My dad called police immediately and reported them what had happened. Police came within half an hour and took my mom. My dad told them that he killed his wife. I didn't know why he did that. Police arrested him.
Our company lawyer tried to bail him out. But he said he didn't want to come out and he refused to meet people. He came for Mom's funeral. He took me alone to talk.
"Dad loved mom a lot Eric. She is everything to me. When I had to choose one, I chose you. Because you are the example of our 20 years togetherness." he said while crying. I never seen him crying before that.
"Eric, I miss your mom already. If dad is not there to support you, you have to take care of everything. Dad transferred all the properties and our company to your name. I wanted you to take care of it when you grow old."
"Dad, I don't want that. I want you. Please be with me." I cried out.
"No Eric, I can't be here. Your mom's memory will haunt me. I have to study well and be a great business man."
"No dad. Please"
"I am leaving now Eric. Aunt Anna will take care of the business till you grow up. Once you grow up you have to take care of it. Bye".
He kissed on my forehead and left the place. I cried out. Everyone left me before I understood the feeling of having family.
After a week, Anna got a call from police station telling that he committed suicide. We rushed there. We got my father after all the procedure and took him home. We finished his funeral ceremony and everything was settled. My dad married Andrea against his family will. So they disowned him. Andrea's family also was not ok with that. Only Anna supported them from beginning. They didn't come for their funeral also. I never seen them.
Anna sent me to Europe after my dad's funeral. I went away from everything and everyone when I was 5 years old. Anna used to come and meet me once in while. But she would not have enough time. She was taking care of entire Excellence corporation. He always busy. I could not blame her. Because she was helping us through out the entire time. Our Company was growing and growing. She used to call me once in a while. She got married after sometime. She wanted to adopt me. But her husband was not okay with that. He allowed her to work in Excellence corporation because of the profit. But he didn't allow her to meet me.
I finished my schooling and applied for graduation. I was alone for almost 13 years. I had lot of maid and workers in home to take care of. I never spoke with any of them. If I wanted anything I would ask them. I became very rude and ruthless. I did not know the meaning of the word "MERCY". I always wanted others to obey me. I was just 18."
I said this to Chaaya. She was crying with me. Her eyes were red. She gave me tissue box and a glass of water.
"I think this is enough for today. Don't worry Eric. Everything will be fine one day" She said.
"Okay. When I have my next appointment?" I asked.
"I will send you a mail" She said and looked into my eyes.
I turned around and left without telling anything.
I went home around 9 in the evening. I changed into my pajamas and took mate and blanket and went to back yard. I placed the mate and blanket near to my bunny and laid down. I kept my right hand on the grave.
This time I missed Jennifer more than anyone. I messed everything up. It had been 2 months. I didn't get a call or message from her. I even sent mails to her asking her to come back. But I didn't receive any response. She disappeared from my entire life. But she broke my heart completely. I fallen in love with her when I saw her for the first time. I never believed in love at first sight. It happened when I met her. I slept off while I was thinking about her.
