His Beautiful Mistake✔️

daddy's eyes

it had been the next morning, and the little girl begins to stir awake.

she slowly opens her eyes expecting her daddy to be right there, ready to give her a bath.

but to the little girl's surprise, he wasn't. then she got excited, and thought 'oh he is hiding' she was happy to play hide'n'seek with her daddy first thing in the morning.

she looks under the bed, in the closet, his bathroom, until she gave up.

"daddy? where are you" she says running around the room aimlessly, "daddy?" she peeks around the corners, and she goes to her bedroom, no one.

"okay daddy you win, just come out" she says in defeat, this was when rue emerges from the stairs, "rue! do you know where  my daddy is hiding" aurie asks innocently looking up to the nanny.

the nanny had bags under her eyes, she wasn't ready to face aurie yet.

"well, your daddy left for work early" rue says which was the truth.

"oh? so early..he doesn't say bye" aurie pouts,

rue was a coward, she didn't have the courage to even give the letters to his daughter, but somehow she mustered the courage.

"hun. your daddy left these for you" rue finally says, handing the envelope.

the pout on the little girl's face turns into a grin, "yay!" she was quick to open the envelope and inside was emerald earrings.

"pretty!" she exclaims, unable to read the note along with it, "read this to me please" she continues.

rue inhales, she didn't want to cry in front of the child, so she slowly unfolds the note.

"my dearest daughter, remember daddy loves you always." rue pauses, not wanting to continue but she did.

at the end of the message, the little girl already had tears forming, "no! your wrong" she screams crying, as she rushes down the stairs and out the door, running down the driveway,

"daddy!" she didn't believe rue, she just didn't.

why would her father leave without saying goodbye in person. her father wasn't like that, the little girl's tears began to blur her vision.

the nanny had caught up with her, and just pulled the child into her embrace.

"i know hun. you miss him a lot, I know" she tries to soothe the sobbing child,

"I want daddy.." aurie cries as she buried her face into the nanny's abdomen, leaving tear stains to her shirt.

rue finds herself letting some tears slip, she felt so bad for the little girl, a year seems like an eternity to the child. rue understood the feeling all too well, her mother had claimed to be back after 6 months, but never did.

rue was afraid. she was afraid that the little girl's father wouldn't return.

she only remembers her mother returning back into her life at her 16th birthday, just to say goodbye.

rue prayed that it wouldn't happen to little aurie.

"I want daddy! I miss daddy" aurie continues to cry, while the nanny picks her up in her arms, bringing them back to the house.

then a car is heard, and aurie turns to see it was her daddy's car.

she lets go of rue, "daddy is here!" aurie exclaims wiping away her tears, but then the car parks in its' regular space in the garage door, aurie watches as the driver steps out.

"where's daddy?!" she asks, "oh hun.." rue put her hand over her mouth trying to not cry.

"I dropped your father off" the driver states, unemotional.
