Confession is Courage.

Why do you drink that stinking tonic everyday daddy??? dad replies because I get frustrated at job, so doctor told to drink this tonic indicating to the beer bottle in his hand so that dad gets relaxed and sleep tight. 
 
Dad returns from the work tired, a very poor chemistry and misunderstanding leads to a fight b/w husband and wife. Yelling husband closes himself in a room. Peeking from the key hole, daughter sees his father drinking the tonic and knocks the door. Drunken father fail to answer!! Been disappointed kid start walking towards her mother, busy in front of computer ; working mother ask her daughter to go to sleep, since she had some important meeting in the morning, she had to work whole night so that she yell at her 9yr to go to her room and not to distrub her.

Scared kid at her moms temper unable to tell her mother that she was starving since she had nothing for dinner silently walk towards kitchen hopping to find something in the freezer. As she open the freezer she seems disappointed looking at the empty vessels, in a corner she see her dad “tonic bottle” she remember the chat with her dad the other day and whisper to herself "dad drink this to get sleep" and slowly left the heavy bottle trying to get a grip , unwillingly she starts to drink the content in a hope to get some sleep. The heavy bottle skips from her hand and hit the ground. Hearing to the noise both the parents rush towards the kitchen. They go numb at the sight, their 9yr on the ground bleeding with the broken glass of beer bottle all over her.

In hospital worried and scared parents wait impatiently to know their child condition. Doctor walks towards them and ask in a fury tone “Why is your 9yr old drunk??” dad try to explain “she must have mistaken it as some juice since it was kept in freezer and we both were out working” and doctor reacts in anger “Why do you people give birth when you don’t know how to take care” and throw a disgusted look saying “she is empty stomach and drunk and you both explaining it like this” slapped by the words of doctor their head lowers in shame .Doctor “be ashamed of yourself you’re the reason for your daughter’s condition ,now a pieces of glass as cut very deep, we need to do surgery immediately” kid’s father nod his head in acceptance to everything and signs few papers.

Husband turns towards his wife and scouts at her “if something happen to my child Ill sue you, it’s because of you!! You forgot about dinner and that’s why all this happened, what sort of mother are you “hearing to this wife replies “don’t you dare!! You’re the reason she is drunk and I’m going to case you for that. Why in the world I had to marry a drunken ass like you, you’re just a curse” she grumbles in anger. Reacting to this, husband raises his hand on her. Seeing them fight the hospital authority asks them to leave or to shut their mouth. 

Husband and wife both get settle in different directions. Sobbing mother look at the hanging mother marry calendar in front of her, the joy and look on the infant Jesus turns her pale, with a guilt within she look away from the calendar. In another corner helpless father pray for his 9yr, all of the sudden he opens his eyes to see a nurse standing in front of him with the most beautiful smile, he had ever seen in his life, sparking eyes filled with courage, flawless skin. She taps on his shoulder and ask what happened?? Hearing to those honey dipped voice he splits out everything. With a smirk nurse replies “don’t you think you should punish your wife for not feeding the child in time??” his voice raise and he yell “that bitch is the reason for everything; let her suffer, ill divorces her then she will understand my value.” The nurse smirk and replies “yes your right teach her a lesson, before that what about your mistake” he looks confused, the nurse continues “and what about your child when you both get separated .Before punishing someone else faults, learn to confess your mistakes first and look at the anger man. Knowing his share of mistake he remains silent and his head lower in shame. The nurse continues “if this is your final decision regarding your marriage! I think if your daughter stop fighting for her life will be good, since any ways her future life seems painfully in between her parents ego.” Hearing someone complaining on him, an unknown anger rushes through his vain and yell at the nurse “have you lost your mind?? She is just 9yrs and that’s my daughter you’re talking about! How dare you to speak such words in front of me “he closes his eyes shouting “get lost! She is my life, my family “unknown to what he just said he opens his eyes and find he was talking to himself in middle of people nowhere to be found all around him, he gets scared and He starts looking all around for the nurse and sings his wife weeping in a corner.

As he notice a pale, weeping face of his loved one; he rush towards her and slowly run his hand over her head. She looks up broken and hugs him and sob out sorry. Husband slowly whisper “I love you and I’m sorry too for been a jerk” reacting to this, wife hug him tight. Doctor run out of the operation theater “which one of yours is O+, we need blood. Father rush “I’m O+ “but doctor rejects “since your alcoholic we can’t take your blood, I’m sorry but don’t worry we’ll figure out something” hearing to this a guilt break free and he fall apart frozen, wondering what went wrong, how his habits were becoming cruse to his family ,he try to fight back his tears and look up at the calendar of mother marry and suddenly feel numb at the smiling face and recognize those sparking eyes he had just seen in the nurse and stay shaken at fact unknown to react, tear run over his cheeks he slowly whisper in a weak tone “I’m sorry, please save my child” and collapse on his wife lap.

After 3hr doctor come out with a surprised smile and tell it’s a miracle, she is out of danger. Hearing to this, they feel alive and rush towards their daughter. Weak innocent eyes slowly struggle to open, looking at her sobbing parents holding her feet, the child slowly moves her leg away from them and slowly whisper “daddy” he holds her hand as she continue” I’m sorry for breaking your tonic bottle “ he smirk at her innocences and he kiss on her forehead.
