Having done with the long and tiring graduation ceremony, the proud father and the excellent daughter duo finally decided to take their leave and have a little and simple celebration as an appreciation for his princess’ efforts.
The two walked towards the parking lot leisurely and hopped in the car in a casual way.
"Let's go..."
Mr. Smith urged his personal driver to drove away as he could sense his daughter's sadness and sorrows resurfacing again while watching the other students laughing with their complete family members. His daughter felt envy while looking at them and it triggered her hidden feelings again.
"Yes sir!" Was the driver's short reply as he was sensible enough about their next location.
Leaving the alma matter which was leading happy and joyful atmosphere, they headed straight towards the fine restaurant with their advanced reservation.
Both entered the luxurious dining area in a gracefull manner. Once seated in a private room, Mr. Smith summoned the waiter in their room for their immediate orders. And the waiter immediately responded as he had already known the man's respectful identity and he was also a shareholder himself of the restaurant.
For some reason, the loving father was totally bothered by his daughter’s enexplicable silence. He had noticed that she’s just starring far away blankly. He couldn’t help but feel worried. He coughed a little louder to get his daughter’s missing attention.
“Ahem! Is there something bothering you, baby? Care to share it to your old daddy?” He asked worriedly.
Meanwhile, Izzabelle was a bit startled to hear her father’s sudden coughing.
“Nothing dad.., I’m just thinking of... mom and Inzo. If they are still alive right now, maybe... maybe our little celebration would get more happier than ever. I missed them so much dad..!”
Her voice came as a whisper which laced with so much sadness. Her heart also felt sad and heavy for the other person in her life that seems to vanished into thin air like a ghost to her. She had loved him so much in such a short time, but he chose to leave her behind without looking back. Not even bothering about how would she feel.“Come on princess, I know your still sad about it but can’t you even give a little smile for your daddy? Please baby..!”
Her father pleaded for her smile desperately. She literally knows her daddy too, he loved her mom and brother so much just like her. So she decided not to make things difficult for him anymore.
She released a short sigh and determinedly gathered up all her courage then she lifted up her lips into a sweet smile looking happy like a spoiled child.
Her daddy’s face momentarily lit up while looking at her lovingly. He loves his only heiress so much. He would do anything for her.
In a very short while, their orders were delivered and arranged deliciously on their table and both decided to focus on their own plates.
30 minutes had already passed and they both fully stuffed their hungry stomachs to their limits. Izzabelle is now thinking about the ‘offer’ that her father told her earlier at the campus. She began to panic as different weird thoughts and worst scenarios kept on appearing on her calculative mind.
‘What if my father set me up for a business marriage? No! no! No! This can’t be..! I still have plans!'
She thought of it inwardly while frowning deeply.
“Princess, why are you frowning? Look at me... tell me about your worries... I’m always here for you, remember? We have each other’s back okay? You know, I would always support you, right?”
Her dad even tried his best to convince her to spill her inner thoughts that was undoubtfully bothering her.
“I... uhmm..." Izzabelle began to stutter with her words as she took a deep breath and continued, "Dad, would you mind telling me about this 'offer’ of yours? Cause you’re really are scarring me already... and please... don’t tell me that you’re setting me up on a marriage..?”
She questioned in one breath almost pleadingly. If ever, she would just apologize to her father sincerly because she’s not going to full fill his request no matter what. Not this time!
“Hahaa!”
Her father burst out laughing finding her thoughts really amusing.
“Dad, come on.. this isn’t funny! Just tell me already. Don’t make me freak out!”
She blurted out immediately trying to be stern and serious. But she sighed in relief knowing that her father didn’t take her words seriously.
“Don’t be ridiculous princess! That’s not what I’m talking about. But I’ll give it a carefull thought next time.”
Her dad replied in astonishment and bewilderment.
“If its not... what is it then? Tell me now dad or I can’t sleep peacefully tonight.”
She inquired nervously, as she pursed her lips while clasping her hands together waiting for her father to speak.
The older Smith cleared his throat then he began..
“I would like to send you abroad princess, for further education. There is an international training organization somewhere that suits your abilities and skills. I need you to go, to develop, sharpen, and maximize those talents of yours. Can you do that for me?”
Mr. Smith explained carefully hoping his daughter would come to understand his deep concerns and worries for her future. He starred at his daughter’s eyes intently waiting for the right answers he expected.
Mr. Smith starred at his daughter’s face expectantly, trying to find signs of disagreement but all he could see was only worries and longing. He needed to explain some more to make her understand why he had planned something like this for her. “Princess, please say something... you can ask questions about what you want to know. I would answer it one at a time.” Izzabelle was silent for a moment, she didn’t totally disagree with her dad’s offer but she was so hesitant to accept it because she was worried about her father. Leaving him alone made her sad and gloomy. “Dad, may I ask you something? I hope you could tell me the truth.?” She couldn’t help but asked, she was been so curious before about the possible answers but she was refraining herself, now is the time she guessed. “Shoot! I’m all ears baby..!” Cam
Early in the morning on the following day, Izzabelle then proposed to have a serious talk to her father and finally decided to accept her father’s once in a lifetime offer and set aside all her worries for the meantime. Her dad couldn't be more happier as he assured his daughter that he would be fine during her absence. He promised solemnly that he would deal everything according to himself. Mr. Smith couldn’t hide his excitement when he finally heard his expected answer from Izzabelle. She hesitated but finally gave in, they agreed to communicate each other regularly. He would always keep her updated if necessary. Her father had planned everything for her instantly ahead of time. The following day Izzabelle packed her personal belongings and catch her flight. The father and daughter duo hugged and bid their goo
5 years later... A gorgeous woman is sitting leisurely at one of the VIP seats of a waiting area of NY airport. She has a long straight shiny brown hair that reached to her waist, long tanned and smooth slender legs, and a perfect shaped body like those of an hourglass. She got a pair of perfect firm sizes of assets in the front and a pair of hot tempting looking firm cheeks at the back that guys could have drool and imagine of. She wore a sea blue coloured body con dress that reached to her thighs. The designer dress perfectly suits her curves and a six inches of black highed heels. Her face is unrecognizable and mysterious due to her big pair of expensive shades that perfectly hides her hazel fiery eyes. She wore a cold, calm, and indifferent temperament demeanor. Her palm shaped creamy face was devoid of any emotions. She is surrounded with a p
“If you don’t have an appointment, you'd better back out because you can’t see him today! You have to set one to get your seductive ass into his office. He’s a busy boss and I would not allow and tolerate any of you're kind to approach him!” The lazy female receptionist which looked in her thirties yelled loudly at Izzabelle trying to catch everyone’s attention to focus on them. She wanted to embarrass and humiliate the gorgeous lady in front of her desk unreasonably for looking for their handsome CEO. And she successfully caught the employees' gossipy attention. The mad woman whom they called as their receptionist was now glaring at her fiercely like she was some sort of an unknown creature that suddenly teleported from the outer space. The crowd was uncontrollably getting crazy every seconds as it passed whispering harsh words against her to each other. They’re also starring dagge
After having done with the lobby's nonsense and shenanigans, the father and daughter duo decided to take their leave under the curious and envious gazes of their employees. The two walked closely to each other and went towards the CEO’s exclusive elevator. The dignified CEO pressed the elevator's button to open it's door and gentlemanly lead his daughter to go inside first before he proceeded to dragged himself next to enter. He then pressed the close button and proceeded to press again the 50th floor button of the building which was exclusive only for the executives. "Dad, how have you been doing while I'm gone?" The young Smith was undoubtedly curious as she was itching to know a
Leaving the bathroom, she made her way to the lounge exit which was exactly her father’s very own office. She roamed her eyes around the wide and luxurious yet simply decorated room and noticed that the interior design of her daddy’s office doesn’t even change through out the years. The room still look the same as it look like before, white and gray in color with a huge book shelf full of business books in a right corner, a new set of black leather couch with a glass coffee table in its center. And still stood in the corner of the right a mini bar with his own collection of aged wines that serves his little scape from everything. While observing the whole wide and spacious office her eyes fell unconsciously into an old and antique familiar oil painting which was attached on the wall for ages across her father's office table. It was their complete family of four. On t
Mr. Smith whom Mr. Scott's longtime friend had known exactly why his friend seems so sad and melancholic in narrating his story about his own son. He once had a son too. A young and good looking one just like his daughter but fate treated them ruthlessly and played them cruelly. And not just his son but also his wife was taken away from them. Leaving the two of them suffering in too much agony. The feeling of grievance and sorrows that he choose to hide in his heart within the years resurfaced again. The bleeding wound that he ignored as time went to pass by as he thought that it had already healed but he was wrong. It was just patched up momentarily and it burst out again as it was tightening his chest even more. But he can’t let his emotions wrapped himself again.
After the three individual's overwhelming conversations at Mr. Smith’s office they went onto their separate ways as usual carrying a heavy and grieving hearts. Later that night they decided to tend their wounds and wait for the next upcoming events as they couldn't do anything than to wait and head back home immediately and took few hours of rest to refuel enough energy for themselves. Earlier today, Izzabelle was woken up by a sudden special alarming tone of her mobile phone. It had a different settings and special featuresunlike some ordinary mobile phones that were sold at the world market. She specifically designed and personalised it according to her liking to avoid any irrelevant inconvenience.
