I knocked on the little brown door of my childhood home.
Well more than childhood,I lived here till 3 months back.
'DAD!' I shouted while continuously knocking on the door and trying to open the door.
I heard a click and felt my shoulders drop in relief, I would've passed out if he'd taken a second more.
I pretended like I was about to cry and to be honest I wasn't even sure if I was pretending.
He narrowed his eyes and when they met mine his expression softened.
'What happened child? Is this about Valerie? Is she alright?'
He bombarded me with questions, it was always about her.
I'd be dying but he'd still be thinking about her.
No. This is wrong, she's my sister after all , I can't be so bitter.
But again I'm not as nice as she is.
I have to do this though,I've promised her.
'Dad Val-Valerie is dead'
I watched him almost fall from the shock.
I hated doing this right now but I also knew that there was no turning back.
If I tried to back out and told him the truth, both he and Val would never forgive me .
'Dad' I tried to catch him as he fell and his heavy body leaning on to me made me fall back.
He cried out loud and I got scared.
'My daughter' He fell on the floor and I fell with him. I shed a stray tear, feeling bad for doing this.
I'd lied so easily that I myself was surprised.
He shook his head as tears soaked my shirt and got up.
I followed as he shut the door on my face and I didn't try to stop him.
I went and sat on the couch and took the tiny phone out of my pocket.
'It's done.'
