Alhaitham once read that there's always joy in unexpected things.
Back then he didn't pay the line any mind. While the book was quite pleasant to read, that particular line was too inapplicable in his life. He set

everything with practicality in mind, which made any result that was generated was within his expectation, in a way.
However, now that he’s almost thirty, he can proudly say that there’s one thing that actually fits the phrase for him now.
“Baba!” The little giggle takes his

attention back to the little blob of toddler who’s sitting on her baby chair. Her wide, ruby eyes are staring at him expectantly, while her arms are raised in the air at him. Her tiny little fingers are wiggling and reaching at him as he approaches her with her bowl of food.

“Babaaaaa…” She whines as her attention is now fixated on her favorite green bowl.
The action generates an affectionate scoff from him. “You’re just like your dada. So impatient.” He says as he fixes her bib first, before he puts her food on her little table.

He takes a seat across from her, after he fetches her drink and puts it on the little table. It seems that she’s truly hungry, because she spares no time in lifting the spoon

and digs into her meal. Due to her young age and her untrained motoric skills, she’s quite clumsy with her baby spoon. Most of her food will fall down to the table or any other place but her mouth, but Kaveh said that it’s good to train her skills. Some misplaced food is okay,

it’s not like they can't just feed her more milk or baby biscuits later if she’s hungry again.
Kaveh has cooked her mushy rice that’s cooked in bone-marrow broth, with very soft and finely-chopped carrot, broccoli and topped with mashed salmon. They still have no idea whether

she’s picky with her food or not, but so far, she has no problem swallowing anything Kaveh has made for her.
The same case also happens now.
Her chubby cheeks wiggle a little as she spoons the warm rice into her tiny little mouth. There's an obvious tilt of smile on her face as

she tastes the food and he can’t help but be enraptured everytime. She’ll also look at him while she munches on her soft meal. There’s always spark in her eyes and she’ll giggle happily after every swallow, as if she’s amused with how intently he’s staring at her.

Sometimes, she’ll also shake her head or her body lightly, even her legs when she’s particularly joyful if she 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 likes her meal or if he ends up spooning the food into her mouth properly. The action only enhances her adorableness and if anyone tell him that he’ll be

such a fool daughter’s six years ago, he’d have thought that they’re deranged.
But look at him now.
Alhaitham unconsciously smiles when her daughter lets out a very bright beam upon tasting the salmon. A chuckle escapes from him as his daughter is now digging through her meal

with more gusto. He has once tried her meal, out of curiosity after too many sessions of watching her eat, but it’s terribly bland since Kaveh doesn’t use any real seasoning on her foods due to her age. But even then, it never stops his daughter to devour her home-cooked

meals as if they are the most delicious things in the world.
An unexplainable warmth also spreads from the center of his chest, as he wipes some of the mushy rice from her nose with a tissue while she is staring at him cutely.
“Slow down, Baba will give you more if you’re still

hungry.” Alhaitham murmurs, his hand is stroking the side of her head gently.

If he used to like to tease Kaveh to relieve some of his stress, now with just a smile or a call of baba from his daughter, Alhaitham feels like he can do another coup just for her.
