chapter 3

" hmmm that's a good idea but no dear, I won't race with you again."

he was quit suprised at her quick rejection cause he was rejected by a stranger for the first time.

"Well it's my first time meeting a racer capable of matching my speed so I'm just curious to know this incredible racer so we can exchange some notes."

He really thinks I'm stupid to expose my identity because of this sh**** reason, don't underestimate me so much,

"Ha, nice way of saying 'I want to defeat you' but sorry to let you down, It's still a big no."

He chuckled and replied

" you got me, well you can atleast tell me your name for my pure honesty, milady."

"nice try but again no, I don't like strangers." there was slight impatience in xi yan's voice and ignoring that he again spoke cheekily,

"but if you tell me your name we won't be strangers anymore."

now he was getting on xi yan's nerves so she said

" poor you, I hate telling people about myself even more."

saying this xi yan was ready to blast of but that man stopped her by saying,

" Miss you seem from a well of background and so am I if you agree to a match with me I will also tell you my identity as well and believe me who ever knows me, Has never ever suffered any loss."

hearing his narcissism xi yan burst into laughter and whipping a tear at the corner of her eye she said,

"You sure think too highly of your self. You know what, people who aren't my family or friends and still keep pestering me always end up miserably, but it's after a long while that I had a hearty laugh so I will forgive you this once and I won't promise a match to you but if we are to meet again and you still want a match try persuading me, I might give it a thought."

hearing her he was at loss of words, he had never met such an abnormally boast full character other than himself. And befor he could speak her car had disappeared leaving a dusty trail behind .

at this moment his phone rang with a siren as ringtone, yes it was a special ringtone he had set for his grandpa, while massaging his temples he picked up the call and said

" yo grandfather, what happened? how did you suddenly remember your grandson after kicking him out of house."

"Lin Feng! what do you mean by talking to me with that tone I am your elder talk to me with respect."

"Fine, so cutting the chase grandfather why did you call me ?"

"Why else would I call you? I want to know about your blind date, and believe me if this time you dared to scare her away with any of your stupid tricks you don't need to show me your face for rest of my life or even better I might just get you engaged to one of my friends grand daughter."

"Look grandfather I didn't do anything I even took out her to a long drive but she didn't seem interested and fell asleep on the way." he said with a very milky and obedient voice with grin on his face as he looked at seemingly lifeless body fainted in his passenger seat.

"You think I don't know you stupid feng, you pretending in front of me won't work, you can just wait to get engaged now you have lost my faith in you."

hearing to old mr. Lin he felt as if he had done some great sin and let down his whole 18 generation of family.

" We will have to see about that grandfather and if nothing else I will hang up first." and saying this without further adou he hung up and called his assistant xing cheng and he picked up in a blink and replied in a professional voice

"Yes boss!"

"Take this women away from me."

and I'll be going to Star dust tomorrow for half yearly inspection so to tell them to be prepared."

"I will get it done right now president."

.....

After leaving from the hill xi yan was on her way but decided to stop by a bridge.

While sitting inside the car staring the moon out of the window suddenly xi yan saw a tiny little girl walking with her parents happily eating her ice cream.

Xi yan thought mockingly, parent's love it's just a joke one day when you lose your importance even they might abandon you, just like her parents did.'

soon those pictures of past started running in front of my eyes.

My family was quite normal at first, although I don't know how my father looked or what exactly happened back then but I can be sure that, my parents used to dote on me, they loved me like a treasure.

Then everything changed when I turned four, my parents were rarely home and then my father didn't come home for days.

I kept asking my mother when he would come but she never gave me a confirmed answer.

after a week probably we went to A city hill and there I saw my father for last time.

When I saw him I was so happy I ran into his arms like I always did but he avoided me, and didn't even look at me. He coldly told my mother to go back and he'll be leaving and not to wait for him cause he won't be coming back.

My mother sent me to car and started arguing with him, all I could see was my mother crying and probably asking him not to leave us alone. my mother pointed towards me and said something and that man raised his head for the first time while arguing with my mother, he looked at me for the last time and turned his back to us forever and left that place immediately.

my mother plopped down there crying while looking at his retreating back.

returning back home I kept asking her why did that man not return with us or when he'll come but she had no answer to that so she just hugged me and her warm tears fell on me and I realised, only her and me were left for each other.

After that my mother never felt the same again she kept losing herself day by day. She kept forgetting things and making blunders.

Soon she discarded everything thing related to my father.

And as if to get revenge on my father, my mother confined my life to a basement and even more funny thing is that I used to think that my mother made a special space for me and her, full of sunshine and happiness even though I was not allowed to step out of that room.

Even though I was happy living there, my mother would come there every night and open my favourite juice for me it was like our ritual. I would drink the juice and my mother would later sing me to sleep it was our only conversation through the day.

I was silly to still think that my mother cared for me. I believed It was just that she was too busy with her job so she could not spend the day with me. But soon my happy bubble burst.

It was only when my mother went missing and she didn't even come at night. I waited and waited for my mother to come for days but she never came. I cried and shouted for my mother relentlessly but I was just a four year old kid and it broke me down completely thinking that my mother didn't want me as well just like how father left she would also leave me, but than I thought maybe something happened to her and couldn't not come to me and I cried and prayed for my mother whole night. I don't remember when but I realised that I had to stay alive and wait for mother to come back.

And so i bath myself, dressed myself, fed myself and waited for the whole day looking at the bright sun sparking on the last night's snow through the window it grew dark soon and the moon came out but my mother still didn't come.

Being unable to hold my tears I cried myself to sleep. I lost count how many days I had been waiting for my so called mother but I had ran out of food stock in my room I was nearly starved.

It was not that I didn't try to go out searching for my mother but the door can only be opened from out side and mom used to leave after I fell asleep so I didn't know how to open it.

So I decided to break the window to go out as it seemed like the only option left, I tried breaking it by climbing the chair and with my desk lamp in my tiny hands.

I swung it with all my might
