Her Mysterious Lover

Falak’s POV

.

“My father?” I asked to confirm that I heard him right. On which he nodded his head and walked toward me, taking baby steps. I didn’t realize I was crying until his thumb wiped my tears. “My dad?” I asked again like a stupid, I hoped he wouldn’t get mad for asking the same thing again, but the smile didn’t appear on his lips.

“Aarvik Singh Rathore?” I asked again as he nodded his head and grinned. My heart was pounding loudly in my ribcage because of happiness, but my mind was in alert mode. If he was indeed my father, then he would surely answer all my questions with patience, right? “Can you please show me some ID?” I asked. I knew I was taking too much precaution, but you couldn’t blame me for that, couldn’t you? I looked at the face of the person who had introduced himself on his face; he was not at all angry with my investigation.

In fact, he took out his wallet from his pocket and showed me his three national Id cards, and fourth was the Id card of his workplace.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

He was in the Indian Army. Not only that, he was just some Aarvik Singh Rathore but General Aarvik Singh Rathore. And I was interrogating him like a thief or something.

I wondered why do I always end up embarrassing myself?

“I… I’m sorry.”, I apologized, giving him all his IDs back.

“That’s fine.”, He gave me a warm smile. “Even I don’t trust anyone easily. So, I didn’t mind if my princess took something from me.”, He said, caressing my cheek.

Princess? I always wanted my father to call me that!

Just like others, fathers used to call their daughter.

“D. dad?” I asked like a stupid again and grinned, trying to control my tears, and couldn’t explain my happiness when he nodded again with his teary eyes. After that, I wasted no time in hugging him.

“Mera bachha! (My child)”, He whispered and kissed my hair. My breath became uneven unknowingly.

Breath In, Breath Out.

Breath In, Breath Out.

I felt a strange kind of comfort and protection in his arms. My heart rejoiced in happiness when I felt his felt my t-shirt getting wet because of his tears. I had read somewhere that tears don’t lie; they’re the most honest form of expression.

I was in no mood to break the hug, but my dad’s mobile rang. “Just a minute! Princess.”, He excused. “I’m sure this will be your mother’s call.”

‘My mother.’

“She kept calling after every fifteen minutes to know whether I finally met you or not!”, He explained, taking out his phone from his pocket. “There she is.”, He said, showing me his display.

‘Love’

The moment he swiped the screen, a lady of an older version of me appeared on the screen. Without any greeting, she started speaking, “Did you reach that address? Whatever that guy has informed you about our princess, was it true? For god sake. Vik! Are you going to speak anything or not? Did you find our princess this time?”, If I was not wrong then she was my mother. No wonder how dad recognized me even after looking at me for the first time.

I indeed look 70-80% like her.

Since dad had held his phone in his hand, that’s why mom couldn’t see any other faces other than dad.

“Is Saira and Mayan around?” Dad asked.

“No. They always used to get upset with no positive response; that’s why they didn’t join me in this call. But why?”

“Call them quickly.”, Dad said.

“Please tell me this is what I’m thinking.”, She said and screamed loudly. “Saira, Mayan, come here quickly.”, She added and looked toward the screen again. “You found her, didn’t you?”, She asked happily. Tears started beaming in her eyes.

“Did Papa find Falak?” I heard a male voice.

“Yayyyy…Finally, this house will be ruled by two princesses.” I heard a female voice, and soon a younger version of my dad and a girl of seventeen or eighteen years joined the call. “Where is she, Papa?”

“Are you guys ready?” Dad asked with a wide smile on his face.

“YESSSS!!”

While they were getting excited, I was feeling nervous.

“Here, she is,” Saying this; dad turned his phone toward me. I nervously waived my hand, but all the excitement disappeared from their face.

My brother was the first to break the silence. “What happened to your head? Did someone hurt you?”, He asked in a concerned tone.

The little girl was second to speak. “The same question appeared in my mind. Since Big Brother already ask you that, I’m changing my question. Who is the hotty behind you?”, She asked and winked at me.

Shit!

“Saira! Saira! Saira!”, Three mismatched voices called her name and glared at her, which she just shrugged. “I just ask what I saw!”

“I think he is the one who informed your father about your sister.”, Mom answered.

I turned my head and found Klaus, who was looking at me with a smile on his lips.

He again was the reason behind my happiness!

And here I was snatching his only source of happiness. I didn’t want to do this to him, but at the same time, but I didn’t have any other options, did I?

Thinking this, I turned my head toward the phone again. “Vik, Please bring our princess to her home as soon as possible. I couldn’t wait to meet her, hold her in my arms, feed her my own hand, and wanted to do all those things which I have missed until now.”

That was it.

I would have to leave from here, from this country for, forever.

I was going to do the same half an hour ago, wasn’t I? Then Why the hell this fact was hurting me so much.

“Sure, Love! I will talk to you later now.”, Dad said before disconnecting the call. He looked at me and then at Klaus. He walked toward Klaus and placed his hand on his shoulder. “Thank you, gentleman. Thank you so much.”

“It is not required, Sir.”, Klaus said with a fake smile on his lips that didn’t reach his eyes. I knew even he was disturbed by the news of me leaving from here.

“You two?” Dad looked at him and then at me. “Umm.. what kind of relationship do you two share? Are you guys married?”

“No! No!”, We both replied, and then our eyes met.

“So, you both are in a relationship? I mean boyfriend and girlfriend.”

“No! Yes!” I glared at Klaus for saying YES. At the same time, Dad looked at both of us by raising his brow. I was glad that he didn’t ask anything about it.

He just gave all his attention to Klaus before speaking. “You did the biggest favor of my life. I promise to return this by doing the biggest favor of your life.”, He tapped Klaus’s shoulder twice before turning around, and then he reached near me. “Come with me, Princess!”, Saying this, he forwarded his hand toward me.

I hesitantly held his hand and started leaving from there by holding my dad’s hand like a little girl.

A part of me was happy, while the other part of me was crying loud because of the unbearable pain.

I thought he would try to stop me again, but he didn’t. When I was about to enter the elevator, I heard a loud smashing loud of glass.

“What’s that?” Dad asked.

“His anger,” I responded, trying my best not to cry.

‘Good call, Falak. You turned a calm human into an angry beast again.’,
