I am posting a novel soon titled: 'My Daughter and I' It is a novel that reveals advice towards young ladies by using the conversation and life interaction of a father and his daughter. Using the imagery of an ideal father counselling his daughter in issues, this novels impart a wealth of wisdom gotten from depths. It uses a conversational approach to make it seem animated and lively hence it is interesting despite being counsel. Also I deliberately exempted any religious sentiments or influences to make it an interesting read for all; religious or not, atheist or believer. So everyone will enjoy it, subsequent novels will have a touch of spiritual experiences and wisdom(not religious o; so don't expect christianity or anything of the sort) The novel employs a psychological approach to issues and gives wisdom while revealing an intimate and loving relationship between a father and his daughter. If you've not experienced the presence of a father or have had irresponsible parents(like some African parents), you could experience the joy of having a good and loving father. If you have a responsible and understanding father then this will help you empathise with the young girl in this novel so it's an interesting read for everyone I'm gonna post it chapter by chapter till it is fully exhausted but other details till I start posting. Meanwhile WATCH OUT!!!

Synopsis

Have you ever wondered what it was like to have the ideal parents, the parents you wished for. The one who was caring enough to see your pains and comfort you, understanding enough even when you are rebellious, loving enough to spoil you, and disciplined enough to keep you from straying and most importantly WISE as a SAGE that his words are as valuable as gold.

Well meet my Dad then, I call Him the Ideal Father and why and why This is the story...

CHAPTER ONE
"Bye Daddy," Princess screamed in my ears
as she ran out.
"Come, give Daddy a peck before you go," I
said to her as she ran. She came back
cheerfully and I enveloped her in a hug
while lightly pecking her cheeks
"It's okay, Daddy and Daughter, don't make
my daughter late", my wife said.
"Haha, you forget she is my daughter too," I
replied laughing and then continued, now
to princess, "Don't mind you mom dear, she
is jealous cause I'm pecking you. Go with
the driver to school, my beautiful girl"
"More beautiful than mum?" Princess
questioned, with a silly smile on her face.
Her mom then stood arms akimbo, all
attentive to hear my reply.
"Hmmmmm... I love you my Princess but...
Your mom, my own baby us more beautiful,"
I replied smiling. Princess had intitally been
smiling but now she pouted and gave me an
annoyed look, My Baby on her part was
grinning from ear to ear.
I ignored both of them, and waving Princess
bye handed her an enveloped note as she
entere the car.
So I know you guys are wondering at the
entire story as I did not even give a
background information. So actually, Baby is
my wife; we met in school some many years
ago and fell in love though I have always
insisted that she fell first but that's not
necessary. I am an enterpreneur and own a
Communications company while I manage
real estate assets as well as write books. My
wife is a staff nurse at a government
hospital and she is busy most of the time, I
am the freer one and have a lot of time.
Three years into our marriage, she gave
birth to our first child, a girl and I named her
'Princess'. I knew I had a difficult task ahead
and great responsibility as a father seeing
she was a girl, so I took over the job of
caring for her since my wife was mostly
busy. Thinking now, Princess must have
actually known more of her Dad than her
Mum since she spent more time with me.
I have been her best friend and counsellor
for over a decade and as she is now
stepping into her final year in High School, I
have to double my efforts.
So that's the boring story, now to the
present...
Princess was thinking as she sat in the
backseat of the car, she picked up the sealed
envelope and carefully opened it. Inside was
a folded note, she unfolded it and read
"My love for you is as the dew in
the morning
It falls on the dry ground of
your heart
It cools your heart
And calms your mind"
-Dad
Princess, take this as an expression of my
love and admiration for you. You are a smart
and beautiful girl and you're a true
manifestation of your name; you are a
beautiful 'Princess' so carry yourself like one.
Love from Dad
-Dad
She smiled and folded the note back, making
a note to keep it in her safe where she kept
similar articles from her Dad. She always
enjoyed the show of affection and the
thought made her blush. 'Dad is the best,'
she concluded.
END OF CHAPTER ONE

So I will try as much as possible to be regular in my updates but will try to give it some space as it is a very short novel, and focuses more on imparting wisdom and counsel than just for a satisfaction of reading.

But I will still be regular so expect the next update

CHAPTER 2
PRINCESS IN SCHOOL

It was a bright sunny afternoon and as the
cool breeze of the evening came down, I felt
relaxed under the tree which I sat in the
garden. I was reading a book titled 'BLOOD;
the art of priesthood' by Peter Olugbemi
and was really absorbed till a cry broke in on
my thoughts.
"Dad, I am home!" Princess cried, waving to
me desperately from afar. I stood up to hug
her and gave her a peck on her forehead.
"Welcome home darling, how was school?" I
asked with a funny tone.
"School is fine Dad, where is mom? I want to
have a chat with you about school today
and give you some gist," she said with some
eagerness.
"First go shower and change your clothes,
then come to see me. As for your mom, she
is on duty again," I replied
She came back minutes later to meet a table
with a chair and a bottle of water as well as
two cups placed on the opposite ends of the
table. She wore a white T shirt and jean
trousers, she had packed her hair into a bun
at the back to avoid it falling across her face,
but now she released it in full glory,
reaching her shoulders, all black and shiny.
Princess was a beautiful and attractive girl,
more reason for me to remain responsible.
"Sit down dear, and tell me all you wanted
to," I said to her as she sat down.
"Dad, today was very interesting. Within few
minutes of reaching school, the bell was
rung. Then this boring teacher came to class
after the assemble and took some minutes
of our time all all those bla bla bla. Can you
believe it? We have a new student, male and
he is cute but he seems kinda proud."
Princess said in one breath, rushing through
her words. She is reserved but can be pretty
talkative when she finds you an attentive
audience. I smiled at her, then shaking my
head I spoke
"Princess, you and your funny words, how
can you tag your teacher boring? Could it be
the History teacher you told me about
previously?" She nodded in assent and I
continued, "History is actually a very cool and
interesting subject if you put your mind into
it, it kinda helps you to travel into the past,
like time travel. That apart, the guy you were
talking about, you know... The cute guy,
what's his name and why do you think he's
proud?"
Princess made a face at me before she
replied, "I know you love books, that's one
with you titled hmmm..." she said as she
strained to see it "yeah, titled 'The Voices I
Hear', that's a matter for later discussion
though. Back to our guy, his name is Richard
and I think he's proud 'cause he just kinda
isolated himself from the rest and refused to
give proper and full responses to questions
asked. The guy gives of an arrogant vibe,
just sitting down and turning down every
interaction"
I smiled again and took a long sip of the
glass of water in my hand, "Princess calm
down and listen, it is normal to feel
uncomfortable on reaching a new
environment so its a perfectly normal
reaction to refrain from interaction,
otherwise would have been suspicious. On
the other hand, people are different and
different people possess different
temperament. He might be a Melancholic or
Phlegmatic and might not be the assertive
Sanguine or Choleric. Thinking deeper, for
you to observe and study him so much,
perhaps you might like him and have
feelings of goodwill towards him.
Psychologically, people tend to focus more
on what they like, or... Is it" I ended the
speech with a sly smile on my face.
"No Daddy, No! Definitely No!. How could you
imagine that, how could I even ike him?? I
don't want to talk about it, No!" Princess
insisted as she shook her head vehemently.
"The firmer you reject, the more obvious
your affection is and the deeper your
feelings," I said, "Anyways that apart, go
prepare tonight's meal, the night's here
already. We will continue our discussion by
weekend and I will educate you about
'Teenagers and Crushes'. I will most likely be
busy the rest of this week," I concluded and
finished the water remaining in my glass. I
picked my book up and continued reading.

CRUSHES, FEELINGS & TEENS
CHAPTER 3

The dsicussion the other day had ended halfway, and I and Princess did not really have much time for discussions over two successive days till weekend. It was a saturday morning and everyone was free; even her mom was at home.

"Dad, good morning, are you ready for our discussion? You promised me right? You can't escape," Princess said in her cute adorable manner with a sweet voice. I was meditating in the sitting room when she entered.

"My little baby, come and sit here," I gestured "Are you done reading that book?" I continued

She replied, "Is it the book about ladies' psychology in relations to their emotions and feelings?" I nodded and she continued "yeah dad, but I have some questions I would love to ask"

"Go on my dear, but before then, get me a bottled water from the fridge," I said as I relaxes fully on the couch, ready for the discussion ahead which I knew would be a long one.

Princess sat beside me on the sitting room's couich and started "Dad, first on the issue of 'crush', what is a crush and how does it develop?"

I took a deep breath before I answered, "my dear, a crush is an emotional feeling or hormonal reaction towards a person of the opposite gender usually due to certain attractive qualities in the person; it is common among the young generation and mostly teenagers." I sipped my glass of water and continued

"A crush begins from the focus your mind has, and which it places on a particular quality in the person, it might be the beauty, intelligence, fashion sense or any other thing. In such case, that attractive quality now seems to be extraordinary such that you find yourself thinking constantly about the person. Like that cute guy for instance, eeerm... Yeah Richard! You might like him due to something," I paused as Princess made a face at me before replying

"Is a crush good or bad? What is the best means of dealing with it especially as a lady dad?" Princess asked. I smiled as I spoke.

"Princess, your definition of goof and bad should not be fixed, it should be ever changing according to situations and people. We all know that stealing is bad but when 'Robin Hood' steals from the corrupted rich to help the helpless poor, we consider it good. This is not to encourage stealing or prove that it is good but just to say that good and evil are ever changing variables and not constant, it as well differs in each perspective.

"In this case, a crush in itself as an emotional and hormonal reaction is not bad. The reason you crush, who you crush upon and effects of your crush is the major determinant in the goodness or otherwise. To effectively deal with a crush, do you know my advice?"

Princess' mom entered to inform us that the table is prepared and that we should come to eat before the food grows cold. I agreed to her suggestion and we took a break.

CHAPTER 4

CRUSHES, FEELINGS & TEENS 2

After eating, Princesss urged me to continue dishing her my advice. I took my glass of water in my hand as usual and continued

"Do you know my advice?" I asked rhetorically, "Be realistic; know that you are still young and no serious relationship can develop or is needed for now, realign your feelings and keep them on a platonic level," I stopped to take a sip of water and continued

"Crushing is a form of admiration which when boosted by teenage hormones is termed as love, so let your feelings simply remain at the stage of admiration," I concluded and stared at Princess expectantly.

She was first silent, trying to process what I said, she then spoke "okay dad, but why does it occur frequently in teens and majorly ladies?" I smiled again and refilled my cup before I spoke

"You do yourself an injustice my Princess. How do you feel as a lady about the way I treat you?" I asked

"I feel happy, loved and appreciated. It also boosts my confidence and renews my self-esteem. More importantly I feel truly love," she replied with a smile on her face.

I adjusted myself on the couch and began, "ladies are emotional beings Princess, they are naturally created with a hyped emotional mind, that's why they get easily excited, love easily, get heartbroken easily, make silly mistakes and forgive easily. They follow their hearts(emotions) more that their head(logic) and as such, if there is no mature guidance on their path, they end up making serious mistakes. That's one reason I pay serious attention to you," I smiled and continued

"Now to your question on why teens. You see, when these guys reach puberty, their hormones reaches a peak and rages, also most of them are tender little sprouts with no experience facing the harsh weather of life and without a strong old tree to shelter them, they fall prey to emotions and hormones which they take as the best judge of their feelings but it's wrong. It's your logic, assisted by knowledge that is the best judge and with advice from the older folks with a lot of experience," I concluded and finished my glass of water again.

"Exactly sweetheart, your words are true to the extreme, your feelings needs to be defined and pass certain tests before it counts as genuine. Why do you like him/her? Will it improve you in any way? Do you admire mere superficial qualities or genuine ones? Will a relationship be helpful at this stage? Does my body just want to satisfy its lust? And many others, it is something that should pass through a lot of checks before being entertained," my wife concluded as she joined our conversation

"Thanks Dad, thanks Mom. You guys love me best," Princess said and as she stood up she gave both of us a peck before going to her room to prepare for school the next day. I settled down to continue my meditation.

FASHION, DRESSING AND DECENCY CHAPTER 5 That same evening when my wife and I sat in the garden relaxing and drinking juices, Princess came in as usual with and ejaculation of
"Dad, I want to see you." I readjusted myself on my seat to welcome her
"Let me show you the love letter a silly guy wrote to me in school," she said with a smile. I relacked and stretched my right hand to collect the note which she handed to me
"The guy was so poor in writing love letters, his letter was not romantic, duh..." Princess said, laughing as she spoke.
"Princess... You've come with your funny attitude again, can a letterbe romantic?" I asked, feigning surprise
"It can be, you write them a lot. Your letters far surpasses this boring one. When the guy told me he loves me and I was beautiful, I was like 'my dad tells me that everyday, tell me more,' he was too embarassed to continue, hahahahaha," Princess spoke again, her words choked with laughter.
I smiled again, she received her first love letter from me and I was her number one admirer.
"Dad, one of my friends is hosting a birthday part next weekend, can I go and what dress do you suggest I put on?" Princess asked. I looked at her for some seconds before I spoke
"Do you remember some months ago, when you were about to go for an occassion with a particular dress and I bluntly refused. You were quite angry then, I remember. You even almost cut off communication with me during that period. It was one of the few times I refused you and do you know why?"
She shook her head in negative and said "No, and I was too angry to ask then"
"I will give you an answer tomorrow evening as well as tell you some things about fashion and dressing that will guide you in making the correct choice of attire, its my meditation time and I need silence," and that ended the conversation that day.
The next day, I had already prepared a table and two chairs in the garden under a cool tree and i relaxed, awaiting Princes while I listened to some soothing music from an American singer. Her mom was absent as usual and we were all alone in the house.
I heard Princess enter the house and go to shower. She changed to a nice pink evening gown and came to meet me with a bottle water and two glass cups on a tray. She smiled as she approached but was hindered from running due to the tray she carried, she had to simply shout
"Evening dad, I missed you. Now let's have our discussion" I smiled as she placed the tray on the tray on the table and bent down to receive a peck on the cheeks. I readjusted myself on the chair and spoke
"Princess, I missed you too. How're you doing? Now you can attack me with your questions."
"I'm fine dad, okay to my questions. Why did you refuse to allow me to wear that dress to the party?" Princess asked with some eagerness. I smiled before I answered
"Okay Princess, let me ask you a question, why did you choose that particular dress for that party?"
Princess thought for a bit before replying, "Dad, it was the latest cloth then, besides it was a party and I had to look fashionable."
I smiled widely now and as I was about to reply, a phone call interrupted me.

CHAPTER 7

ROMANCE AND SEX(DATING AND
RELATIONSHIPS)

It's been few weeks since Princess and I
had any serious discussion, and this was
due to the fact that I had to go on a
business trip to negotiate a particularly
important deal for my company. I later won
the deal though, but it took me away from
my lovely Princess for few weeks.

Her mom
had to take a leave to stay with her. We
communicated on phone every evening of
course, but no serious discussion ensued. I
returned home on a weekend, early in the
morning and met a family excited to see me.

"I missed you so much Dad. Don't you dare
do this to me again hun?" Princess said with
some annoyance

"Sorry baby," I said, drawing her close in an
embrace and giving her a peck, "I missed
you too," I continued and looked past her to
my wife who had come out also. We hugged
ourselves and we went inside the house to
settle down.

After all the greetings and welcome, by
evening I had settled down and was by my
usual place in the garden with a bottle of
water and glass cup.

Princess came out to meet me where I sat
under the shade and said "Dad, I've wanted
to have a discussion with you for long."

"It's plain obvious, I see," I replied noticing
her restlessness.

"So you know how I narrated how Richard
asked me out to you over the phone,"
Princess began

"And I can see that you've been seriously
considering the proposal," I concluded. She
looked shocked, I smiled at her before I
continued

"Don't be surprised dear, I am your Dad and
I do know you very well. Have a seat and
let's have a chat." She sat down and I
poured her a glass of water.

"Do you know my thoughts as regards
dating and relationships?" I asked, she
shook her head in the negative.

"Remind me tomorrow evening to welcome
your questions on that topic as well as
anything pertaining to 'Romance & Sex,' for
now, I want us to just chat and gist
ourselves and stare at your face till I feel I've
recovered all the time I spent away from
you." I concluded and stopped speaking.

Princess had just arrived from school the
next day and after freshening up met me
asleep on the couch. She did not want to
wake me up so she sat down to await my
waking up. Her wait might have been futile
but I made sure to prepare an alarm
beforehand so I woke up. She quickly ran to
me, hugging me and persuading me to
hurry as regards our discussion.

I came to my usual spot in the garden and
she served me a bottled water on a tray. She
waited expectantly while I sipped on the
glass of water.

"Okay Princess, let me welcome your
questions, " I started. She looked at me and
smiled and said

"Cool then Dad, my first question is that is it
right to have a boyfriend or girlfriend, most
especially at this stage?" I smiled at her
before I answered

Wanna know her Dad's reply

CHAPTER 8
ROMANCE AND SEX(DATING AND RELATIONSHIP)
"Dear, do you know what every relationship is about?" I asked and without waiting for a reply I continued "value; that's just it. Every relationship from family to friendship to enmity to marriage even up to your relationship with God is all centered around value. The value each of you provide to each other in such relationship." I sipped on my glass and continued
"I don't like giving definite answers regarding issues as this because I believe that each person's reaction varies based on the situation. Now let me explain what I mean by value; the ultimate aim of every relationship is to bring gain or improvement to the parties involved in the long run so as regards any relationship including having a boyfriend/girlfriend, the first thing to consider is value. What he/she can add to your life matters a lot. Some boyfriend/ girlfriend relationship causes deterioration in a student's academic performance, such relationship should be avoided, it's toxic. But some relationships strenghtens a student's performance and infact complements him/ her, such relationships should be encouraged. That's the first aspect-value".
I paused for a bit, looked at Princess to see if she understood and I saw that she was attentive, I therefore continued "The second thing is as regards 'motive,' what's your reason for desiring to have a relationship with the person. Is it money, lust or what? Your motives must be clear, reasonable and well defined. The final and most important thing is that what will you guys do in your relationship? What set of actions will you perform? That's where we come down to sex and romance." I stopped, smiled and then finished the water in my glass completely, I refilled it again and continued
"Let me ask you Princess, if you finally get a boyfriend what will your relationship be full of. Is it simply romantic texts in the moening, hugs and kisses, passionates chats into the nights and long periods spent on calls or what? Define what you want in a relationship before you jump into one else you will make serious mistakes that will chase you out. Do you want Romance or need something tangible. Will your relationship be full of serious discussions about your life, career and future, about serious issues affecting both of you and providing counsels that will guide bothj of you in making right choices or what"
"You are no longer a kid Princess. I know you know about sex, infact some of your friends might have engaged it it before and encourage you to do the same. You might have imagined how it would be and if rumours you've hear about it are correct. Different talks on virginity and the likes; let me enlighten you on the right thing. Sex is an intimate relationship between two or more people of the same or opposute gender with the involvement of sexual organs to stimulate pleasure. Sex is good and enjoyable, yes but it should be placed under the strict confines of marriage, why?"
"Marriage is an agreement between two people to stay faithful and together till death do them part, so it is safe to have sex in marriage due to the security of having a single partner and no fear or break up and instability which is common is girlfriend/ boyfriend relationships, not considering other spiritual and societal consequaences associated with pre-marital sex".
"Delete from your mind any misinformation regaring sex and virginity. Marriage is still honourable with the bed undefiled. Virginity still has dignity and bears honour. Any unhealthy relationship that does not add value to you or improve you should not be considered. I love you my dear, so make your decision as regards the words I've spoken. Good Night Dear," I concluded and stopped speaking
"Thanks Dad, I love you much more, thanks for the enlightenment, Good Night," Princess said and I pecked her as she went to bed; the atmosphere was slightly heavy tonight due to the seriousness of the discussion but truth had to be said.

CHAPTER 9

EDUCATION AND LEARNING

I laid down on the bed and I was meditating. The week has been a busy one even for me and I had been involved in a lot of activities, so I took this rare opportunity to rest. It was only I and Princess at home, her mom was on call as usual.
Princess had been playing on the piano in the sitting room and I was enjoying the tune. We are a family of musicians, infact I and Baby clicked at a concert. I am a guitarist and play on the drums, I sing also. Baby is a singer and she sings soprano, she plays the piano also. Princess is no exception, she plays the piano, the violin and sings alto. Some days, we would gather at evenening in the 'music room' as we called the room I designed for music, we would then hold a small scale concert and compose music; these were holidays and breaks.
I suddenly stood up to go meet her in the living room and stood unnoticed for some minutes at the entrance till she stopped playing. I clapped as I entered fully and she looked back, shocked at my entrance. I spoke first,
"Roses are red
Violets are Blue
Lilies are White
And I love you."

"Dad, this one that you are composing poems all of a sudden, whats wrong?" Princess asked while blushing?
"I am in a poetic mood today and I wanna have a final talk with you before you leave for the university, it is concerning learning as a whole," I replied smiling.
"Okay Dad, sit down while I get you a bottle of water and a glass cup" Princess said as she stood up, she came back few minutes later with the items and placed them on the centre table in the sitting room. I poured myself a glass and sat back in the couch and relaxed myself as I got ready to speak. Princess sat is a couch opposite me and got ready to listen
"Princess, your education is a vital aspect in your life though it is not a do or die affair but it is like a lauch or kinda nitro that propels your movement forward on the lane of life. Education is not about going to school and getting taught by teachers, it is about 'getting educated' in any way, manner, or form and by anyone." I took a sip from the glass and continued
"My words are few but crucial. Pay attention to the flow of information around you and the channels by which the information is being received. This goes a long way in determining your thoughts, choices and decisions either consciously, unconsciously or subconsciously. Be conscious of what you take in or swallow, what you receive, learn or study has a way of affecting your mind and your actions. Learn to filter the information that passes through your mind. Be an active seeker of information and voraciously devour books and other sources of information. It goes a long way in helping you; reading. Reading can never be ecessive, you might not remember all you read but you grow familiar with the topic and its scope and have an idea of it while being able to discuss it with others confidently."
I stopped for a moment to refill my glass and naturally continued "Reading broadens your horizons and expands your mind capacity making you able to take in a lot of information and process them while having a result. Reading is a way of stretching your mind and it exercises your brain. Make it an effort to read, just read anything; don't be limited to school subjects, read wide; from astrology, arts, science, psychology, fiction, biographies and many others. You will be better for it if you take my advice. I love you dear." I concluded and stood up with my bottle of water intending to take it with me to my room.
"I love you too Dad, you've been the best friend I ever knew," Princess said and that marked the end of our discussion...

Actually few months later, Princess did go to the university, leaving me alone to further her education. She is gone and I won't be there with her any longer but my words shall remain with her forever as spirit and life. I've done my best and been a good father, I might not be the best but even Destiny bears me witness that I fulfilled my purpose as a Dad... Adieu.

EPILOGUE
Princess closed the Diary and smiled somewhat sadly. Dad died two years into her university life and left her with his library in which she found the diary, and turning it she found memories burned in her head in the book, and tears flooded her eyes. Fate was so cruel, it took her Dad away from her, but Dad still remained with her in spirit via his words that kept following her as a guide and companion. She had read the diary countless times, and each time she remembered the look on her Dad's face as Death took him away. He had said "I have done as Destiny sent me, it is up to you now, I go quickly but my words remain, Adieu."
Sometimes she believes her Dad is an angel, he just seemed to be sent into her life and left when he was done with her.
