Camelia
"Camelia Ivana Stones!!" , the enraged voice of my mother woke me up from my slumber . I had hardly slept last night as I had to preview the deal papers before the final meeting . I know that being the CEO of STONES AND CO. meant that I have a team of lawyers to get the job done for me but what to say I love doing my own work. I very well know why my mom is being this dramatic at barely 6o'clock in the morning. I put my robe on and squandered down the stairs.
"Good Morning to you too mom . May I have the pleasure to know why you have decided to blow my ears off early in the morning."
"Don't MOM me young lady", my mother said. "You know very well why I have to wake you up this early"
"Please mom don't be so dramatic, it's just a nanny . I am not planning to rob you off your grandma duties. And please be kind enough to keep your voice down....Luna is still asleep."
Her eyes softened at the mention of my five year old daughter. I had Luna when I was just nineteen . Though she was initially angry upon me for taking such a reckless decision of giving my virginity to a complete stranger that to a stripper , she melted at the sight of the blob in the computer screen during my first ultrasound. Since then there was no turning back. She and dad took it upon themselves to look after me and my sweet little angel at every stage of our lives. Dad even retired early from his position to spend time with his granddaughter Thus I became the CEO one year prior than decided. The news of me hiring nanny must have been a shocker for them and hence the outburst. Though they never say anything and I know they love Luna, I have observed that looking after Luna full time was taking a toll on their health. I have asked them many times to hire a nanny to help them look after Luna but they were adamant , so I took it upon myself and posted a job offer for a nanny irrespective of the applicant's gender. I believe a nanny is a nanny irrespective of gender and I don't believe in the "Manny" and "Nanny" shit , I mean, what's in the name ,they do the same job.
I love my daughter dearly and would do anything to give her all the love and comfort she deserves . She has got a huge spur of energy which I suppose she got from her father since the stories of my childhood as recited by my mother pictured me as a quiet child - I only became daring in my teenage which led me to have my angel. I try to spend as much time as I can with her, but my busy schedule often tends to keep me away from her - but I am blessed to have such an intelligent child that she understands her mother's problem and never complains about it . I just need a few more months to cope up with my routine and i hope i would be able to give more time to her. Till then a nanny would help my parents.
Just as mom opened her mouth to say something more , Luna came down the stairs rubbing her eyes , clearly having been woken up by her granny's voice. She jumped from the last to stairs, almost giving us a heart attack , directly into my arms as I crouched just in time to catch her. Give gave me a sound kiss in the cheek and presented me a toothy smile. "Good Morning Mommy' she greeted me. " Good Morning , Belle ", I said and kissed her cheek in return . I loved to call her Belle due to my obsession with Beauty and The Beast from my childhood . " When are you planning to stop giving me heart attacks early in the morning itself?" I asked her with a friendly glare and she replied with a cheeky " Never" . She was getting daring for her own good but I love her nonetheless .
" The conversation is not over yet ..." , mom started and I cut her off in the beginning itself ." It's over and you have to accept it . Otherwise I will move out with Belle . I have seen you rubbing your neck and shoulder every time you play with Belle and not to ignore the fact that you and dad are dodging every social invitations for the past one year . Belle is my daughter, and I would absolutely hate it if she becomes the reason for your deteriorating health and social isolation . The decision is final and you have to accept it, either you like it or not." She sighed and said "OK . But remember that I would not hesitate to fire that nanny if I see any inconvenience. And that's final." I nodded in agreement. What a start of the day.
I went upstairs , took a bath and wore the suit which I wore during important meetings and today was important since today was the day I will interview the nanny shortlisted by my p.a. . I came downstairs , had my breakfast , kissed Belle goodbye and went to the office . As swoon as I have settled myself in my cabin Lucy , my p.a. informed me through the intercom that the nanny was there for the interview . I went through the file and saw it was a man by the name Ace Knight and was a bit surprised to see that he was suggested by Jack , one of my very close friends . I asked for him to be sent in .
"May I come in ma'am ?" a voice very known yet unknown asked from outside the door and a shiver ran down my spine ...is it who I am thinking he is or just my imagination...."Come in " I permitted and composed my demeanor . He entered and I came in face to face with the man who had been hijacking my dreams for the last 5 years...it's him - The Father of my child .......
