Location: Domodedovo airport (DME) Russia.

" All passengers on Lufthansa air flight are requested to go to the departure lounge, the plane will begin boarding in 10 minutes."

At that voice, I moved towards the counter and checked in.

" Mam this is your boarding pass. You will be boarding at gate 22 at 6:35", lady at the counter said with a smile on her face.

With that, I took one last view of the place, bid my adieu, and got inside the plane.

******FLASHBACK*****

" Pappa, do you remember the promise you made me yesterday About my birthday gift? It's still intact right? "

My dad had laughed at my question, "Of course kiddo, Lawrence's never break their promises. Ask me anything that you want. "

" Promise. ......?"

" You have my word sweet pea" he replied.

With that, I put forth my request, more of a request in front of him with the most convincing puppy dog face and pleading eyes that I could muster .

" Pappa, before I even ask you any thing, thank you soo much.
Thank you , for giving me this great life,
Thank you for loving and taking care of me.
Thank you for bringing me up as an adorable daughter.
I couldn't have asked god, for any better fortune.
You were always there, when I felt alone,
you were always with me when no one else was,
you always guided me, whenever I was in trouble,
You held my hand, when I walked, caught me, before I fell.
You taught me to stay strong and believe in my self,
You did soo much for me,
I couldn't have asked for more.
I cannot thank you enough,
For all the love and care that you have given to me.
Love you pappa, more than myself,
More than my life.
Any man, can be a father, but it takes a special person to be dad.
I was like a little bird, to whom, you taught how to fly.
Now that I've learnt to fly, I want to explore the world dad.
I don't want to inherit the fortune, instead I wanna make my own.
For once in my life, I want to take chances,
I want to live as Fiona, not as Fiona 'Lawrence'.
I want people to respect me, for what I am, not because I'm your daughter.
I want to figure out myself dad..
Please, can I pursue my final high school year on my own? Away from Russia? Just on my own ability?
Without being watched, without being treated delicately, without being surrounded by body guards all the time?
Can I once live a normal life, and not the life of a celebrity? " I ranted breathlessly.

My dad looked as though he had seen a ghost. He was dazzled at what I had asked. He probably was thinking, what had he gotten himself with that promise.

After a long gap of silence, he began.

" Fiona, you do know what you are asking for right? This means that, there won't be any luxurious life, you can't afford to be extravagant, you are not accustomed to such a life sweet pea. You sure abou--"

I cut him in the middle, " I've never been so sure about any thing pappa,
Just this once, allow me to make my own decision please...." I asked with a puppy dog face.

After a lot of pleading, my dad succumbed to my request with a sigh...

" You know sweet pea, A father, is nothing but a high class hostage.
