EPILOGUE

AFTER FIVE YEARS

KEVIN

"Derby,you ll burn your hand,come here"Kevin calls out loud.

"You are daddy's good girl,you ll not touch that again,would you?"

"No daddie"The little girl beautifully in her broken tongue responds.

Kevin lies alone on bed,In an empty hoise with his daughter Derby,in attempt to make her sleep,he switches off the light and emptiness eats him all over like it does for three years now.

Kevin and Derby never married.Derby got pregnant of Kevin's child and they decided to keep the baby and marry later,but destiny had its oen plan,It never worked out their way.

Thier love for each other felt small when a calamity struck thier life and subside with one of them leaving forever.

Derby was hospitalised on critical pregnancy and she couldnt make it,She died giving birth to a sweet girl child.

Life felt hard on Kevin and he could never settle in life.
It has been 3 years after that,he weeps daily when the night falls,and hides his face in his pillow.

He has become weak,the only one who gave him new life is now not alive.

He named his daughter after Derby and now she is 3 years old.

Ahe has learnt to speak and spends most of her time playing with daddy and keeping him occupied,giving kevin a reason to live and to survive.

He love his daughter selflessly and now he works from home,never trusts her with anybody,so he babysits her himself and now she is the only reason he lives.

He earns enough for their survival and has given up on all of his ways after the lesson of life,and fall of karma.

This bearded,grave looking,Intensely serious man now regularly visits church with daughter and volunteers spreading message of jesus around.

Just devoted to his baby life and god.

How could you walk over me so easily? She cried and howled. Drunk he replied, I never learnt how not to.
