Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

They noticed a teenage girl running towards them with two bouquets of roses in her hand.

" Welcome to both of you…" The girl said excitedly with a bright smile on her face.

" She is my only daughter, Lyra, " Joseph introduced her.

" You are looking so beautiful...Lyra. It had been many years, I had seen you…" Katherine said.

Lyra nodded her head with a smile, " You are also looking so gorgeous but a bit chubby" then she gave a bouquet of roses to her and welcomed hugging her.

 Then Lyra went to Adrian and said, " Welcome, Mr. Wilson. I read many articles on the internet about your achievement at a young age. You are more handsome than in photos on the internet. I'm very glad to meet you…"

" Thank you for your compliment, Miss. Lyra, " Adrian replied.

" Let's go to your Mansion…" Joseph interrupted their conversation. Kathie's eyes become sad on hearing about their Mansion. There were many memories at that place with her loved ones. 

" Sir and Madam…" the old driver showed his hand towards the black-colored Royal Royce.

" Uncle… Lucas…" she exclaimed with surprise. He used to be her driver from her childhood to college time.

" Yes...Madam…" he said with a small smile.

" Am I looking like a Madam to you now? I am still the same Kathie…" she said.

" But now you are the CEO of Davis company. And it's not good to address you with your name, " he replied, bowing his head.

" It's all bullshit. I don't keep trust in those things…" she said to him and introduced Adrian as the old man as her childhood personal driver.

" Of course...I remember him. He was the one who stopped him when your car broke down on that rainy night. He was the one who requested me to drop you on my bike. How can I forget when he was the reason to meet you! " Adrian said.

Instantly Katherine's face turned red on remembering the day they met for the first time.

" Wow...when you are free, please share your love story with me…" Lyra asked Adrian all of a sudden.

" Mr. Wilson, I am sorry on behalf of my daughter. As she is an only child, we pampered her a lot and now we are facing the consequences of this naughty brat" Joseph apologized.

" It's okay…Mr. Joseph. I don't mind, " Adrian replied. Then he looked at Lyra and said, " when we get free time, I will tell you about our love story…"

" Thank you, Mr. Wilson…" she replied with excitement.

…..

The old driver opened the door and both of them were seated in the passenger seat whereas Uncle Joseph sat in the front seat. Then he instructed his daughter to go in their car to his house. Once the car started moving, all the memories with her father were going on in her mind. As she continued thinking about her father, she looked depressed. Adrian looked at her who sat silently looking outside and sensed how distressed she was especially after meeting Joseph.

All of sudden, Katherine realized it was not a way to their Mansion. 

" Uncle Joseph, it is not the way to our Mansion. Where are we going? " she questioned.

" You will know…" Joseph answered, looking at her with a sad smile. 

A few minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the cemetery. She looked confusingly at her Uncle then at Adrian. 

" Why do you bring us here? " she asked scarily. She held Adrian's hand with fear and moved closer to him. 

" Kathie... let's go inside…" Uncle Joseph said in a calm tone. Then he continued, " we are here at your father's grave! "

Tears left her eyes when she closed her eyes when Joseph informed her where they were. Adrian placed his shoulders and pressed her arms gently to control her emotions by his touch.

" Kathie…. let's go…" he informed in a low voice. Meanwhile, the driver opened the door to get down for them. Joseph escorted both of them to her father's grave. They stopped at the double headstone where the deceased person's name was written as LUTHER DAVIS and his date of birth.

As soon as she saw the gravestone, she collapsed on the ground while sitting on her knees. She bowed her head on the gravestone and started crying hysterically.

" Dad… I am a bad daughter. I left you like a coward without saving you. Please forgive me…I am sorry as I could not give you a proper goodbye when I left you. Please forgive me…" she cried.

Adrian also kneeled on the floor and placed his palm on her back. He could not utter a single word on seeing her in a bad state. He too had tears in his eyes as he knew the pain of losing his father.

 Joseph leaned towards her and rubbed her hair then he tried to console her, " Kathie… Your father loves you so much that's why he sacrificed his life to save you. He wanted to see you happy. " 

A few minutes passed like that….

Adrian controlled himself and said, " Kathie...If you cry like this, where ever his soul is, it will be not in peace. Be strong..."

Hearing his words, she raised her head from the grave and wiped the tears with her knuckles. He helped her stand properly on her feet. As soon as she stood up on her feet, she felt dizzy. Adrian held her by the arms to balance her not to fall to the ground.

" Kathie...How many times should I have told you to not cry like that! I think your blood pressure is slow again! " Adrian informed her.

" I am fine…" she tried to explain.

" I think she is tired due to the journey and her injury. Let's go…' Joseph said and walked before them whereas the security guards surrounded them. Slowly they walked to the car and again started their journey to the Mansion.

" Am I the reason for her distress! Did I force her to come here! " he worried.

" No...You made the right decision this time. The path you chose was wrong but it is needed. You can't live in fear all her life. Better to solve the problem instead of running away from it…" his mind encouraged him.

" But...I am scared of what she leaves me by misunderstanding me! " his heart questioned him.

" Don't get into the heart's talk...Do your work....when your intention is pure then no need to worry…" his mind said.
