Truth or Dad?

The brakes slammed!

‘Thud’! The bike plowed into the auto rickshaw!

"Ouch," the boy cried!

The girl bent down with her heavy bag to pick up the mobile phone and the coins which had fallen out of the father's shirt's pocket.

"Dad, you okay?" Asked the boy to his father.

Shaken but less hurt, the three of them thanked the crowd who had helped them lift the bike.

 "Don't you know to cross properly, you fool?!" The father yelled angrily at the auto driver.

"Sir, I am sorry. But I was careful while crossing," said the auto driver.

 It had been driving up to the school opposite before which this happened. He apologized and offered to drop the kids home in his vehicle if he couldn't ride properly due to the external injury.

The father had to accept the offer.

 'Is he so kind or kind just because he feels he is guilty?' thought the girl all the way to home.

 "Thank you, Uncle!" the boy greeted the auto driver while getting off.

 He smiled at the boy and looked at the father to say,"Sir, you had been watching somewhere else when I was about to cross and thus you didn't notice my vehicle crossing."

'Oh yes! He is right. I remember Dad looking at the shop on the roadside at that time but.... How do I tell? It would seem that I am against him! What do I do? It's not the auto driver's mistake,’ all these thoughts flashed in the girl’s mind.  

She was matured enough to understand that this could hurt her father's ego.

Truth? Or Dad?

Tensed!

She shook her head, though reluctantly. 

The auto driver smiled and said "Look, she agrees!" She looked at her father with no expression, thinking what to do now! What would Dad think about her?

 How awkward it was to be scared of such a thing because there was a close relation! A father and a daughter!

"Maybe! Okay no problem, you may go," the father said to the auto driver and smiled!
A placid reaction from Dad! 

The girl's satisfaction knew no bounds!
