DECEPTION

Gift

Damon was in his study working on something, when his door knocked."come in..."

Mrs.jones entered ." sir.,myr....madam has called you in the terrace.She said it's urgent." all the while keeping her head down. Damon hummed in response.

He stood up to leave but not before turning his head back to her." u are a very loyal employee of mine.I have always appreciated that. i hope it stays like that forever''. Mrs.jones was started but nodded in response.

For others, it might be a compliment but only she could read between the lines.

...........

Damon walked towards the terrace only to find it completely dark. It was a new moon night. Everything was pitch black."Myra", he called.

Suddenly the lights turned on. Damon was surprised to see the entire place decorated beautifully. He was confused of what Myra was upto. HE knew she was always shy to do such things. did she do all this for him.something in him just ticked in him.

suddenly Myra appeared in front of him and Damon widened his eyes. she was so looking beautiful in a green dress that matches her eye color. she looked so innocent.

Myra blushed deep red under his gaze and a small smile formed on his face seeing her shyness.

Mustering her courage she forwarded a gift towards him. Damon was surprised. He did not expect this. Nevertheless, he took it from her and opened it.

Inside there was a cap. Damon took it out and turned it around only for his looks to turn from confusion to shock. On top of the cap was the word DAD written boldly. He looked at Myra only to find her wearing the same cap with MOM written on it. His face turned pale.

Myra looked at his reaction. "Damon", she called his name as if a prayer with so much love.

" We are going to have a baby Damon. Our family is going to be complete. I am so happy. You are going to become a father."He was still quiet ." Damon if you are still sad about that night then remember i have forgiven you. It is ok. This child is a blessing . Lets move on from that........ please say something. Are you not happy"..

Now his face was expressionless. Myra could not read him. He was still busy staring at her.

He gave a one last look at her belly , turned around and left.

Myra called his name from behind but he did not stop and left the penthouse, leaving her all distraught and despondent. Myra was still processing his behaviour. 

She thought he would be ecstatic hearing the news. Before marriage she had always shared her dream of having her family and Damon always smiled at that.So what happened now.

she was gawking the now shut door with teary eyes from where Damon has just left. Seems like waiting has become a part of her life.
