-1 Father's day short story 2019

Yesterday was Father's day, Athena saw all the other kids are celebrating it with their father and she is a bit confused as she never knows anything about having a father or Father's day. "Sal kun, Sal kun, what is Father's day?" out of the blue, Athena throws out this question to Sal who is trying to fix a vase that is accidentally broke by Athena. "Father's day is a day where you appreciate a father... I guess." as a fellow person without parents, he is confused as well. "Hmm... When I'm still with Greek Gods, they like to say that I don't have a father, I wonder how is it feels with a father and what is it to classify someone as a father?" She asked again and this question really gets Sal to a totally silent state, he himself doesn't know about the answer. "A father is a person who gives you life and identity." said Dark Prince who was there all the time getting slightly annoyed as those two continuously distracted his work. Those two look at Dark Prince still a bit confused. "Since you two are free enough, why don't you go out and find the answer you want." said Dark Prince. "Ah! Good idea! Sal kun! Take the notebook!" said Athena. "Wait! Why me?" said Sal while getting drag out by Athena. And thus, they start their journey of finding 'what's the meaning of being a father'.

Their first destination is Chris' s office. "Wait a minute! Why is this the first destination? Aren't the most important place should be the last destination?" Sal ask. "Because Rei chama is here!" said Athena. "Rei chama, Rei chama, what is a father?" said Athena while snuggling at Rei's arm. "A father, hmm... A father is a person who gives all of his love and cares to their children and grants all of their wishes as long as it is reachable and not a bad thing." said Rei, which Athena gives an 'Oh! I get it!' look. "Do you want to know about mother too?" Rei asks. "No, I already know that. Mother is, Rei chama!" said so Athena hugged Rei, Chris who was working at the working desk turned around, look at them and smile. "Your Majesty, what do you think about that, being a father." Said Sal who was helping Chris in arranging some documents on the desk. "Hmm... Let's see, a father is someone who will raise their children into a fine person through their own way, most of the time their children may not like it but it's their way showing their care and concern." said Chris, then he noticed that Athena is staring at a crystal bird figure on his desk which was given by The Alliance as a diplomatic tribute. "You are interested at this?" Chris asks, Athena hides behind Rei but still looking at the figure. Chris laughed a bit and handed the crystal bird to Athena, Athena look at Chris with a surprised look, she never expects that tyranny King who is really strict to her will give something so valuable to her. "Hei-chan... Thank you." then she accepts the present. "It's Heika. (Your Majesty)" Chris tried to fixed her way of addressing him. "Mmm... Hei chan." "Haha... Never mind." and he gave up.

Then they headed to the infirmary, Ben is sipping a cup of black coffee, he is having some free time as the infirmary is quite empty today. "Be-chan, Be-chan, what's the meaning of a father." Athena ask. "You mean in biology theories or..." Ben is a little bit confused with the sudden question, then Sal explained the situation to him. "I see... Father is a person that has responsibilities to teach their children knowledge and skills they know, at the same time will give help and consults when they facing problems." said Ben. Those two nodded and about to leave. "Since you are here, why not doing some body check before leaving." said Ben. "Oh... Okay." said the two.

Next, which is also the last target, training room. Sky just finish doing some intensive training, his muscle imprinted nicely on his sports singlet. "Sora kun, Sora kun, what's the meaning of being a father?"Athena ask. "A father huh? A man will be a father when he slept..." Before he could finish his sentence, he gets smacked on head by Chris who appears out of nowhere. "Seriously, what the hell are you even thinking." said Chris, in his hand is a small box of cookies that is freshly made by Rei. "Is that for me? Rei chan is really nice!" Sky is about to take that box of cookies. "Not so fast, answer Athena's question properly first." said Chris. "Alright alright..." said Sky

"In my opinion, the most significant thing of being a father is to love and protect their children in any situation. A lot of times, they might seem to not care at all about their children but they are protecting them secretly, to ensure they are safe and happy. For example, when you going out late, they will be mad at you but will still come and fetch you with his old modeled motorcycle when you have no transport to go home at night or whenever you did a mistake or caused troubles, he will be really mad at you and might even say that you are not qualified as his child but still they will cover your mistake and bear that responsibility for you. He is not good at expressing his love, but his love and care are always there for you..." They all quietly listen to Sky's words which really pierced directly into their hearts. "So, how was that? Can I have the cookies now?" said Sky. "For the god sake, why do you have to ruin this meaningful moment you yourself have created." said Chris while giving the cookies to him with a sharp leer. Then Sky took the cookie box, opened it and hand it to Athena. "Here, have some cookies." he smiled.

Sal looks at all these and smiled. "Who said you don't have a father? You have like four of them." he thought while looking at Athena who is happily eating the cookies.
