An untold love story

in hive-111825 •  3 years ago 

He would wait for ashley outside the school.
Behind a tree, a half drunk looking man.
Dirt on his face and hands.
He might be a drug dealer, trying to get that girl.
But he chose not to talk to her, just silently kept on watching.
A stranger came near the girl, giving her a candy.
Stranger told the girl he could get her more if she comes with him.
Girl was smart, she refused to take the candy.
She said her mother was coming.
Drunk looking man smiled,(God knows why).
Her mother came to pick her, stranger ran away from there.
That very moment, drunk man also left the place.
Who was he? He could also have offered her a candy.
He could have tried other dirty tricks to get Ashley with him.
But he didn't.

You know why?
No, you don't

That old drunk looking man was Ashley's father. After their divorce and losing the case of child custody.
Visiting Ashley's school and look for her behind a tree until her mother took her.
Taking a half an hour leave, from the car mechanic shop just to see that his daughter was safe.
Happy because Ashley was smart enough to refuse a stranger.
Devastated that her mother didn't allow her to meet her biological father.
Caring was there, love was there but it was an untold distant relation.
