It wasn't as easy as she had expected it to be turned out. Kiara had grown up and she found things on her own, which was itself very much surprising. Moreover, she knew that her mother has some of her own reasons and that is why she isn't introducing him as her father.
Has her child grown too fast? Or was this heredity that Kiara is smart enough? Anna highly doubted the event but she had no other hope in her hands. All that matters is for her daughter is to be happy.
"So, how did you proceed with everything? That Alex is actually your father?" Anna tried to ask her inner feelings, which was of utmost importance.
At last, Kiara smiled at her mother which was quite a genuine one. "It was difficult at first for me to accept but since I started spending time with him, I felt a kind of attachment and the bond that a daughter and father feel."
"You knew that I wanted a father for a long time but I was too afraid that someone new might enter our lives and he will snatch you away from me. But knowing that the person you brought into our house is actually my real daddy, I was quite happy to know."
Anna rubbed her hair lightly. She knew that if Kiara is saying that she was happy, then the truth might be this. Otherwise, she is someone who will say what is there in her heart openly, more like an outspoken child.
"Is there anything.. you would like to add Kiara? I know that you might be having dozens of questions as well… anything else to ask?" Anna once again asked carefully mentoring the change in her expressions.
She waits for Kiara to ask her anything or show some kind of expressions of anger but nothing. All she saw in her eyes was the enjoyment of having her father back into her life.
Hugging her mother's neck, Kiara replied, "nothing mommy... I'm just excited to have our family. You know, now I can also say that I have a daddy and I won't feel jealousy and insecurity anymore from other children. Now, you both can come to the teacher's meet and on Father's day, I will have someone to wish as well. I can celebrate my birthday with you both and.. how would it be having bedtime story with you on my one side and… Daddy on my another? Oh Mom, how much I used to imagine this scene!"
Anna felt happiness as well as a little sadness. The happiest moment in Kiara's life would be knowing that her father was not dead. She can have her own father, her own biological father where there is no chance of insures.
"So.. would you like to meet Alex as your father now?" Anna question and in response received a vigorous nod. It might take some time for them to normalize but she hopes it will happen soon as well.
Coming near her ears, Anna whispered, "He is too nervous to come in front of you."
"Why mommy?" Kiara asked in surprise.
"Because he thinks that his princess will be upset after knowing the truth that he lied and acted as Alex's uncle… though you both got quite close.." turning around, she noticed no sign of Alex in the living room.
'Where did he go?' A frown settled down her brows when she didn't see him in front of her eyes. He had earlier said that he will wait for them to finish their talks and will wait and listen from a certain distance.
But now she can't even see him anymore. "Mommy, where did daddy go now?" Both mother and daughter were confused. Anna stood on her legs and held Kiara in her arms. "Let us go to the big balcony. He might be out there to get some fresh air." Because he was overloaded with nervousness and anxiety. Anna kept the second half of the sentence in her mind and they both made their way to the large balcony of their penthouse
When they both arrived, their eyes hazel landed on the man's standing at the railings. His back was facing the duo and at that time, Anna understood everything.
Her eyes dimmed seeing his body language because it was pretty much evident that he is not in the right state of mind.
She whispered something into Kiara's ears and let her down on the ground. Kiara showed her thumb up to her mother and walked near Alex with a smile on her face.
Kiara tugged his pants from down to gain his attention. "Why are you here alone?"
Alex who was standing in a daze for so long stumbled back when he heard the cute innocent voice. No, he wasn't in any kind of state of mind to face her after lying... "Kiara… you know.."
"Pick me up in your arms first!" Kiara said and hearing her commands Alex obeyed it without any thought but deep down his heart was beating so erratically. He had no idea why there is this big smile on her face after she got to know what he did.
"Kiara.. are you alright?" He asked out of concern but a giggle passed through her lips when she saw his pale face. "Daddy, why were you so afraid? I am your blood and obviously, I can't stay angry at you for so long, right?"
THUD!
THUD!
Alex's mind stopped working for a few seconds when the word, 'daddy' left Kiara's mouth. Did he hear it correctly, was it some kind of dream he was living in? Is it true that Kiara just.. called him father?
"K...Kiara, can you repeat that word again?" He asked, carefully and unsure if he even heard it correctly. But Kiara understood too, "Yes, now that you are my father, I have to call you dad, right? And I forgive you because… I feel you might have some reasons but now that you're alright, you came back to me and mommy and that is enough for us.."
Her explanation beamed the light of happiness inside his heart. Never ever in his wildest dream, he had expected things to turn out in such a way. He hugged her tightly, and tears of joy came out of his eyes, "You have made me happy dad, Kiara.."
"I hope you will not leave us anymore." Kiara Only wishes for this from his side and he teased back, "Never ever now…"
Meanwhile, Anna who was staring at the reunion of both father and daughter duo with their real identities felt her heart full of joy. She can't express what she felt in her words because this moment was tops special for her.
"Hey, you both! don't forget me in between your happiness!" After a few minutes, Anna also chimed in and came near them but Kiara refused to let go of her father's solid embrace, which made Anna pout.
"So you are now daddy's girl?" Anna scarcely asked to which Kiara responded, "I'm daddy's girl and mommy's princess!"
