As a kid, she needs both her parent's support in her life. Why don't I tell him the truth? Does he suppose to be a good dad? Should I tell him?
"No" my inner mind rushed. "Don't forget what he did to you, to us". I inhaled deeply to get rid of my negative thought which came onto my mind to break me down.

I heard a soft knock on my door. Who is at this time? I have no visitor today. "It may be Juliet." I said to myself and walked towards the door wiping my face with my bare hands.
I unlocked the door before saying, "come in, the door is open now." And walked towards the bathroom to wash my face, let the door opened for her.
"What happened to you? Are you okay? Why are you crying? Is the little bunny.."
I stopped on my track and turned my heads to find the owner of that voice and found myself broke into pieces than I was already. "Why are you here?" I asked in my most calmed tone.
"I just wanted to check you out. Cause.. cause you are not with me when I woke up..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" I barely raised my voice.
"Riya, I remember everything--- I mean you were with me but again when I woke up, you are nowhere to found. Do you have any idea how I lost when I didn't find you?"He clenched and unclenched his fist.
"Stop your bullshit!! And don't act as you are caring for me. I know who you are and what are you capable of." I spat.
"So, are you saying you are not with me, huh?" He asked almost to himself furrowing his brow.
"Why should I be with you?" I throw him a disgusting look.
"Yesterday, you were hard to handle, so I think I brought you to my apartment..."
"Mr. Miller. I am not an easy person who falls over just because of ten glasses. I had my control over me and don't think I was with you, I think you are hallucinating." I snapped at him.
"You are lying... I can feel.." He was not sure about the matter.
"Stop it. I don't want to hear any of your bullshit anymore, just leave!!" I pointed my forefinger towards the door, hoping he would leave me alone not digging the night anymore.
I don't even remember everything I did at the club, it was a mere image of me and him making out, but I'm not sure about this. I was tipsy at that moment and now I regretted why did I choose alcohol to let go of my stress, and also I found myself dragged into more mess than I already was.
"Okay...It's maybe one of my dreams that I used to get into." He said shrugging his shoulders casually like it is not a matter to him as it was a regular routine.
So, he is dreaming me of every night. Isn't he? I felt disgusted again.
I bit my lips to control my sob but I failed and broke down into a sob. I buried my face between my palms ashamed of everything. Within a second, he stood next to me engulfing me in his arms and patting my shoulder up and down.
"I'm not here to hurt you, I'm sorry if I did." He said, concern is evident in his voice.
"What do you want now?" I pulled him away. "You broke my heart four years ago. Aren't you satisfied with the damage you had already caused me? Now, what do you want?" I clutched his shirt and threw the questing one by one.
"Because of you, my baby left..." I was taken aback by what I was about to tell him. I lost my control over my body and all my emotions are taking over.
"What are you saying? What I did?" He threw me a horror expression.
I thought for a moment then came with a lie to blame him. "My baby left fatherless because of you? You are the reason why I am into this mess. Well.. aren't you happy with?" I asked even though I didn't get what I am saying.
"Listen, I'm not sorry for what happened to your Ex, because he got what he deserved. He took my place and I never ever share what is mine with anyone. Don't blame me for your lost, if he had alive I would have killed him and buried him six feet under the ground." He gritted his teeth.
I felt a slight headed and clutched the sofa to my support preventing me from fall off my face.
"Hey!! Are you okay?" He tried to get me in his arms but I shoved his hands away. I found trouble to breath normal. I heard him curse loudly before took his phone to call someone whom I assume was a doctor through my blurred vision.
"Riya, stay awake." I heard his panicked voice before darkness consumed me.

"Mommy... Mommy... wake up." I heard a tiny voice followed by a male voice saying "Shh... let her take rest."
I opened my eyes and met a strange man sitting beside me having a small smile on his face whose face is familiar to me. Ahh...I met him before, but where? Yeah, I met him in the hospital, his name is Jack... I assume and he is his friend.
"How are you feeling now?" He asked.
"I'm good." He twisted his lips and shook his head. "Take a rest. You seem weak." I nodded my head and looked away.
"Okay, I'm leaving then. Kayish called me here and I threatened him to leave this place before I started your treatment. You guys are something.. Whatever, it's not my place. Anyway, don't stress around. Take care." He said standing up ready to leave.
I'm glad he is not here. "Okay." I gave him a weak reply and he walked out of my room.
"Mommy." She gave me a worried look.
I stretched both my hands and set her in my lap. "I'm fine baby." I hope so. I hugged her.
Am I really okay?
