Ayla POV
"Ayla, wait!, don’t run!," I tried to stop Ayla but she kept running here and there. More like she was just jumping like a frog.
"Catch if you can", she ran while I was still picking up my luggage.
But when I looked at her she was not there making uneasy. My eyes searched for her everywhere but she was nowhere to be found.
"Ayla"
"Ayla"
"Baby, where are you?"
"Baby, don’t joke on ! You know momma is scared right?" I continued calling for her until I saw her two little ponytails from a crowd.
Phew, I found her.
I pulled the luggage and went near her when I found soone was holding her in my arms. I don’t know who it is but yeah soone who I’m familiar with.
I ran closer and pulled her to .
"God, Ayla, you scared the hell out of ."
"You know I’m scared right? My heart was about to pop out with fear", I said while caressing her hair but she kept on giggling.
"Ayla?" Soone called my na but both of them replied, "Yes?"
God, it already beca a habit whenever soone called by the na. I can’t help but na my little princess the sa na as . I don’t know why but maybe I just love the na I got from my parents even though they are not in this world anymore.
I turned to the person when I realised it was none other than Jace.
"Ayla, what’s going on?" He looked extrely shocked seeing , which I couldn’t even help but laugh at.
"Ayla, it’s not funny. You know how it will shock when I co to pick you up but see soone who looks exactly like.....
He stopped while I noticed what he tried to say but I ignored the topic.
"Brother, is it really the place to talk?"
"Can’t you even think that your little sis must be growling in hunger?" I pout.
"Yes yes can’t you even think that your little niece must be growling in hunger?" She pouted as well making him laugh which was much more different than I saw before.
It was so pure that I may want to hide. His eyes were dazzling like a diamond while his teeth were rejoicing with happiness seeing my little doll.
"Of course you two brat, let’s go ho and eat to your heart’s content", he said and picked up Ayla in his arms while soone ca and picked up my luggage to the car.
The entire journey was fun. I thought maybe I will again see the annoyed Jace who once called how we both are siblings when our nature doesn’t match, how I can be his sibling but seeing him take the initiative and co to pick made forget everything and embrace the new him.
"So little brat, how old are you ?" He asked.
"I’m 4 years old and I’m not a little brat", she pouted again making both of us chuckle.
"Gosh, I can’t keep up with her cuteness. If she keeps on being cute like this I may end up becoming diabetic", Jace stated.
"Why? Don’t you have kids? I’m sure you are older than then?" I asked while he looked at .
"Dad, didn’t tell you?" He asked.
"No, does it matter?" I asked again.
"No I have a son who is two years old but I don’t think he is this cute as my niece", he said and again started chewing her cheeks making her annoyed.
"Shoo shoo, bad uncle!! I shouldn’t have co to you when I saw you", she turned to the other side.
"Have you co to find ?" Jace asked.
"Of course, little Ayla recognized you so she ca to you and said hi", she said.
"You recognised ?"
"Yes yes I saw your picture on mom’s phone", she said while I looked away.
Why does she have to tell him that I have his pictures dad occasionally sends them to and I added them to the family album folder I created. She is really becoming a lot talkative. I don’t know who did she even take after when I don’t even talk much in reality.
"You have my picture?" Jace asked.
I knew it.
"Of course I have. Family is always family", as I said I can see his eyes filled with tears.
"Wait ... don’t cry... I didn’t an to make you cry... Jace... stop it... or she will tease you again", I tried to while his tears started dropping on her cheeks.
"Ah uncle is such a cry baby", here she goes.
"Yeah I m", he is even agreeing with her.
"I can’t keep up with this", I said .
"Brother, if you don’t stop crying I will never call you brother ever again. So it’s your call", I said and turned to the other side when I heard no crying noises. Gosh I can’t believe he really acts like a kid when the kid is actually enjoying seeing him cry.
Now I wonder who is the real kid here.
While I was thinking we reached in front of my ho. Just how long it has been since I placed my feet here. Is it five years? No, if I count the ti when I ran away from here in my teens then it’s surely more than ten years even though I stayed here less than a month to wait for a certain soone.
"Ayla, co down.. dad must be waiting for you", Jace said while he was carrying Ayla.
He walked forward while I followed them but as the door opened Ayla get down from his shoulder and ran inside calling GRANDPA.
She sure never behaves like .
Why do you bring all of your dad’s genes and not ?
I really wonder.
"Grandpa"
"Grandpa"
"Grandpa"
"Where are you?"
"Grandpa, Ayla is here", as she took the na I saw dad coming out from the kitchen but as he saw her he stayed silent for a while but after that I ca and stood behind her letting him understand who she was.
"Is she?"
"Ayla, is she yours?" He was still shuttering while Ayla ran near him and hugged his legs as she could never reach his height unless he bowed down to her.
"Dad, she is Ayla."
"My daughter", I said while dad carried her.
"Woah she is so light", he said.
"So you got married?" He asked while he still had the shocked expression on his eyes.
"Dad, does she even look like she is married? Just look at little Ayla’s face and say who she looks like", Jace said while he was taking my things to my room.
"So this is why you ran away", finally he understood.
"Why didn’t you tell ?"
"I could have done sothing ."
"Why didn’t you tell when you are already carrying so much burden by yourself? Why didn’t you?"
"He even ca after you left", as he said I stopped him.
"Dad, say no more I don’t want to discuss anything", I said while Ayla was looking toward .
"Who is he?" She finally asked, making clench my fist.
I knew that when I would co here I would surely get lots of questions , but I didn’t know this would be this fast. And ntioning things about him each ti sure makes her know she has a dad but we are not together. And if she knows she sure would like to et him and be with him. Then what should I do?
I know I’m no longer a teen but still when I worry about things like this I still couldn’t think but have anxiety.
"He is no one", I said while I heard soone’s feet step running toward but before I could turn and see I felt two tiny hands grasping my legs . I looked down when I found a little boy holding tight.
"Hands up", he said, making startled.
"Oh ok", I did as he said.
"Woah I scared Ayla"
"I scared Ayla"
He started jumping, calling my nas which made chuckle. I really wish Ayla would be this childish like him but she is so mature even though she is so little.
"You little brat , you again did it when she just ca now", I heard a new voice.
"You?"
"Oh sorry I forgot you don’t know ", she said.
"I’m Keeny and you can say I’m your sister in law as I married Jace", she said.
"How did you know ?."
"Everyone talks about you a lot and there are so....
She was saying when Jace stopped.
"This is nothing I kept on blabbering about you as well dad . You don’t worry", she said but I felt sothing was off.
I was trying to observe but I saw Ayla co down from dad’s arm and walked toward the little boy.
"Hey , you"
"How dare you make mom scared?"
Here we go again.
