"D-dad..."
The word sounded so soft but was clearly heard by the old man. His whole body froze and eyes ran over the lady sitting before him. His expression morphed into a complicated gaze.
Rhea stared back at the man, her eyes held mixed feelings and was glittering with tears. The man before her at the moment was indeed her father. It was her father!
They were sitting before each other but the affection they used to share seems to be no more. Rhea sat rigidly staring at the man, she prayed, hoped that be would extend a hand towards her once again just as he did before.
But this did not happen, the man merely stared at her, his gaze could not be fathomed. Even his thoughts at the moment were unreadable. He had clearly heard her call him 'dad' but, why was there no reaction?
Had he forgotten? Everything they had shared in the past? Even if he left then, Rhea still held her father with so much affection in her heart.
