I glanced at the wall clock; it showed 3 in the evening. My mind dragged me to Sweety and her saddened face. I let out a long sigh and walked towards the elevator to attend the meeting.
"What happened to you?" Kayish panicked voice made me turn my head towards him. My heart shuttered when I saw Karan's white shirt was soaked nothing but the red colour which I assumed was blood.
Ohh! God!! What happened to him?
My legs voluntarily carried me towards him and I fell down when I heard his next words. "Sweety got an accident."
My baby. What happened to her?
---
I don't know how I ended up here in the hospital, leaning on the wall praying for Sweety's life.
Juliet, Kayish, Rachel, and Karan are staying with me for the past one hour. Juliet is always my side, smoothening nothing but sweet words for my comfort.
When Miss. Jaden went to pick her up from school, she tried to run away and crossed the road. The car hit her when the driver failed to put the sudden brake on time. I can't blame her, it's part of my mistake too.
The doctor who performed the surgery on Sweety came out and I ran towards him. "How is my baby?" I clutched his hand hoping to hear good news. I know I am a crying mess but who cares. All I wanted to hear that my baby is okay.
He stayed silent for the second before letting out a loud breath. "We need 48 hours to declare the statement. She had lost lots of blood." He gave me an apologetic look and walked past me.
Blood... Blood...
Everywhere I saw blood. My baby's blood. I can't lose her. Once again, today I lost my temper and charged towards him.
"It's all happened because of you. Our life was smooth before you came." I grabbed his collar and hit his chest. He didn't flinch, either stopped me. "We were good until you came." I cried until my leg gave up making me fall onto the ground.
I'm scared out of my shit. What if I lost my baby? "I lost my peaceful life, I lost her. You killed her. You killed your own flesh, you jerk!!!!" I screamed out of agony.
"What the f**k..." He was stunned like he saw the ghost. All the colours in his body drained off from his system, mine as well.
I slapped my hand over my mouth when I gained the consciousness of what I told him. He was stunned, speechless, and shocked the moment he realized what I meant.

"What the fuck?"
She slapped her hand over her mouth when the word just slipped out of her mouth. All the colours in her body drained out of her system causing her to look like a ghost, I on the other hand completely froze where I stand.
"What do you mean?" I whispered my eyes are brimmed with unshed tears. I'm emotionally hurt by this moment. How could she be mine? Why didn't I realize it earlier?
"Is that true?" I yelled when I didn't get the answer that I'm dying to hear. She stayed silent for what seemed to hours not giving my damn answer.
"Riya, is she mine?" I asked losing my temper. "Damn! Answer me, you idiot..." I roared like an angry lion who was just happened to lose his cub.
Please say 'yes'. Meanwhile, my inner mind begged for some unknown reason. I have no idea when did I start to love the little bunny although she snatched the utmost chance of me being with her.
"Yes!!! Unfortunately, she's yours. So, what???" She cried. Actually, she cried. No waves of guilty showed in her pretty face. When did she polish her heart with the silver?
I was speechless. Even though my mind was very keen to hear those words and when it heard, It left me speechless. Anger, betrayal... That's what I felt right this moment.
My whole body went numb the moment I heard what she said. It's like someone poured a dozen ice cubes on my body. My head started to spin around, and I shut my eyes to gain some balance.
I can't believe this. Sweety is my child, my own flesh, mine to called as a daughter. I thought I was left alone but no, the truth is I have my little family out there, but she snatched everything from me.
Whenever I saw her I was angry with her, because of her I lost my second chance I had with her but couldn't even think of it before, that she would be my flesh, my baby. She is my baby... my little bunny.... my cutie pie... my Sweety...
Without my concern, a small drop of water rolled through my cheeks making me realize that I have been crying for the whole time.
Crying for what?
I missed everything. Her first cries, her first smiles, her first step, her first words, everything... I missed everything.
I was betrayed, she is lying through the whole time, the nerve of her. I fisted my hand and charged towards her, I don't care who she is or to me, she did the worst and deserve the punishment.
"Kayish." Rachel's stern voice stopped me from my track. "No." She shook her head disapprovingly. I took a deep breath to calm my sense otherwise I would do something I will regret later.
She is on the floor crying her heart out, if it had happened on another day I would have given my shoulder for her support but today I want her to suffer more, more than I suffered.
Why didn't she tell me that I have a daughter? Why did she lie? Why?!! I pulled my hair out of frustration. No. I can't take it anymore. I need justice!! I need whatever belongs to me and I need my daughter. My baby
Giving her one last glance, I took my phone from my pant pocket and dialled the number who will bring justice to me. I know I will win in the end, after all the world is all mine.
