Never do I leave again

Part:9

Alice noted our little commotion and answered my query. "He said his daughter can't talk" she said with a knowing look. Her words slowly sank into me. Oh that's it. Nothing important.

Wait!!! What??? I turned abruptly knocking a glass on the process. She'd stopped crying . I moved close to her examining. Is he kidding? She's a healthy kid. I know. How could he say something like that? I won't believe him. Not again.

I just pat her shoulder. She faced me with a tiny smile. My heart melted. How can such a simple gesture can affect me this much. I returned her smile. I want to know whether he's lying? I asked her something which I wanted to hear from the beginning.

"What's your name ,angel?" . She laughed turning to her dad. He sighed. " She's Zaria. Call her ria, she'll respond" he said with a chuckle. I hate it how my body reacts to his actions.

This name why should he give her such a name? Does he wanted to remember me? Then why did he done such a thing? Is he playing again?

I touched her again. Knowing that her attention is on me. I started talking to her. "Ria". She chuckled. Like father like daughter. I wanna hear her talk, but what is her problem. Is it from her birth or anything else?

"Why come she can't talk" I asked not directed to anyone. "Don't know"Was his response. Anger bubbled inside me. How can he be such an irresponsible prat. This is his daughter.

"Where's her mother? She might answer my question". There was an uncomfortable silence. She would be definitely around here. As far as I remember she was a parasite. She would always attach herself with him whenever situation offers.

I faced him quirking my eyebrow. He looked down at the table, shifting in his seat. Is he nervous?I thought it would be wise to not press on this further.

Twists ???
