Melissah's POV:

I went out of the office indulged in my thoughts.I felt a different feeling after talking to Mr.wang.like a heavy weight is lifted off my heart.like I can breathe again.like I can live again.like I can smile again.

I know its been a long time since my parents murder case started but nothing came out of it or may be they (the one dealing with the case) didn't wanted to bring out the truth.

But after Mr.wang , everything changed.he gave his best to solve this case,to collect evidence against that cannibal.Mr.wang didn't left a stone untouched.not only he worked with passion and sincerity,he also motivated me to keep going untill I finally push those criminals behind the bars.he was not only my moral support but emotional support asl well.

Even in such a small period of time and with professionalism between us I felt like I grew closer to him.I never consider relationships like this but Mr.wang felt like a family member to me.

I felt so emotional and thankful thinking about all these things.I turned around and ran inside the office and knocked on his room once again.after his "come in" voice I rushed inside the office and kneel down in front of him hanging ky head below.I can say that he wasn't expecting me to return and with such gestures.

"Melissah ..wh .. what happened.are you okay?"

Thoughts were flooding my mind and I didn't knew that tears I have caged behind my blank eyes escaped from my lashes.Mr.wang stood up from his seat putting the papers aside on the table and stood in front of me.

"Melissah .. dear why are you crying .. what happened to you ?" Mr.wang asked with his none so professional and soft voice.

I couldn't collect myself togather yet I tried to speak "th .. *sobs* thank .. *sobs* thank you Mr.wang *sobs*".

"Why are you thanking me?" Mr.wang knelt down and placed his hand on my head in order to comfort me.

I kept on crying and couldn't answer his question.I know I said once that I would never cry again but this man sitting in front of me right now deserves my sincerest thanks ever.

"Melissah.. please dont cry you are making me worried .. please" Mr.wang tried his best to comfort me and after a while I stopped crying.

Mr.wang grabbed my shoulders lightly and made me sit on the chair nearby.

"Now tell me what happened to you?"

"Nothing .. I just wanted to thank you" I bowed infront of him.

"Okay but for what?"

"For everything"

"Melissah you dont need to thank me.honestly I did nothing for you"

"No .. I wanted to .. you .. you are like a blessing in my life Mr.wang.i want to thank you for your sincere effects,for motivating me to fight more,for supporting me emotionally,for making me feel that I am not alone who is fighting this battle.you helped.me when I lost my trust in humanity.".

Mr.wang placed his hand on my head " you know what melissah .. I have been a detective for 25 years now but I have never seen such a strong and brave child ever in my life.you shouldn't thank me because I did nothing.rather I should be the one appreciating you right now because your strength your patience your motivation gave me strength to give my best"

I continued to stare at my feet.

"U know melissah I felt really sad when I was reading your case file.its not like I am pitying you,I just felt like I should help this soul,I should be there to support her,and I prayed to God to give me enough power to make her wounds heal.I know its not easy to suffer such accidents and you survived without a psychiatrist.I am so proud of you.you are just like my daughter so feel free to say anything and don't ever feel like you are alone.you are my daughter from now on okay?"

All his words went straight into my heart but his last words "My daughter" ran a shiver through my spine.my nerves calmed down my hiccups stopped, and a lone tear that was caged inside my lashes slipped from my eyes.I looked at him and he was smiling genuinely at me.

I felt relieved.I felt bonded.I felt like I am not alone.my ears yearned to hear these words.I still remember how my dad used to say that I am his beloved daughter but after that incident I never heard of the word "daughter" again.its like I forgot how it feels to have a dad on whom you can relay.but Mr.wang's words brought out all those feelings.

My tears slipped from my eyes again and mr.wang told me to stop crying or else being a father he has the authority to scold me at which I laughed.
