This topic touched my heart with a speed of lightning. "I wish my father could understand". A statement I found my best friend saying almost every other day. Here's why....
She's from a rich family. Her parents gave her the best education they could afford. They taught her to think modern and did not allow any negative ray touch her. She literally grew up in a fairyland. She knew no pain and did not know how cruel the world can be. She decided to complete high school staying at a hostel.
