DAUGHTER

Chapter : 18

April 6, 2019...

Elsa went to Aakrit's lab to inform Sam that they are leaving tomorrow along with Mrs.Presley.

What? Tomorrow? And you didn't even tell me anything about it. I thought you'll stay here until Hope is at least a few months old.*Sam said disgruntled*

I know Sam and I've my own reasons. I'm not in a state to explain everything but do remember one thing always that I trust you and I know you'll take care of everything here *Elsa said and smiled*

Sure, Elsa..but....ah!, I'll drop you to the Airport tomorrow tell me the ti*Sam didn't finish what he was saying as Elsa interrupted and said: "Sam, I hope you have not forgotten about the meeting you've with a few foreign delegates tomorrow".

I can manage*Sam said*

Don't bother, the airport is not too far, make sure to send someone to bring my car back from the Airport.

I'm just bringing a few very important stuff, I'll bring other things gradually*Elsa said*

You're sure about it Elsa? *Sam asked her in a low voice*

I know what I'm doing Sam, those gunmen, everyone can forget about them but not me. It's a nightmare for me Sam and now I can't put my daughter into any kinda trouble, I'll keep her away from all these things, I'll keep her safe. *Elsa said*

Leaving everything behind, you've spent a lot of years here, with your students, with Aakrit *Sam said being a little emotional*

I know Sam, it's like getting caught between a rock and a hard place*Elsa said in a low voice*

Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow, I'll take this route to the airport so you can see Hope for the.. for the last time *Elsa said*.

Nonetheless, I'll be at your place tonight for dinner *Sam said and smiled*

You're very welcome *She said*

See you tonight then and we'll discuss other things as well if needed *Elsa said before walking towards the lift*

Alright, see ya *Sam said as the lift door closes*

Elsa went back to her house and packed a few remaining stuff with the help of Mrs.Presley.The same day, Mrs.Presley paid the remaining rent to her Landlord and took all the stuff with her.

They just packed the most important things as fortunately the Landlord of the house that Elsa chose in Norway nearby the University was one of the most humble people one could've ever known in their life.
He was ready to provide daily essentially needs to Elsa when he heard her story and realised about Hope.
As he himself is a family man with a baby girl. He was ready to help Elsa until she gets everything under control in Norway, in other words, to settle down as easily as possible.

Day passed by...
(9:30 PM)

Elsa, Mrs.Presley and Sam were having dinner whilst discussion about how they will bring the rest of the essential stuff to Norway while Hope was sleeping peacefully. There were only two options either she will come back here to take rest of the things or Sam might visit them once in every 3 months bringing everything she needs under his supervision. They decided to do things as it comes and think positive about the future.

There's gonna be a downpour tomorrow. Elsa, I reckon you should take the shortcut from the bridge towards the Airport instead of taking the normal route because I think you'll find traffic there. *Sam said*

I don't think it'll rain tomorrow *Elsa said*

Elsa, look at those street lights it has started raining already*Mrs. Presley said*

Ah! Alright then *Elsa said as they finished dinner*

See you tomorrow then, take care*Sam said and walked towards hope*

Little angel, listen to your mom okay? Stay away from Science*Sam said jokingly while caressing her*

Mrs.Presley giggled and looked at Elsa before anyone could say anything Hope started crying.

I told you, you cannot escape your own destiny, don't say anything against Science in front of her *Mrs. Presley said and kissed Hope's little hands while smiling and caressing her*

See you tomorrow Sam, drive safe *Elsa said trying to ignore Mrs.Presley's words*

April 7, 2019...
(10 Am)

Mrs.Presley, are we ready now? *Elsa shouted while putting her bags in the backseat of the Car.

Yess Yess! *Mrs. Presley said while walking towards the car with Hope in her arms*

They both went inside the car, all the stuff and bags were inside the trunk of the car and on the backseat.

Mrs.Presley was holding little Hope in her arms gently, Hope was looking outside as it has already started drizzling.

Seems like she is enjoying this weather *Mrs. Presley said*

Her father used to enjoy the rain *Elsa said in a low voice*

Mrs.Presley looked at her and smiled.
"Elsa, everything's gonna be fine"*she said*

Yeah *Elsa said and wiped the only teardrop rolling down her cheeks whilst looking at hers and Aakrit's own house for the last time*

(After driving for a while...)

Did we take your wedding album? *Mrs. Presley asked*

How can I forget that Mrs.Presley, just wait for 2 mins I'll go and give these house keys to Sam *Elsa said as they reached Aakrit's lab*

Elsa waved at Sam the moment she saw Sam inside the meeting room.

Excuse me guys*Sam said and came outside*

Take the keys, I'm already a bit late Sam. Always remember that I trust you and you're my brother always.
We'll meet soon *Elsa said while giving him the house keys*

Elsa, take care and keep me updated *He said and hugged her*

Aakrit's office staff gave Elsa a photo frame of a group photo of Aakrit and his team of the day when they finished their "Self-Destruction Drone Project "

Thank you so much for this, it's really sad that only two of his old teammates are here today after Aakrit's sudden disappearance but I'm glad that a new team joined and I know you guys are gonna do wonders* Elsa said heartily*

She hugged everyone and Sam walked her to the car to see Hope.

He kissed hope on forehead as she was asleep and closed the door of the car.

Don't forget to call me Elsa and keep me updated.*Sam said*

Take the shortcut from the bridge*Sam said and waved goodbye to her*

I will...  take care Sam*she said and left*

After driving for a while she reached the intersection and turned the car towards the bridge but hope started crying, Mrs.Presley tried to play with her to distract her but hope didn't stop crying.

Elsa couldn't see her crying anymore so she stopped the car approx. 100m away from the bridge. She caresses Hope and kissed her.

What does my baby need? What do you need lil princess, are you hungry? Who's a lil angel *Elsa said while gently poking Hope's nose as in no time Hope stopped crying and started giving her precious smiles*

Elsa gently puts Hope back to Mrs.Presley's arms and started the engine again.

The car just moved a little and Hope started crying again.

Elsa and Mrs.Presley looked at each other.
