MY EARLIEST CHILDHOOD MEMORY

If I came to write any memory so seriously I will take much time to think what should I write, because I remember almost everything that happened to me. But let me share one of my childhood memory which I loved + I hate that. Yeah you will think I m mad, then yes you are right. Hmmm I still remember that when I was 4 years old, my father was going Lahore and my elder brother was going with him. I said I will also go as I love to travel. Even now so I am always ready to visit new places. Well that time I just want to be with my father that’s why I was willing to go with him. But.. he cheated, he said he will take me with him but he doesn't. Sad I know L He asked my Mom to buy me some toys with which I will play there else I will bor. And me been a good daughter said yes I want toys.

As I went to the toy shop, with in 2 minutes my Papa left the place and gone. I asked my mom where is papa, Come I will show you at home, said my Mom           I said with happy face OK lets go home. As I reached home asking my mom where is papa. She said come at the roof and watch the plane there in that Father is. I was only 4 years old and a cute innocent girl that’s why didn't asked much and gone back to my room start playing my toys. But wait where the new toys are?? Clicked in my mind. Want back straight to my mother and asked about my toys,

‘Where are my new toys Ami?’
“Toys? Which toys? Don’t you have much toys to play?” said by Mom
“Yeah but that doll which I was looking at the shop where is that?”
“Oooh! That, that one is in the shop and papa said that he will bring much better toys for you from that”
My papa said this? I asked. ‘Yes’ she said.

With a big smile on my face I went back to my room and start playing. Again after 5 minutes, I come out and again asked for my papa. And that same time my papa called from the airport and talked to me. He said “ohh darling I forgot you at home” and I replied nothing but was smiling. When he reached Lahore, after every 30 minutes my papa was calling to talk with me and asking what to buy for me form Lahore. That thing I really loved and still love that. Even now if he has to go anywhere out of the city or country he always uses to call and talk so long with me.
