Indelible Love

"Once upon a time, there lived a King"

"Wait! Whom should I imagine as the King?"

"Who else? Obviously, me" Jin replied chuckling.

Aria giggled and said, "Continue! Continue!"

"The King had a beautiful daughter named Bella"

"That's me" Aria exclaimed excitedly.

Jin smiled at her and continued the story. Aria was listening to it so keenly and lastly, Jin ended the story saying,

"...and that's how Bella got the wand and saved the King and the Kingdom"

"That's it?"

"Yes! That's it" Jin smiled.

"No Appa in this story as well?"

Jin's expression saddened but he quickly composed himself and said,

"Aria, it is time to go for bed, yeah?"

"You always do this, Dad" She pouted and turned away from him.

Jin turned and switched off the lights and lightly whispered to himself, "I am Sorry"
