Mute love

Bonus part 1

My heart shrank at the sight of her crying figure. I caressed her back to comfort her.
" Mumma, I need dadda!! ” I felt her cheeks burning when I touched them to wipe her tears.
She suddenly felt sick this noon after returning from school. She has a high fever, cough and she is not ready to eat anything.
She is sitting on the bed, I touch her shoulder to lay her down but being stubborn she refuses.
" I want dadda, right now!! ”

I wish I could call her dadda. But unfortunately, he left this morning for a business trip. There is no chance I can inform him about her. It would distract him and I know how excited he was about this deal.
He can't show up a second before five days.

I extended my arms to embrace her but she crawled back " Don't come to me!! "
I narrowed my eyes in confusion.
" I don't want to talk to you!! " She said, harshly wiping her face with her small palms.
No sweetheart don't say anything like that. It hurts.
" You just watched me cry when that bad uncle gave me the injection. You should have stopped him " She cried hard.
But baby that injection was important for you. He was a doctor, so injecting you doesn't make him a bad uncle.

" I am mad at you mumma, go from here, I only want dad, right now "

I parted my lips in response. But she started to pull up the blanket. It was too heavy for her to pull. And when she couldn't, she stood up on the bed and tried to pull it with both of her hands.
I feel guilty saying this but she looked cute while doing that. I mean she is using all her strength still failed.
I extended my arms to help her but she showed me her palm.
" No, I can do it myself!! "
She said angrily and finally succeeded in pulling it.
She laid down and covered herself completely. I was about to touch her again but my eyes widened at what she said.
" Mumma, I want space!!! " And with that statement, she covered her face with it.
I was stunned.
Space???
Darling, you are only four.
Do you even know what space means??

I sighed in disbelief and forced myself to slip off the bed. I need to feed her so that I can convince her to take medicine.
I walked out of the room and headed to the kitchen.

When Anshika returned with a tray, her eyes caught Adhya' small face sneaking out of the blanket.
She was sobbing hard.
Her heart clenched at the sight and she immediately kept the tray aside.
She removed the blanket from her body and made her seat.
She couldn't understand how to comfort that little girl without saying a word.
She cupped her face and made her look at her. She wiped her tears softly and nodded her head as no.
" I want dadda!!! "
Anshika wasn't surprised by her stubbornness. Obviously nothing can beat the comfort level a father gives.
Adhya looked at the food and then Anshika.
" I won't eat anything if you don't bring me dadda!! ”

And she had no choice left. There is no chance he can be available here but she can at least give her a little comfort.
She opened her phone and called Aditya. It rang for a good two minutes but he didn't answer.
She called him again but he didn't answer.
He answered when she called him for the third time " Hello!!! "
Anshika handed it to the little one and she started crying.
" Dadda!!! "

Within two hours after that call I was home, with my princess in arms. Her body temperature is damn high.
" Why are you still crying, baby? Look, I am here!! ” I caressed her softly as she was sobbing.
" Dadda!!!! " Her continuous hiccups are giving me anxiety . I made her look at me and wiped her tears with my hands.
" I was missing you so much "
" Yes princess, see your dadda is here."
" I know you will go back again. ”
" I won't!! " Obviously I won't. How can I go anywhere when my girl is not fine.
" But you really disappointed your dadda " She stared at me with her red eyes. She looks so innocent.
" What did I do? ”
" You are crying, you didn't eat anything, you are refusing to take medicines. That's such a bad girl behaviour "
She looked down and said " I am sorry!! "
