The Only String Attached

"You are a great person dad,I'm lucky to be your daughter.I dint knew how your worlds revolved around me..you both suffered a lot..a lot of pain",Mahira said.

"That's all in the past Mahira..now..now..everything will be alright",I said.

"I'm sorry dad..I've just freshened your wounds..I'm sorry.I'm sorry about your wif..I mean..my birth mother",she said.

God..she got to know everything!!

"It's all over Mahira..now you three are my life",I said hugging her.

"I wish I could get a man like you in my life dad..such a loving person",Mahira said.

I smiled at her statement and patted her cheek
"I hope you should not get a person like me Mahira.I spoiled two sisters life",I said and Bela narrowed her eyes at me.

"Mahir stop joking",Bela said sternly.

"No dad..it's nothing like that,you dint spoil their life's..you...you gave them both new life's.You are a great man dad..I'm so sorry",Mahira cried catching her head.

She got that temper from me..she hurts herself when she is angry or hurt.Of course I had a history of anger issues but Mahira deals with them better than me.

"Mahira child..OK..OK,it's OK.Calm down",Bela hugged her.

"Dad I just want to say one thing..I don't hate mom after knowing that she is not my birth mother,I love her more.I don't care if she is not my birth mother...she is my mother and you are my father and Ayaan...he is my little brother.That's all matters to me",Mahira said helding my hands.

"I'm proud of you Mahira...we dint expect you would understand us like this.We thought you can't accept that Bela...",she cut me off.

"She is my mum dad..I'm her daughter.As far as I know..she is my mother since I was born.I shared her love..she is only my mother.I dint see my birth mother all these years and I don't care now.All I care is you both are my parents.And about Bani..I mean..mom's sister and your wife..I don't know anything about her.I mean I got to know about her..she is a good person dad,I'm sad that I couldn't meet her.But I'm more than happy for having her as my mom",Mahira said hugging Bela sideways.

"Dad all three of you were in a different situation when things happened to you.You can't blame anyone,not even your self.Anyone can say that after knowing your story.Only thing which matters is and I'm concerned about is...you both are made for each other",Mahira said looking at us.

I was speechless after listening to my daughter.Firstly,I dint knew how she received it when she got to know.Secondly,she is all grown up now.I never expected that Mahira will be so understanding in this matter.

"Dad you remember?When I was a small kid,you and mom used to sleep in a separate room?I was partially a reason that you both came together.It was your love..your love was very. strong that it pulled mom from London to India.It's always your love dad..your love is very strong and I'm proud to be your daughter.Proud to grow with this love of you both",Mahira said smiling.

How did she get to know all these?Of course..Yuvi and Vish.Only they have the guts to tell her the truth.

I hugged her smiling to myself and Bela was also smiling,wiping her tears.
"Come here",I called Bela to join our hug.

We three were sharing this lovely hug.My angels they are..god always took people from me but never forgot to replace them with another person.

Every person faces problems in their life,many accuse god like me.But it's a circle.We can't change anything.We should always trust and keep faith in god and the destiny.
