Daniela's pov

Carrying Abby to our mini gazebo, lately I was terrified when she's continuing her crying I already gave her milk but still refused to stop crying, I'm trying to caddle and try to sing a lullaby until such time she leaned down her head in to my shoulder finally she get her sleepyhead into silence. A strange feeling sucked me out I don't know but I feel stranged things at this moment, I remain standing while semi-dancing style while cuddling Abby the purpose is that she wiĺl be comfortable and get some fresh air breeze from the garden.

From my view Greg our young boy walking under the heat of the sun while having a tall man together with him? Ow it seems that the man is not from here I know the people not all but almost. And that man I never seen him before,on the other side my mind tells something that he is quiet familiar to me and I refused it to point out. Looking from here Greg is coming towards in our gate, and knock it so loud enough to hear in here I supposed to walk in them to open the gate then I remember I have Abby with me now and fortunately my father already open it for them to shed the cool area of our house before they'll get taned.

A curiosity enveloped me then I decided to bring Abby inside to our room. Making sure she will be fine and let the door open a little bit so when she feel hungry and then makes some cheer then I could hear it from there. Sneaking from the window curtains I see my father talking to Greg while the stranger keep looking around, I don't know what's his intention after all he is a stranger. I moved out and be on the side of my father then I noticed Greg is nowhere to be found, a soft but enough to send a message hold to my wrist my father gave me I already know what is it all about following his mixed expression which I can't point out by now. A sudden cold nice voice out from the stranger's mouth then my father speak to me.

Honey he is looking for you, don't be rude go lead him to the garden which is the perfect spot for you if there's a problem I'll be inside okay honey?.. This time my father giving a command not a request so better to get going.

Yes papa, follow me sir at the garden if you don't mind.. Leading him to the garden is not a good idea, hope this man won't give us any headache. His cold nice voice speak to me with sense of determintion.

Hi, I'm sorry if I invade your privacy then by the way I am Nick Bret. Maybe this is not the right way to introduce myself to you, I think you are Daniela Radcliff?

As he introduced his self to me I look at his dark brown eyes,his nose, even his lashes and brows then oh my goodness his perfect shape red lips, Perfect!. I realized that he know my name.. From my position he looks so very familiar. Yes I 'm Daniela then what brings you here from a draging travelling or escapade?.

Yeah an escapade not travelling, your place is quiet far from the city but then it is worthy to travel. No fooling around I'm here for the reason you are my last chance to lead me to Jullie I know she's your sister and I hope you would help me. Your parents have a grudge me because I let Jullie that morning to leave without any noticed and by not looking after her whereabout for almost a year and I'm sorry for that.

I can't hide my expression of being shocked to what he revealed awhile ago, so he is the father of Abby? Oh my god no he will never know her at any chances he have, this bastard huh.. So you're my sister's run away boyfriend or you're the victim of her charisma.? Why did you do to take you so long? Almost a year right? Asking him more question I want o know how he leave or betray my sister of he is having a family, that is why I have a reason why I don't want him to know Abby.

Yeah the last 9 months I had my contract to one of our trusted investor and stakeholder to do a big project around the city  of New York, that is why I don't have more time to look after her only my private investigator. Then last two months my mother got hospitalized then I'm stock to another contract ended yesterday when I have my free time  haven't a field work I grab it to fly in here.

How did you know where is my place? How long did you two are bein tgether?

My private investigator told me and gave me your address which I thank it for you are her sister. Funny to tell you but we are not in official relationship that time, our mutual friends introduce us to each other then that night we had you know... To make the long story short that morning she is gone totally gone. My extra fault is that I don't know even her address, her parents,her work and everything about her but one thing I for sure she trusted me to be my woman. I know that is not formal my parents Haven't seen her but they know her already that is why they let me out for two weeks to look after you. 

As I listened you awhile ago you meet my sister because of your mutual friends right? Then okay let's get it to the point you had a one night stand and frim that moment that morning she's gone, maybe my sister is naive to take all that situation that is why she leaved you without any prints. Do you love her? I know maybe I am a hypocrite to ask you that question to you of course you meet at once.

No it's ok you have a nice question throwing at me, I think you wouldn't believe me since we met at once but then I want your sister to be my official girlfriend..maybe I love her.

A sharp pain touches me in deep inside of my heart, I wanna cry for this man is ready to meet my sister to offer her as his official girlfriend.. I missed you Jullie  your man is here to meet you. I look at him then trying him to follow me to some place. I never let him talk for awhile, watching his expression maybe he is in confussing mode where I supposed to bring him there. We take a cab for a couple of minutes then we already reach the place where maybe I can show him the way to spot her out.

Where we're going? In the cemetery? Are you okay? Oh my this is a public cemetery maybe you had a relatives here from one of those block.. Am I correct? HEy just answer me Daniela.. Asking me with so much questions helps me to detached my mind to realit..

Can you please shot up your mouth? Yeah I know this is a cemetery and it is so obvious right!? Your silence would help me a lot ok..!? Scolding this man at my back he keeps whining all the time is this the father of Abby? Oh my G!! After 10 minutes of walking we sitted on the grass under the oak tree, I personally chose this spot for she loves oak tree we used to play before to our neighbor's oak tree and we found it happiness, then a tear from my eyes suddenly falling down and trying him to comprehend what did I say lately.. I can see he is still confused all way long.

What do yu mean she loves oak tree?...yeah and we are sitting here by now, are you trying to give information about you sister's likes and dislikes maybe? Then that is a good idea but in cemetery I don't know it is.

Are you that dumb or what? How can you not get it ? Did you even try to look at your surrounding? How about these lots can you not see them or why not read them. This man will give me a hypertension..

Are you that crazy?? One day is not enough to read there names one by one, are you serious Daniela!? Of course I can't that is why I'am asking you. For example this one block names Richard Dee, this one on my left side Gregor Silver and this on my back Jullie Radcliff okay this three names maybe I can memorize them but all of them!? Wait! Wait......... Jullie Radcliff??

Promise Jullie your man it seems not smart enough to know you. I look at him carefully he is totally idiot man.. He read the names and I watch his handsome face with totally shock then a sad expression slit in his face. Then I know he already comprehend why we are here. Yes.. You are not dreaming you read her name Mr. Bret.

Ho...how... COuld it be? No maybe she have a the same name, how terrible is this..all I know we are here to talk to me abo....

Stop it Mr. Bret! Yes definitely yes she is already dead, she died last three months ago during her deli......she had an ovary cancer she diagnosed it but all of these the cancer cells already eat her up to death I'm sorry. I need lie in him I don't wan't for now to know her daughter I can let my niece to the hands of a partly stranger for me although he is her father after all.

Can you let me leave alone for a moment Daniela if you allow me? He is Pleading me while he is not taking his gazed to Jullie's graved.

Sure, I'm at the entrance just let you know.
