MY INDIAN LOVE

His Condition

It was early morning, the sky was blue just showing in the morning. Inside the dark room, a small figure was sleeping soundly on the bed. She was sleeping like she cared for nothing in the world. Well, what to say about this is how a heavy sleeper sleeps. After a few minutes, she woke up, turning in bed and her hand went towards the right where she usually keeps her alarm clock. Her eyes were closed, her hand moving like every day. But to her surprise, it was so smooth and comfortable, not a hard stand. Opening her groggy eyes, she looked around. Yesterday's incident flashed across her eyes and she nearly jumped sitting on bed.

"morning", she mumbled to herself. Yeah, she has a habit of wishing morning to herself lovingly, just like we wish each other. Walking lazily towards the gallery, she opened the curtain. Sliding through the door, a breathtaking view was in front of her. A big jungle was there in a distance, lush greenery pleasing her eyes and a big garden near, showing thousands of different flowers.

"Can i live here permanently?", she questioned herself. " Of course not". She was a little sad about this part. Taking a deep breath of fresh air, she decides to enjoy the present moment. Who knows when you will get another moment like that.

Inside the gym, Dominic was working out early in the morning. It's his habit to do it every morning. The sweat swirled through his hair, across his neck, flowing downward onto his muscles. After an hour's workout, he was breathing heavily. He grabbed the towel, cleaned the sweat, and walked out of the gym. He entered his room to take a shower.

In the dining hall

"Bella dear, eat your breakfast". Amy was trying to feed breakfast to Bella, who was clearly refusing to eat.

"No. I want mamma", Bella refused to eat. Amy sighed when she heard it again.

"What's going on", Dominic's voice, makes them jump into their seats.

"Good morning uncle", Bella quickly changed her tone and greeted him. She didn't want to repeat the same thing, so she chose not to say it in front of Dom, but she missed her mother terribly. Amy was surprised to see a sudden change in Bella's attitude, but it made her happy and sad at the same time. As a child, not having a mother around you is horrible for any child. Every child needs a mother around them, to love and protect them. To listen to every right, wrong thing they say and do.

"Good morning. So what do we have for breakfast, hmm?", he asked little Bella sitting beside her.

"Wow. Bella's favorite breakfast.",he said, happily looking at the dishes on the table.

"I'm so hungry. I will finish everything.", he said, looking at Bella, filling his plate with all the dishes, especially with her favorite cannoli. Servants offered to serve, but he refused. When Bella saw him taking all her favorite food she grabbed his hand. "No uncle. It's not good to overeat", convincing him not to eat everything.

"Am i overeating",he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I mean eating cereals is healthy", she said, passing her cereal bowl to him. "Then who will eat this?", he asked himself, his hand on his chin pretending to be in deep thought. "Me", Bella said trying to reach his plate.

" OK princess", Dominic laughed as he saw her struggling to reach his plate. He held above in hand.

Inside the office

Tara was sitting on the couch inside his office. She got caught there by Dominic yesterday and now she is sitting there in front of him again.

"What you want to talk about?", he questioned breaking her chain of thoughts. After breakfast one of guard, guarding her door told him that Tara wants to talk to him.

"Can i leave?", she asked him again.

"I already told you yesterday. I don't like to repeat it again", he said in a sharp voice. She looked at him, trying to stay calm, pursuing him. "I told you everything already. Why keep me here then?",she wanted to know what was on his mind.

"You will take care of Bella as her nanny", he told his final decision. Tara was shocked. She didn't believe his words. Why would he choose her as a nanny? He didn't trust me. Why would he risk Bella's life?

"What if I refuse to do it?", she wanted to know what he will say.

"Then see her face one last time", he said, looking at other side. She followed to look in same direction. Fear crept inside her when she saw a man holding a gun aiming it at the unconscious Laura.

"You are forcing me to do this", she accused him.

"No. This is my condition, else you can walk out", he gave her choice which is totally unfair.

"Do i really have a choice here now", she said to herself.
