WHITE LIES

Chapter 1

"Mom! I'm scared!"

"No Honey! mom is with you, I'll protect you...Always!"

"But mom...."

"Shhhh! Quite honey, they might hear us, just close your eyes and think of the day when we went to a funfair with Dad!"

[Weeping] "I love you, mom!"

[In mind] *Sleep, my dear daughter...Your mommy is right beside you...I love you and I'll protect you forever!*

Mom!....

Mom!!!!... I can't feel anything!

[Sobbing] Mom are u there.....!!!??

MOM...........!!!!!

"Miss! Are you okay? Was it the same dream again?" asked the maid standing right beside my bed.

"Yes! I'm okay!" I said while trying to hide my tears.

"Miss! Your Dad asked you to join him for breakfast" said the maid.

"When did he return?" I questioned.

"This morning, ma'am!" she answered.

"Ask him to wait. You may go now!" I ordered.

"Okay! Ma'am." she agreed and left the room.

This is making me crazy! what a fool they might think I am crying like a baby over some mere dream!! Ugh!! She would've never left if she truly loved us. I think I should stop drinking coffee at night! Who knows that might help *shrugs*

Shoot! It's getting late! Dad's gonna be mad at me again!! gotta dress up fast!

"What a surprise, Dad! I thought you'll not be back before a month!" I taunted.

"I'm back early because I missed you! Aren't you happy to see me?" Dad questioned with his eyebrows raised.

"As long as you brought something valuable as a gift for me!" I answered him back with my eyebrows raised.

"Hahaha! You sure have learned some tricks and yes I bought you a dress, it's in your wardrobe" Dad said.

"Of course I'm your daughter, but wait! Why dress? you could've bought me the latest PS version, Dad! You know I spend my whole day in PJs, that dress won't do any good to me!" I bawled.

"Sweetie! calm down! I'll get you what you want, act as a sincere kid. I won't accept this rude behaviour of yours in front of me." Dad spoke with a gruff.

"Sorry!" I apologized.

"Aren't you getting late for the class? Do you want the teacher to scold you on your first day? Eat up fast the driver is waiting for you outside." Dad enunciated.

"I almost forgot!"

I gobbled up my food and left the table in a hurry.

"Wait up, Clare!"

"What's it, Dad?"

" I heard from your maid that you saw the same dream again! Are you really okay?" Dad asked me in a worried way.

"I'm Fine! I should get going. Bye, Dad!"

I ran out of the house as fast as I could, not because I was trying to ignore him or the question but because I wanted to escape from this weird feeling I get whenever I think about MOM. To be honest, I'm fed up!
