Subtle Rejection

Selly dear. Why do you want?" Ershad asked.

"I'm sad, Daddy. I'm sad why Mommy doesn't want to admit that I am her child. What's the matter, Dad? Or is Mommy ashamed to have a child like me?"

"Selly. How come you talk like that anyway? There's no way Mommy is ashamed to have a child like you. You are beautiful, smart, kind too. Daddy Ershad is proud to have you."

"Then why do Mommy talk to me like that, Daddy?"

"Because Mommy is at work. When she is at work, Mommy is not allowed to talk about children in front of her boss. Even though Mommy really loves you. So you can't think like that, okay?"

"Yes Dad..."

After being explained well by Ershad, Selly finally understood a little more and was also calmer. She wasn't that sad. Until finally they both arrived home. But Selly, who was still sad, went straight into her room with a very gloomy expression on her face. Ershad's Mother also wondered about Selly's unusual attitude.
