Chapter 57: Chapter 57

Scarlett was busy doing her homework when all of a sudden her study room's door get unlocked. Her eyes went towards the entrance to check and her eyes popped out seeing the person who was standing at the door with so many gifts in his hands for her.

"Daddyyyyy." Scarlett screamed in happiness and started running in his direction.

"My Princess.", Damian kneeled down to hug her princess tightly in his embrace.

Scarlett hugged him so tightly as her whole life depends on that single hug.

"I missed you so much Daddy. I.. I always keep missing you.", Scarlett complained, breaking the hug and looking towards her father who was smiling without any reason.

"I miss you too my baby.", Damian said, tears dwelled up in his eyes and he kissed Scarlett's forehead and cheeks being emotional.

"No.. You don't... You are lying. Huhh... You are a lair, I know.", Scarlett complained, faking anger and turned her back towards him.

Damian smiled seeing her fake anger and her acting skills.

"I can't believe she is the pure carbon copy of her mother. Her every action made me remind her. The way she was faking anger and acting of being angry at me made me remembered the day when her mother did exactly the same thing when I got late for her surprise birthday party. ", Damian spoke to himself in his heart, remembering the old memories.

" That's why people say that daughters are the carbon copy of their mothers. ", He realised and a lone tear escaped from his eyes.

Scarlett turned around a little to see her father's reaction and got shocked on seeing him crying.

"Oh! No Daddy.. I was just kidding... You can't even understand a small joke and started crying because of me.", Scarlett explained, putting her both hands on her waist.

"No.. No.. I am not crying... Daddy doesn't cry.", Damian said, wiping his tears away.

"Huhh! You can't even tell a lie properly Daddy. I can see your tears clearly in your eyes. SEE.", Scarlett said, wiping his tears from his cheeks.

Scarlett took his tears on her palm to show him, making him emotional.

"See.. My daddy's precious pearl flowing from his eyes without any reason.", Scarlett complained, looking towards Damian straight away.

"Hahaha...Precious pearl? I did not understand Princess.", Damian asked, being confused of why she was regarding his tears as Precious Pearl.

"Aahh! My innocent Daddy. Sometimes I feel you are not my daddy, I am yours. You don't understand such small things.", Scarlett said in her scolding way.

"Hahaha.. Ahhaa.. So the reality is You are my Daddy or I might say My Grandmother who always treat me like a small child.", Damian said and took Scarlett in his arms and put all her gifts he took for her on the side table.

Damian keep Scarlett in his laps and started playing with her hairs waiting for her reply.

" Of course, everytime I have to explain you these small things which even a small child of my age knows now. You are my daddy and you are really precious for me so like that even a small tear from you is also precious to me. Precious like pearls so I kept them secure in my hands. ", Scarlett explained, turning her face towards her father, making him speechless after her explanation.

" Now what? You won't say anything Daddy? Didn't I explain you everything in a better way? Have to explain again? ", Scarlett questioned, after getting no reply from his father side.

"No my Granny.. You explained really well just like old age people who have gain so much experience from all their life. I was just out of words to explain my happiness and shocked and surprised that my little princess is so intelligent and smart at the same time.",Damian told, tickling her here and there making her laugh.

After playing with her and running here and there to caught her as she was running very fast for about twenty minutes both get tired and lay down on the bed to take some rest.

" Daddy promise me one thing.", Scarlett said, after her breathing get even.

"What Promise, Princess?", Damian asked looking at Scarlett.

"That you won't cry again. I don't like it at all. Whenever you came to meet me after so long time you started crying like this getting too much emotional. I only want to cry at my wedding when I would leave you in real to go at my hubby's place.", Scarlett declared smirking and earned a chuckle from Damian.

" Oh my goodness! You are a really naughty child I must say. Who say things like that at such a small age, Scarlett baby? ", Damian asked, feeling both shocked and surprised at her words.

And this time Scarlett started tickling her father to make him smile and the game continues like this.

***

Khushi came out of the washroom only to witnessed Abeer's sleeping face who was looking so handsome just like that.

Khushi quickly looked herself in the mirror to get ready and dry her wet hair with the hair dryer machine so as to not catch cold.

After getting ready, she looked at Abeer who was still sleeping peacefully and smiled at him staring for a good amount of time before leaving from there to wake up Christian and prepare the breakfast for them.

The moment Khushi closed the door behind her Abeer opened his eyes smilingly.

"So Miss. Khushi seems like you are in good mood now finally that's why you choose to play with me, at that much early time.", Abeer talked to himself remembering how Khushi was blocking the sun rays from coming to him.

"She might be thinking I was sleeping that time but I was wide awake the moment she woke up to check her action and now I am pretty sure she was definitely hiding something and was really scared to share that too.", Abeer mumbled, remembering her every movements.

'But I promise you Khushi, I will help you out to overcome your fear because you have helped me at that moment of my life when I was about to die. You saved me and my life.'

'I know I can't repay that with money and anything of this world. And thank you is a very small word for your favour. But I will try my best that I would help you here so that you will get the courage to fight with your problem on your own without getting that much scared.'

"Now it's time to repay at least a small amount of your favour to me. Because I can't see you like that. You don't deserve that Khushi. Now you will have to share your dark secret with me and I will make sure you do that either by hook or by crook.", Abeer declared, hugging his pillow tightly in his embrace.
