Twenty-one

(Reda 1st POV)

"Dad, I'm sorry. I decided to stay in with my employer just like how the contract which I signed says."

I wasn't sure where I get the courage to tell my dad exactly what I have decided and let him know that I am making the decision on my own. Perhaps it's because of this man in front of me. Axel. He was just standing near me with his arms folded across his chest, leaning his side on the wall beside the door of my bedroom and listening to the conversation I have on the phone.

"Reda!?, Come back home now! I want you back here, without questions. It has been a long time since my Dad shouted and used this tone for me.

I flinched when I heard him slam the phone in the cradle, which I'm sure that it made the apparatus broke. As usual, few words and he expected me to understand and follow, like an obedient daughter that I am. I sighed heavily.

"Something wrong?"
