Stolen Kisses

3) Conflict.

Daniel felt relieved when he saw his little sister sleeping soundly. Then his thought drifted towards the girl with whom he bumped earlier.

Who is she? She kinda looked familiar? Is she new nanny or important guest?

From important guest, it remind him his father words. He had to report him in 30 minutes. He quickly placed a kiss on Amanda forehead and left her room.

He straightly walked to his father's office. He knocked before entering.

" Come in", he heard his father voice. He entered into his father's office and slammed door hard behind him.

" What the f'ck you want know. Planning to separate my sister from me?", he yelled on his father. He was a never a father to him. It's only a cunning busuness man for him.

" Lower your voice. You are in my house", his father snapped at him.

" Don't you have some shame. I told you earlier, we have a family dinner together tonight. Then why the f'ck you didn't showed up. Do you know how much embarrassment you caused to me in front of Jiya", his father blurted.

" What the f'ck you are saying. Have you ever treated us like a family. You just keep faking a happy family in front of others to gain their sympathy. Have you ever really cared about us? I am sick and tired of all this dad. Why don't you just leave me alone", Daniel spoke out all feeling in front of his father.

" If you have truly behaved like a good son today. I might have, do you know how much money i bring to this family to fulfil everyone need and desire. Thousands of people are dying to live a life like you, but you being a ungrateful child always crying for attention", his father abruptly got up from his seat to moved towards his son.

" Listen to me son, and listen carefully. Jiya is here. She'll stay here for two years until she complete her highschool. So i want you to treat her with at most respect and be Friend with her", he placed his hands on his son's shoulder. Daniel huffed in annoyance.

" Who is she?", Daniel spoke.

" You didn't recognised her right. She is your childhood friend", his father pointed towards their childhood photograph which he keep deliberately in his office for presentation.

"NO doubt she looked familiar, she is my friend from Kindergarten"

" What are you planning dad? You are using her right. Just like you do with your business client", Daniel smirk and crossed his hands on his chest. James jaw chechened hard. He controlled his boiling rage because he need his son's help in order to gain Jiya's grandpa.

He took deep breaths before speaking. " Son i need your help in this. You see Jiya grandpa is investor in our business and if Jiya happy, her grandpa will also be happy. So please Daniel help me in this. This is the last time i am asking for help son please", James spoke with pleading voice to his son, but he's nowhere near pleading. He's just a good actor who deserve an Oscar award.

Daniel stood stunned with his father change in tone. He know his father again faking so he came up with an idea of bargain. Bargain for his little sister freedom for this little two year acting contract.

" Fine dad i will help you, but i also want something in return dad", Daniel spoke calmly using same tone which his father used.

" Oh, so you want to play little boy. Don't forget i am your father"

His father smiled.

" I am ready to give you anything son", he finally spoke.

" what do you want?"

" I want Amanda custody", Daniel spoke firmly.

" I want you to hand over me Amanda's custody. From now on you will have no right on her", his father by the time already have guessed what he is going to demand.

" I have lied my whole life. A little lie to my son won't hurt"

" Okay i will hand you Amanda custody, but only after you fulfil the condition of gaining Jiya's trust", his father smirk.

" i will hand you custody only after two years later", Daniel stood still, he is not 18 so he can't have Amanda custody.

" 2 years is short period. All i just want is to save my sister for this evil man"

" fine deal", he spoke started walking out from his father's office.

" And son if you ever by chance you develop romantic feeling for Jiya, then i won't mind you two marriage at all", James spoke and chuckled at his statement.

" There is always a possibility for what if"

Daniel groaned and walked out. Whatever his dad said at end is against his morals. He won't do that. He just want his sister's freedom.

"Hello grandpa"

"Jiya you called. I was waiting for you call. How are you kiddo", Jiya her felt heavy after hearing her grandpa voice from other side.

" I am great grandpa. Everyone is here so nice and warm", she replied.

" see i told you, you will like there", his grandpa chuckled.

" How are Anderson's are they treating you well?", her grandpa asked her in a grumpy voice. She know how protective her grandpa over her.

" Yes grandpa, they a amazing. Mrs. Anderson even prepared my favourite dishes", she replied.

" Still Jiya, promise me. You won't hide anything from me"

" Okay okay you win. I will call you everyday and tell you all shit happen in a day with me. Okay old man", she laughed at her last word.

" Jiya respect", her grandpa spoke again in grumpy voice.

" Okay, okay i am sorry", she raised her hand in surrender.

" You better be"

" Okay grandpa. I have school tommorow so good night. And don't stress. Always take medicine on time. Got that", Jiya spoke.

" Okay mama. Good night", they both bid their good night to each other and hung up their calls.

"Ahnn new school. I can't wait for tommorow", Jiya somewhat excited for getting into her new school. She love making friends. She can't wait for tommorow.
