Written In My Heart.

Chapter 4:Get Ready to party/rock!

They had finished their shopping and then had some snacks. Then everyone left for home. It was

almost evening by the time they reached their homes. All of them were really tired.

Sofia entered her house and threw all the bags on the sofa and fell on other one feeling veeery tired!

She layed down closing her eyes until she heard some noises from the kitchen. She opened her eyes

and sat up right. she knew her father would come home later and would be at his Office probably.

She stood up and started walking towards the kitchen. She grabbed a vase off the table in her way.

Yeah, it might be really expensive. But if what she thought was in the kitchen. Her life would be much

more of importance for saving than a stupid-very expensive but still stupid-vase.

She went up to the Kitchen in full spy mode. She lifted her vase and jumped into the kitchen ready to

hit. But the sight in front of her stopped her as she lowered her vase and as she took a deep breath.

S:Dad..???

She said as she saw her dad making lunch with no care in the world. Obviously oblivious to his

daughter almost tearing his head. Her dad eyed the vase and looked at her. As she smiled sheepishly

and kept down the vase thinking that the stupidly expensive vase didn’t need breaking after all.!!

S:Dad.. What are you doing home.. aren’t you supposed to be at the office.

Dad: I was. But i just took a day off.!

S:Why.??? Are you ok..?? Are you sick or something..??

D:Oh no dear! I just thought to have lunch with you today. It’s your birthday tomorrow. The most

important day of my life.

S:Aww..

She smiles brightly at him as her dad pats her head lovingly.

D:See.. I made lunch.!!

He puts a plate of sandwiches in front.

S:Woww... Sandwiches.!!

D:Yes. Lets eat..

S:I’m starving..

D:You didn’t have anything at the mall.?

S:Ya we did. Some snacks. But I’ll always be hungry for sandwiches.

They went and put the sandwiches on the table. and sat beside each other.

D: So... How was the shopping?

S: soo Awesome! We bought soo many things... Jewellery, shoes and dresses. And we had so much

fun.

D: un huh.!! What did you buy for yourself.?

S: lots of things! And you know my dress. It’s soo pretty!! Like a princess!

D: really! You can show me after we eat!

S: Yes! I loved it soo much the moment I saw it. Well It was actually Ayaan who saw it first. But still,

That jer-

She bites her tongue realising what she said. Her dad didn't like name-calling so...

D: Unhun...

S: I... meant... He just annoys me a lot!

D:Maybe, You should give him a chance.

S: I don't know we just don't get along. Sometimes I even wonder how we are even friends until now!

D: Well... You do remember what you did for him right!

S (thinking for a while): Yeah... I do.

D: You know.. when your mother and I first met we hated each other!

S (smiling): You did?

Her father nodded as she chuckled and shifted closure to him directing all her attention to him. It was at

rare occasions when her father talked about her mother. and she definitely didn't want to miss a word!

She sat close as he spoke.

D: Yes. You know we used to work at the same place.

S:Yes.

D: We used to fight soo much. and even when we became friends. we used to argue about each and

every thing! Even after getting married. But you know... That's how life works. We don’t always have to

agree. We differ, we fight. but we respect each others decision. each others experience and ideas.

That's how you can always go on. It's never like you don't fight. But when you do. you should always let

the other person have a say too. You have to listen to resolve. and always try to makeup It could be

your mistake just as much as their's. You should always remember. It helped in my marriage it might

even help yours.

S: I'm sure it will. And you'll be there to give me more of these wonderful advises!

D: Maybe... But who knows. No body is permanent in this world.

S: Argh! dad C'mon!

D: I know princess ... But we must always be ready to let go! I let go of your mother too. we all have our

times limited. Nobody would last for ever! life is all about moving on and smiling through every

sadness. So we have to always be ready. and there would always be memories to guide you through

your life. No matter where they are they would always stay here... in Your heart.

S: It will be... one day... But that day is not today.

She stands up and hugs him and then drags him up to the sitting area as they sat down and unpacked

all the stuff that she bought.

After a long time of talking, looking at things she bought, cooking and finally having dinner. Here she

was finally in her room by night time right after dinner keeping her stuff in check for her to wear

tomorrow. She finally couldn't believe that it was the party day already. It was her birthday tomorrow!

She sat on the bed thinking about what her dad said.

S(P.O.V): Whatever he said today. It's not like he never mentioned it before. It's just everytime he does, This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

I just can't take it. I was very young when mama left me. But dad... he was always there. Whenever I

needed him. he took care of me just like a mother. so well that I never missed her. He read me stories

to bed, woke up before me to make breakfast and lunch. Got me ready for school dropped me off,

picked me up. made dinner. he worked soo hard juggling between job and me that he often got sick.

when i started growing up I realised how much of a trouble it was to him. Well, what I mean is I’ve

always hand him by my side, all the days, all the nights. Now I can’t even imagine my life without him.

And when ever he talk all like that. I don't know what to do. i feel like heart broken. and scared.

She wipes some of the tears that had flown out. And decided to go to sleep. She stood up as her eyes

fell on the dress as she got reminded of Ayaan. she chuckled remembering their day at the mall. she

smiled remembering what her father said thinking maybe even they could get along someday. If only

she knew it was gonna be sooner than she thought.

She sat down as she remembered the conversation she had with kiara at the mall about him.

*Flashback*

Aliza, kiara and sofia were going ahead in the mall. The boys were way behind having a conversation

of their own. sofia glanced back and say Ayaan glancing amusingly at Nick doing something as Ryan

laughed loudly. she smiled looking at them. She turned around instantly as Ayaan looked up and their

eyes met. she felt different but also a little embarrassed maybe. she breathed in and kept on going.

She suddenly had a thought. she didn't know how to resolve if so she took help from her both besties

by her side.

S: kiara, Aliza look. I... I wanted to ask something.

K: Yeah! Sure..

S:well.. I wanted to know.. if.. you know...

A: Just say it already..

S:Do you think I treat Ayaan too rudely.. ?

They both stop abruptly and look at her shockingly...

K:Wait.. Your asking.?

A:Yeah... I mean.. Are you ok

S:It’s just something he said.. That got me wondering.

A: what about!?

S: Nothing much.. I was just wondering if i’m being too mean or rude.

K(keeping her hand on her should): There's nothing like mean and rude between friends especially you

two. And you both are like the perfect-most ideal- example for it.

S: really...?

A: Yeah! exactly. And even if he said something, I’m sure it was just to tease you. You know how much

he loves to mess with you.

K: Yeah, and you should know, even if you ever did say something it's not like he'd mind.

A: Yes, he'd rather say something even more meaner.

S: so... that means I'm not a jerk like him.

A: ofcourse not...

K: I mean You both ... kind've are.. like to each other though.

S: Hey!

They all laugh as the boys come closer.

Ay: What are you girls up to?

S: None of your concern..!

Ay: As if I care!

S: As if you should!

Everyone chuckles as Sofia winks at the girls chuckling and the girls go ahead with the boys again

following them.

*Fb End*

She chuckles as she recalls his face. Even she had fun messing with him. She stood from her bed and

went to the dress now hanging on her cupboard. she felt the soft fabric and smiled. She went back and

layed on her bed as her thoughts wandered off to Ayaan. Thinking...

S(P.O.V):What could he have bought for me this time. Was it something nice. Maybe something special

like the last time. Well he has been getting me the best of present lately. Last year he got me a bracelet

with a craving of my name. And before that he got me a heart picture pendant. But the best part was

that he had gone as far to get both my parents pictures in it too. That is still the best of all. I always

wear it. And the year before that he got me a show piece of swan making a heart in a beautiful lake.

That was one of my favourite scene from a Disney movie. I was just ecstatic to have it in front of me!

So.. I'm pretty sure you got the understanding of it right. they are always the best. And I guess I'm a lot

excited about what he’ll bring now. I guess I’ll find out tomorrow.

She closes her eyes as she drifts into deep slumber while thinking about it all...!
