Man1: " As you say . "

Ava: " Emily do you want to sell them . I must tell you that they are very old and are not in very good condition so you won't be able to get probably any thing for them . These are just thrash . "

Emily: " These are not thrash . These are the memories of my father . You see this diary it is not just a pile of pages it has his life . He wrote down his feelings into that . He got this type writer in his college and he wrote a novel . . . . . . . this is the first copy of his novel . Everything has him how can you just give away everything . "

Ava: " So you want to keep his type writer and his novel you can keep it . In fact if you want ou can keep all his books , I am sure no one will want them . "

Emily: " I guess you are not understanding me you are not going to change anything in this room . Everything will remain like it is and don't you dare touch anything again or call them thrash . "

Ava: " Or what will you do ? Will you go to your mother and complain about me ? Oh wait you can't . . . . . . "

Emily: " I can't believe you have such a bad memory . I told you that I am the owner of this house . If you want to stay here they you will have to do as I say . Now you will say that what do I want . . . . . . . . So I want this room to be exactly how I left it . And the most important choose words properly while addressing my parents because I won't be fine with it . "

Ava: " This is how you will pay me back ? "

Emily: " Pay you back , Why ? . . . . . . . What for ? . . . . . . Oh for making my life miserable ! For taking away my father from me ! For ruining my life . If you want me to pay you back for all these things then I must warn you that you will get nothing but miseries . "

Ava: " The career that you are proud of today is because of me . You have a name in this industry because of me . "

Emily: " Since I have an established career and I am high on savings so this means that I must be having a handsome amount in my name . . . . . . . . at least I will be able to afford a house to provide a roof over my child . But I don't think I have any money ? . . . . . . . . . It's strange where did all of my money go ? . . . . . . . . Oh I remember now someone robed me . Someone snatched all the money I made working day and night . Who is this someone ? . . . . . . . . wait . . . . . . . . wait . . . . . . . it was you . So don't act like you did me a favor when it is quite clear that all you did was for your own selfish reasons . "

Ava: " You know what . . . . . . . I don't want to argue with you . Do what ever the hell you want . Just remember that you won't be able to mess with me for a long time . I will finish you . "

Emily: " Do what ever you want . I am not scared of you any more . Till now I was forced to respect you but because you were linked with my father but now I have no such reasons . Try to finish me just remember that I am stronger than before because my daughter is my strength so just remember that from now on I will give you taste of your own medicine . Get ready Ava , the game is on now . "

Ava: " You are crazy . Just leave the house . "

Emily: " I am crazy who is the owner of this house . And I have a whole place to myself so why should I live at the mercy of others ? I am not going any where . What are you two watching just take your ass out of my house . "

Ava: " You don't know who you are messing with . "

Emily: " I know , I am messing with a selfish old lady who value nothing over her happiness . Not even lives . "

Ava: " I must say I never thought that you and your sin will survive that eve but look at you , standing in front of me . And as far as I have heard that you are living with a filthy rich business man who is already engaged so how much he pays you to be his mistress . "

Emily: " Mind your tongue Ava . "

Ava: " What . . . . . . . "

Emily: " How dare you ? "

Ava: " Don't talk like you have not slept with him . No man can be generous enough to let a stranger reside in his house unless he is getting paid . . . . . . . . . Not in cash but in kind . . . . . . . You know what I mean . "

Emily: " You have such a dirty mind . He provided a roof over me and my daughter because he has a big heart . "

Ava: " Oh sure , sure , what else he has that is big . "

Emily: " I can't believe you . I don't know what my father saw in you . "

Ava: " I am sure he saw in me what Steven saw in you . But we are not the same so don't have any misconception . I was living with him as his wife but you are living at Steven's house as a mistress . And you are experienced with men . No wonder what your daughter will learn from you . Anyways I will leave now . And welcome to hell . "

Emily was getting a strange feeling that she has never felt before . For the first the time felt brave . All her life she has let others dictate her . Her father raised her as a soft girl , he saved her from everything that came her way . So she was dependent on others for everything but this was for the first time she stood up for what she wanted . She stood for herself .

She opened a fresh page in her father's diary without peeping what he wrote because he was very particular about his privacy and he hated when others invaded it , especially his diary he never allowed any one to read it .

She wrote ;

" Dear dad , I remember when I was a kid you used to ask me to write down my wish and tie it to a balloon and let it free in the sky with the hope that it will reach God and he will fulfil my wish . I always knew that it was stupid but some how all my wishes came true . And even when mum died , I was sad because I was not able to give her the good bye that she deserved . There was a lot that I wanted to say to her but it all remained unsaid . You asked me to use the balloon trick again . I remember writing everything in a piece of paper , tying it to the balloon and then releasing it in the air with the hope that the letter would reach mom . It is crazy but I still like to believe that she read the letter .

Today I am doing the same thing again . I know I am a grown up and even I have a daughter but still I want to do it with the hope that you will get this letter . Just to tell you your grand daughter is also missing you a lot . I know you have not seen her so I will stick Ella's picture in it . Ella is the name that I have given to her . I know this will not be a surprise for you . Remember that when I was 3 you got me a doll that I named Ella . I never parted with her . I always kept her close to my heart . And ones I said in fun that I will name my daughter Ella . Remember ? . . . . . . . . I hope you do .

If I start talking about how you influenced my childhood then even a book won't be sufficient . I know you loved me . I know you still do . Despite everything that happened I know that you never stopped loving me . Mom was wrong to hide the truth but that truth does not make me any less your daughter or you not any less my mother . You were my family that mattered the most to me . And family is not a someone you are blood related to . We are linked together by our hearts and that is most important .

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I am trying really hard to hold back my tears because I know that the last thing you want to see is me crying . It all happened so soon . I regret not sharing your last moments with you , not telling you what you meant to me and how much I loved you . I really hope that I will be able to teach my Ella everything you taught me . I know I have been angry with you lately because I thought that you abandoned me but now I am sure that you must be having your reasons . Especially now . Today I fund something strange in your room which has made me question everything and also which is the reason I am sharing the roof with Ava. I on't care if this house belong to me or not but I can't stand her . I found a medicine beside your bed . I went through it's composition and I discovered that you are allergic to one of the ingridient . You were so careful about medication . Why will you intake something you were allergic to . I will not let it go . I smell something fishy and I will find it out . And I want to say that you will never be forgotten . I will be the girl you wanted me to be . I will go to college and have the future that you dreamt of for me .

I love you !
