10 Uncertainties

He looked like a kid who's candy has been taken away.

"Mind you, I'll be able to land easily, plus I can easily jump to the other roof."

Hmph! " Why do I never get the upper hand.

"Silly, go and sleep "

"Why should I listen you?" He stood and turned away from me.

If you don't go now, you'll not have enough time to think about your beautiful mate."

"Hmm, I'm going but not because you said so, I'm actually pretty tired." He turned and modeled to the door.

I chuckled and shouted after him," Whatever makes you sleep honey!"

"You're so mean!"

"Did you just realize?"

" I won't mind you"

"Whatever" The shouting contest finally ended.

With Aiden gone, I couldn't help but go go to my afore thoughts.

I couldn't help it, I just have too many questions. How can think happy thoughts and sleep soundly at night when there's danger and uncertainties looking over my head.

I love my father a lot but I can't help but think about these questions. Dad treats me very and I also have Aiden now.

I wish I knew where I came from. What kind of being I am. Why my parents left me. Are they still alive? Do I have siblings somewhere out there? Does anyone miss me?

"Wǒ qīn'ài de (My dear )" I turned to see my father approaching. He sat beside me and draped his right hand over my shoulder.

"Bàba nǐ yīnggāi xiūxí ( You should be resting Daddy)" I couldn't help but to scold him. Still I leaned my head onto his and relaxed in his arms.

Daddy looked at me with a smile smile and pinched my cheek, "Nà nǐ yě yīnggāi (so should you).

"Mmmm"

Dad raised my chin so I'd look him in the eye.

"Wǒ de gōngzhǔ zěnmeliǎo? ( What ails my Princess?)" He looked at ne with gentle eyes and kissed my forehead.

"Kya! " I leaned my head off his shoulder and huffed, shoved my nose upward and crossed my hands on my bosom. "Bàba, wǒ shì nǚwáng, bùshì gōngzhǔ ( Daddyy, I'm a Queen not a Princess."

"Qīn'ài de, zhǐyào nǐ de chuán fú qǐlái (Whatever floats your boat my Dear)" He even added a wink.

Ah! This old man.

His chocolate brown eyes suddenly turned darker and he looked at me note seriously.

"Ever,Nǐ bùnéng yǒngyuǎn bǎochí xiàqù (You can't keep it in forever Ever)"

I turned to the night sky and sighed. My shoulders felt so heavy.

" Wǒ zhīdào bàba ( I know Daddy)"

He gave my shoulder a slight squeeze and ruffled my hair. Although it gurt my pride to say this, I miss this. I miss being a child abd being pampered.

I looked at my kind father with clouded eyes holding tears that could fall at any moment, "Wǒ shì nàgè huài bàba ma? ( Am I that bad Daddy?)"

Dad pulled me into his arms and showered my head with kisses. The tears fell, u couldn't hokdbgem back anymore. I cried my fill, ditying my dads shirt with my salty tears and snot.

I finally calmed down and raised my head to look at my Dad. He was the only one with whom I could let my guard down, hundred percent.

Dad held the sides of my head with his rough hands. He looked with at me with so much love and sadness. I saw the pain the in his eyes, for not being able to solve my problems.

"Qīn'ài de, nǐ hái bùcuò, fēicháng xiāngfǎn. Nín fēicháng tèbié, rènhé fùmǔ dōu xīwàng nín chéngwéi tāmen de nǚ'ér. (You're not bad my dear, very much the contrary. You're very special, any aorent would love to have you as their daughter."

My heart was flushed with both joy from my father's words and sadness from my own thoughts.

" Dàn bùshì tāmen(but not them)" Ny head dropped onto but my boss and my bangs coerd my face. But my father dudnt akkow me ti hold that posture, With his hands still on the sides of my head, he raised it up for me to meet guys eyes.

"Rènzhēn tīng wǒ shuō ( Listen to me carefully,) he looked me straight in the eye, " Nǐ hěn tèbié, bùyào huáiyí zhège shìshí. Rúguǒ nín de fùmǔ bù ài nín, tāmen bù huì líkāi Aki hé Deba zhàogù nín. Tāmen bù huì jiāng nín de míngzì gùdìng zài nín de yīfú shàng, yǐ gōng nín de zhàogù zhě sòng gěi nín, tāmen gēnběn bù huì gěi nín qǐ míngzì. ( You're special, never doubt that fact. Your parents wouldn't have left Aki and Deba to take care of you if they didn't love you. They wouldn't have pinned your name to your dress for your caregiver to give to you, they wouldn't have named you at all.

"Everlette shì měilì ér dútè de, tā xiǎnrán jùyǒu qiánzài de hányì. Dāng wǒ zhǎodào nín shí, nín bìng bùshì pòlàn, ér shì shìhé gōngzhǔ de piàoliang liányīqún.Wǒ zhīdào nín hěn kùnhuò, dànshì zhuānxīn yú tā bù huì gěi nín dài lái suǒ xū de dá'àn. Chángshì huòdé jǐn kěnéng duō de xìngfú huì chénggōng, wǒmen bù zhīdào wèilái huì zěnyàng. (Everlette is a beautiful and unique, it clearly has an underlying meaning. You weren't rags when I found you, rather a beautiful dress fit for a princess. I know you're confused, but dwelling on it won't bring you the answers you require.Try to be happy as much as you can since we don't know what the future holds.

" Jiānqiáng, yào xìngfú. Jíshǐ nǐ shénme dōu méiyǒu, nǐ zǒng huì yǒngyǒu wǒ. Gōngzhǔ, bùyào zài liúxià yǎnlèi. Nǐ huì ràng nǐ de niánjì biàn dé fēicháng bēishāng hé bù kuàilè. (Be strong, be happy. Even if you don't have anything, you'll always have me. Princess, do not shed anymore tears. You'll make your old very sad and unhappy.

My heart warmed and my worries vanished as u embraced my father. True, I only need him. He'll never leave me.

"Wǒ ài nǐ lǎorén( I love you old man)" I whispered into his shoulder. He chuckled slowly as he rubbed soothing circles on my back. "Gōngzhǔ yě ài nǐ ( Love you too Princess.)"
