Goa, India Nisha's POV 'wake up my pretty girl. You will get late for school if you continue to sleep more.' dad said. 'Noooooo, five minutes pleaseeee papa' I groaned while burying my face more into the blanket. I hate mornings.uuhhhhh. 'baccha( kid) your friends will come here to pick you at anytime and if they found you still asleep then you know how will they wake you up. So get up fast' dad said while removing blankets from my body. ' Noooo na. I don't want to go to school today. I am sleepy.' I groaned again in my sleepy voice. 'And don't let them come in my room, they can go to any extent to annoy me.' I added still asleep. 'Babygirl what will you do when I won't be here? Grow up girl, I can't be with you forever. What if something happens to .....' 'papaaaa, don't ever say that, no matter what I will never let you go away. I will even come to God's house if he take you there. So never say that.' I said while sitting on the bed immediately shutting up my dad. He laughs 'Okay my kiddo, as you say so. Now get up. Today I am going to make breakfast and that too your favourite. So come on rise and shine' papa said while kissing my forehead. "Okay Dad." I wake up suddenly and looked at my surrounding. I am still in the bed but Dad is not here to wake me up. I sighed at the memory. It's been 10days since Dad is not with me. God took him away leaving me all alone. I don't know what to do. It feels like I don't have any purpose for living. Dad I miss you so much. Why you left me? Tears started to flow from my eyes non stop. I am afraid to live without my dad. When dad was here, he always loved me and protected me from everything. He is my hero. I know I have my best friends with me but still no one can fulfill dad's empty place. I didn't even see my maa as she went to God's home when I was born. I never saw her. Only her photos. Dad always said that I look like my maa. Dad never let me feel lack of mom's love. He always fulfilled my wishes before I even tell him. "I miss you papa. I miss you." I got up from the bed and went to my bathroom for doing my morning routine. After shower I just wore a simple kurti and pajama as I don't want to go anywhere. I checked my phone, I got few missed calls from my best friends. I sighed at that. I really do worry them. When I was busy texting them that I am fine, I heard a knock on the door. "Come in" "Good morning baby ji, I made breakfast. Please come downstairs and have some breakfast." Geeta di(sister) said while entering in my room. Geeta di is one of the workers who works here. She is 25 years old and is just like my big sister. "No. I don't feel like eating." I told her getting up from the couch. "Please baby ji, eat something. You didn't ate dinner yesterday. You will feel weak.please." she insisted. "Really Geeta di, I am not hungry. And beside Dad is not here to make me eat in spite of my protest."I chuckled sadly. " Baby ji, you know he is watching you from the sky and he will feel bad if you don't eat anything. Be strong, at least for your Dad. He never liked when you get sad. And being a good daughter as you are, will you make you dad sad?huh?" She explained while holding my hands. I guess she is right. I should not make others worry because of me. "oki. I will eat."I whispered to her. "Now come on, I made your favourite dish. You will even eat your fingers."she said while dragging me with her. ---------------------- After breakfast I went to our garden for a walk. Everything looks huge. A huge mansion, huge garden, workers working here, bodyguards who don't leave me outside alone even for a second. But it still feels empty. Something is missing or rather someone. I don't know what am I going to do in future. Dad have numerous businesses running out there world wide. I am not even mature enough to handle those. I am just a 16 years old kid. I never had any interest in business although I love finance subject. Dad is self made billionaire and he doesn't have any sibling. So I guess I have to manage his all businesses. Dad's attorney Raj uncle who was also a good friend of dad called me yesterday saying he has to talk to me about something important and someone is going to come to meet me today in the evening. I don't know but I guess I have to wait till evening. ---------------------- In the evening Raj uncle came home with a man in his late forties. I think I saw him before but I don't remember when and where. "Hey baccha, how are you? Raj uncle asked me while patting my head lovingly. "I am fine uncle." I replied with a smile. That man beside uncle was watching me with intense stares. But strangely it didn't make me scared in fact I felt safe. Good vibes coming from him. "Nisha, I know it is too much to take at once but I have to tell you something. After your Dad got his first heart attack, he survived. But after that he was scared that if anything happens to him then who will take care of you. So he made Mr Colton Riach your legal guardian. You are going to stay with him until you turns 18 years. He also made his all wealth and property under your name and you will get its title when you become legal. All the earning from his various businesses all over the world will go to charity under your name for the time being. From now on Mr. Colton will take care of you and you are going to stay with his family in Boston. Nisha think before you make any decision. It was your father's wish and he was sure that Mr Colton will protect you from everything and love you as his own child." He said. As soon as he finished I ran upstairs in my room climbing on my bed crying my heart out. How will I go with him leaving all behind. I cannot live without my friends and the people who are working here and treating me like their own family. I am scared to go in new surrounding around new people who are complete strangers to me. I cannot go. As I was sobbing badly, I heard some faint knocks on my bedroom door. I thought it was geeta di or any other servant so I asked them to come in. I didn't look front as I was resting my face on my knees covered with my hands. I felt someone sit beside me on the bed. "You know nisha, me and your dad were friends even before you were born. The most cute and beautiful baby I had ever seen. At that day Veer was not in a state to react on anything around him as the loss of his wife caused him too much pain. He was numb for several hours staring constantly at your mom's lifeless body, holding her hands like in the next moment his wife will wake up from her long sleep. You were crying badly. There was no one around you. When I first saw you, you were crying too much but when I hold you in my arms you stopped crying and looked at me with your watery smile. I forgot my surrounding that time. I knew I will protect you with my life. You were sleeping in my arms whole night. When Veer came out of the shock and remorse, he held you near his chest and broke down completely. He told me that he is going to love you and protect you with everything and that he will never let you feel lack of your mother's love in all your life." I looked to see Mr Colton sitting beside me and has tears in his eyes with a sad smile on his face. I don't know but hearing him made more tears flow from my eyes. "When you were 6 years old, I came to India to meet Veer and you. You were so cute and chubby back then. You gave me chocolates and asked me to play with you hide and seek." He chuckled softly. I remembered him now. When he came to our house I asked him to play with me and I gave him my chocolates. He also brought a beautiful doll for me back then. "Yeah I remember, you didn't found me for hours and I slept in my hiding spot scaring everyone." I chuckled recalling that memory. " Yeah. Veer even fired all guards for not keeping an eye on you." He laughed recalling the memory. "Nisha I know it is not easy for you but trust me I will take care of you and protect you with all my life. Just give me a chance. Veer always wanted you to be happy. He trusted me with you, so please respect his decision and come with me."He told me convincingly. When I think about this, I guess he is right. I should move on with my life and be happy. It will take time but I will be fine. If my destiny wants me to start my life from Boston, so be it. I will give him a chance. "Okay. I will come with you."I told him with a hesitant smile. I hope my life will no more burst bombs on me .
