You Belong To Me

Chapter 4

Many questions were going through my mind. I was feeling like my brain has become a Ferrari and it was driving me crazy. I closed my eyes and started to steady my breathing.

Every damn memory of us was in front of my eyes. It was like my brain is time traveling. My dad is my best friend. After mom's death he did every possible thing to make me happy. He never got married, nor he was in any relationship with another woman. He invested all his time on me and our business. At a young age he started to teach me so many things. Every six months we used to go out on vacation in different countries, and he taught me their language.

Flashback of the Maldives when Nathaniel was 15 years old.

"Dad," I shouted and started running towards him. He was standing near the shore.

"Pal, come here stands beside me," dad said. "Nathu, one day I won't be here with you and you have to look after yourself, you are growing up my boy. I have trained you to be the best, you can look after our business when you'll be 18. When your mom died I felt my world falling apart but when I saw your face, I got the strength to fight that sadness, that pain that agony. You are my strength my boy. I love you buddy." he added and hugged me.

I saw the tears on his cheeks. I hugged him tightly.
"I love you too, Dad," I said.

Flashback ends!

Did he know about this illness? Was he ill for a long time? How could I not know this? Why did he hide it from me?  My head was hurting me a lot. When I opened my eyes I saw Megan coming towards me.

"Nat, are you alright," she said in the sweetest voice possible. I swear If I was chocolate I would have melted right there.

"Yeah!" I said with a poker face.

"You can talk to me about anything Nat, I am right here," she said with a worried expression and a cute smile.

" You should be at your house attending your engagement ceremony Megan, why are you here? And where is Henry?" I said with a sad voice. As soon as those words came out of my mouth Henry came from behind and stood beside her and holds her hand. Do I need an eye check-up? Is there a problem with my eye? Why didn't I saw him?

"Sofi called us, that's why we are here," Henry said.

"That bitch!" I whispered to myself.

" What?" He questioned me.

" Nothing, Thank you. But you can go home, no need to trouble yourself" I said looking at Henry.

"No worries, we can stay."

"I said I am fine, I want to be alone for some time. It's better if you go home you both should be with your families and enjoy your day," I said frustrated.

Sofia came to the parking lot breathing heavily.

" Babe, Doctors are asking for you and the lawyer is here to meet you,"  Sofi said whilst calming a little. It looks like she came here running. Well she could have just called me.

"Sofi, you should have called me you came all the way running down here,"

" Check your phone you idiot, I called you but you weren't picking it up," Sofi said annoyed. I took my phone out of my pocket and yeah she called me. Am I deaf also? First I didn't saw Henry coming. Now I didn't hear the ringing going off. Damn Nathaniel what's happening to you!

"You can go home, I'll handle by myself," I said to them "Bye," I added.
In just a matter of minutes I was at the doctor's office.

"Nathaniel, have a seat," Dr. Sergio said in his deep voice.

"Thank you," I said whilst time sitting.

"There's no point sugar-coating anything, Your father's condition is serious and he has been diagnosed by this for 4 years now," Dr. Sergio said sighing the pain in his voice was visible.

" Why didn't anyone told me about this, Didn't I had the right to know this," I said in pain and anger. " Uncle Andrew why didn't you told me," I added. Andrew Murillo was our family lawyer. He was one of the best lawyers one can have. He has been working for us for 15 years.

"Your father told us to keep this a secret. He didn't want you to worry about all this and just wanted you to focus on your studies," Andrew said.

" Well now I know, and you all think I am not worried now, For God's sake how can I not fucking worry he is my dad, does this change a thing now!" I said throwing the chair backward.

" Calm down Nathaniel, we are trying our best to treat him, but," Dr. Sergio said calmly.

" Tell me the whole truth right now" I said angrily.

"We are really sorry to say this but he has only six months to live," Dr. Sergio said with a tear in his eye.

" You gotta be fucking kidding me! No no no this can't be happening! Tell me it's all a lie. Do something,"

" It's the truth," Andrew said coming towards me. He passed me the water and told me to drink it.

" Your father told me to give you this," Andrew said handing me a letter.
