Episode 7
She shut her eyes tightly when the sun rays hit her closed eyes. Her head was paining like a ***** and clutched her hair in a tight fist. She grumbled, hiding her eyes behind her palms.
Shanaya Singhania (Fl)
"Pull off the curtains Reema bi" Shanaya mumbled and turned to the other side.
Remma (Fl caretaker)
"Shanaya baby, Sir is waiting for you. Wake up quickly".
Hearing that her eyes shot open, and she sat with a jerk on the bed a groan left her mouth the next second, and she held her head. She felt like someone hitting her head with a hammer.
She looked at the wall clock which was showing noon.
Shanaya Singhania (Fl)
"Is dad home?" She inquired and a nod she got in reply from Reema bi.
From the expression of Reema bi, she was aware of the consequences. A cold shiver ran through her spine and she pulled her lips into a thin line, recalling the last night's stunt she pulled.
Remma (Fl caretaker)
"I will send him in as you are awake," Reema bi said and walked out of the room.
She bit her nail in anxiety, worried about what to answer when her father would be asking about it. She knew she did wrong by not informing her father and ditching her bodyguards was the biggest mistake. Furthermore, she was thinking about some ways to tell her father when Rajeev entered her room.
Rajeev Singhania (Fl father)
"Princess, you are awake?" He asked as he strolled towards her bed and sat across from her.
Shanaya Singhania (Fl)
"Dad" she was unable to form a word, her chin wobbled and gulped the lump forming in her throat.
Rajeev Singhania (Fl father)
"How are you feeling now? Is your fever gone now?" He asked, checking her forehead with the back of his hand. That's when she acknowledged she also had a fever.
Shanaya Singhania (Fl)
"I am fine" she mumbled and hugged him, hiding her face on his chest overwhelmed with the care of a father for his daughter, and she sobbed on his chest.
Rajeev Singhania (Fl father)
"Are you alright? Do you want something?" Rajeev asked, his voice was gentle, and his concern was written all over his face, slowly caressing her head.
Shanaya Singhania (Fl)
"No" she whispered and shook her head.
Shanaya Singhania (Fl)
"Dad, I... I am sorry" she said, which came out as a small whisper, and she looked down.
She was embarrassed at herself for being reckless when she knew she couldn't go out alone. What if something happened to her? Or what if her panic attack worsened if that person didn't help her in the meantime? That person, she couldn't see his face. 'Who was he?' Her thoughts are interrupted by Rajeev's voice.
Rajeev Singhania (Fl father)
"You scared me to death princess? What if something...?" He swallowed the lump, unable to complete his sentence.
The mere thought someone would hurt her squeeze his heart.
Rajeev Singhania (Fl father)
"Your safety is more important to me than anything. You got locked in that storeroom and got your panic attack. You knew no one can console you in your panic situation except me" he said and heard her sobbing whisper "I am sorry"
Rajeev Singhania (Fl father)
"Please princess, don't cry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was worried about you" he said immediately, wiping her tears.
Shanaya Singhania (Fl)
"I know dad. And I promise I won't repeat it. I won't go out without guards and I will never lie to you. I am sorry dad" she mumbled, holding her ears like a kid.
Her eyes and nose were red. She was on the verge of crying.
Rajeev Singhania (Fl father)
He smiled and stroked her head "that's fine. If you are feeling better than come downstairs for breakfast. I will cook for you" he announced, getting up from the bed, and she frowned looking at the time.
Shanaya Singhania (Fl)
"You haven't had your breakfast yet?" She asked.
Rajeev Singhania (Fl father)
"How can I eat without you? Remember, I told you to eat with me" he said, and she couldn't help smiling, nodding her head
Indeed she got the best father in the world. She walked inside the bathroom when Rajeev went to the kitchen to cook breakfast. She did her morning chores and came out of the washroom wearing her comfy pajamas and went downstairs for breakfast.
Rajeev Singhania (Fl father)
"Here you go," Rajeev said, placing the plate in front of her and filling the juice in her glass.
The duo of father and daughter were having their breakfast with some chit-chat when he got the call from his secretary David.
Rajeev Singhania (Fl father)
He picked up the call and after hearing the person from the other side "I won't be coming today. Let's leave it for tomorrow. My daughter is not well" he said, and she stopped eating in the middle after hearing his conversation.
Rajeev Singhania (Fl father)
"Then arrange the meeting tomorrow or the other day. Shanaya is not well, and I won't leave her alone. He already cancelled the meeting before" he ordered his secretary and Shanaya felt bad because of her, he is cancelling the meeting. He hung up the call and dug into his breakfast when she spoke.
Shanaya Singhania (Fl)
"Dad, I am fine now, you can go to the meeting," she said, fidgeting with her fingers
Rajeev Singhania (Fl father)
"I will manage, princess, don't worry I will be at home the whole day" he replied while eating his food and gave her a small smile.
Shanaya Singhania (Fl)
"I will be fine if you don't delay your office work. I don't want you to leave your work for me like always. Reema bi is here to take care of me" She said and insisted her father go for the meeting.
Rajeev Singhania (Fl father)
"Okay, I will go on one condition" when he declared she nodded her head.
Rajeev Singhania (Fl father)
"You will have your medicines without any tantrums, and don't skip your meals. You always skip your meals when you are sick while I am not around. So not this time, okay?" He asked and she nodded nonetheless.
Shanaya Singhania (Fl)
"Dad, I am not a five-year-old" She whined and Rajeev chuckled at her.
Rajeev Singhania (Fl father)
"Now finish your breakfast you have to take medicines," he said and both had their breakfast.
Rajeev Singhania (Fl father)
"Okay here, have your medicine and rest well. Okay," he said, giving her medicine.
Shanaya Singhania (Fl)
She made an eww face "dad! I am fine now. These meds are so bitter" she whined like a baby
Rajeev Singhania (Fl father)
"Princess, no compromise with your health. Now come on be a good girl and take it, you promised me" he forcefully kept the medicines in her palm and she gulped down the medicines with water.
Rajeev Singhania (Fl father)
"That's like my good daughter" Rajeev cooed and smiled at her while she made a puking face. "Now go to your room and rest well okay? I will be leaving then"
