Fearless: story of her life

Part 2

Alisha POV

You know the feeling of that pleasure and satisfaction, when you feel like you want everyone to know that you are related to something very extraordinary, yeah thats right, thats what i am feeling right now, proud, looking at that 2 year old figure sitting in front of me using her fingers so elegantly to play those keys of piano that I got specially for her about two weeks ago. Its like she is not even trying but the tune that is coming from her playing with those keys sounds so soothing, so calm and relaxing.

Since the day she came to our house, not a single day has passed when she didn't surprise me. The speed with which she learns things it's completely out of one's reach.

I remember the evening after Bella's birthday when i was preparing to make the dessert, and Bella entered the kitchen to drink water. I looked at her once and continued with the work in hand, but she kept looking at me while i was assembling all the ingredients on the counter i looked back at her and asked " do you need something Bella?" She didn't say anything. She never did. Emma being Emma once even asked me whether she is mute. She is not its just that she doesn't want to speak yet thats what the medical reports that court gave us said.

She just walked towards me and looked at the kitchen counter where i placed all the ingredients. I looked back at her "do you want to help Bella?" I asked at which she looked at me and nodded yes.

I picked her up in my arm and sat her on the kitchen counter. Where she could see what i was doing, we both made cupcake. Well i made 'em while i kept explaining all the details to her, which she listened carefully. During the time i was baking she kept poiting at random ingredients in the kitchen and i kept explaining her about them, which was interesting but tiring. By the time cupcakes were made i am pretty sure i told her about almost all the ingredients present in the kitchen.

From that day every week Bella and i would make different dishes or dessert while Lisa, our cook would take it as her leave. By the way Bella was learning to cook i know she doesn't need my help anymore, but it was like our own private mother daughter time.

After her birthday Bella started to live in Emma's room at which Jason was very angry at first, as he wanted to live with Bella too and thought it was unfair that Emma got to live with her. Even when we told him it was temporary till her new room was made he didn't budge. But later when i told him that he can study and play with her in his room during the day time, he was ecstatic.

Jason made it his job to teach everything he learned at school to Bella. Every timehe taught something to her he would flaunt about it in front of Emma. Em being herself would cry and ask when she could go to school as she wanted to teach Bella as well. Kids!! So instead of that she would play video games with her.

Time just flew by so fast I didn't even realise Bella just turned 2 year old last month, this time she didn't let us celebrate it in a grand way. So we celebrated it among ourselves. I was so devastated that I didn't get to prepare a grand celebration for our angel, so i just went with a grand dinner.

Just in a year Bella has improved a lot she even beat Andre in the game of chess which is his special forte. Well, its his fault that he taught her that game knowing all too well of the consequences.

I was so deep in nostalgia that I didn't notice Bella stopped playing her piano and was standing in front of me looking at me with furrowed eyes. Bending a little i moved my thumbs over her furrowed eyebrows trying to relax them "Bella, you played it so well. Do you want to play more i can bring you more notes if you want" i asked.
