It wasn't the first time my dad did this he always does this, first made a lot of promises to me and then just forgot all of them all, I felt so broken, so disheartened that nobody knows, when I reached home he was gone, gone for a business meeting. I waited the whole day just to meet him had an ice cream or whatever with him and spent time with him but he wasn't home when I came, the tears were falling down my cheek my heart was broken into several pieces once again.
My dad is everything I had. My mom died 5 years ago her death was the biggest misery I ever had, I was just 12 at that time. Her death made a hole in my heart a hole that is so deep that if someone tries to someone step on it they will surely fall too deep. I was depressed for a very long time but my dad was here, he took care of me like a glass doll he treated me like a queen. I was always so attached to my dad. My love for my dad is uncontrollable, he surely is the best person I know, we used to spend a lot of time and had a lot of fun but from a year he started getting busier day by day. He is always in meetings he seemed tensed all the time, he always restrict me to my house, I also wanted to go to parties and return home late like a normal but he never allowed me, it made me furious Kevin was allowed by his parents to go everywhere, Ayesha was also allowed to go everywhere but I wasn't, I wanted to go to Adam's party but I knew my dad would decline my wish
I was really very down but still, I waited, for my dad, it was almost midnight but he didn't return I went to the kitchen to have some snack suddenly Ms. Claudia entered the kitchen too she was wearing her silk purple nightgown, her light brown hairs were opened she was wearing the crystal necklace that she wore all the time, she was a year or two younger than my mom but she looked like she was in her late 20s she was so beautiful that I couldn't stop myself from admiring I wonder why she never got married; "Aurora darling why are you up this late?!" she asked me, her voice, there is something unique about her voice the calmness, the softness, the kindness any person can simply fall just for her voice; "Oh... no.. no I was sleeping, I just felt thirsty" I lied to her. "I know you are waiting for him, darling he'll be late, just go to sleep" she, told me and just when she told me this the gate opened my dad came back my eyes shinned I looked at her with a proud face and ran toward my dad, "I hate you, dad!!" I angrily said. "Why are you up so late?" he asked me. "I couldn't sleep, Ms. Claudia was just telling me now that you'll be late and you came". "She is awake too? where is she," he asked "Ms. Claudia!!" I shouted her name to call her and as I called her name she came out of the kitchen. she was awkward, "I am sorry I told her to sleep but she didn't agree" dad looked at her and nodded and said, "You can sleep now Claudia I am back". "Dad you break the promise again!" I complained, "I told you so many times don't wait for me but why wouldn't you listen to me," he said to me, while looking at Ms. Claudia, and as he said this Ms. Claudia left.
I and dad were sitting at a dining table he was eating and I was watching him eat, " I have so many things to tell you Dad" I said. "Sweetie not right now, tomorrow is your college". I ignored it and started talking again "Dad isn't Ms. Claudia extremely beautiful like very beautiful". his facial expression changed, "hmm.....maybe". "Dad we should find a groom for her she looks very lo..." Suddenly, my dad started coughing I gave him the water, " You okay dad?". "I am tired ray, we'll talk later now let me go to sleep" he left after saying this, I couldn't identify what did I say wrong that he left without even wishing me good night, from the past few months I and dad become so distant before, we used to have lunch and breakfast together we used to talk a lot now all of the sudden everything changed, he changed. I felt so lonely nowadays, Kevin found a new best friend, Juliette umm maybe they'll be lovers, Ayesha was also busy with her cousin, who just came 5 days ago from her home town, while me, I had no one, no one, in particular, to talk to me to spent time with me, now I was realizing I should have made new friends like Elvin, he was so cool I liked him a lot not romantically, but as a friend, even though he is so handsome I couldn't resist admiring him.
I slept so late that opening my eyes at 6 am was so hard but Ms. Claudia kept trying to wake me up, "Honey, wake up" she said while moving her fingers through my hair, after my mom died dad brought Ms. Claudia from our LA house to here, to took care of me I still remember I was crying in the corner of the same room, she sat on her knees and ran her hand through my silky brown hairs, I felt back then my mom came, I started crying even louder she said to me in a sweet voice, "It's okay, you can cry your heart out" while smiling at me, her smile was so soft. I unintentionally hugged her and cried almost for an hour". From that day Ms. Claudia started her job here not as a maid or something but as my mother
I went down straight after waking up and getting dressed my eyes were searching for the man who had started ignoring me but my brain already knew he was gone. And guess what my brain was absolutely correct. I had my breakfast and then Mr., Ian dropped me at my college
"Tonight is Adam's party, his parties always had been amazing I am so excited bro," Ayesha said. "I can't come my dad won't allow me," I said. "You have to, Kevin please talk to her dad, please, please, please" Ayesha plead to Kevin. "I will try but I am not sure if he will allow her". I looked at Kevin he looked back he could sense the sad smile I had on my face. "Hey, Kevin can you help me with my assignment please," Juliette said in a flirty tone while waving at him. "Excuse me, guys I need to go, you guys enjoy," he said. Juliette hold his arm and they went somewhere, maybe the library. "Do, you also think Kevin and Juliette are in a relationship?" Ayesha asked curiously. "maybe". "man!!, I always shipped him with you" Ayesha mournfully said. "Ayesha stops it! We're just best friends". "Okay fine, now allow me to go my cousin is waiting," she said and left. Now I was all alone I decided to go to the library
The library was full of students I tried finding Kevin and Juliette but they were nowhere I sat at the table that was in the left corner, I took my novel out and started reading it. "hello" I heard this word it wasn't that hard to recognize who it was, "Hi, Elvin" I didn't see him the whole day he. "Wassup". "Why didn't you attend classes" he ignored what I said and asked me another question instead, "what are you reading?". "Oh, this! This novel is the English translation of a Chinese novel Ms. Claudia gifted me". "Ms. Claudia?" he asked. "She is my caretaker". He started laughing as I said this. "what's so funny huh?" I was offended "My dear don't you think you are enough years old to take care of yourself" he said while giggling. "Ye...ah but like umm" I couldn't say anything cause even if I did not accept but he was speaking the truth, "Are you coming to the party?" he asked me. and before I could say anything he replied to himself, "Sorry, I forgot you are too little your Dad won't allow you "I was offended and told him angrily "Of course, I am coming". "Will see" he said while winking at me. I blushed, he then stood up and went out I watched him go but nobody could imagine what I was feeling right now I was worried that if I didn't go he would think I am a toddler and a chicken and I knew if I ask my Dad he will surely not allow me
