“Dad you've not said anything since, what is wrong” I asked dad “it's nothing my dear, I have something to tell you” he said “alright, go on I'm all ears” I replied with a smile “You know my dear, when your mum was on her death bed, she begged me to make sure you go to the University, but I've been trying to persuade you to do that but you're too stubborn, it's either you say you're not ready to leave Henry or you're not ready to take the next step. Please my dear, I'm begging you to leave Henry and further your education” Dad said, looking at me like his life depends on it “ Dad you know why I didn't agree with you before? It was because you always come at the wrong time” I said answering my own question “oh, is that so?” he asked surprisingly “ Yes sir” I replied playfully “so will you agree with me this time? Did I come at the right time?” He asked again with the same tone “Yes sir” I replied playfully again “does that mean you've broken up with Henry” he asked, this time looking serious “no, no , no we're not talking about that dad” I replied absent minded because I was focused on the dress on my bed “Dad” I called out “ Yes princess” he answered “I this dress for me?” I asked still looking at the dress “it was your mother's but now yours don't you like the dress” he asked with a frown “no, I love it, it's pretty, who told you to pick this color dad , it's my best color” I asked “I've always known you like blue” he answered and we both giggled for some time before someone interrupted us “sir Gilbert, it's time to go sir” Charles said, interrupting our father and daughter moment “Alright, I'll be there in a minute” Dad replied then looked at me and said “Lily, I've arranged everything you need for the University okay?” He said and I nodded my head “Good and you'll be meeting some old friends when you get there, I have a house there, I'll give you the keys when we get to the house” He said,his eyes looking teary “okay dad” I replied “That's my princess, you'll go out there and make me proud okay?” He said again “okay dad” I said, while wiping the tears flowing from dad's eyes “alright dear, I'll be on my way now” he said and started going down the stairs “dad, you said something about old friends, I don't remember having one” I said with confusion clear in my voice “oh, about that you'll know when you get there, I can't tell you now I have to go” he replied “but dad I nee…” I was interrupted by dad's words “I need to go princess, bye”he said and Charles drove off “Hmm, what a hard man,he couldn't even answer me” I said In frustration.
