Dadda

At the same time in the airplane to country X from Ireland,

Desmond was unable to sleep. He is curious. He is going to meet his daughter for the first time.

'Sometimes she may hate me because I never cared her..... daughter I did not know what you are feeling now. Give me a chance to correct myself. I know it is not my fault. I was not even aware that a part of me is struggling somewhere. She might have struggled too much. Without parents near her. I know Jane was never happy after she left me. The small messages that she sends me serves as the energy for me to live. Now I have a hope. I have a daughter, son in law and daughter in law.

I am really worried on my daughter's reaction towards me.

Oh no..... I forgot to ask her name....

He messaged Jane

<What is her name, Jane>

<Lea, she is married to Sheila's son Fred. >

<Jane, how are you>

<I am in a mess Desmond. I have a lot of crap to clear up. Hope you are fine.>

<I am worried Jane, how she will react to me.>

<Don't worry Desmond. I met her today. She called me mamma. You know, she was hugging me like a small baby. It is the first time she was able to be in the embrace of her mother. She was not willing to leave but she had to. ">

<Really, how is she like? Like me or you. I am really eager to see her. >

<A perfect blend of you and me. I won't describe. You will see her tomorrow.>

<Jane, I want to give her the whole love I stored in my heart for her. You remember my suggestion was to name her Annie. But she already has a name now. >

<You can call her Annie. She is an understanding girl. Don't worry.>

<Jane, we are going to buy a new home there so that my daughter can come to her home. Will they allow my daughter to stay with me for some time?.>

<Mostly they will. If Sheila is not willing to do a DNA test for me and Lea, everything will be still behind the curtains. Who all are coming with you Desmond?>

<My mother, sister Juliet and her daughter Sophie.>

<Mrs Kelly is also coming? She is eager to see her grand daughter right. Really I miss you all. I wish I could be there. >

<No, you don't come. Be good to Edward and stay there. I am there for Lea. Leave her to me and you can come to my house to see her at any time if Edward allows. >

<Are you jealous, Desmond Kelly. Why you want me to keep distance away from my daughter?>

<No, I know the pain of separation and loosing a partner. I don't want even a small life in this world go through that. If you come to join us, it willl affect your married life. I am afraid. After all, I am your ex-husband. >

<My married life is already in a chaos. I will be divorced in no time Desmond. You know me well. I came to you and help you come back but still I never went beyond my limit. I was aware I am married and I remained loyal to him. But that does not mean that I have to suffer all that he is doing. He is an adulterer. He has a mistress and a son and he is having sexual relationship with his daughter. I have a lot many reasons to get divorce. He only wanted my money and power and JE Corporation. >

<Oh, this much serious. Once I bring her to my home you join us. Mamma is eager to see you too. They all loved you a lot. >

<I think Sheila and Joseph arranged their another villa for you to stay. Please call Joseph now. He will tell the location. >

<Ok I will.>

Lea was cutting vegetables. She sat in the dining room for doing this. Standing for a long time in the kitchen makes her feel dizzy due to pregnancy. Also she want to cook food for her father with her own hands.

Joesph's phone rang.

Dad has left the phone in the living room when he went out.

Lea took the phone.

"Desmond" The name showed on the screen.

She picked it up. going to hear the sound of her father for the first time.

"Dadda"... instead of saying hello, she addressed him as dadda.

No sound from other side. She was confused. "Dadda, you there? ."

"Annie, how are you, my daughter?"

"I am fine. dad went out. So I picked the call when I saw your name. When will you be reaching here dadda?"

"Early morning 6 o clock we will reach there. By eight o clock we will reach your home.". he replied.

"Who all are with you?". She was eagee to see her dad's family.

"Your grandma, your aunt Juliet and Your cousine sophie.".

"Okay. Dad has made all arrangements for you to stay in one of his mansion dadda. But you all straight away come here. I will get breakfast ready for you all. " she invited them.

"Annie, my little girl, I miss you a lot. I am so eager to see you. " He was finding difficult to hold his tears.

"Dadda my name is Lea."

"Annie is the name your mum and me decided to call yoi when you were born. She was just three months pregnant when she was called back home. When I came to know about your existence, the first thing I did is register your name in our family register. You are Annie Kelly. Daughter of Desmond Kelly and His ex wife Jane.". he said.

"Ok dadda, we will wait for you.".

Jane hung up the phone and saw Fred watching him.

She hugged him and placed her head on his chest. He felt her tears on his chest. He know how she is feeling now. What else ... like a kid ... who wants to cuddle with her parent. He remembered how his parents cared him.. What would have she done when she fell fever or when she had to face any mishaps... Without his parents he could never imagine a childhood. He know well what she is missing and what she got back. May be her father is also missing the same feeling his parents had to him..
