SILENCE OF LOVE
Thong Chai is a mute father who lives in
a run-down house along with his beloved daughter of sixteen-years old named
Sukanya. They lived in a poor condition without a mother. He is just a noodle
soup seller.
Thong
Chai loves Sukanya very much and willing to sacrifice everything for her
daughter even though he has no ability like other normal person out there. He
always tells her daughter to study hard and eat more to get taller. He also
“speak” to other person out there that “My girl must live a happy life”. While
Sukanya is actually a girl who easily influence by her friends and
surroundings. She always said that “I want a better dad”, “the one who is not a
mute”, “the one who can hear my voice and know what I want”.
One
day, she has been mocked by her schoolmates. They said that to Sukanya “The
dumbs child”, “Your dad’s a dumb”, causes her to argue with them and felt
really frustrated and he decided to go out with her boyfriend and went home
late. That makes her father mad because of worrying about her daughter’s
safety.
When Sukanya reach home, she had an
argument with her father as she couldn’t accept her father’s advice and she
blamed her father because of his disability. Thong Chai couldn’t do anything
about that as long as her daughter reached home safely.
………………
When
it comes to Sukanya's birthday, her father has prepared to make a surprise by
buying a small birthday cake and he even trained his self how to wish his
daughter in the best possibly way as he could just to make her daughter happy
and know that he loves her very much which are “I’m born mute. I’m so sorry. I
can’t speak like anybody else’s dad”, “but I just want you to know that you are
my everything”.
On
that day, suddenly Thong Chai noticed that Sukanya came home then straight to
her room and lock the door. He suspicious of her daughter’s action. He quickly
went to Sukanya’s room and knocked the door, but there is no any response. He
quickly smashed the door to reach Sukanya.
Unfortunately,
on that night Sukanya was trying to murder herself as she felt so depressed and
lifeless by slitting her wrist using a knife that cause her running out of
blood and fainted.
In a state of shock and fear, as quickly as possible Thong Chai carried her
daughter in his arms and dragged her daughter out of the house and try to find
somebody to fetch both of them to the hospital as soon as possible. At the
hospital, when the nurse quickly brought Sukanya to the wad. Thong Chai tried
to explain to the doctor that he willing to give everything he have just to
ensure that her daughter is safe. He said that “Please don’t let her die!”, “I
have a some saved up money, I have a house, you can take it!”
A few minutes
later, the doctor told her father that her daughter Sukanya having a critical
situation which is blood loss. He quickly informed the doctor that he wanted to
donate his blood.
At the time when Sukanya was
conscious, she realized that her father was just beside while donating his
blood. The beads of water started falling down one after another on her cheeks
without a sign of stopping because she felt regret of her bad doings towards
her father.
Finally, she realized that her father’s doing all this
while, it’s all for her.“Maybe.. there is no such thing as the best dad. Only the one who loves you more than anything.”
"There are no perfect fathers, but a father will always love perfectly".
Remember to care for those who care for you.
