As soon as I and James went inside, I saw my dad having a party with his drunkard friends. It wasn't something new for me , because since my mom passed away it has been his regular drama. I was literally furious. James watched it all silently. Shamelessly my dad asked me to come and entertain his drunkard friends. He wanted my presence in between them just to let his friends enjoy. This was exactly what happened years ago, when my mom used to side with me and help me from this spoilt devil. And now that she has gone, he wants me to be for his own luxury and enjoyment treating me as a toy. The moment he said, "Rihanna, my beautiful Daughter. Come here. It's not like you are meeting them for the first time right? Come suit yourself. And ask them if they need anything. Just go and help them. They are our guest."
I said, "Are you serious? Stop pretending to be my dad. You already know what you are asking me to do, that too in front of this dirty people . Do you even know, how to treat a daughter?"
Dad said, "Just do what I am asking for. And stop questioning."
I said," James can you see, what's happening? This is exactly normal for me to face this. And all thanks to my dad. Now I guess you know why I hate him so much."
James said, "Rihanna just go to your room. I'll have a talk with your dad. Just go and relax."
After this, I went to my room. I didn't knew what happened when I got in. Later on when I came out of my room, I just saw James resting on sofa in living room. My dad was in his room and his friends went home. I went to put on the blanket for James but he woke up. I asked him, "What happened after I went in?" He replied that don't trouble yourself and go to sleep, just think that everything's gonna be right now. I felt so good to know that James is slowly involving himself in family matters and solving them as if it's his own problem . At least that gave me a ray of hope. After my mom at least there's someone I can trust .
[
conversation after I went inside went like this :
James : Uncle I think you should calm down . Don't let yourself waste so much energy on things like this. I assure you, give her some time . I'll make her ready for you. Don't worry.
Dad : What? It means you are on my side, aren't you?
James : Off course uncle.
Dad : I am so happy to know this. I am shocked to hear this from you, I thought you really like her.
James : Kind of.
(They hugged each other later.)
(While I was completely unaware of this, that time )
]
Next morning ,
I prepared breakfast for me and James .
I didn't saw my dad, probably he went early to his office.
James told me not to worry about these things again. And If I encounter this situation again and if I am unable to help myself, I should just contact him .
I packed the tiffin for James.
My cabin was a bit away from James's cabin.
I used to make coffee for him and give it to him personally in his office so that I can see him frequently.
He was usually busy every day helping out my dad.
I started packing tiffin for him almost everyday.
He even used to have dinner with me.
One day, I went in to give him tiffin and saw that he was busy with some paperwork.
He was so busy that he didn't even bothered to look at me. All he said was, "Keep it on the table."
I kept and asked if I can help him with anything. The moment I spoke he realised it was me who came in to deliver the tiffin. He immediately snatched all the papers and kept them in drawer. He asked me not to come in the cabin today as he is busy. And he will talk to me once we get home.
I said okay, I thought he might be really very busy. I asked him "Can I help you with anything?"
He immediately said no. I was like okay, calm down . I'll go. But when I turned I saw a paper lying on the floor. So I took the paper and wanted to give it to him. But he suddenly grabbed it from me as if it is so important that he doesn't even want me to know about it. He screamed at me and said "Can't you understand what I am trying to say, just get out for now." I was startled. Why is he suddenly behaving with me like this? I got tears in my eyes, but then James said he was sorry for his misbehaviour.
I said, "It's all right". And I came out of his cabin .
At night, I prepared dinner and cake.
Next day, it was his birthday, so I wanted to celebrate his birthday with him at 12.00.
I decorated the house. Everything was perfect, candles, balloons , birthday strips .
It was getting late than usual. So I called him and asked when was he going to return. But he didn't picked up. So I waited for him. It was already 12.15am so I cut the cake and ate it on behalf of him and prayed for his wellbeing. And unfortunately I slept their itself.
[James was busy partying with his friends in a pub . He purposely ignored my call. ]
I heard a knocking sound , it was already 7 am in the morning . I opened the door and saw James. I asked him why are you here so early? But then, off course how could I forget to wish him, So I hugged and wished him happy birthday.
He entered in the living room and saw yesterday's preparation, cake, dinner, candles and everything. He said he was really busy yesterday that even he himself forgot about his birthday.
I got fresh and went to prepare breakfast, till that he said he brought take out for us.
I opened the packing and started serving.
He kept looking at me, maybe he felt sorry for yesterday, that's what I thought.
I asked him, "Are you watching me for the first time? Don't be so amazed I look like this every day; my face isn't going to change nor my love!"
James said, "Are you serious that your love for me won't change?"
I said, "Do I need to prove?"
James said, "No, it's not like that. But what if I'll change someday and I won't be myself."
I replied, "Why? Weren't you like that to me before? Didn't I liked you back then? I did, right? Then what's with that weird question? I'll love you no matter what, because I know you won't change and even if you'll change, I know your love for me won't change, because you love me a lot."
James said, "How can you be so sure?"
I said, "Hey stop spitting nonsense. I don't like such kind of jokes."
He patted me on my head.
James asked, "What will you do if this is our last breakfast we are having together?"
I said, "Hey will you stop, else I am not going to eat any more."
James said," Just answer me this once."
I replied, "Then I will keep sitting here and won't let you finish our breakfast forever. So that this won't be our last breakfast."
James said, "You are really stupid."
I hugged him. He wondered, why am I hugging him suddenly?
I said, "I don't know why, but the question you just asked me, I imagined it. I really won't be able to live without you James. I already lost my mom and now I don't have anyone except you. You are the only reason I am surviving."
He suddenly got a call and he went out to answer it.
We went to the company together as usual.
I went in his cabin to deliver a file, and found out that he was very happy .
I asked him the reason and he said, "Today's the start of my happy future days."
I found it childish.
At night,
When I went home I saw my dad hanging on the ceiling of the fan in his bedroom. He committed suicide leaving behind a note.
I started sweating. I called James, but his phone was not reachable. I called police.
