I ca inside holding Ayla’s hand. She looked so happy when I hold her. I can see her lips corner lifting up on her own as if sothing is tingling inside her.
"Baby, you look so happy", I said.
"Of course, there won’t be any bad uncle or aunt from now on", she said, but at so point, I felt guilty. I don’t know if I’m doing right or wrong but I can’t let him take my child.
I know he doesn’t love and the way he keeps on pretending to be in love with is just to get my child nothing else.
"Mom!"
She called out to again.
"Yes?"
"Let’s go eat in my room", she said, making look so confused.
"Why?"
"Because grandpa is one of the bad guys. He doesn’t love us. I was excited about nothing", she said, reminding what dad did. Of course, it hurts too which I too can’t reciprocate.
"Oh ok", I said and carried her to my side while I was holding the plate on the other side.
I walked inside the room while Josh followed as well, holding my pinky finger.
"Run fast or the food is going to turn cold", as I said Josh ran fast while I reached there after him. As I reached I locked the door when they were already looking at us.
I fed them and made them sleep. At last, I ca out seeing Mrs White’s presence as if they are arguing over sothing.
"Am I disturbing?" I asked.
As I said they looked toward .
"Oh no you didn’t", Mrs White said.
"Oh, I’m glad."
"By the way, how are you, Mrs. White? Are you ok?" I asked.
"It’s already been 2 days since I ca here but you didn’t co out of the room just for once. I’m not telling you to co out and welco but isn’t it stuffy inside the room?" I said while I was scratching my head as I again offended her.
"No, I do co out at night. And could you please not ca-"
She stopped.
"What? Why did you stop?" I asked.
"Ah no it’s nothing", she said and went to her room.
I too moved toward the kid’s room when dad called .
"Baby, won’t you ask anything?" he said.
"What? Is there anything left to ask?" I asked.
"No, but-
"Dad, you didn’t give any choice. I ca here running when I realised you are sick but you know I didn’t expect a lie from you. But I’m not mad at that but the thing that hurt is you thought his pain is more than when I was the one going through that", I said.
"It’s not. You are misunderstanding."
"Don’t say. I’m tired of hearing misunderstandings again and again." I said and locked myself in the kid’s room.
I laid down on the couch while I could hear their sweet little snoring, which is like a song.
"Ummm, cake", Josh’s sleep talk made chuckle.
"Ummm spaghetti", Ayla was no less.
I wonder how I am going to sleep like this.
At night
I slowly open my eyes. My throat kept on feeling dry. I got up from the couch and searched for water beside the table but there was no water which made get up and walk toward the door but I felt there was sothing wrong.
I turned toward the bed but I found only Josh sleeping but Ayla was not there. I looked here and there but Ayla was nowhere to find. I checked the washroom but she wasn’t there either.
I hurried and went to the living room.
"Dad!!!"
"Brother!!!"
"Keeny!!!"
"Mrs White!!!"
"Where are you all?"
"Co out..."
"It’s an ergency!!!"
I kept on shouting but I saw Mrs White co out of the room in a panic.
"What happened?"
"Why are you shouting in the middle of the night?"
She kept rubbing my back to make feel calm which I may never have experienced in my child but I did get the feel.
"Tell !!" she asked when I saw Jace, Dad and Keeny too running from upstairs in a panic.
"Did sothing happen to you!!"
"Tell us!!"
All asked in the sa tone.
"Ayla..."
"What happened to Ayla? Is she sick? Should I call the doctor?" Mrs White said.
"No, Ayla disappeared", I said.
They all looked at with shocking eyes.
"Where did she go?" Keeny asked.
"Maybe she is pranking Josh." Keeny said.
"No no Josh is sleeping and I already searched for her everywhere and I found her nowhere. Whenever she goes to the washroom she always wakes up as she gets frightened seeing dark, but today this didn’t happen either." I said.
No one answered but I think I know where she is.
"Brother, let’s go", I said.
"Where ?"
"You know where," I said.
Aaron POV
"Aaron, what are you doing?"
"Who brings his own kid like this?"
"She doesn’t even like you and you have to bring her like this. She is going to hate you even more", Jas kept on telling .
"Let her. I don’t care if she hates or likes . But I just want to erase the thought from her mind that I didn’t return to her because of the child but for her." I said as I entered my place while everyone was still awake.
"Master, who is she?" the butler asked.
"Aaron, you... You kidnapped her?" Chloe said, making get angry even more than I was.
"Shut the freaking mouth of yours. You are already a burden in my life so don’t be a burden anymore." I said while I felt her eyes opening slowly while she kept on moving on my arm.
"Umm.. Mom", she mumbled and looked at .
As our eyes t she glared at and sohow got down on my arms.
"You again?"
"Where am I?"
"Where is mom?"
"Your mom is not here but will be here soon so be calm", I said in a cold tone as usual.
"You bad uncle!!! You always hurt my mom and you are doing it now too. Let my mom alone", she hit my legs again.
"Didn’t I say she is my wife? Then why would I hurt her?" I glared at her.
"And mom said she is not your wife. You are only a bad uncle who always makes my mom cry", she glared at .
"Don’t you fear ?" I asked.
"Fear? Why? Are you a ghost?" gosh I can’t believe a kid is talking this way with .
"This child!!" I massaged my forehead and took my step backward.
"Ayla, be a good child. Your mom will surely co to take you back ok?" Jas talked to her kissing her forehead which made jealous. Gosh she is my own flesh, my child but she shouts if I touch her. She shouted if I just talk to her, look at her but she was letting this guy do them.
Why?
Why so discrimination?
I didn’t bother to go near her but Chloe went to her.
"Baby, shall we go to my room and play?" she said while touching her palm but she slapped her hand.
"Don’t you dare touch !!! Bad aunty", she said which shocked . So she only hates and her? Why?
"Baby, I just wanted to play with you", she said.
"No need, I can wait for mom here", she said while she tried to climb the couch which was basically high for her.
I sighed and helped her climb. But when I looked at her face she was red. She was so shy just like Ayla. So she gets embarrassed for so reason as well.
"Wh who told you to help ?" she shuttered.
"I feel like but are you a shy little girl?"
"Shy? Ha ha, who would be shy?" she looked away.
"Then whose face is so red", as I said she covered her face.
I too sat beside her while she was bidding her face all this ti.
"Can you bring so hot cocoa", I ordered.
"Cocoa", her eyes lightened up.
"Yeah for ", I said.
"What about ?" she complained.
"You never said you liked it?"
"So? I said now so bring for as well with marshmallows. They are so soft", she said, making my throat dry as if I’ve craved the taste as well for a long ti.
"You like them?"
"Yeah I love them", she said smiling.
"Don’t worry they will bring for you too", I said while Jas whispered, "Didn’t I say she behaved like you, talked like you, even her food choices were the sa as you and she even loved Ayla just like you. She is just a copy of yours. I wondered how she hid her all this ti."
Yeah she is mine so her behaviour is the sa as mine too.
And I’m glad I have a daughter but I wished she looked more like her, not .
