Hey dad.
I've always had this secret wish.
That someday, you might actually come back and look for me.
Maybe someday you would, I don't know,
come knocking at our door, and tell us how sorry you are,
and maybe--well just maybe, you will try to make it up for us?
You have wasted fifteen years of your life, dad.
Fifteen years of yours and fifteen years of mine.
I wish you hadn't left in the first place.
I wish you hadn't bailed out on us, just like that.
I wish I could ask you, why?
I wish..
I wanted you to know that you, have punched quite a big hole in my heart.
I also wanted you to know that hey, it is your loss.
I wanted you to know that mom have raised us amazingly well.
I wanted you to know that she never quits, no matter how shitty life gets.
I wanted you to know that my mom is the best thing that has ever happened to you.
You had your chance with her, you blew it.
And you still owe me fifteen birthday wishes, you know.
You owe me fifteen years of my life that I will never get back.
You owe me hugs, kisses, lullabies.
You owe me my childhood.
You owe me a father.
For that, I hope you are sorry.

I received a text from Ibu, right after I'm done with my test.
It says that you had passed away this morning.
Yeah, my biological father had passed away.
I barely remember your face.
Yeah, it has been a while.
I felt this slight pang inside, my heart is filled with regrets.
I guess I can kiss my lifetime wish, goodbye now.
Yeah, he left, again.
And knowing my dad, I'm pretty sure he won't be coming back, yet again.
Al-Fatihah.
