When Alvaro D'Cruz was asked about his children, he said he had five.
When Ezekiel D'Cruz was asked about his siblings, he said he had five.
Alvaro D'Cruz had never looked at his youngest and felt what he should have felt: love. To him, this little girl was blood and flesh, but not his and theirs. He had enemies, rivals, a business empire, and a reputation of not being the most warm person in the room. To him, the only person who had ever mattered was his one true love, his wife who had left him after his sixth kid was born.
Did he love his other kids? Check.
Did he never hate his wife? Double check.
Did he blame the kid? Triple check.
His youngest has always hoped that he'll look at her, one day, without any coldness or ignorance and see her. Finally. But Alvaro D'Cruz was legendary in his indifference and the doors to his heart were already slammed shut. The only question remains:
Did he ever love her?
