‘urg!! the smell’ everyone complains. Mother says,” what a false smell in our toilet?” We often clean the toilet but why does it smell like cigarette?”
I don’t know why that smells like cigarette, but I have got some assumptions. Our home is just by the side of busy road where big tippers and loader pass by. Whenever, it arrive close to our front yard, all the nonsense air enter inside all over home. It is probably the same smokes which might have entered inside the toilet or maybe someone might have smoked in the road and that smell might have remained there.
But, What I feel is that smell of cigarette reminds me of my father. I want to imagine that that my father came to visit us when we weren’t here. He might have checked everything like he used to do when he was alive. I am not superstitious but I just thought to comfort myself and my mother that he often visits us.
My father used to smoke everyday nearly 4-5 cigarettes. When I was child, I had never thought to make complains but when I got older, I used to throw them, hide the packet, sometime pat on his back and scold not to smoke. But he had habit and of course he couldn’t ignore it. He also used to pick up the cigarette which I used to throw. When I was far from my home, then when somebody smokes in the outdoor. I don’t much used to feel nonsense, because they made to think about my father, though I hate him smoking. Surprisingly, sometime, I used to like that smell as well. Probably because I might have missed him.
Now, remains is the memory of my father and his smell with us. Wish he had really come to visit us, assuming that life never ends.
