 I felt light footsteps following me and as I turn back to look at the shadow, I find my friend Emmy looking at me with wide eyes. I still don't understand what is wrong with her all I did was tell her that I was moving to Italy. 

"Nitara Rosso , you are telling me that you are moving to Italy in a week just because your so called dad who went to buy milk 12 years ago is back and is  requesting you to go to Italy because he misses you? what in the world is wrong with you." Emmy asked looking stunned. 

I gasped at her choice of words "Emm you ca- cannot talk like that, after-all he is my father. I know he l-left a few years back b-but he says that he misses me and maybe he regrets leaving us."

I was born in Santo Domingo but I had been always familiar with the air of Italy as my mom was from Dominican Republic but my dad was from Italy. We were a very happy family  that was until one day Papa decided that he no longer wanted to do anything with me or mama and disappeared without a trace. Mama was left heartbroken and with no money in hand and no contacts. she had no choice but to move back to her hometown. 

Papa had always been the kind the of father one could ask for. he loved mama. he took care of us and provided mama with everything she wished for. they met at a club in Italy and it was more of a one nightstand but eventually he feel in love with my mom and the had me. my mom told me stories about them and how she still cared for him even after he left her without any explanation. Maybe she knew why he left. Maybe she did not want to accept the fact that the man whom she left her family for no longer wanted us .   

"Buttercup you don't realise what you are talking about that old hag and good for nothing father of yours is playing tricks with you. He was gone for 5 years and now he is back as if nothing happened. what is he married someone else? or has a evil daughter? what if your step-mother gets jealous of you and try to corrupt your lil soul? no , this is so not happening." emmy said shaking her head. 

"emmy what makes y-you think that he married someone else and even if he d-did what if she is nice to me? also I want answers from h-him. i have lived in dark for s-so long" Iwhispered 

Emmy sighed " whatever you say my love just stay safe and your phone should be on at all times. if anything and I mean anything happens you will let me know and i will book a ticket to Italy and put that sperm donor in his place."

"I love you emmy" I said as I hugged her goodbye. 

" First of all ewu, just because you are cute doesn't mean that you can hug me, or umm maybe you can but do not and I repeat do not ever forget about me or I will smack that ass of yours"

"maybe I'll like that" I said and ran before she could say another word.

Once I reached home, I took a hot bath and stated to read my new book. books are like a escape to me. whenever I feel low I read books . books make me happy. so did Papa but he left. Now I can't help but think why is he back. with a heavy heart and overflowing thoughts I go to sleep.

I look out of the window and stare at the  dark alleyway , the only source of light being the streetlight which is almost about to die . I sit back and think of all the happy moments and without realizing a tear roll out of my eye , I look up at the stars  looking beautiful as ever and shining in the dark sky.

"I am sorry mama" with that I fall asleep.
