Her Strong Determination, His Fate

Chapter 10 : A shining night under the sky

It's been a week now, when Kia got married, I missed her but I don't know how to express my feelings so to cheer up myself I ask mum that I want to go Neha's house.

Me : Mum, mamma where are you ???

Mum : I am on terrace, Annie....

Me : Okay mum ! Am coming on terrace then.

Mum : Alright.....

Me : Mamma what are you doing here ??? You know very well that this is my area.

Mum : hummm...I know I know i was come here just to take fresh air.

Me : I know mamma you are missing sista Kia, but not me....I make a pout like a little pupp while drawing her attention towards me.

Mum : oh my baby.... feeling jealous, but you need not too because u will be always my little Anna, my life and mamma loves you the most.

Me : I love you too mum and I'll always take care of you.....

Mum : hummmm....okay so what you want Anna ???

Me : I was little confuse that how come mom know that I wann ask her something....

Me : Muuummm, can I visit Neha for a night ???

Mum : Are you asking me to stay there ???

Me : yes mum !!

Mum : Well....in that case you need to ask to your dad about it.

Me : Mum but you know dad will not give me permission easily.

Mum : hahahaha.....oh darling u know very well how to ask something from dad.

Me : I wink at mom.... alright mom !! I'll think something....

I played chess, board games and also watch some movies just to pass my time with yatin and waiting for dad to come at home...."ting ting - the door bell ring, I look at watch and it's past 8pm. I know it must be dad. Mom is going to open the door but I stop her and I open the main door saying....hi daddy with a sweet smile on my face....dad is looking at me wierdly and I know he must be thinking what is wrong with this girl because am giving him smile.

Daddy give me your bag, I'll take it upside. I took his bag from his hand and was about to go upstairs and then he called me..." Annie, I stop there and turn my face towards him from staircase. Come here....he said. I came downstairs....yes daddy. What are you up to, " he asked ". Nothing dad why, why are you asking. "Do you need anything", he asked raising his right eyebrow....ammmm yes dad...I replied thinking inside whether he will allow me or not. What you want - he asked again ??? "Dad I want to visit Neha for a night stay", I have something to do with her, I said in one go.....and what is something that for what you need a night out which you know I won't allow....he said while staring at me. Dad I need to visit her for web designing, yes I am taking online classes for that and with the help of that I was able to design the wedding card for Kia, which you all liked. I said while looking in his eyes. You also need not to worry as I am going to stay with her only not with boys. She also has a family like us and I hope you understand that no boys will be welcome at her home by her parents for night out. I said assuring him. He paused for a moment before saying anything as if he was thinking internally and in the meantime I spoke again.... please dad you know it's just for 1 night...I really want to do this....I said while making a sad face.

He looked at me and said, " Okay". I said what okay.....he said okay you can go. I was so surprised and in my excitement I jumped up and down and unknowingly I hugged my father after so long time. He stay stand stiff there and I don't know why I am thinking this but a part of me was keeping on saying me.... Ann you can make a comeback of your father in your life....you just need to try and have patience.....and with this we both went upstairs.

I know mom was waiting for us. When I come upstairs, she called me in kitchen, " Anna come here"....okay mom coming....I said. Shivi and Sheena are also here, so what your dad said. He said okay....you can go. Whhhhaattttt....mommy said with a surprise tone.....yes mum dad said I can visit Neha for a night stay. Shivi and Sheena they both said....but how is it possible. Dad never let us outside ever after 7pm then how he can allow her. I was watching towards mummy and could say she must be thinking something which she is not telling me but I will get to know about it soon. Mommy served all us dinner and while eating I was taking a glance of dad who was eating dinner without saying anything and we all were also Ssuuuuussssshhhhhh......

After dinner I went on terrace so spending sometime in all. All i just couldn't understand the reason behind the behaviour of dad, like I am okay if grandma's thinking is backward, I am also okay with the fact that in today's world no one put extra efforts to try to make someone's children's future but I just couldn't digest that what was it, what was it that dad is going far away from us. Sky is clear today so I lye down on the bench while looking at the stars, I and dad both like looking the stars at night, and according to me I can actually talk to them, they can hear me and in fact they are not from those who pass false judgements on others.......hey mum, how you here today ???? Why can't I come and sit with my daughter. Yeeeesssss...afcourse why not. Mum why is dad like that....he always refuse on anything whenever we going to ask him for something but sometimes I just don't get it that how he allow me some things so easy. It's because he loves you alot Annie...... I was surprised at mom's words.....realllllyyyyy. Cool air is touching my body and I can feel the goosebumps on my hands, I love the night time actually I am a night lover but whatever mum said to me, it's soothing my soul and I am happy also somewhere. All I need to do is just to make dad realize our love for him and make him proud on me one day.
