28 Pappa..

When Samuel told Jasmine about Vivi she again started crying and ran out of the room kn search for her daughter. Samuel also came out after checking the two children. He went to Samuel's room to ask him what to do next. He was very stressed, in an unknown place, where will his daughter go what she is suffering. What if ahe was kidnapped. So many strange thoughts were going through his mind.

But James' side was totally a big surprise for him. When he went inside his room he waa about wake his wife but he notice that his sun was holding some thing in his hands. Then he moved to the other side to check his son's bed, he didn't want to sleep on the same bed with his parents. Inir when he reached at the age 3 he started to sleep seperately, very strange for a kid but he was very adamant on having his own bed, though he sleeps sometimes in the same room as his parents he will have a seperate bed and sleeps alone.

Even now when they came for the trip James really wanted keep his son on the same bed as his, but Inir requested a seperate bed for him and slept. He used feel jealous of Samuel whenever he saw how close nad lovely Vivi was to her father. How much he wished to have daughter. But he can't. But he was very happy because Vivi considers him as her own family and treats him with as much love as her father. Oh How great his daughter in law is. He really wishes that she would grow up faster and come to his house.

When James came to his son's bed he saw that Vivi was also sleeping in the same bed Inir's and was still sobbing even though ahe was asleep. It was as though she slept after she was tired was crying. What's more interesting was Inir was holding her in his arms and patting her back, unconsciously. Oh this little lovers are really making adults feel ashamed with their tacit understanding.

She came out and saw that Samuel was standing outside anxious and Jasmine was crying.

"why don't you come inside? let's sit and talk about it"he offered smiling at them.

"Do I look like have time for your chit chat?" Samuel was boiling already. Even his eyes were wet it seems he might cry at any moment.

" Brother please let's go and search for my daughter"

"Don't ever call her your daughter. You didn't even notice she was missing and sleeping soundly. What a heartless mother" Samuel was not at all in a mood to hear her affectionate words. He felt she was very fake whenever she showed concer about Vivi. Jasmine cried more hearing him.

"Okay don't fight again. Come inside I really want to talk to you both" James invited them and went to check his bags.

They both came inside and was looking at him blankly. They were waiting for but he came with his camera and went near his son's bed and signalled them to come. When they reached and saw what he was doing, that is when they noticed their daughter was sleeping in Inir's bed and was still sobbing. Samuel was both surprised and delighted. Jasmine didn't know how express her feelings. But they both came to their senses when they heard camera clicking sound. James smiled at them and asked them come out.

"Let her sleep now let's talk about everything in the morning" James said and was about leave but Samuel held him back.

"No let me take my daughter back to our room. I can't sleep without her"

"Then practice to sleep without her hereafter. My daughter in law already chose my son over you. So you better prepare to give her away tomorrow and prepare for the wedding" James just joked to ease them about whatever has happened.

" No please I have my reasons not to leave her alone now, let me take her now" Samuel insisted. He remembered his daughter's face and her reactions so he was afraid that his daughter would treat his just like how she she is with Jasmine, he can't take it. His daughter is his life. More than anything he has hold her in his arms and make sure she doesn't go away.

"Okay let's go inside"

Inir was still slowly patting her back and Vivi already stopped sobbing, seems she is deep asleep. So he tried take her little arms away from Inir's and lift her up. But when did so Vivi already opened her eyes and was about cry, especially when she saw her mother she hiding behind Inir's small body. Samuel turned around and stared and Jasmine, that single look was enough for Jasmine which says 'do want to scare my daughter away?'. Jasmine was stunned and ran away from there.

During this small dispute, Inir also woke up, when saw that Vivi was holding behind him looking afraid like a puppy, he immediately secured her in small arms and held her tightly. Both the father's were surprised with their acts. Samuel was looking at James with a lost expression on his face. James was controlling his laughter, at this little couple's antics.

"Am i a villain here?" Samuel asked in a sad voice. His angry is gone and was feeling better watching his son in law.

"I told you to leave my daughter in law. But you were not ready for it. See my sone is already protecting his little bride from his villain" James also replied with a smiling face.

Inir noticed it was his father and uncle who came to take Vivi from his bed, but he didn't understand why Vivi was hiding behind him and what she is afraid of.

"Vivi see it's uncle Sam, here to take you to bed. Don't be afraid. Come I will help you get down" He has no idea when she came to his bed, but was very happy that she was holding him. He thought she might have seen something and afraid to come to him. Recently she will get afraid sometimes and come to him and he was glad to hold her and console her.

Then Vivi popped her head from his back and saw that her father was looking at her, she jumped to him immediately and was hugging his neck"Pappa" she called slowly.

All of them were happy that she started talking. Samuel was already dancing inside his mind, his daughter called pappa first. That was her first words. They were afraid she might become mute, cause she was not talking even though she was more than year old, even Nina was already blabbering some incoherent words, but Vivi only make some sounds but never talks. She was talking really that too called Pappa first.

"Vivi baby, what did you say?" Samuel wanted to her his daughter calls him Pappa again.

"Pappa" she repeated, smiling slightly at him.

Jasmine who was standing at door was so happy to here her daughter's words, she also wants here her calling mom. But she goes and hides whenever she sees her. She left that place after that, went to the room, waiting for her husband and daughter.

Samuel also took his daughter and went out. But he went straight to a different room, he didn't want to stress his daughter anymore. He didn't want to repeat what happened today. His daughter is more important than anything else. Jasmine also thought it might be because of her that they didn't come back. She felt so useless. Why is this happening to her. Why can't she have both of her daughters and lead a happy family.

But the situation at the other room was very different. Vivi and Samuel were very happy, he made her repeat to call him again a few times. Vivi was also happy and was smiling and slept on her father's chest that dayand was so smiling while sleeping.
