A guy👨 was walking along the street between shops at around 11.00 pm. He was carrying a black bag. His legs were moving towards the doors of a nearby coffee shop.

When the guy👨 was entering the shop, a servant👨🏻 was serving hot coffee to a man👨🏽 who was sitting at the corner table of the coffee shop. There was a bell attached to the door of the shop to make a sound whenever someone entered the shop. When this guy👨 opened the door, the bell moved and made a loud noise.

When the guy👨 suddenly heard this sound, he was shocked. It was predictable from his eyes. With this sound, a servant 👨🏻 in the shop turned around and welcomed the guy 👨 with a pleasant smile.

The guy entered the shop and sat at the first table with shivering hands. He ordered a black coffee ☕.

He was waiting for the coffee…

Anyway, his mind was surrounded by the thoughts of the black bag that he brought in. Time passed…! The servant👨🏻 came to the first table with the black coffee. While he was serving, there was a sound of the bell once again.

Both of them turned around. And the guys smiled at the girl who was entering… And, he tapped the shoulder of the servant and said, “One more coffee.. please”. The servant said, “Okay… sir,” with a smile.

The girl👧 was walking towards the guy. He pointed her to sit on the chair in front of him. It seems they were good friends 👫🏻. Her face was a fusion of both happiness and sorrow.

Unfortunately, her dad passed away. She was closely attached to her dad emotionally. She was fully disturbed. Since that incident, the guy and that girl met regularly after their work was finished. Gradually, she became okay and understood the reality that her dad was no more. They had chosen that coffee shop for that meeting.

She started the conversation with a low voice and continued with the incidents that happened from the beginning of that day to the time she entered the shop. Suddenly they heard a voice “Excuse me…”. The servant came to the scene and served the coffee. The guy was looking into her eyes👀 with the shivering body. He was unable to talk. She was looking at him with a puzzled face and shook him her hands. Then, he realized the situation.

Suddenly, she checked her mobile📱 and said, “Oh… it’s 11.58 pm. It’s too late. I have to leave. And you keep silent.. I am leaving now… Bye!!”. She got up from the chair and walked towards the door. She just touched the door handle. At that time, she felt that someone was holding her other hand…🤝 She suddenly looked back. The guy was holding her hands. She was puzzled.

He gave the black bag to her. She curiously opened the bag. There was a box📦. There was a toned newspaper cutting 📜 which was shining on the other side. There was only a single word in the paper cutting. He walked toward the waiter with a pleasant smile towards her and came with the marker🖊️.

He started to write ✍️ something on the door glass.

“Can I be your ………?”

Then she reads it and places the paper cutting on the ….. written in the glass.

Finally, it was “Can I be your father?”

She has emotionally hugged 🫂 him with a smile. He gently said, “Wish you the greatest happy birthday🎂!!!” in her ears.

Happy Ending…!
