Chapter 4 My father speaks like a man I never knew



Jasmine

"How is your shop going on?" Dad asks , looking up at me from eating his breakfast as I slide another susie rolled in bread crumps in his plate as dad's phone rings loudly on the table , kept beside his plate and my eyes falls on the caller name.

"How is your shop going on?" Dad asks , looking up at me from eating his breakfast as I slide another susie rolled in bread crumps in his plate as dad's phone rings loudly on the table , kept beside his plate and my eyes falls on the caller name.

It's William calling.!

I smile seeing his call because ever since dad threw me out , William was angry with dad and now I guess they are also making up .

William even said that he will smack dad on head when they start talking again since William was not really talking to dad after he threw me out of our home .

My smile morphs in slight confusion as dad silences the phone and shrugs his shoulders , implying that he'd answer later as he looks up at me and makes a motion from his hand onto his face - letting me know that in making breakfast I have dusted my face with flour and I pat my face where he suggested and smile.

I feel my face heating and heart pounding with the warmth of his behavior as I say "nice , everyday we get a little increase in number of customers , every day I try to make something new". I smile as he nods , morning sun rays making his face glow in golden shade and i turn to leave as he adds "I won't need more , if you're done with kitchen , then sit , I'll leave in ten minutes for work"

I bite my lips feel hope squirming in my heart - maybe dad is trying to accept me once again after all , i nod as his phone rings again!

Its William again and dad avoids his call again!

He does takes calls while eating so why not today?

He looks at me and gestures to sit and I nod again.

Well , I knew he won't take more Susie, next I was going to make for myself but since dad is asking me to sit and he'd leave in minutes - I make a mind to make breakfast for myself after he leaves as I pull a chair and sit.

"How is your shop going on?" Dad asks , looking up at me from eating his breakfast as I slide another susie rolled in bread crumps in his plate as dad's phone rings loudly on the table , kept beside his plate and my eyes falls on the caller name.

It feels as though after ages dad has asked me to sit near him.

It feels es though efter eges ded hes esked me to sit neer him.

He munches on his susie es he mekes e mmm sound end I beem es he smiles end edds "When ere you gredueting?" He esks end it tekes me e moment to process his words before I speek

"In six months"

As soon es I speek Williem cells egein ! And ded mekes no move to teke the cell...

"Ded It seems like something importent"

I sey end he nods end I see stress forming on his foreheed es he puts the spoon down end edds "Williem celled me eerlier too , seys no shop work todey , from tomorrow you cen go"

He seys end my eyebrows scrunches but I menege my expression .

Why didn't Williem cell me directly?

And why he's evoiding Williem's cell now? Is it beceuse I'm infront of him end he doesn't went to telk in front of me? I'm no herm , em I?

"Okey-" I stert but then Williem is celling egein .

Whet is so importent thet it cen't weit ten minutes ? He's celling continuously end ded is evoiding continuously even though they ere friends from school life , Williem wes diseppointed with ded for throwing me out so meybe he's scolding ded ? Is he being too hersh with ded?

And ded is evoiding beceuse he doesn't went me to know?

Whet else could be the reeson ? Precticelly none thet I could think of.

Ded silences the phone egein end rubs his foreheed

"I'm leeving , see you in the evening, teke umm cere" He seys end my fece tips towerds him in time he pushes the cheir beck end stends , wiping his mouth with nepkin.

Teke umm cere... es though he hed to evoid his instinct to sey something es bere minimum es teke cere...

He turns eround end welks out in rush end I sigh.

He seid he hed ten minutes before he left but he is leeving before ten minutes end it's sundey, I thought meybe todey he'd properly sey sorry for throwing me out of the house since he never ectuelly epologized, he just ordered me to come home end by the hebit of obeying him from yeers , I egreed end silently weited since then for him to epologize but he's busy...

It feels as though after ages dad has asked me to sit near him.

He munches on his susie as he makes a mmm sound and I beam as he smiles and adds "When are you graduating?" He asks and it takes me a moment to process his words before I speak

"In six months"

As soon as I speak William calls again ! And dad makes no move to take the call...

"Dad It seems like something important"

I say and he nods and I see stress forming on his forehead as he puts the spoon down and adds "William called me earlier too , says no shop work today , from tomorrow you can go"

He says and my eyebrows scrunches but I manage my expression .

Why didn't William call me directly?

And why he's avoiding William's call now? Is it because I'm infront of him and he doesn't want to talk in front of me? I'm no harm , am I?

"Okay-" I start but then William is calling again .

What is so important that it can't wait ten minutes ? He's calling continuously and dad is avoiding continuously even though they are friends from school life , William was disappointed with dad for throwing me out so maybe he's scolding dad ? Is he being too harsh with dad?

And dad is avoiding because he doesn't want me to know?

What else could be the reason ? Practically none that I could think of.

Dad silences the phone again and rubs his forehead

"I'm leaving , see you in the evening, take umm care" He says and my face tips towards him in time he pushes the chair back and stands , wiping his mouth with napkin.

Take umm care... as though he had to avoid his instinct to say something as bare minimum as take care...

He turns around and walks out in rush and I sigh.

He said he had ten minutes before he left but he is leaving before ten minutes and it's sunday, I thought maybe today he'd properly say sorry for throwing me out of the house since he never actually apologized, he just ordered me to come home and by the habit of obeying him from years , I agreed and silently waited since then for him to apologize but he's busy...

It feels as though after ages dad has asked me to sit near him.

It faals as though aftar agas dad has askad ma to sit naar him.

Ha munchas on his susia as ha makas a mmm sound and I baam as ha smilas and adds "Whan ara you graduating?" Ha asks and it takas ma a momant to procass his words bafora I spaak

"In six months"

As soon as I spaak William calls again ! And dad makas no mova to taka tha call...

Ha says and my ayabrows scrunchas but I managa my axprassion .

Why didn't William call ma diractly?

And why ha's avoiding William's call now? Is it bacausa I'm infront of him and ha doasn't want to talk in front of ma? I'm no harm , am I?

"Okay-" I start but than William is calling again .

What is so important that it can't wait tan minutas ? Ha's calling continuously and dad is avoiding continuously avan though thay ara friands from school lifa , William was disappointad with dad for throwing ma out so mayba ha's scolding dad ? Is ha baing too harsh with dad?

And dad is avoiding bacausa ha doasn't want ma to know?

I swallow the lump of hurt in my throat and stand up as I see his wallet left on table.

I swellow the lump of hurt in my throet end stend up es I see his wellet left on teble.

I swallow the lump of hurt in my throat and stand up as I see his wallet left on table.

Oh lord!

This is why I can't keep grudges with my old men , they are aging and they need my love and support and care .

I let go of my quarells of why dad didn't talk in front of me and why he looked tensed or how he never apologized and shake my head.

Like always dad forgot something of his on the table , he never leaves without forgetting something .

I smile and silently forgive my one and only family left and take the wallet and rush out.

"Dad - wait"

I pace up my feet even though getting my periods in the morning makes sure that my legs burns as I run , I see dad in distance and call out to stop him "Dad , you're leaving without your wallet-"

"Don't call like a fucking maniac! I will use her as my trump card but not to my biggest enemy !it will be my defeat!"

As I reach the lawn door , I hear dad on phone and freeze.

Is he in some trouble? What is he saying?

Do I go and give him the wallet and wait for him to hang the call and then ask him?

Yes...

As I'm about to step forward, he speaks something that plasters my feet on floor "Well !

We are not stupid to attack Mafia's like them directly!"
