KAIRA: 💔NO MORE DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL💔

||Chapter 4||

IN THE MORNING,

Kaira's POV

It was morning. My head was aching as I slept late the last night. I could not digest that I told dad that I hate him.  The same dad, whom I used to follow like a tail, the same dad who was my hero. He still is but I am not sure about it.

My eyes were continuously looking for dad. But he was nowhere to be found. I had hurt him enough. I hope he is alright.

I saw mom cooking in the kitchen. I walked towards the kitchen slab and climbed to sit on it.

Mom turned to look at me. She smiled.

How can she smile when dad cheated on her?? I know that smile was only to assure me that everything is alright....

But....it's not.

I know mom is broken inside.

" See Kaira....what I have made for you? Your favourite....pancakes", Mom said flipping the pancakes.

I sighed and looked down.

Mom found it strange.

"Hey....princess....what's wrong baby?", Mom asked me cupping my face.

I bet no one in this whole world is as strong as my mom....

How skilfully she hides her pain and tears!

But I can feel them....cause I am her daughter....

I hugged her tightly and cried with hiccups.

Mom's hold on me became tighter and she caressed my hair.

Mom released the hug and looked into my eyes.

"What's wrong baby? Why are you crying?", Mom asked wiping away my tears.

"I told dad that I hate him", I replied bursting into tears.

Mom looked at me shocked.

I continued crying.

Mom sighed and cupped my face.

I could see tears filling her eyes. But as usual, she was trying to hide them.

"Though mine and daddy's relation has failed, I don't want your relation with daddy to fail. He has been the best father to you. Please don't punish him. He will break down otherwise. Daddy loves you the most and so do you. No one can replace you in his heart. I lost my husband but please baby, don't lose daddy. Please baby for me", Mom pleaded, tears rolling down her face.

I hugged her.

"I also love daddy. More than anyone else. I can't hate him. I'll apologise to him", I said and released the hug. Mom kissed my forehead.

We heard the door open and dad entered. He looked at mom and then at me. Mom excused herself and left.

I looked at daddy. His hair was messy. Eyes were sore and dark circles had developed beneath his eyes.

He looked at me and smiled. I didn't do anything, just stood there like a statue.

He sighed and began to climb the stairs that I rushed to him and hugged his legs.

Of course, he was so tall like six feet and I was so short.

"I am sorry daddy. I not at all meant what I said last night. I am sorry. I love you ", I cried into his jeans.

I literally made his jeans wet...

Dad bent to my level and wiped away my tears.

"I love you too my baby. But, I dont have any complaints. I know you are very angry at me. I understand. I hurt your mom. I am very bad. But princess, sometimes we need to take some decisions in life with which others will not be fine. But we have to take them. I know, if I stay with your mom, neither she'll be happy nor I. I cannot give her the happiness she deserves. So this step is obvious and right. I just want you to be happy. I am sorry baby. Please don't ever say that. It hurts a lot", dad said with moist eyes.
