The Cursed love

Chapter 8

My life was changing with the speed which was faster than my heart beats.

I had a past which I was not supposed to know, which was kept from me for seventeen years but now finding it was the only option left to me because either I can find them or shut my eyes from something that would shatter the the wall between the past, the truth and me, making everything miserable.

I was too occupied to realize that I have beem sitting in the car in my house parking for so long that now even moon was fading slowly living me in the darkest time of the day.

I checked the time, 3:45 am. I got out of the car, Mom's car was still not home.

I went inside and laid on the sofa. I was too tired and very sleepy but I didn't wanted to waste my time sleeping so I went to take shower, well that was also because my hairs were messed with sand and my clothes though dried now felt too rough on my skin.

When I was done taking shower I went into the kitchen to look something to eat so that I stay diverted from all the thoughts also hungry stomach makes you more angry. I can't afford that with my mom.

I ate apple custard with milkmaid and Hershey's syrup. Chocolate keeps me sane just like library. It's like best remedy for anger and sadness for me.

It was almost noon and mom was not home yet. Now I was getting worried.
I thought of calling her as I was done washing dishes before I dial her number the phone rang.

"Honey! It's me."
Mom called and I breathed in relief.

"Mom! Where are you? It's -"
I began but she cut me off.

"I am so sorry honey I can't think straight! I left for Washington urgently. Please don't panick. I have bad news for us!"
She said.
I could easily hear how worried she was in her voice. I didn't wanted to show her my panick. But the moment she said Washington the first thought that came to me was DAD!

"Mom I won't panick. Tell me what's wrong?"
I asked.
Keeping my voice as stable as I could.

"Emrale... Emra- Deah- your dad! He- he had another attack! He is in ICU! I am really worried. I don't know what to do. I am in hospital they didn't let me meet him. He- he is unconscious!"
She was crying like a maniac.

I didn't know how to sooth her. Even I was crying quitely. It was his second attack. First one just six months before.

"I- mo- mom- I am coming there."
I said breathing heavily.

"No- no Emrale. His staff members called Mr. Perks and me. He will be leaving now from there give him necessary documents. You stay there please. Your dad won't like you to see him like that. You know how he is."
She explained.

That's right my father liked to look weak in front of his die hard fan for whom he is super hero forever.

"Bu- but mom-"
I tried to make her understand.

"No dear please. You stay there I will make you talk to him as soon as he gets well."
She said a very weak argument from her but I decided to not push it once she said that he will be fine soon.

"Al- alright."
I said.

We hung just after she repeatedly to take care of myself. Just as I hunged up uncle Charlie and Leyla rang the bell.

"Emrale!"
Leyla said.

"You alright dear?"
Uncle Charlie asked at the same time.

"I am fine uncle. Lemme know what all documents you will need."

"Come sit here first. Leyla get water for her."
He said making me sit on the sofa.

"I- I am fine uncle. Take care of yourself and Dad."
I said trying hard to muffle my hiccups and newly started cries.
