LOVE IS ON ITS WAY.

Episodes. 6. Exchange Terms.

I have come to Anuska's doorstep. For the first time the middle-aged man who still looked gaga though no longer young, stood in front of the door of his daughter's room since he was an adult. Dad never thought, if his arrival just made his heart troubled and worried.

I knocked on Anuska's door three times. But there is also no answer.

Geck, tok, tok.

I don't give up, maybe Anuska needs some time to think. However, Dad kept repeating the knock until Anuska wanted to open the door to his room.

"Anuska, this is Dad, son. Can I come in, please,?" say Father. While in the room, Anuska seemed surprised because for the first time Dad came to the room since he was an adult. Usually, I only tell Mom to go into Anuska's room, and provide new information about Anuska's life decisions. But this time it was different. Dad came alone in his room. Did you tell Dad about Anuska's request? I thought the long haired woman.

Satisfied toying with his thoughts, Anuska opened the door for Dad and invited Dad to come in.

"Come on, Father" Anuska said without seeing his father's face. She did not have the courage to look up to the man who had been taking care of her for 19 years. Anuska's eyes are swollen and swollen. It's very clear in Dad's eyes, and I can understand that. Feeling trapped in a large house, like a bird has no wings. It doesn't feel free. Now I realize that. Yeah, I only realized after 19 years.

I sat on the edge of the bed with Anuska. Dad looked at his daughter's face with pity and warmth. A father's little heart started to pinch.

"How are you feeling now? are you any better?" asked Dad, wiping Anuska's hair.

"Dad knows, it's been hard to accept every decision of Father and Mother all along. You may suffer, but we suffer much more. It's not easy for a parent to let go of his daughter out there without direct supervision." Dad started talking to Anuska for the first time.

"We forbid you to know the outside world because we have a good reason, which is why only we know. There will come a time when you know the harsh reality that Father and Mother have experienced for 23 years." Anuska was so stunned when this one sentence was so deep. It was like hiding a severe wound inside that caused a deep trauma.

"Dad doesn't want to force you to get married now, but just know, Son, Dad and Mom are doing this for your own good. No parent wants to plunge his child into a precipitous abyss." Anuska still hasn't budged. He was still speaking a thousand languages, as if enjoying every verse of his father's sentence.

"You'll understand Dad and Mom's fears after you become parents." I switched to holding both hands of Anuska.

"He's a good guy, trust me, em.?" Anuska's heart grew sicker. He thought Dad's arrival would give him a breath of fresh air, but it turned out to be the same. Hope is hope. Think Anuska.

"Is there no more hope for Anuska, Father,?" ask Anuska at last. He dared to look his father in the eye.

"What hope, son? say," Dad said.

"Can't Anuska know the world out there? can't Anuska find Anuska's identity outside? can't Anuska have friends out there? can't Anuska decide Anuska's own future?" asked Anuska in succession and without hesitation. The question seemed neat and epic. As if it had been prepared for a long time.

"Anuska..," said Father.

"Can't Dad be Anuska's friend just like Mom? can't you consider how my mental and emotional state is, then,?" Lirih Anuska's. The question is very deep. Anuska's face became more and more sad. He looked at his father's face. Then Anuska smiled wryly.

"It turns out Dad can't either" Anuska said. Father's heart was pinched many times over. But he chose to be quiet first.

"Anuska could have accepted the marriage without hesitation. As always, as always,

the fate of Anuska has been determined by Father and Mother all this time. Even Anuska never denied that. Anuska never stopped Mom and Dad. Because you know what's best for Anuska," Anuska said as if to bring out all her heart.

"What should you do as a friend,?" ask Dad. And success makes Anuska silent. The woman tried to digest her father's sentence.

"Did you just offer a friendship? and ask Anuska's wish,?" asked Anuska still with a look of disbelief.

"Tell me," said Dad.

"Anuska wants to travel the world" Anuska replied steadily.

"Alright," replied Dad no less steady.

"What do you mean, Dad? did you just let Anuska out of the house? traveling the world,?" ask Anuska enthusiastically.

"Of course" replied Dad. Anuska hugged her father's body. He was really happy this time. For the first time in Anuska's life, she felt matchless happiness. There's nothing happier than this.

"But on one condition" said Dad later. Anuska took off her embrace.

"Is that Dad?"

"You should get engaged first before traveling the world. And after you come back from the tour, you get married without looking back, how?" bargain Dad.

Anuska smiled as she listened to her father's offer. Five minutes ago he gave a condition, now it's his father's turn. Is this some kind of exchange of terms? thought Anuska.

"Alright Dad, Anuska will get married after returning from the tour later," said Anuska finally.

"Promise.?"

"Promise."

Anuska and Dad throw each other smiles. Without them knowing, there was a mother who shed tears from behind the door of Anuska's room. Yes, the middle-aged woman was unable to enter her own daughter's room. He could not accept Anuska's plea to travel the world. However, Father had trusted Anuska and given her one chance. That means Dad can see the trust in Anuska's eyes without hesitation.

Finally, he came out of Anuska's room and left her in his room. While Anuska's heart and feelings are blossoming. There are thousands of butterflies playing on their heads. There really is nothing more beautiful than this. Knowing the outside world was his dream since childhood. Moreover, by circumnavigating the world, Anuska will find her true identity.

Anuska is happy, Anuska is free, Anuska is not sad anymore, Anuska really can not describe how he feels at this time. However, it was very clear in the eyes of the honey-haired woman, that she was happy. The wing that once never existed, now seems to grow and carry himself wherever he wants.
