Avery's POV
I am still not able to remember where I have seen that handwriting.
Huh.. Leave it. Dadda had told me not to put too much stress on my brain.
" Where is your washroom? " Caleb Sir asked me furrowing his eye brows.
" On the left side. " I told him motioning my hands towards the washroom door while he nodded.
I think I should ask Mom to bring some snacks for him as he has come here specially to meet me. As I was going to stand up on my feet, she came inside my room holding a tray full of sandwiches and a cup of black coffee and tea.
" Chiku, don't move. Sit quietly on bed. " She ordered as placed the tray beside on my bed adjusting my duvet.
" Yum.. " I exclaimed as I licked my lips seeing the yummy delicacies in front of me.
" Don't you dare to even think about it. You are not going to eat any of this,only a cup of tea for you. " She pushed my hand as I was going to grab sandwich.
" But.. " I tried to convince her but she interrupted me in between.
" No ifs and no buts. Don't make this puppy face, I am not going to melt with that. First get well soon and then you can eat whatever you want to.
I am going downstairs till then you talk to your Boss. " She kissed my forehead while I pouted.
Caleb's POV
" Son, come have some snacks. If you want anything else than you can inform me and don't get me wrong but Ava's father is quite strict. He doesn't like any male around her. I hope you are getting what I am trying to say. "
She asked me as I came out of the washroom and stood beside her.
" I definitely know what do you intend to mean. But trust me, I am no harm to her. She is still a kid and there is huge age gap between us. Moreover, I like mature girls. So, I don't think there can be anything happening between us. " I exclaimed giving her my hundred watt smile.
" Do whatever you want to do to keep her away from me but she will always come back to me. Because this story is not about a saint and a demon.
This is a story of a Satan and a Devil.
A saint may run away from the demon but a satan will always come back to its devil.
Both of them may look similar but there is a huge difference between the two.
And trust me your daughter is a big Satan over here, you just have to read her innocent eyes. "
I whispered in her ears giving my devilish smirk. She gave me a deadly glare and marched towards Ananya.
" Chiku.. Your boss is quite a wise man at such a young age. I think I should do a little bit chit chat with him till then you drink your tea and no need to sulk you can eat these french fries." She ruffled Ananya's hair pointing towards the french fries lying on the side table.
" No problem, Mum. I know he is a wise man but please don't eat up his whole brain asking him thousands of questions. " She giggled grabbing her tea.
" i***t " Mrs. Jones murmered holding the tray and went towards the couch lying near one of the corners of the room.
I went behind her and sat on one side of the couch. This sitting area is in one of the isolated corners of the room so it is not easily noticeable from the entrance but the one sitting over here can easily see every nook and corner of the room.
She placed the snacks on the table gesturing me to have them. After glancing the whole room, I took my coffee and started sipping it.
" You still remember it. " I whispered sipping the drink.
" Huh" She creased her brows in confusion.
" Black Coffee with Sugar " I murmured easening her frown.
" Life is a beautiful mess, Neil. How much you try to come out of this mess, you won't be able to do so.
So, rather than trying to get out of it and making it more messy. It's better if you learn to start enjoying it. "
She spoke as I gulped the content of my drink.
" Maybe you are correct. Maybe life is a beautiful mess.
But what about that person whose life has been snatched away from him.
Without a mess, a life is meaningless less but without a life, a mess is a midlife demise. "
I whispered as she looked at my face intensely. She sighed and shifted her gaze towards Avery who was busy munching her snacks with an adorable expression on her face.
" She is my daughter and I will do everything in my power to protect her. If you think she is a kid then you being a mature one here leave her on her own fate.
You don't know what she is going through Caleb. You have no idea about her sufferings.
So, it's better for both of you to not cross each other's path. "
A frown appeared on my face hearing her words but I instantly disappeared my expressions by giving her a blank look.
" Well you- " Before I could speak something a voice interrupted me so to have a clear view of the intruder I glanced towards the source of the sound.
" Baby, you woke up from your beauty sleep. There I was worried for you and here you are eating French Fries. Not Fair. "
The same hospital guy spoke as he barged inside the room without even knocking and plopped down beside her on bed.
He first kissed on her right cheek and then on her left cheek making my blood boil and then grabbed the bowl of snacks from her hand.
" These are mine. You have yours. I am not going to share. " Avery whined while snatching the bowl from his hand.
" What ever that is yours is mine too. So, technically these are mine. " He shrugged and abruptly snatched the bowl which made her fall on his body.
Now, this was the limit. Limit... to watch this s**t going on here. My jaws clenched seeing their close proximity as I in quick strides marched towards them and pulled her from his body with a jerk.
" Just stay away from her. Dare you lay a single finger on her body and I will rip your hands out and feed them to my dogs. " I yelled gritting my teeth while pulling her close to my chest.
