"Let's talk seriously Rosa"

"I don't do serious old man."

He audibly signs making me feel guilty for behaving like a brat. So like the good girl I am, I turned into my serious mode.

"Ok...Ok. Look I never wanted to create any havoc. I could have easily run away from here but I choose otherwise and I have my reasons for that. So if you all will stay quiet and listen to me without any interruption, it would be great." After getting a nod in agreement from everyone I continued. "Before your kidnapping, I was planning on visiting you. I wanted an end to this war going on between both the mafias. We truly are giving satisfaction to those who wanted this to happen. A war. An endless feud. Both the families are living in fear. Both of us need the escape and we will get it by joining hands. I know that your sister was killed by us but in turn, you killed our whole family. We can't hold this against each other forever. So I request you to join hands with us once more but this time a stronger truce so that no one can break them. For years we are in it and we are gaining nothing. Just consider it once. The pros are better than the cons. I give you my word for our loyalty. Please just for once."

Silence could be heard throughout the room. They were contemplating my offer and I had no problem. This is a big decision to take.

"This young lady has got a point." Grandpa Ivonav stated. I breathed a sigh of relief.

"What the fuck are you saying, dad?"

" Mind your language and tone in front of me old man" I chuckled at that.

"But grandpa..."

"No buts my boy. She is right. We need this."

"Exactly your financial status is not that good. Your shipments are getting destroyed by your members and you need us."

"And where the hell did you get the information from. More importantly, why do you need us?"

"I was going through your stuff when I came here the first time and we don't need you directly but we want the friendship. The strong bond. The feeling of safety. Don't worry about dad. He will agree with me once he hears us. One of us needs to take the initiative."  

"Where did you find the key?"

"Um... you see the guard you placed near my cell was a pervert and I am a seductress so you know I kind of killed him and took a bunch of keys from his pocket. I used them to open up the drawer. Either you gave him the keys or he was a traitor."

"Traitor."

"So what do you think? Wanna work with us or...?"

"Work with you." Mr. Ivonav stated.

"Yes!"

I leaped from my chair and hugged him tightly. A few moments later I felt his arms wrap around me and squeezed me. It felt as if he will cry any second. The boys and grandpa joined us. Oh! How much I love group hugs or hugs in general. 

"Do we have more dad?" One of the boys asked after we broke apart.

"I don't know but we have more of them. They are in a bunch but from a small gang. They are highly unprofessional and high-tech idiots."

"And so are you. Who the hell keeps such file in here locked with a key? Are you dumb or are you dumb?"

"You are annoying." One of the boys exclaimed. 

"We have something else Rosa." Great now ignore my comment rather than acting on it.

"What now?"

"Your uncles and cousins are not dead."

"Ya, I kn...Wait what? Say that again. Did I hear it right? Seriously. My family is alive. You are going to release them right? They are going to be free right? Come on why are you so quiet say something please." I rambled on 

"We will release them in a day or two. We will take you to your family in a week. You can talk to them in the meanwhile. Your uncles, aunts and cousins are all good. Even though they are kept in a cell but we never inflicted any harm on them. We are not animals. Your family is safe and sound just locked up in a cell."

"You guys are my family too right?"

They looked at each other and replied, "Yeah, we are."

I grabbed one of their phones and called dad.

"WHAT?" His voice boomed making me push the device a little away from my ear.

"Woah, dad! Is this how you greet your daughter?" I sassed. I missed him.

"Rosa? Rosa Rosa where are you? Don't worry we are planning our attack. We are coming for you."

"Dad, dad relax ok? I am all good. No harm done and no need for an attack. I will be back within a week and then we need to talk seriously. And I don't do serious so this is important. Ok?'

"But Rosa..."

"Dad trust me ok? I will meet you in a week. Keep yourself safe. Call off your men. I will talk to my brothers later and stay with Emily. See you later. Bye! Love ya!"

"Love you too Rose. Don't make them shave their heads." He chuckled. 

Rose! He called me Rose, making unwanted memories surf up but I buried them as quick as they came. He is my dad and this is the only reason I am allowing him to address me as Rose. No one else can. Never!

Grinning I hanged up.

"You didn't tell him about his brothers?"

"Nope, I wanted to keep it a surprise. I want to see their reaction when I give them this news. So now guys I realized something." 

"What?"

"I don't your names stupid."

"Oh"

"Exactly oh. So start introducing yourself."
