As Anayra ran towards me, it brought a big smile on my face. I love her so much. I picked her up in my arms. Her one smile literally lights up my world.
"Hello, piccolo." I said, she chuckled as I called her piccolo.
"I brought you cupcakes. It's my birthday!!" She grinned excitedly. My smile frozed. I looked at Anaisha who was looking at the ground.
It's Anayra's birthday,and I didn't even know that!!?
What kind of father I am?
I smiled softly at Anayra and said, "Happy Birthday princess. You should have told me that your birthday is coming!" I caresssed her hair. I wish I knew it was her birthday, I could have planned somethi-- wait.. it's not like Anaisha would let me spend the birthday with Anayra.
"Only Mumma remember my birthday. I can't remember date." She pouted at me at which I chuckled. God she's so so cute. I kissed her cheeks.
"Mumma, please give the cupcake to handsome." She said merrily. My gaze snapped at Anaisha who looked at Anayra in shock. I didn't say anything and waited for Anaisha to say or do something.
Anaisha finally picked up the cupcake and walked to us. She was now glaring at me.just seeing her infront of me, with a cupcake that's made by her brings in a lot of memories. She forwarded the cake to me, I took it immediately.
"You don't have to forcefully eat it." Anaisha whispered slowly and then walked back and stood away from me. I ignored her words and took a bite, this cupcake just feels HOME. The satisfaction after eating this is something I would always crave for.
"Anayra, now let's go. AK and Sara is coming too." Anaisha said to Anayra. I looked at her. Is she going to take Anayra back so soon I mean she just came here. Atleast let Anayra be here for some hours. Anayra wiggled in my arms, wanting to get down. I reluctantly out her down. She ran back to Dadu and kissed his cheek. Dadu chuckled and ruffle her hair.
Everything would have been so different if I had not took that one decision rashly.
Anayra tugged on my pants which made me come out of my thoughts. I bended down to her level,
"Yes Princess?"
"Can you come to my house in evening? We have party!" She grinned at me, clapping her hands.
"Oh su--"
"No Anayra, He must be busy. We shouldn't disturb his work!" Anaisha cut me off. I looked at her, I wanted to come but clearly Anaisha doesn't want me there. I mean it's okay, it's .. she is right. Why would she let me be there..
Damn it why does it hurts then?!!
"Oh you're busy?" She pouted at me.
No, Princess I could never be busy for you!
I just smiled at her, not knowing what to reply. "It's okay. Work is important." She said cutely turning back and walking to where Anaisha is standing. She's seriously so understanding, smart for her age. How does a 3 year old girl says these things.
