Angie is the first child in my life whom I liked. She is different from other kids, I don’t know in what ways but I like her and she can have only my name as her Daddy behind her name.
I am smiling thinking about how she was hugging me thinking that I was her teddy I loved and I will be her teddy for the rest of our life. I can’t think of anything apart from Nancy.
Nancy’s POV
I woke up and I was feeling so fresh today. I don’t know why but today my teddy was very warm and I loved hugging him and sleeping.
I went downstairs after my daily routine and I was surprised to see Malcolm already waiting for me with a fresh flower bouquet in his hands.
I smiled and asked him “hey! Malcolm, good morning”
Malcolm replied while giving the bouquet to me “Good morning Nancy, I wanted to discuss something so came early in the morning”
I accepted the bouquet and said “please join me for breakfast, we can discuss on the dining table”
We both headed to the dining room and breakfast was served. Angie and Riya were still sleeping.
Malcolm said while sipping his coffee “Nancy I was thinking that we should announce our engagement date”
I choked for a moment, I don’t know why I am not able to accept all this. I was the person who agreed to marry Malcolm but my heart is still not ready.
I nodded to Malcolm half heartedly and Malcolm was so happy. His happiness was visible on his face. He said “can we do it next Wednesday ” I again forced myself and agreed, but I was thinking it’s just after three days after Mr. Johnson’s marriage and I snapped to myself that’s why I was thinking about him.
Kara had sent me her wedding invitations and I decided to go with Malcolm and invite them to my engagement which is just after three days of their marriage.
It’s too much for me to digest today is Saturday, tomorrow is Sunday and Kara’s marriage and then my engagement. Malcolm played with Angie for some time when she woke up and left.
Author’s POV
Owen was working in his office when Zack entered his office after knocking and his facial expressions were telling that something had happened.
Owen looked at him and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Zack knew that Owen had feelings for Nancy he said in some hesitation “Boss I would suggest you look at the news”
Owen didn’t ask him anything further and switched on the TV, which was on the front wall. The TV was covering half of the wall.
Looking at the news he felt like he would burn the whole city and the news was “Mr. Malcolm white finally got engaged on Wednesday to the love of his life Nancy Jones” and their pictures were everywhere.
Owen was so angry that he started throwing things off his office and he was mumbling to himself “I told you, you are mine. I told you, you will regret it, Nancy”
He left the office in rage and was heading towards the lift when his phone started ringing. He picked up the call and said in an annoyed tone “Yes! Dad”
His Dad replied, “son you didn’t come to meet me after I got discharged from hospital, why don’t you join me for lunch today?”
Owen replied, “Dad I am a little busy today…can you”
Mr. Johnson cut him off saying “Owen from tomorrow you will be married and you will start a new life can’t you spend some time with your old Dad”
Owen knows that his Dad was trying to pull him in his emotional drama trap but still he didn’t want to upset him and said “Ok Dad, please no more emotional drama I am on my way”
Mr. Johnson smiled and said “love you son” and hung up the call.
Owen asked the driver to go to his Dad’s place. Generally, he will be busy doing his work while driving but today he was just watching outside the window.
He felt like his mind was not stable.
In some time he reached his Dad’s place.
Owen’s POV
I was entering the hallway when I heard my Dad laughing and I also heard a child’s voice. I was surprised at the view in front of me, and in the second moment, I felt the warmth of the scene. All my anger subsided in a moment.
I saw Nancy, Angie, and my dad playing Jenga, and my dear poor Angie she was not able to pull out the wooden blocks without falling off the whole structure.
I went to the sofa and sat next to Angie and said: “I will play on behalf of my little angel” and at that moment everyone noticed me and I can say that Nancy was shocked to see me here. But Angie jumped in happiness and sat on my legs hugging me and said “now I will my, with nice uncle”
This feeling was very new to me but I loved it.
Nancy’s and my eyes were blocked with each other for a moment. Dad interrupted saying “Nancy! See this is my son Owen Johnson I was talking about and Owen this is Nancy and her daughter Angie and also my little friend”
I was surprised to know that my Dad already knows Nancy and they are behaving so close like father and daughter.
Nancy smiled forcefully and nodded. I was sure she didn’t want Dad to know that we already know each other so I also just smiled at her.
After playing for some time I and Angie won all the games and throughout the games only I was able to see Nancy’s genuine smile for some time and believe me I can put the world upside down just to see that smile.
It’s very rare that Nancy smiles or laughs, she maintains a formal smile on her face which is just for the outside world but her genuine smile is breathtaking and I want to see that smile on her face every day and every moment.
