Dreamy Dreams

Chapter - 23

 
   Lily sat there in her room, quiet and alone.. her eyes were dull as she didn't found anything interesting in her dark room.. her father left a while ago.. leaving her to convince herself as he make it clear his intensions..
 
  She look around, her eyes landed on her study table, the frame her father was looking at a while ago..

  Liam group institution has always been her dream place to study.. she worked hard day and night to get where she is today..

  How come just one strom and everything is going to end?!..

  There was something in her which didn't like it.. which didn't wanted to step back but her father wasn't someone she go against in her life.. his words was law something she obliged herself to listen and compel herself to follow his steps..

   How come? How come their path differ suddenly?

  Lily felt scared, she has always been confident and strong person but it was always when she had her father behind her and today for the first time she felt lost..

  Her hands were stuck together, holding onto one another as her eyes turned teary.. the conversation she had with her father a while ago kept ranging in her ears.. she felt like she was still trapped in that moment..

  When her father hold her hand gently, his eyes staring at her confused yet sad face..

   " Lily.  It's better for us.. "

   The determination in his eyes when he look at her.. a laugh left her lips as she couldn't understand whether that gaze was courageous or blind..

  Lily:" Dad.. " she bit her lips, blinking her eyes to avoid tears..

  " But if we withdraw now, I will be proven guilty of something I never did.. "

  Was this reason wasn't enough?.. was this reason too simple that his father turned blind eye to it..

  " But we know that it's not true.. that would be enough.. "

  Why? Why did he reply to her concern like this? How did he turn so blind to her concerns?..

  Her hands clenched on her lap as she hung her head low, her glassy eyes may be shiney but lack the usual brightness they used to posses..

  Lily:" I thought you will stand beside me.. " a warm drop of tear fell from her eye, landing on her hand, placed on her lap..

  Lily" I thought you will be my strength.. " she sniff gently moving her palm to wipe off her face as she get up from the bed and walked towards her study table..

  With her still irregular breaths and shaking hands she pulled out her dairy and tore a blank page.. her palm again wiping her wet cheeks..

  She pulled out her pen, her delicate heart shivering in within her ribs.. her messy hairs covering her face as she place nip of the pen on the paper writing each and everything that she couldn't say to her father..

   Everything her heart said as she look at her fading figure..

.

  It was late at night, with many people sleeping but the only figure was restless.. his whole body was trembling with anger and frustration as he tried to call someone..

  Mr.Luther:" Pick up the call.. pick up the call.. " he growled as he tried to contact the man he used to be dogged around.. soon the beep turned into a line of contact as his heart beat in hope..
