The next day it was already evening and Sam was still in the bed laying down staring at the ceiling she wasted her whole day doing nothing but sleep away from her problems. It was foolish of her to do but it always helped her but this time it didn't no matter how much she tried to sleep she couldn't it was like right now sleep hated her and it frustrated Sam.
Staring at the ceiling blankly a tear slipped down Sam wiped it but then again she couldn't stop the overflowing tears of hers. Turning to the other side of the bed Sam was sobbing remembering the thing that her Grandma said that hurted her the most.
Last night when Sam's grandma left the room saying the words Sam never expected from her. Sam couldn't hold it in anymore so she brokedown letting all her emotions out and after that night she's been doing nothing but crying.
Sam hated herself right now for being this pathetic and being sacred for asking a permission. For others it felt easy but for her it wasn't after what she have experienced. She shivered remembering it she couldn't even think about it but she had to move on from it she can't always let her past stop her from doing things she wishes.
A sound of notification distracted her from her thoughts. She turned her head back to other side of the bed wiping her tears Sam took her phone and unlocked it. It was a message from Namjoon her lips immediately curled up in a smile.
'Good night Sam' she smiled even widely before typing it back. Soon tears welled up in her eyes she didn't know why maybe because she missed them or is overwhelmed.
Her crying period was interrupted by the knock on the door. She quickly wiped her tears sitting up before answering "come in" but her dad was already peeking his head. Typical Indian parents don't have patience she rolled her eyes internally.
Mr. Nakul came inside and closed the door behind. He stared at her daughter who looked a total mess. Her puffy red eyes, her black messy bun. Sighing he asked "What's wrong!?" He sat on the bed facing her daughter. "I heard from your mom and Grandma that you didn't come out of your room whole day and refused to have a single meal" He spoke his eyebrows raised waiting for Sam's answer.
Sam on the other hand was scared of her father and the look he's giving right now. She pursed her lips not knowing what to answer. Seeing the expression of her daughter Mr. Nakul sighed again not wanting to burst out because Sam looked at the verge of crying. "What's wrong beta!?" He softly asked putting his hand on Sam's legs.
Sam broke down again she couldn't hold it not infront of her dad. She wanted to tell him but to scared of his reactions. Mr. Nakul was surprised at the sudden burst out but he sat there confused of how to console her elder daughter. So he sat there waiting for her until she's done. Sam wiped her tears damn she really cries ugly.
Seeing Sam like this it ached Mr. Nakul heart too. He can't see her like this and worried of her health.
"I'm sorry" Sam muttered fidgeting her fingers. "For what!?" Mr. Nakul asked his brows dip down in confusion. Sam didn't know what she was sorry for but she felt like apologizing.
I'm really a fool....
Sam c'mon you can do this...
Let's ask for it. It's now or never!!
Sam didn't know the cause of the unexpected motivation that came in her. After talking to herself Sam was ready to talk she can't let her dreams and hardwork go in vain. She looked up and when their eyes met she immediately looked down in fear.
Damnn he's scary....
She thought to herself and stared at her Dad again taking a deep breath she opened her mouth to speak but her mouth was left wide open not only that but here eyes too as she saw her dad slip something towards her.
She immediately turned her head to dad and met with an blank expression. Her dad was difficult to read. "I found this in the email box" he spoke opening the envelope. Inside there was a passport and visa he tilted his head to Sam's side who was avoiding his gaze. "So you're planning to go somewhere? Huh!?" Mr. Nakul asked again.
Shit!! Shit!! He found out before me!!
Sam was panicking internally but outside it didn't look like one. "Papa i was going to tell you–" she was cutt of by her dad "When!?" He asked his voice deep which for sure sent shivers down Sam's spine. "Uhm...today...Oh I-I mean right..now" Sam stuttered in fear.
"So where you're going!?" Mr. Nakul asked checking the Visa.
Sam sighed before speaking "I won't beat the bush around I wanna shift to South Korea and complete my Designing studies there."
'Ohh' was the only words left out from Mr. Nakul's mouth. She heard her Dad and was confused but let that slide. "Soo...can I shift there!?" Sam asked. "I really wanna go there and do what I love too....you know I have always been fascinated by colors and arts" she mumbled playing with the hem of her shirt. Ready for whatever that was gonna come.
Mr. Nakul nodded remembering how Sam always loved colors and beautiful things and the smile that came after seeing the arts. "Are you sure you wanna go there!?" He asked softly staring at her daughter. Sam just hummed. "Then go and do what you love" saying that he put his hands on Sam's. Surprised was not the right word to describe what Sam exactly felt. She was speechless looking at her dad and his warm smile.
Sam jumped on Mr. Nakuls arms hugging him tightly and crying. "Thank you...Th-Thank youu so much dad....Really Thank you so much" Sam was thankful to her dad. Mr. Nakul smiled and patted Sam's head few tears also escaping his eyes. He broke the hug and wiped Sam's tears cupping her cheeks. After all Sam was still a cute kid for him.
"You know you can ask me anything right!? Don't hesitate to ask for something that you love." Mr. Nakul spoke.
Sam nodded wiping her runny nose. "Sam you gotta be careful, okay!? I know you're very passionate about your dreams but be careful I don't want something wrong occur like it happened years ago" The sudden turn in atmosphere changed to happy & emotional one to serious conversation when Mr. Nakul warned Sam.
Sam just let go of her dad's hands gulping the lump formed in her throat. Shivering at remembering it she opened her eyes. She knew her dad is concerned about her. "Don't worry Papa it won't!!" She said smiling brightly. That brought a smile to Mr. Nakul's face too and he patted her head before giving her forehead kiss.
"I love you so much Dad!!" Sam expressed and threw herself once again on her Dad's arms and earning the same response back.
