The Only String Attached 2

But I couldn't meet her,not even once.

Anger was filling inside me with a frustration that I'm not able to meet my own flesh and blood.

I used to see my daughter like a thief,all these three months.Just a look from afar.

One day I was caught by her father when I was climbing up their balcony,but even he couldn't say anything to me.He also knows how a father's love is.

I couldn't see Bela,but I could see my sleeping daughter from far.Anger,pain,guilt,all flooding inside me from all these months.

I don't want to get separated from her,so I gave a plea to the court.

The only way to apologize and get my family back!

"Dadda..",I snapped into reality when Mahira called me.

"Dadda..you cry..",she asked climbing on me.

"No..no baby,I'm not",I wiped my tears.

"Dadda..don cryy...",she said cupping my huge face in her little palms.

I smiled and kissed her palms,
"No Mahira,dadda is not crying.Mahira is with dadda na,dadda will not cry baby",I smiled.

She wiped my tears and gave a small peck on my lips,
"I lobee you dadda..",she said.

"I love you too baby,dadda loves you the most.I'm so sorry",I kissed her and hugged her.

My Mahira suffered because of me.She cried for me,she loves me.I neglected my daughter due to work,and lost them because of my anger and awfull things I said to Bela.

"Mahira..",Bela called her coming out from our room.

Mahira peeked at her and hid her face immediately in my neck,looking at the medicine in Bela's hands.

"Bela,what is that?"I asked caressing Mahira's hairs.

"It's a cough syrup,she's been coughing from yesterday night",Bela said coming towards us.

"Mumma noo..",Mahira groaned clinging onto me tightly.

"Bela,let it be.We will make her take it after sometime",I said.

"Mahir don't be silly,you know that she couldn't sleep properly yesterday night,she has been coughing",Bela said and sat beside us,filling the filler with syrup.

Mahira looked at her and swatted away her hand,making the filler fall on the floor,
"Noo..",Mahira almost cried.

And Bela looked angry!

"Mahira,what is this?"Bela asked sternly.

"Dadda noo..noo..",her voice was muffled as she was crying silently hiding her face in my neck.

"Bela,let's wait for sometime.She will cry now.We will give after sometime",I said.

"Mahir try to understand,it has to be given at the right time.Or else it could get worse",Bela said filling the filler again.

"But Bela,she is already whining now.She won't have it,she will spill it again",I said and Bela huffed with annoyance.

"Mahir I know you can't understand my pain.Please let me do my work",Bela said trying to take Mahira from me and I felt anger bubbling inside me.

"Bela,is this the way to talk?"I asked seething with anger.

"Mumma..no..noo..",Mahira shouted when Bela took her from me.

"Mahira,stop testing my patience",Bela said and Mahira was crying.

Can't she see it?Mahira is crying.
