At the same time in the airplane to country X from Ireland,
Desmond was unable to sleep. He is curious. He is going to meet his daughter for the first time.
'Sometimes she may hate me because I never cared her..... daughter I did not know what you are feeling now. Give me a chance to correct myself. I know it is not my fault. I was not even aware that a part of me is struggling somewhere. She might have struggled too much. Without parents near her. I know Jane was never happy after she left me. The small messages that she sends me serves as the energy for me to live. Now I have a hope. I have a daughter, son in law and daughter in law.
I am really worried on my daughter's reaction towards me.
Oh no..... I forgot to ask her name....
He messaged Jane
Lea was cutting vegetables. She sat in the dining room for doing this. Standing for a long time in the kitchen makes her feel dizzy due to pregnancy. Also she want to cook food for her father with her own hands.
Joesph's phone rang.
Dad has left the phone in the living room when he went out.
Lea took the phone.
"Desmond" The name showed on the screen.
She picked it up. going to hear the sound of her father for the first time.
"Dadda"... instead of saying hello, she addressed him as dadda.
No sound from other side. She was confused. "Dadda, you there? ."
"Annie, how are you, my daughter?"
"I am fine. dad went out. So I picked the call when I saw your name. When will you be reaching here dadda?"
"Early morning 6 o clock we will reach there. By eight o clock we will reach your home.". he replied.
"Who all are with you?". She was eagee to see her dad's family.
"Your grandma, your aunt Juliet and Your cousine sophie.".
"Okay. Dad has made all arrangements for you to stay in one of his mansion dadda. But you all straight away come here. I will get breakfast ready for you all. " she invited them.
"Annie, my little girl, I miss you a lot. I am so eager to see you. " He was finding difficult to hold his tears.
"Dadda my name is Lea."
"Annie is the name your mum and me decided to call yoi when you were born. She was just three months pregnant when she was called back home. When I came to know about your existence, the first thing I did is register your name in our family register. You are Annie Kelly. Daughter of Desmond Kelly and His ex wife Jane.". he said.
"Ok dadda, we will wait for you.".
Jane hung up the phone and saw Fred watching him.
She hugged him and placed her head on his chest. He felt her tears on his chest. He know how she is feeling now. What else ... like a kid ... who wants to cuddle with her parent. He remembered how his parents cared him.. What would have she done when she fell fever or when she had to face any mishaps... Without his parents he could never imagine a childhood. He know well what she is missing and what she got back. May be her father is also missing the same feeling his parents had to him..
