Lonely father // S.M. ( Completed)

26

It has been a tough semester. Dad died 3 months ago and I still think that when I go to mom's house ,I will have him watch out Ela as I will relax a little bit. But still, they haven't found the person who killed him

Ela is 5 months now. Crawling , trying to pronounce words that are not even words and sleeping more. That's good. I get more rest .

"You need help?" Kelly asks , as I try to put Ela on her special seat

"No,I'm fine. She just doesn't want to let go off me" I say , when I manage to put her into the special seat in the car

"You know , the boss is really getting angry with you" Kelly confesses

"Why that?"

"Because you always bring Ela with you and you spend time with her and not the customers. I think that he is just jealous" Kelly says , taking out her car keys, from her jacket

"I think that I can't do anything until I find a proper job. And I must someone to take care of Ela." I say , getting into the car

"See you on Monday" Kelly says , walking to Kayla and a few moments later pulling out of the driving spot

I look at Ela and I see her as a chews her toy. She is growing up so fast. And it makes me feel proud and weird the same time when I remind myself that when she cries something bad happens. Not always but most of the time

"What to to Taco Bells or grandma's?" I ask and she just looks at me , with he toy hanging from her mouth " grandma's it is" I say , pulling of the parking spot and driving to my mom's real estate agency. 

My mom didn't let the business go back after dad's death. That business was something they made together and dad would never want us to quit that business.

After a few minutes of driving and Ela looking at the cars going backwards from the window , we finally arrived outside the agency. I take Ela out of the car, along with her bag and then walk into the building

I have missed the familiar smell of cinnamon and lemon every time I walk into here.

"Hey Shawn. Hey Ela" a few people great us as I walk upstairs,to where my mom's office is .

I knock on her door and then get in

"Oh Shawn" she says , happily and coming to where I am , taking Ela into her arms and hugging me

"How are things?" I ask her , taking off my leather jacket and sitting on her seat as she plays with Ela's hands

"Good. I still get sorry letters from Manny. It just hurts" she says and I see Ela's eyes forming tears

"He is in a good place. With his mom, his dad , his siblings. He is watching us from above. He always was my protection angel" I say , reminding myself good moments I had with him.

"Aaliyah will be waiting at home. Don't you want to go together there and stay the night together?" My mom suggests and Ela lays her head on her chest.

"That would be great. I haven't slept at home for ages" I say. I don't feel my apartment as my home. I feel my parents house as my home

"Have you thought of the singing career at all?" My mom says. She knows that I want to start singing again but I deleted everything. Dad was my motivation and now I don't know

"I don't know mom. I truly I don't know if it will be good or not"

"What would your dad want for you?" Mom asks , and that is something to think about until late at night
