Fluke of Fate

35 : Living a Lie..

Nestle and Ginny had come back home from France, the moment he opened the door he wanted to find Zella there to welcome them back home but its been nine days since they have landed and he had not seen her or heard her voice, he wondered if she even noticed that they were gone. He smirked in disgust how easy was it for her to give up on whatever they had, he walked to kitchen and took a glass and drank water. He made himself coffee and poured a glass of milk for Ginny, she sat on the stool and gulped down the milk and cereal and went to her room.

It hurt Nestle that Ginny had to go through everything was different, Ginny was awfully quiet and Nestle didn't like it one bit, but he knew what was wrong but the sad part was that even he couldn't do anything about it. He wasn't going to run behind her if she didn't want to be chased. Nestle knew all this pain would subside on its own. He was fine before Zella came into his life, he could do just fine even if she wasn't in it. He closed his eyes, he didn't know who was he trying to fool.

It felt like it had been ages that Ginny had seen Zella but why hadn't she called Ginny and talk to her? Zella too missed her. It was weekend and Ginny had been putting off the sleepover for weeks and her friends were being restless.

"Daddy, are you busy?" Ginny asked.

"No honey tell me?" Nestle said with a smile.

"Can I go for the sleepover this weekend?" when Ginny asked that Nestle frowned. She had once asked about sleeping over at her friend's place but she never brought up the subject again, he wondered if Zella not being around had something to do with it.

"Honey, so much has happened this last few weeks I forgot you wanted to go for that sleepover for weeks now." Nestle said nonchalantly, but Ginny didn't say anything. She stood there looking at him with a small smile.

"So this weekend huh?" Nestle asked excitedly.

"Yes." Ginny said with a nod and tying her hands behind her back.

"I will be there first thing in the morning okay?" Nestle said.

"Fine by me." Ginny said hugging Nestle.

In the car Ginny came to sit in the front with him, Nestle frowned but Ginny pleaded and he gave in. He still insisted that she would buckle up. They spend a while in comfortable silence and then Ginny looked at Nestle and said.

"Dad I miss Zee and I know I shouldn't interfere but can you both find just sort everything out and make her to stay with us again."

"Was this why you wanted to stay over at your friends place? You think I'm going to rush to the diner and sort things out with her?" Nestle asked with a chuckle but she just shook her head.

"Daddy, I know you will only do what your heart says but Zee is not like that. She doesn't work that way, I know because I am not that way." Ginny said.

"We both didn't have a normal childhood Ginny bee, we are almost the same but different in so many ways. But all that is not the issue that she's not come to see you, i did something really bad to her family that she's unable to forgive me for it and you have nothing to do with it Ginny bee. Just the other day she called me and said she missed you a lot and cant wait to see you." Nestle said looking at the road.

"You shouldn't lie when you don't know how to daddy." Ginny muttered bitterly.

"How can anyone not miss you Honey bee, you are the sweetest and most adorable kid I have even seen." Nestle said honestly.

"Then what is stopping her from seeing me?" Ginny wondered aloud.

"May be me." Nestle said softly but Ginny frowned.
