Chapter 26

  Nina's POV

  For the very first time in many years, I felt really happy. Genuinely happy is the right word to use. Daisy was doing all she could to see that smile on my face, always.

  At times when she wasn't convinced with the smile, she would ask, "Mom, are you happy?"

  I would nod and laugh.

  She was a joy to hold on to. And my baby Ellah who was beginning to call me granny. It felt strange at first because I felt I was becoming old. But after some time, I got used to it. Daisy was my daughter like we made everyone believe, so that makes Ellah my granddaughter.

  We go out almost every night, with Ellah and sometimes Nadia. Daisy wouldn't let me be with my thoughts ever since that night. She was always by my side once she came back from school. She even told Ellah that granny is unhappy and she should do all she can to make granny happy.

  I felt blessed.
