Doll {Completed}

Chapter 3

(TAEHYUNG)

"Are you sure about this Mr. Kim? The doll looks like she's worth diamonds. It's so pretty, I'm afraid we can't accept this" Sister Julian said.

I'm currently here at an orphanage, searching for a new owner for Lisa. I have nothing to do with the doll so the only rightful thing that I have to do is to give this to a child that can take good care of it, like how my daughter did. I couldn't dare to sell it, the value of the doll would be gone.

"Please keept it Sister. It can help me get over my daughter's death if I won't ever see this doll again. I hope you'll understand" I said and she accepted the doll.

"Fine, but I'll just keep it out of reach in case you'll change your mind. You know Mr. Kim, even though this doll reminds you of the pain, it will also remind you of the smile that your daughter has whenever she looks at this doll. Just think about it" she said and I just simply smiled.

"Thank you sister but, I don't ever want to see that doll again" I finally said and waved goodbye.

I got in the car and I didn't know why but I looked back at the doll. Her eyes looked sad as she watched me. Her lips that I swore I painted a smile turned into a frown.

"Wake up Taehyung! You're just imagining things!" I said and drive off out of the orphanage.

While driving, I looked at the mirror, and I saw a memory of Taelie, playing with Lisa. I could still see her smile as she holds the doll in her hands. I saw the happiness in Taelie's eyes as she looked at Lisa as if they're one.

"Daddy, whatever happens. I'll always be your little girl okay?"

I smiled at the memory and felt a hot liquid trickling down from my eye.

"Whatever happens, you'll also look after Lisa"

I unknowingly stepped on the brakes. Good thing there were no cars following me. Why did I remember that promise? I didn't know what came in to me but I took a u-turn and headed back to the orphanage. When I arrived, I immediately searched for Sister Julian and luckily, I found her, and she's holding Lisa.

"Sister Julian!" I shouted and she looked at me.

"Mr. Kim! Is there something you forgot?" She asked and I pointed at the doll.

"The doll, can I have it back?" I asked and she smiled.

"I knew that you'd need it back. Here" she handed me the doll back.

I looked at the doll and it was smiling again. I didn't know what came over me, I hugged the doll tight.

"I'm sorry" I muttered.

"She looked sad when you left. Good thing you came back" Sister Julian said.

"Thank you sister" I said and headed to my car once again.

"Why can't I leave you alone?" I talked to the doll again.

I placed Lisa on Taelie's bed. Now that I looked at her up close, she really is indeed beautiful. Well, no to brag, it was me who made her after all.

"Taelie really loves you huh? That she even sacrifices herself just to save you. I'm not blaming you for her death, even though I want to. But you're just a doll, I can make a hundreds of you. Why are so special to Taelie?" I asked but I was never expecting an answer.
