"Save daddy save... Mamma" screamed Hanna.
Fred looked around and took Hannah in his hands. Lea was also scared by her scream. Hannah buried her head in Fred's coat and held Lea''s hair in her hand just making sure she is there.
When turned around, Fred saw a familiar figure. It was the owner of that jealous and scary eyes. If he cannot recognise her then who else in the world can. But he don't know why Hannah cried.
He hugged her strong and consoled her. "What happened my dear, daddy is here so don't cry. I am here to save you and mummy. Look at mummy. She is also fine. Tell me baby what happened?"
Hanna: I saw her. She tried to hit mommy with her car.
Fred: Who did this to your mommy?
Hanna: That aunty near that shop.
A scary feeling went down his spine. She is pointing to the place where 'she' was standing. He felt dry all over the body.
Fred: Are you sure?.
Hannah: Daddy dont leave us. She will kill us. She once came to my school also before hitting my mommy. Its scary when she look at me.
Lea: I have not seen anyone there. May be you might have seen someone else. Fred, she saw the one who hit me on that day. That is why she is behaving so..
Fred looked at Lea. He understood that Lea has no idea of the one who hit her. If Hanna recognised her, then no doubt it was an attempt of murder.
Fred knows well who it was, his ex wife, Joan.
This is too much disgusting. "Let us go", Fred pulled Lea towards him and placed Hanna on his shoulder.
As soon as he reached the car, his driver opened back door. They entered in the back seat and Hanna was still hugging Fred.
A few moments later she slept.
He noticed Hanna who was silent.
Fred: Why didn't you remarry after Michael's death?
Lea: I can't think of someone else in his place.
Fred: Why you did not die then.
Lea: How can I, my Hannah is innocent. I am living for her.
Fred: Sacrifice your life for her?
Lea: I am happy to do so (irritated by his questions).
Fred: Your kid need me. She needs you too. I clearly understand that both of your lives are not safe outside our home. Don't feel bad. I can't have any kids. I can take care of both of you. Will you marry me?
Fred felt it was a bit early to propose but they are in danger. Only this way he can make them safe.
Fred : Take your time. Dad and mum.wants the same. Hanna too...
Tears rolled down her eyes. She wept inside," Micheal Hanna is safe now. Let me join you.... I cannot see anyone other than you as mine'
