down some big trees.

Sometimes because of his dumbness Steve often made mistakes, but, his daddy never got mad at him. All the family member loved Steve a lot, and Steve also loved his family.

One day, it was Steve 19 birthday, Sofie didn't open the shop to prepared a feast for Steve... Stone carved a fine wood into a horse model as a present for him, Peter bought him a warm jacket for him, and his two younger brother prepared a song for him.

Steve was so happy, and he's so amazed with his daddy's present...

the day after his birthday, Steve asked his daddy how to carve wood... His daddy taught him everything he knew...

Steve learned so fast, he had passed his daddy's skill now....

One day, Stone got cough, he couldn't stop coughing, then he went to a clinic....

the doctor gave him a cough syrup, after that his dad drank it
His body get better, but might be because of his body was so weak and couldn't resist the dosage of that drugs...
He died the next morning...
Steve was so sad...
He's so sorry because he was never be able to show his carving to his daddy...
at the night when his daddy died... Steve wrote a poem for his daddy...
The poem was :

Dear daddy...
Daddy... How are you today?
that's the question I want to asked you everyday...
I'm sorry I can't...
I never thought that I'll lose you this soon...
I haven't made you proud yet..
I wish we could carve the woods like we used to do
there're a lot of things I wanna show you without words

It breaks my heart to see the strongest man I knew..
Lying there numbly without any words...
I wish I could see your smile again...
like how we used to laugh while we were collecting the firewood..
Dad... I'm sorry..
I knew, I'm not a perfect son for you...
I'm dumb, and I often did the wrong things and made you disappointed
Dad... please come back...
I really fell so lonely...
is a boy really not suppose to cry?
but I really want to cry now...

I still remembered the day we pass together...
when you used to teach me how to live this life
I still remembered the years we went through...
through all the laughters and tears....
I still remembered the day when you sing
sing for me everynight before I went to sleep...
I still be able to feel it....
now... I really wanna read this poem I wrote you...
but I just can't....

thank you Dad.... for being an inspiration for me...
for being... the best daddy everyone could possibly ever got....
I.... I love you dad.....

with love Steve....
