35. The Notebook

Alizeh’s POV



"It's the Notebook movie quote" I heard a low murmur beside me.

I quickly turned and pulled out the sheets from Kiara. She was holding a tab under the sheets while her eyes were on me.

"You are still awake?" I looked at her. She nodded at me.

"I was reading a book" She mumbled.

I took the tablet from her hand.

"Kiara, it's too late"

I shuffled to her side.

"Where is Dadda? He didn't meet me today"

Her eyes stilled at me. I coughed suppressing my sob.

Her words made me speechless.

How can I answer her when I haven't found it yet?

He was there. He didn't meet her. Is it because of the spat between us?

Sometimes this little girl makes me feel speechless.

I noticed her holding the tab don’t know when she took that.

"Well, Keep that tab. Don't know what kind of books you read!"

I tried to get the tab from her hands but she pulled it back.

"It's the notebook"

She pouted.

"It's Ipad"

I corrected her.
