Father And His Daughter

Crish hurriedly helped the girl to get up while cleaning her clothes from the dust.

“Sorry, Uncle. I didn’t do it on purpose,” Key said, looking down.

“Hey, it’s not your fault, I also walked in a hurry earlier,” said Crish while grabbing Key’s tiny hand to calm him down.

Crish’s eyes couldn’t stop staring at Key’s beautiful face, the girl’s beady eyes were so charming, her delicate little hands, her slightly blonde ponytail, and her smile so sweet that Crish couldn’t take his eyes off her.

“Maybe this is how it would feel if I had a daughter,” said Crish to himself.

He has been married for 3 years, but his wife has not yet been blessed with children. Even though Crish wanted the presence of a baby in his little family. Not only because he felt lonely at home, but Crish also thought that if he had a child then that child would be the sole heir to his father-in-law’s fortune because his wife was the only child. And today, for the first time, Crish was made to fall in love with a little girl.

“Keys, what’s wrong?” asked the nanny who had just come over.

“I accidentally bumped into that uncle,” said Key.

“I’m sorry, sir. Key must be accidental,” said Key’s nanny, bowing.

“It doesn’t matter, it’s not her fault,” Crish said.

“Thank you, sir. Come on, Keys. Let’s go in, the event will start soon, “invited the nanny.

“Bye, Uncle, I’ll go first,” Key smiled sweetly while waving his little hand.

“Bye, Key,” Crish replied, smiling too.

“Key, her name is Key. A name as beautiful as her face.” Crish muttered to himself. He didn’t even realize who Key was.

“Gosh, because of that child, I forgot what I came here for,” Crish sighed, forgetting about the clear-eyed girl because her original purpose of coming here was to thwart her father’s wedding.

Crish looked for his father here and there among the crowd of people, there weren’t too many guests, whether they were all his father’s colleagues or the woman’s family, Crish didn’t want to know. The most important thing now is to find where his father is, then force him to come home. If not, then he would destroy the entire contents of this room.

The boy still hasn’t found the father, while the event has started. But suddenly his eyes caught something that caught his attention. From inside one of the rooms, Camellia had just come out wearing a white wedding dress. Without thinking further, Crish immediately approached Camellia. If not the father, then the woman he will force to step down.

Camellia greeted Crish with a victorious smile, “Hi, stepdaughter. I thought you wouldn’t come to me and your dad’s wedding, but you’re a good kid and...”

Camellia finished talking, Crish had finished, “Don’t talk too much, I came here not to witness your wedding, but to speed it up. Now tell me where is my daddy?”

“Calm down, honey. Don’t get angry like that to your future mother, that’s not good.” Camellia instead teased him with a free smile. This managed to make Crish even more emotional.

“Don’t be so dramatic, say it quickly or I’ll destroy the entire contents of this room! Don’t test my patience!” Kris snapped.

“So you have the nerve to threaten me now? Fine, I’ll return the threat. Do you think I’m still the old Camellia? Hey, of course not. I am no longer a woman who begs you to be pitied, a woman who cries hysterically because you left me. No, now I’m a strong, intelligent woman, and can do whatever I want,” Camellia snapped back. Luckily, there were no people around the hall because the guests were in the main room watching the event take place.

Camellia took out her cell phone from her small bag, then opened a file stored neatly in the cell phone.

“Now you see this file, read carefully what is written in it,” Camellia showed the file before Crish’s eyes.

At the top of the file was written “DNA Test Results” complete with the name and address of the hospital. Crish had not finished reading, Camellia had already closed her cell phone.

“These are the results of your DNA test as well as your child’s, and it says here that the results are 95% matched. Don’t ask how I can do all this, I have told you that now I am a smart woman, “said Camellia.

Crish was speechless because he thought Camellia’s DNA test results were just threats. But it turns out that all of that existed and had been prepared by Camellia.

“Why? You didn’t think you could do all of this? It’s not much, Crish. I can do more than this,” Camellia said without the slightest fear.

The bride-to-be again opened her cell phone, this time she looked for someone’s number, then called her. Not long after, someone’s voice came from the other side of the phone.

“Hello, who is this?” said the girl.

Crish was wide-eyed, he knew exactly who the owner of that voice was.

“You must know who the girl I called is, right? Yes, exactly. This woman is Olivia Jensen, your beloved wife. I can say everything now, then send the proof to your wife,” whispered Camellia with a haughty smile.

Crish’s hands clenched violently, and his chest was blazing with anger, this was the first time he felt like he was being toyed with by a woman, but Crish really couldn’t move. On the one mind, Crish remembered his mother who was waiting for good news from him while crying hysterically at home, but on the other hand, he wasn’t ready to lose everything. Position, wealth, beautiful wife, luxurious facilities, and all that he is currently enjoying.

“Hello, who is this? What’s wrong with you?” Olivia asked again because she had not heard any answer.

Camellia prepared to speak, but she purposely slowed down time to see Crish’s response.

“Turn off the phone now, don’t say anything,” Crish said in a whisper while trying to snatch the phone from Camellia’s hand. But the girl was nimble enough to avoid. Camellia hastily hung up the phone because her opponent had indirectly admitted defeat.

Crish’s breathing sounded irregular because he was holding back anger, then his hand gripped Camellia’s arm so hard, he brought his face closer to the woman’s.

“Don’t play games with me if you don’t want to regret it,” said Crish, sharply.

“I am not afraid! The fumes of your greedy nature are still lingering,” Camellia sneered.

Crish almost threw a punch at Camellia, but before it could happen Key came calling.

“Mommy,” called the little boy.

Crish gasped, he felt familiar with that voice. Camellia took the opportunity to escape from Crish’s grip, her expression immediately brightening. Even though in his heart he was grumbling because from the start he had intended never to bring Key together with his real father even once.

“Hello dear. What’s going on here?” asked Camellia while grabbing her daughter’s tiny hand.

The man in front of her stood frozen with wide eyes when he saw the face of the girl who was called Camellia Mommy, Key. The little girl that he met in front of the lobby earlier, the beautiful girl who managed to make him fall in love.

“Mommy, Daddy Ricard told you to come over there, he said Mommy would be going up to the Altar soon. Does that mean I’ll be walking down the altar with Mommy and Daddy?” Key asked with eyes sparkling with pleasure.

Camellia’s heart was beating fast, this was Key’s first time meeting Crish in person and it felt so awkward, she didn’t know what to do.

“This is the uncle who was in front, right?” point key.

Camellia was shocked to death because she didn’t think that her daughter had met Crish before and so was Crish who was still frozen because he couldn’t believe that this beautiful girl was his son.
