Sitting in the plane, I am thinking how my life has changed within a span of few days.

My mind was swirling with thousands of questions.

What if they don't like me?
What if they don't approve of me?
Are they cruel?
Will I be caught in this mafia shit?

Oh these questions, they will surely give me a headache.

I checked my watch. Any minute we will be landing. Thank god. I can't just wait to meet these people who I might be calling my family in some time.

As my excitement reached cloud nine the plane landed. I took my luggage and walked towards the exit of the airport.

I quickly took a cab once I was out and told the driver to take me to Ferrari company.

Soon we were on the road, moving past the tall buildings and shops of the city. Wow! This city is just wow.

In no time I was standing infront of my dad's company contemplating whether to go in or not.

God please help me. Taking deep breaths I entered the building. The reception came into my view as soon as I stepped inside. The lady sitting behind the desk seemed to be running in her 50s.

Approaching the area I cleared my throat to get her attention.

"Hi sweetie. How may I help you?"
The lady asked.
She seems to be a sweet lady so I politely replied.
"Hii mam I have an appointment with Mr. Marco Ferrari under the name of Anisha. I am her daughter Rosa."

"Just a minute Rosa dear let me check and call me Athena. Mam is too old for my age."

"Sure Athena."

"Do you have any id for recognition?"

"Yup, just a second."
I searched my bag for my id card.
"There you go."

"Ok Rosa, I will call Bicana to guide you to Mr. Ferrari's office."

"Sure and Thanks!"

"Sure and Thanks!"

(Reception Desk)

Within a minute A young blonde lady came into view.

She looks like a walking barbie. I thought.

"Hey Athena! So what do you need me for?" Her voice pierced my eardrums.

"Bicana can you show Rosa to Mr. Ferrari's office?"

"Sure! Rosa right...come with me."

She started walking straight to the elevator on our right. I thanked Athena and followed Bicana to the elevator.

Once Inside she pressed the button with the number 15.

"Don't you think you are too young to be a slut to Mr. Ferrari?"

Her question took me off guard. I took a look at my dress. It was a knee length floral frock.

"Excuse me! Do I look like a slut to you? You just met me and started to slut shame me without even knowing me. Wow. Please do me a favour and take me to d...I mean Mr. Ferrari's office."

OH MY GOD! Was I about to call him dad? I thought
Well he is your dad. My subconscious reminded me.
Oh shut up!

The elevator door opened and we entered a door on right hand side.

"Mr. Ferrari, Miss Rosa here wants to speak to you." Bicana exclaimed in her usual high pitched voice.

"Miss Rosa? I had an appointment with Miss Anisha if I am not wrong."

"That would be my mom." I said.

My 'dad' who was till now engrossed in his paperwork looked up and met my eyes.

"Bicana please leave us alone and close the door behind you." After a moment of silence 'dad' spoke.

"Sure sir!" As soon as the door closed I was asked to take a seat. I sat on the chair infront of his desk and looked around the office.

Classy and Modern.
These two words explained the interior of the office.

My gaze met 'dad'

My gaze met 'dad'. It looked like he was in deep thought. To bring him out of his what seemed like an interior battle I cleared my throat. This snapped him out of his thoughts. Now his face was blank. Void of any emotion.

Does his face looks like this all the time? I thought

"So Rosa what brings you here?" He questioned in a cold voice.

Without answering him I searched my bag and took out a letter given by mom. She asked me to give to 'dad' the moment he asked me this question. I guess this letter explains everything.

I had asked Athena to take care of my suitcase for  a while so I just have my sling bag with me right now.

Giving the letter to dad to inspect it I slouched back in my chair.

After a through inspection of the letter he looked up at me. His face was blank but I swear I saw his eyes soften.

"So you happen to be my unknown daughter, how do I believe you? For all I know you could be a rival to my company or some gold digger."

I couldn't stop chuckling at that

"Do you find anything funny Miss Rosa?"

"No da...I mean Mr. Ferrari. It's just that my mom and your wife seemed to know you pretty well. She knew you would not trust me." I took out my necklace from my neck. "There you go. A sign that I am a Farrari as well. And if you have further doughts then I am ready for a DNA test."

"Ok! Let me call my family doctor."
As soon as these words came out of his mouth he took out his phone and dialed a number and conversed in what seems Italian.

"Wait for sometime."
