DAUGHTER

Chapter : 2

Elsa was watching tv while having her lunch. Suddenly, she heard the doorbell...

Coming*she said as she slowly walked towards the entrance while comforting her tummy with her hands*

Hello dear, how are you and the baby?*Mrs. Presley asked her while hugging Elsa*.

Mrs Presley,  a lady with a warm and welcoming face, I know her for only a few weeks when she moved here as my neighbour but I feel like I know her for a very long time.  Her short grey hair looks the same as the colour of her eyes. She reminds me of my mother. I mean, can you imagine even I have grey eyes and it's uncommon eye colour. I'm blessed I have a neighbour or should I say a caring family member like her.

Hey, Mrs Presley, thank you so much for coming and yes we both are good though I reckon the baby's gonna be really mischievous*Elsa said while giggling*.

I am sorry I disturbed you*Mrs. Presley said as she saw the food on the table and realized that Elsa was having her lunch*

You never disturb me, come, join me
*She said while welcoming her inside*.

Aakrit is a caring husband I must say but I care for you as well, here I've brought some books for you which I read when I was pregnant*Mrs. Presley said while sitting down on the couch*.

Thank you so much, Mrs Presley. Since I'm not allowed to go anywhere now, I was in desperate need of books, I'm blessed to have a neighbour like you, I feel like I know you tho it's only been a few weeks since you moved here?
You never tell me though, why did you move here? *Elsa asked her*

Ah! I've already told you about my husband and family, sometimes they chose a path from where there's no way back and after my only hope, my granddaughter was taken away from me as well, I felt lonely for a while but I decided to live life again from where it has all started. I want to live every single bit of my life. Everyone has a purpose Elsa, some realise and some don't.

I'm so sorry Mrs Presley for your loss but I'm glad that you chose to live and enjoy your life again. I won't ask you the reasons because sometimes we need to forget the sorrows and look forward to what the future holds for us.*Elsa said*

Now take these books and read some really good stories for your baby*Mrs Presley said and handed over the book to Elsa*

Thank y... Oh! How did you get this scar on your wrist? Mrs Presley, you sure you're fine? *Elsa asked worryingly*

Ahh!! It's an old scar, I got at the airport a long time ago, I bumped into someone and he was wearing a badge or something, it had a sharp edge though. *she giggled*
Don't worry, I might've faced bad times but I never even think of self-harm*She said and smiled*

Will power makes you a superhuman*Mrs Presley said and smile*

That's true*Elsa smiled and put the books on the table*

Elsa, you told me Aakrit rarely comes home at night. Don't even think twice before calling me. I have my phone with always okay? I can stay here with you as long as you want me to. Just don't try to do a lot of things for now. You're 8 months pregnant. *Mrs Presley told her*

I will Mrs Presley, I thought I'd invite you for lunch but then I saw you with some guests today. I've always seen you alone so I thought you should spend time with your guest*Elsa told her*
