Two years Ago, Rachid and his daughter Astou where inside a car heading toward a formal party they were invited at.
The father and daughter duo were chatting animatedly and laughing.
To tell the truth, Rachid was infertile meaning he can't have a children of his own so Astou was Adopted when she was a crawling, eating, pooing, sleeping baby.
Rachid didn't hide it from her and she knew it since she was 13 still in her eyes he was still his one and only father.
Also Rachid never married in his life (But he had his fair share of women to sleep with so no worries) so all the caring and loving came from him and maids he hired during her childhood.
"And remember when we tought you go lost inside the forest but you were actually inside the sheep's pen eating mangoes." Rashid said with a boisterous laughter.
Astou rolled her eyes as she felt exasperated at her father's laughter.
But soon smiled as she recalled the memory.
"Well I was three at the time so when I tasted mangoes for the first time it was so sweet I wanted more. So when Anna told me where she got it I thought I could get one." she replied.
"Well you couldn't climb the tree so just took the one that fell on the ground... Now that I think about it, Did you even wash it before eating?"
"Well.... Why do you think I had stomach ache after?" Astou asked.
"Hahaha.. I remember grandma had to feed you her homemade medicine for the remainder of that day." Rashid replied laughing heartily. "He used to feed me those quite often back in the days."
"I wonder if some of your mischievousness ruled off on me huh?" Astou eyed his father with a smirk.
"Well I was quite the handful lad back then...hehe.." He said remembering his childhood days.
"Hahaha... You bet. Grandma told me you used to run around the house butt naked chasing after the chickens and sheeps... Hahaha."
Rashid scratched his head feeling rather embarrassed of those memories and his daughter reminding them to him.
"Well, I dare say every children that grew in______"
BOOMM!!!!
Rashid's words were cut short when out of nowhere, a car driving at high speed crashed into theirs.
The world turned upside down as the car was sent somersaulting in the asphalt.
When it came to a stop a few seconds later people came rushing to help the injured. Other called the ambulances and even firefighters.
Rashid was in a mess he was practically soaking in blood although he didn't know if I was his or not. But he wasn't really worried for himself he was worried for his daughter.
He turned his head to take a look at her but his vision darkened and he fell unconscious.
--------------
Present time
A tear drop trailed on Rashid is cheeks and fell on the carpet.
Every time he remembered about that fateful day he can't help it. He missed his daughter so much.
Weeks after the accident he found out that two person died on that accident the driver of the car that crashed on theirs and his daughter.
Why he miraculously survived is mostly due to the other crashing directly on the side where her daughter was seated so it took the brunt of the force nevertheless he was actually heavily injured and even lost a leg a boke many bones inside his body. At the time even the doctors who where looking after tought he was done for but after weeks of intense care, months of surgery and 1 and a half year of rest he was practically half and some of the man he was before.

A couple of seconds later, someone silently opened the door to Rashid's office. He was shrouded in all black head to toe. Only his eyes were visible under his mask.
The eyes were devoid of life as if the being wasn't human at all it just looked at it target emotionlessly and walked toward him. His steps were so silent as if he was walking on the air and not on solid ground. Out of nowhere, a black daggers materialised out of thin air and the being struck stabing Rashid from behind instantly piercing his heart.

Rashid never knew how he died he just felt a vague sense of fatigue washing over him his vision blurred and he felt his heartbeat decreasing critically.
His vision soon started to darken as he fell on the floor.
He died then and there with no one in the building knowing.
