Many years ago, my father, who was 80 at that time, arrived for his regular two-week visit at my home in Karachi.He lived with my elder brother in Lahore most of the time and for ten years had stuck to his habit of going for an hour--long morning walk to keep fit. In Lahore he would walk around a nark that is quite close to my brother’s house. Naturally, he was keen to continue his morning walk while with us in Karachi.
Our preferred park is a 2 km walk from my house and it has a l km walking track.I could not drive him there every day as I had to leave for the office at the same time he wanted to set out. Since there are hardly any footpaths in Karachi,my father said he was delighted to walk on the road as he was certain there wouldn’t be much traffic in the morning.
I was less confident so I suggested it would be safer if he changed his walk time to the evening. That way I could take him to the park after work.However,my father-a determined person-said that he could not change his routine for just a few days and insisted that he would be leaving the house every day at 7 am and returning by 8 am.He started doing this and stuck firmly to his schedule.So one day when he had not returned by 8:30 am, my wife, Qaisa, phoned me in a panic. Worried I immediately drove home, taking the same route that my father would have taken for his walk.
Not spotting him anywhere, I went to the police station to report my father’s disappearance. The station house officer advised me to wait until midnight before filling the report.Since it was only 10 am, I drove back to the park, in the hope of discovering some trace but in vain.Totally at a loss for what to do next, I returned home and waited impatiently walking back and forth in the house.
