CAGED

Chapter -14

"The truth no matter how hard it is to bear, must be accepted and confronted head on because it is real." ~ Germany Ken.

Aiyana P.O.V

I can hear someone was giggling. Ever so slowly I turned around and watch Little duck holding is mouth to stop his laugh and standing there with his toy gun. Watching me pale he was laughing so hard.

"You...your face ursula." He gasped laughing hard.

I was stunned looking at him, this little duck tricked me. And here I was freaking out. Thank God It was not him, just thinking about them a shiver ran down my nerves.

Slowly I smiled watching him laugh, how carefree he was looking, I pray he always smile like this.

" You little munchkin you tricked me." I glare at him but my face broke into smile.

But then I remember  he again called me ursula. "Do I look like octopus to you." I glared at him again.

He laughed throwing his head back.

"Nooo....Nooo I don't know your name." He told me continuously laughing.

"It's Aiyana..." I told him.

"Yayyyyy.....Ay.....nana..." He tried saying my name.

"Nooo not nana.....It's AIYANA." I amusedly told him.

"Can I call you Ana." He asked me.

I flinch hearing that name again from another person mouth. The name which is long gone from my soul. The name which continuously haunt my  my dream. The name which held the power to give me attack. My face held no longer colour. I was gasping for breathe.

"Sor....ry.....I..am....am...so...sorry. Please don't get angry. I won't call you that." I snapped out of my thought watching him with tears in his eyes.

"Nooo baby I am not angry at you." I assure him.

"Then why did you look angry." He question me.

I just shrugged my shoulder. "I was not angry....okay."

"Then can I call you Ana." He asked me again.

With lot f courage and watching the innocent  smile on his way. I nodd at him.

He suddenly hugged my legs."I missed you."

I freeze, the time stop my heart was beating so loudly, apart from Maa I can slowly see my another weakness growing towards my heart. I know he will soon blossom In me. The feeling which I have buried five year ago thinking I won't ever feel today here I am going back towards my word.

"I missed you too little Duck." I hugged him back.

"Tell me how come you are here." I asked him combing his hair with my hand.

"I always came here to play." He told me while holding my hands.

"I also come here always but I didn't see you." I told him holding his hand and walking towards the kids side.

"Daddy was angry with me. And I was sad too that why I cannot come." He ever so slowly told me.

"Well you are a good boy. No one will be angry with you more than two minute." I assure him.

"Yess daddy said He loved me."He smile showing me his teeth.

I just nodd at him and walked around the park.

"Do you have mommy." He asked me.

I suddenly stopped moving. I was numb. I was watching him horrified. My eyes feel like It will pop out any minute.

"I don't have mommy. My friend they all have mommy. They always talk about how their mommy love them, how their make them breakfast, play with them but I don't have it. I also want mommy but Daddy won't tell me where is she. He always get angry whenever I asked him. They alway teased me that I was being bad that why mommy left me." He babbled non stop.

If asking me where Is my mommy I feel stunned but after knowing that he was raise by a single parent my heart died. I know how that feel without mother love. Watching everyone bonding with their mother. Playing, eating growing up. I looked at him with heavy eyes.  Can I faced this boy now. I slowly kneel down facing him holding his shoulder.

"I....I...also don...don't have mommy." I choked In my words.

I was trying hard not to cry but I didn't  notice when a tear felt from my eyes.

"Don't cry.." He wiped my tears withbhis tiny little palm.

I just nodd my head and hugged him silently sobbing. After five year I am showing my emotion how I got betrayed by the perosn who gave live to me. I was crying for that girl who used to listen fairy tale from her mother. The mother who always she thought will protect her.

I wipped my tears as fast as I can. And told him. "Don't worry we have each other....we will rock together." I started tickling him. He was running around the play ground and I was chasing him.

His laughter boomed in the play ground. I felt full playing with him my all stress go away.

"Come sit In this swing." I told him.

He ran and sit down on it asking me too push him.

"High." He told me.

I pushed high but not that high from where he could hurt. He was screaming and laughing. I can tell he was enjoying himself.

"Higher Ana....Higher..." I stiffened listening to that name. But not from horror but for the first time my heart did not beat from fear. For the first time I was not feel like throwing up. I was clam. The calmness I always try to find I felt It here with him..

"Higher Ana....Higher....." He roar with laughter booming around the play ground.

At last this little monster felt tired so we have to stopped playing. We were just laying around the lake watching the duck and asking silly questions from each other but he suddenly asked me a question out of nowhere."Will you come on my birthday this sunday."

I gaped at him. What should I say. I don't even know his father and here he Is inviting me to his birthday. What would his family think. What should I answer him. How can I say Nooo..

"Ana...Ana....." He touched my shoulder.

I just watch him with big eyes. How can I say Nooo.....Oh God....

"Will you come Ana....We don't celebrate much of my birthday there will just me and grandpa and grandma." He told me In small voice.

I got curious listening to that...

"Why..... don't your daddy throw you a birthday party." I asked him.

"Daddy don't celebrate my birthday. He always got busy that day." He whisper.

Without thinking any more I told him. "Don't worry I will be their."

"Promise." He show me his pinky finger.

I laugh at him "Promise." I hug his pinky with mine.
