After she returned to her room she changed clothes and freshed up. she got some fever medicines in the first aid box and had some of them. She was still shivering in cold so she lied on her bed and covered herself with a heavy blanket,but nothing worked and she continued to shiver. she doesn't know how much time she lied there, but she started losing her sense.
suddenly her phone rang but she couldn't gather much energy to receive the call. It stopped once and started to ring once more she somehow managed to take the call. It was her father in the opposite side.
-" Hey beta! your friends informed that you are sick, so I am going to pick you up from your place." Said her father.
-"Whatever dad atleast you need not worry about me. I Will be fine as always. Don't try to show that you care for me. Just don't poke your nose in my matters " She replied with a shivering but cold voice and cut the call.
Her father is no doubt a gentle and caring man but being busy he never gave her much time and love. She never knew what a mother is like, but only knew her father and to her a father is an alien from some other planet. When she was small she always expected her father to praise her whenever she get first in the class but she always found costly gifts instead. whatever she needed she always get them before she says but not a simple word of love or praise from her father. Initially she thought that it's just because everyone hates her as her mother died while giving birth to her, and everybody thinks her responsible for that. Even her grandparents refused to see her when she born, the first thing is that they wanted a baby boy who can hold responsibility of their huge business Empire when grown up but got a girl, and secondly they thought her to be inauspicious because she 'killed' her mother. She used to cry every day and every night but gradually she consoled herself, and her life took an interesting turn when she met Varun. but her luck never gave her any favour, he loves someone else. She then tried to build a different world for herself.Away from everything and everyone she loves. she is now in dilemma about the strange man, his profile looks a little familiar to someone she knew. but whom? and what about his strange behaviours? maybe she should investigate the matter..... but in this point she got angry on her friends, she know that they care a lot about her but what was the need to tell her father about her illness? she doesn't know how much time she lied there thinking this weird things but gradually she felt like sweating, and understood that the fever is getting down. She left the bed and walked towards the huge glass window of the living room from this place she could clearly see the apartment where the strange man live. she saw the strange man standing by the window of his side, still, without any motion, looking straight towards her. She also stood there motionless staring at the man. She doesn't know how much time passed but none of them moved. They were standing still and staring at each other. Suddenly the calling bell rang,she covered the window with curtain and walked towards the door.
She opened the door and found her father standing there.
-"How are you feeling now?" he asked in a worried voice.
-"I am fine dad. come in."she said casually.
her father entered the room and took a seat in the sofa.
-"You need not worry. And what was the need to come?You must have some works to do."
Amyra said.
-"Can't I come to see my daughter? Yes I have a lots of work to do. And lots of tension in my mind. like Who will take care of my company after me?You are not even interested in it. Against my will you are doing your MBBS. You wanted to live away from me and did so. But I never forced you against your will.And what I got in return? Just look at you.. how you behave with me." Her father sounded really sad.
-"I am sorry dad but I don't want to be a money machine just like you. There are many more things which I want. A simple life with a little peace and comfort. May be I won't have much money but atleast a peaceful mind in the end of the day.I don't need a perfect life with everything I want, because perfect is very boring."Amyra said sitting beside her father holding his hand.
-"And for whom do you think I am doing all this?" her father asked looking into her face.
-"But this are not things that I ever wanted from you dad. Do you remember when we had a good time together last time? I don't remember because we don't have any. Have you ever asked me what I want or what I feel like?" Amyra was a little infuriated with her words.
-"I know I couldn't give you enough time whenever you needed. May be you are right that I became a money machine only, but now it has became my nature. I can only tell you one thing that the women I loved after your mother is you. I am sorry beta... will you forgive me once.." due to emotion his words were not clear.
A few drops of tears came out of her eyes. she wiped them and said.
-"I'll forgive you in two conditions. first, you must visit me every day after work. and second, give me a smile..." saying this she tickled her father's big tummy. He gave a smile with his eyes still filled with tears.
This is the first emotional momment she shared with her father. she hugged her father. This was the momment she always wanted in her life.
she wiped tears from her father's eyes while her eyes were also filled with tears.
-"Dad I love you a lot...will you have something dad.. shall I make hot coffee for both of us"She said and her father nodded in agreement.
After a while she presented two steaming cup of coffee and they again started to chat.For the first time her father was this much free to talk to her. They talked about her studies, and his business as well. Suddenly her phone rang she tried to avoid but it was nonstop.
-"Take the call may be it's urgent." Her father said. Amyra unwillingly looked at the screen. It was Amit.
she took the call.
-"Hello.. I am a little busy now. I will call you back."she said without giving Amit any chance to speak, she was about to cut the call when Amit's loud and excited voice came from the other side.
-"I won't take much time but I have a very exciting news."
-"What happened? Someone proposed you? Haha.." she said jokingly.
-"Let me speak Ammu!!! You'll get mad hearing this."said Amit.
-"But I don't want to get mad either!!" she cut his words.
-"Shut up Ammu!!! Varun is coming home.. He wrote to his granny!!!!" Amit was really excited saying this words. Amyra doesn't know if she should cry or laugh... Amit was right she was getting mad....
