Sophiya's P.O.V,
I still don't understand what is happening to me. Suddenly in a few minutes, I found my new dad whom I had not even seen before today. They both started taking me inside.
The bungalow was very luxurious to look at. The trees, plants, and flowers planted in the garden were adding to the beauty of the place.
As soon as I entered the bungalow, Mumma leave my hand and sat down on the sofa with that handsome guy.
This is not the first time this happened to me today. My mom and dad always had no time for me.
Since childhood, he has given utmost importance to their work. I silently sat on the couch and started looking at the whole hall. The windows of that hall were covered with white curtains and on the other side scenery is hanging out on the wall, which looks very graceful.
My new bungalow looked much nicer than my dad Luna's house.
There was a bar attached to a wall on the side itself, in which many bottles of champagne were kept. And a waiter was sitting there to serve them.
Hey Sophie darling! you go and take a rest for some time in your room. I want to talk to your father.
she wants some alone time with that handsome guy that's why she said me to leave...
Alice takes my baby into her room.
Alice was the name of the maid who worked there. Who used to do all the other household chores?
She immediately came to me obeying my mother's words and started going towards my room with me. I silently got up and started leaving with them. Even after coming here, Mumma handed me over to someone else.
After taking some steps finally I reached my room. Sit down comfortably baby, I'll bring you something to eat.
she said.
I silently sat on the bed and started looking at my new room. This room of mine was not like my old room. It was completely different from that.
I have my washroom attached to my room and I also have my cupboard.
Looking at the room, it seems as if Mumma already knew that she would bring me here. I couldn't do anything even if I wanted to.
Hey baby!! I have brought breakfast for you.
Come let's eat it.....
Okay.. wait! I wash my hand first after that I take my breakfast.
I get up and go in my washroom which is attached to my room and I just wash my hand and come back to my breakfast.
Bread and Jem !! Yummy It's my favorite...
Can I say aunt Alice to you...
Of course baby! why not?? you can call me by my name also. I will never mind it.
She said...
okay thanks, aunt Alice.
Hey aunt can you tell me who the baby whose picture hangs on the wall is?
I asked her to do my breakfast also...
Oooh, you are asking for that baby.
He was the son of Mr. Richard. But one year ago his wife get him divorced and she went his baby with her.
From that day Mr. Richard was so alone.
She tells me all about that baby and Mr. Richard Ooh so sad!!
I replied
Don't worry baby!! you just take a rest. Mr. Richard is a great man. He will never disappoint you and your mother. you don't have to worry about your mother...
okay, you take a rest.
I have already so many works to do. So I am going to do that.....
If you need anything then call me. I'll immediately come to you.
She said.
Okay, you go.
I still think about my dad Luna. I know that he never loves me like her daughter but even then I love him...
How can he leave us like this? And why he did not stop us? I don't have any answers to my questions...
Hey Sophie!! What are you doing baby?? this melodious voice is my mumma's voice.
She came into my room.
Nothing mom! I am just waiting for you.
I replied.
listen, darling! I know that so many questions are surrounding your mind. But I am going to clear every question of yours. You know very well baby that your father Luna never gave us time for a single day.
He gave all his importance to his work and meetings and that's why I need a partner With whom I can share my feeling.
And he is too caring. He loves you like an angel. please baby trust him at once.
She tells me.
okay, Mumma! I can do anything for you. If you are happy with Mr.Richard then I have no problem.
I replied with a huge smile.
My cute baby comes on and hugs me.
She hugs me very tightly.
This is the first time when I saw her with a great smile.
Okay, now you sleep for some hours. Tomorrow we have a flight.
Flight! where are we going, mom???
Baby Richard made a decision that we will not stay here because he doesn't want that our past repeats day by day here.
But Mumma.....
No Sophie that's it we will go tomorrow and this is final.
She keeps silent me.
You sleep now.
I'll send Alice to pack your beg.
after saying that she leaves my room.
Now I am too worried about tomorrow.
Will I never meet my dad again??? I only think about that but not can do anything so the better option is that I would sleep.
I will take bath first then sleep. I quietly got up and took out a towel from my cupboard and kept it in the bathroom and started taking a bath. I like to take a bath because All my tension flows away along with the bath.
The Next Day,
Come on Sophie!! wake up fast. We are getting late baby...
Hurry up, baby!!!
This is my mother's voice. She wakes me up early in the morning whenever she has to go somewhere
What is this honey!! I told you yesterday that we have to go from here but still, you are sleeping like this.
Come on get up fast!! and go take a shower and be ready...
She told me this with a morning hug.
yeah mumma! don't worry I'll be ready on time. But I want to talk to you.
I say.
baby, you know that we are getting late for our flight but still, you want to waste my time. I talk to you later ok!! firstly go and be ready...
She again ignored me.
Mumma that guy is more important than me for you!! yesterday when I said that I want to talk to you then you say no We will talk about this another day and now I say this again then you don't have time again for me.
What is this mumma?? this is my whole life question. why you don't understand a single little thing?
I replied with anger.
Okay!! but only five minutes because I don't want that we missed our flight ok.
She said...
Ok, fine mom!!
Mumma, we are just leaving here today. I want to talk to my dad one last time. I have so many questions and if I do not get my answers I will not go anywhere...
What?? you want to talk to your dad. Do you mean you want to talk to Luna??
She asked me...
yes, mom!! I am just saying the same thing...
I replied.
Have you gone mad baby? you want to talk to that guy who never loves you and not your mother also...
But still, he is my father's mom. It is my right to meet him. Please mom I am going with you so please give me a single chance to meet him... please mumma, please!!
Why do you not understand that I had spent fourteen years of my life in that house with my father?
So I have to know how could he do this to me?? He didn't stop us even once. I don't know if I will come back here after today or not...
so give me at least one chance mom by the way, our flight time is 12 O'noonnow the time is 7'O clock. Mumma please I request to you there is so much time for our flight.
I just want to meet my father for five minutes.
I request she meets my father.
Okay fine!!
Now get ready quickly, after that I will take you to meet her.
She leaves my room after saying this...
Now I am a little bit happy because today when I will meet my dad, maybe he will stop me. And it is a very good thing for me that mamma gave me a chance to meet my dad.
Baby!! Are you ready?? your mumma is waiting for uuuuhhhh!!!
My Aunt Alice asked me in a soft voice.
yes, Aunt!! wait I am coming.
Hey!! How I am looking??
I asked my aunt.
You are looking, fabulous baby...
Let's go otherwise your mumma will scold us.
She is waiting for u in her car.
You go, baby! I will bring your stuff from your room.
Okay, Aunt!! come fast I am waiting outside for you.
just a minute!! tell me one thing Are you not coming with us??
Baby your dad is not informed me to go with him... So how can I go with you?
She said.
What does it mean they didn't inform you?? Will you be alone here??
Baby, you are very sweet but you have to understand that I am the maid of this house. And after going to America, he will hire someone else for his house.
She told me.
Aunt, you go and pack your luggage. I am going to talk to my mother. How can they do this to me?
Hey, darling stop!! listen to me! Sophie! Sophie!
She kept calling me many times but I ignored her and went straight to my mother.
What is this mom?? Why aren't you both taking Aunt Alice with you??
Sophie, we are already getting very late, sit down quietly.
She silenced me by shouting.
No mumma today I am not listening to anything.
I'm leaving my school, leaving my friends and you can't take her with you for me!!
Even there you will be busy with your work, why are you not thinking about me!!!
please mom please please take her with us.
I request her...
Okay!! Sit down quickly, if we continue like this, we will miss our flight.
Miss Stella!! please wait for a minute!! I will bring my luggage.
Aunt Alice asked my mother.
No
There is no need for it. We are already getting very late. There we will buy some clothes for you.
She replied with great ferocity.
My mom never misses an opportunity to show off her wealth...
Now I am too excited to meet my father...
Mom is driving the car. And I'm sitting in the back with Auntie Alice. She was driving the car very fast, as she always drives. The only thing I was thinking in my mind was whether my dad would ask even once to keep me with him or not.
After covering a distance of a few kilometres, finally I reached there. Mom stopped the car in front of my old house.
Listen, Sophie!!! we don't have too much time to stay here. So go and talk to him in a few minutes and then come fast...
She gave me instructions to follow and I listen to them quietly.
Okay, Mumma!! I will just come in five minutes only.
I replied.
I ran very fast towards the door of my house but the door of my house was closed... I knocked on that door and press the doorbell also but nobody is responding from inside...
Now I am full of disappointment.
Dad! please open the door. look who is here! I am your daughter Sophie's dad!! please talk to me.
I kept calling them continuously but no sound came from inside.
Now I'm completely broken.
I know very well that he is inside the house because the light in my house was on but He deliberately closed the curtains on seeing me.
Hey dad!! I know you are listening to me. please give me a single chance to explain myself. Please open the door dad
plz ......
Now, My eyes were filled with tears.
Sophie comes fast!!! I told you already that we don't have enough time. Come fast!
My mum is calling me from inside the car because she wants to meet her new soulmate but how can I go with her? My dad did not listen to me at a single time.
But I am still standing in front of my house in the hope that maybe my father open the door and hug me tightly...
But he did not respond to anything.
Your mother is getting very angry, Sophie. He will not come here to meet you. Let's go from here!!
My aunt put her hand on my shoulder. I hugged her very tightly and started weeping...
How can he do this to me!! He is inside the house and still not answering my words.
Calm down, baby!! let's go from here. He is not here to listen to your words.
She takes me out from there. I left my house with all my unsolved questions.
Now one more time I was alone. He left me. He didn't even think it appropriate to talk to me once.
Alice take me into the car and opens the door and made me sit on the seat. My mumma again started driving to go to the airport.
Aunt Alice was looking at me with sad eyes But my mother was not bothered whether I am crying or laughing.
After covering a distance of a few kilometres, we reached our destination.
After reaching there, we get off the car. My mumma called someone. Who was none other than my father Mr Richard? As my mumma called him within a second he comes in front of her. They hug each other very tightly and he kissed my mom's forehead also. He is in a black blazer with a white shirt with blonde hair and shiny blue eyes. If I compare him with my dad Luna he is more attractive than him. Maybe that is why my mummy could not stop herself to love him. Because he is so cool. After hugging my mother he comes to my side.
And he holds me tightly and kisses me also. I am very impressed to see that he cares for me and my mother also. Now I think in my mind that The person who is going to be my second dad loves me a lot.
Within a moment, my thoughts changed to him.
