 “I am sorry miss, I don’t have time to talk,” said Professor Brian impatiently.

“But you must talk to me sir,” said June pleadingly. She took hold of his arm and held him as forcefully as she could.

“Please let me go!” demanded the professor.

“I won’t let you go not until you listen to me first,” June stated steadily.

“Children of this generation will never seize to amaze me” murmured the professor.

“What’s happening here?” asked Tom, a colleague of Professor Brian.

This crazy lady is insisting on talking with me yet I have no time to talk to strangers,” said Professor Brian annoyingly.

“A stranger?” asked June shockingly.

“Now who is speaking the truth, professor are you sure that you don’t know this lady?” asked Tom confusedly.

“He is pretending that he does not know me,” June interrupted rudely.

“Can you please tell her to unhand me it’s really shameful,” said the professor.

“I just need ten minutes of your time,” June pleaded.

“Okay then, I will allow you to have my ten minutes make sure that every minute counts,” said the professor.

“Was that hard to do in the first place? You have wasted a lot of time arguing here,” tom said irritably.

“I’m sorry, Professor Brian. The last thing that your students and employer wants to hear is the ill-informed speculations about you”.

“That is good and well thoughtful of you,” said Professor Brian convincingly.

“I have had my fears of this issue for a very long time,” said June.

“I can sense that this will take a whole day the story seems endless,” said Tom jokingly.

“No! It will just take few more minutes; I am your biological child! ” said June convincingly.

“What is happening” Tom complained. “Come on give us a break, everybody knows how faithful professor Brian is and that he is a married man of only two children and definitely that’s not you, “ said Tom confidently.

I know that he is a reputable man and everyone admires him for being a family man, but it is only true to say that things are not usually the way they appear to be, is that right daad?” asked June sarcastically.

“Surely there must be a proof as you cannot expect us to believe all this nonsense,” said Tom annoyingly.

“Can all of you stop arguing!” shouted Professor Brian.

“What took you so long to come to me? I thought you went to live in Quebec, Canada,” said Professor Brian softly.

“I always tried to reach out to you but you are a hard man who hardly has time for anyone,” said June softly.

“Ooh my God, the stranger is someone’s daughter,” said Tom jokingly.

“Yes Tom, she is my first born daughter we separated with her mother long before I got married and I never knew that she was pregnant not until recently,” said professor Brian.

“Why didn’t you come to find me?” asked June sorrowfully.

“I was not sure that I was ready to face you yet,” said Professor Brian apologetically.

“I just needed your acknowledgement as a father, I am sorry for taking much of your time,” said June looking at her watch.

Not at all June I have all the time for you, said Professor Brian caringly.

 Embracing her daughter they all shed tears of joy.
