DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL
Daddy's Little Girl - Episode 13
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"I overheard Mom saying she didn't want to be part of this family anymore. I actually eavesdrop just this one time, she was talking to herself as she cries and begged God to protect Marvel wherever she was..."
"...I heard Mom saying she håtés you for causing her so much påin, húrting her special little baby..I guess she's refering to Marvel. She kept saying if God can help her find Marvel, she will take her faraway from us, where she will be loved and safe. Mom also said tha..."
"That's enough Zena, I thought you've some ideas, information on how we can find Marvel. I told you that you shouldn't listen to adults conversation, that's very wrong thing to do.."
"you promised not to be angry with me. Mom was sad and saying lots of things, I couldn't help but hear everything she said. Is Mom going to leave us, is it true she håtes us and doesn't want to be my Mom anymore.."
"Your Mom doesn't hate anyone. She was only ângry because Marvel is missing and she can't find her. I'm also worried sick. We value family because family is important. Mommy is not leaving us, she loves you dearly, she's only angry with me because I was a mean bully at some point in time and I deserves to be blamed for everything..."
"...I shouldn't have left Marvel alone with you and Hilda. If I had stayed and watched over her like I promised your Mom, all of this wouldn't be happening..."
"I was also mean to Marvel, Mom blame me too right? I don't want her to leave us, I love my mommy is just that she doesn't treat me so special like you do. She usually tells you to treat Marvel dearly like you're treating me. But I don't want to share you with anyone. Especially not Marvel... Mom already takes good care of her, except that she's no longer here with us..."
I thought I was finally getting to Zena but I can see my word isn't hitting the right spot in her heart.
I stood from where I sat and walked to the living room window.
My heart was heavy and sadness nestled heavily in my chest
It's useless having this conversation, Zena might not understand the gravity of this whole case.
I feel so weak and tired
My eyes were clouded with tears as I stood looking out of the window
If somebody had told me that things will get this bad in my home, I wouldn't have believed it.
If I had foreseen this day, I would've done everything within my power to avoid it from happening.
"God! Please have mercy on me. Keep my daughter safe wherever she maybe out there, I don't want to believe she's dëād like everything around me says..."
"Daddy..." Zena suddenly startled me.
"Not now Zena. I really want to be alone. Go and watch TV or play...i don't want to be disturbed..."
She stepped back
I didn't bother looking as I remained still by the window
I shüt my eyes and imagine my daughter Marvel laughing and eating her ice-cream
"...There's a tiny hope inside me that Marvel is still alive somewhere, this is my believe please don't squash my little faith.."
I sniffed back my sudden running nose
"...Surround my wife with your angels, I can't afford to lose her. Mend what's broken in our lives and restore my home...
"Daddy..." I heard Zena called but I ignored her.
"I want my family whole, together as one again. Please don't punish me because of my ignorant mistakes. I deeply regrets it...If you can do this for me...I will forever be gratef...
"Dad .." Zena tapped me hard.
I had to blink back tears to face her fully
"What's the problem Zena? I need you to listen whenever I tell you to do something. I asked to be left alone and didn't want any sort of disturbance.."
I paused and took a long breath
"...What do you want?
"I'm hungry. You made me eat cereal in the morning, snacks towards noon, I'm hungry for real food. Can you come and cook something since Mom is not here..."
I sigh loudly
"Go tell your brother, there's food in the fridge. He will microwave something for you to eat or make noodles. Please, don't come disturbing again..."
She didn't move as she kept insisting she wanted me to come prepare something for her
I have Indeed baby sit her far too long. It's time to teach her to be able to do basic things by herself
To atleast understand she's not more special than others.
I called Jonah who was in his room playing a game
I instructed him on what to do before leaving with my car key
My Mom's call came in as I was stepping out
I already know why she was calling
Ever since Edna called them and reported me that I was behind Marvel's disappearance, my Mom has been calling nonstop.
She wanted me to drive down to come see them but I have told her that I have a whole lot of trouble going on in my life, i don't need anybody reminding me.
It's a very long distance and I won't be able to come back the same day.
I don't have the time to do that.
Edna has been in the hospital for about three days.
Her life hangs on the balance
If Marvel isn't found, I'm scared of what will become of her.
Julie, Marvel's nanny is no longer coming ever since she learnt about Marvel.
I had to take emergency leave from work
I'm running around because of Marvel's case and also here looking after Jonah and Zena.
My Mom insisted that I come see her, I told her that I will but not so soon
Let me sort out my life a little bit
I don't know why my Mom won't understand my current situation and quit with the calls.
I ignored the call and started leaving.
Zena was throwing tantrums as she saw me leaving, I ignored her.
Once she's alone with Jonah she will have to behave well because Jonah doesn't have the patience to attend to her every need
He will only do what I asked him to do and leave the rest to her
As I was heading to my car, my phone rang again, I checked the caller and it was from the police inspector
My heart beat began to race, the IG of police has been sending his boys around the location and promising to give feedback but I haven't gotten any positive feedback ever since
Seeing his call now gets me scared and hopeful at the same time
because I don't know what to expect.
I picked up he immediately began to speak
"Mr Samson, this maybe a case of kidnapping.."
"Kidnapping? What... how? I said confusedly aloud.
This is getting more complicated.
