Falling For The Man I Married

Chapter 72: Surviving the pain

The moment I walked through the huge black wooden door, I saw my Dad almost running down the stairs just to come with me.

"Maiden! My baby!"

Tears flow down my eyes as soon as I felt his embrace. Then I realized, I can never be mad at this man who had a great contribution to who I have become right now.

He's crying when he pulled back, even his wife, Chesca who was standing behind him. She's been a good wife to him and still accepted him despite what he did. 

"Daddy..." 

I hugged him again. I missed him. I missed him so much. I wish I had him beside me during those cruel times. But it's in the past, at least we still have time to be with each other.

"How are you, Maiden?" he wiped my tears using the hem of his shirt.

"Daddy?"

"Dad?"

"Honey?"

Bryan, Chesca and I, all protested in unison, but it's too late. He already wiped my tears. Who will use the hem of his shirt to wipe the tears of his daughter at the age of twenty-six? Well, only my Dad, and I felt like a seven-year-old again.

"What? I just wiped my baby's tears." He said with a shrug.

The mother and son just shook their heads, as I bit my bottom lip to control my laughter.

"Madi," Chesca also pulled me into a motherly hug and I hugged her back.

"Okay, let's go to your room, baby. Just put your things in there and let's go upstairs." he put his arm around my shoulders. "Honey, I'll show my baby her room, is it okay if we just follow to the dining room later?"

"Sure, honey."

Dad showed me my temporary room as he said, he's still renovating my room. For me, it doesn't matter where I sleep, as long as I have a bed to sleep in at night.

When we entered, I walked immediately to the large glass window of the room.

"How are you, Maiden?"

I turned around to see him sitting on the edge of the bed. 

"I'm fine, Dad."
