TRAGEDY

She hushed inside the apartment and I was left alone as ever. Everything was getting clear with the passage of time. Jennet knew more than she just told me today. Mary did not know everything. But Ryan Ash knows everything. My next step will be to face him. This night was very hard for me. I could not claim my own daughter. Someone else was protecting her when I should be doing that for her.

Someone else was waking up for my baby girl when I should be there for her. I was repenting like hell. I was shaking with love for my baby girl all the night.

He was sitting before me with his head fixed at the laptop screen. He did not lift his head until I said:

"Bothering you again I know…"

I was wearing skin colored coat on black shirt and blue jeans and pink lipstick after many years. His eyeball traced me from head to my high heels. He smiled but that smile faded away in seconds when he traced me back from toe to head and looked straight into my eyes.

"What is the sense of bothering when you know that you are."

"I am sorry Ryan Ash."

"For what? Where shall I place your sorry in my whole history of life? I can see many events where you needed to be sorry."

His voice was too strong and masculine. I was not used to louder voices. I always feel my heart crashing down to pieces when someone yells at me. I blinked away tears and decided to fight back this time. I had to face him for Anaya.

"I don't understand what you are talking about Ryan Ash."

"Don't pretend to be innocent."

"What have I done. Just tell me?"

"you have destroyed me and my daughter. You have ruined my daughter."

"What have I done to her?"

"Haven't I promised you and Anaya that I would take you people for ice cream. You took her with you and left her unsafe. You are responsible for her accident. I wish you would have trusted me. I wish.........."

"I have met her."

After a short span of silence he broke out:

"you are here because of me. I wanted you to know that what you have done to my family. I wanted you to know that what you have done to us. So that you would repent on what you have done. It was enough for me to see you happy with my own brother. I was overwhelmed with your fake love drama with me in past years. So I decided and made it. You will repent forever Misses Ash."

I knew nothing so I just turned when one question hit my head hard that I could not stop asking:

"Why Anaya is not recognizing me?"

"You are responsible."

"How the hell I am?"

"She has memory loss. A complete memory loss. She did not recognize me either."

I got deficiency of breath as if my lungs had forgotten to work. The pain cracked from my backbone to the head. Tears never stopped falling. This was the first moment in my life when I did not control myself. I lost my conscious state and I fell on the floor of his office. Before closing my eyes I prayed that I may not live another day because nothing was left for me. No daughter is equal to no life.

"This nervous attack could be serious enough to take her life. You need to take care of her. And yes....it seems to me that she had passed through comma and nervous breakdown before too. So deal the patient with care."

"Okay doctor. I will."

I heard the sound of door though it was opened carefully. He stepped inside and I peeped through the blanket. He was sitting next to me now with his body facing the wall.

"why have you married my brother Ash? Why have you not waited for me to come back? I was angry with you when I saw my daughter could not recognize me. I was terrified to see my daughter in agony. I left my daughter with Jennet and I left for a month to Turkey because I had nothing left. I did not know where you were and how you were but I flew away because I could not help to hate myself for hating you. I came back after a month because I missed my daughter. I took her with me to Turkey and we enjoyed there for a year or a half. Then she got cold one day and after that particular day she used to scream in pain at every night then I thought I must forgive you for my own child. I came back again in order to get you back but your father and mother blocked my way and said that you have married Peter Ash. Yes! Peter Ash! The man you always admired for being an actor. Peter won the bet. I thought you won't let him to win the bet but you did. He told me that he will marry you soon and he did. You never hindered him. I planned at that day when I came to know about your husband that I will have a wife. When you can break the vow I can break it too. And you know what I made that too...…"
