Purple Romance
Chapter 56: 56 Why don't you go out with my dad? 2
Calia was almost done with the lollipop and saw an out stretched hand in front of her. She turned and looked at the girl who had stretched out her hand with another lollipop towards her face. She smiled awkwardly and took the lollipop. She found the girl's actions adorable and decided to ask.
'Do you always give strangers your lollipops?'
The girl looked at Calia before shaking her head and answered 'because you are pretty. I gave the lollipop to you because you are pretty'
'Because I am pretty? So, you give your lollipops to only pretty sisters?' Calia asked.
'No, is also because you looked like you needed something sweet. I was looking at you since you came. You were taking pictures of the kids but your eyes looked sad so I wanted to cheer you up. My father said people's eyes never lie'.
'Whoa. That was so deep. You are quite eloquent I see. Your father is right. People's eyes never lie. No matter how hard they try to hide it, their eyes always give them away. Thank you for this lollipop. It really cheered me up'.
'Then, can you share with me why you were sad? My father is a doctor and I also want to grow up and be like him. He said that people get sad because they are hurt. Pretty sister, if you tell me where you are hurting, I can call my dad and he will prescribe something for you'.
'That would have been great but, I don't think your dad can help me with my problem. Is a rather peculiar one you see'.
'How peculiar? My father is a good doctor. You can trust him'.
'Mmm, lets see, how do I put it? You see, pretty sister here is not hurt physically so your dad might not be able to help me. This place hurts?'
'Your heart? You mean your heart is in pain? Then is more serious than I thought'.
'Right, but is not that serious. I just need to endure it for a while. It will go away very soon'.
'Oh'.
'Little girl, what is your name?' Calia asked.
'Tiana. My name is Tiana Brian and I am 8 years old. I'm in 4th grade'. Tiana said and grinned.
'4th grade and you are already so smart? I wish I was as smart as you when I was in 4th grade'.
'You don't look like someone who is not smart. Pretty sister, did you…breakup with your boyfriend? is that why it hurts here?' Tiana asked.
Calia looked at the girl. She suddenly felt that the girl was too inquisitive about her private life. Calia chuckled and looked at Tiana saying 'how did you know about that?'
'I just took a guess since you refused to go to a doctor or the hospital' Tiana said.
'Well, Tiana, you are half right and half wrong. I didn't break up with my boyfriend because I don't really have a boyfriend. Just that I like someone I shouldn't be liking and it hurts'.
'You like someone you shouldn't be liking? That's complicated then?'
'Mm, you are right. It is really complicated that's why I am cutting it off starting from today'.
'Are you single?'
'Yes, why do you ask?'
My father is also single'.
'Huh?' Calia looked at the girl shocked. She didn't know whether she was just hallucinating or not but hearing her say her dad was single was like she wanted to match make them.
'I live with my aunt and dad. My mother died after giving birth to me, so I don't have a mother' Tiana said and looked innocently at Calia before adding 'if you don't mind, can you like my dad instead? I guarantee you, he is very handsome and sweet'.
'Tiana, what are you saying suddenly?' Calia asked. The girl had taken Calia's hand and held them tightly not letting go.
'Why don't you go out with my dad? He is likable and will treat you right'. Tiana pouted her lips and gave her signature puppy look that no one could resist.
'Tiana, this is not right' Calia said. Just then, one of the teachers walked to them and spoke.
'Tiana Brian, play time is over. Hi'. The teacher turned to Calia 'is she someone you know?' she asked Tiana and the girl nodded her head.
'She is my dad's soon to be girlfriend. Pretty sister, can you come and chat with me tomorrow same time? I am new in this school and don't have friends'. Tiana said and looked at Calia.
'Okay, you go inside. Tomorrow I will go and look for you' Calia said and the girl loosened her grip on her before kissing her cheek and running off with the teacher. Calia was stupefied for a moment and touched her cheek and chuckled. She looked at Tiana who was waving at her and waved back.

'Look at this lobster, is it fresh enough?' Maria turned the video recorder towards a basin of lobsters in water and showed to Kobby. She has called him earlier on and asked him to help her in picking the ingredients. She was now left with the lobster.
'Pick the one on the left corner of the basin' Kobby was in his office as he gave the instructions to her.
'This one?' Maria pointed at the sea lobster asking him.
'Yes, that one. Maria, I have a patient coming in so I have to go'. Kobby said.
'Then, what am I going to do. You know I don't know how to cook a proper meal apart from simple ones. He wants me to cook and serve him like a Michelin star chef. I really should have taken my cook lessons seriously. I thought that as long as you are there I won't need to cook any difficult dish. I feel like I just hit my own foot and can't even cry'.
'Is alright, you can call me when you are about to start. I will show you what to do' Kobby said and his office door opened and Ad-Din walked in.
'Okay, I love you the most in this world'. Maria said.
'That's enough bootlicking for the day. I have to go'. Kobby said and hung up. He put the phone aside and smiled at Ad-Din saying 'sorry about that'.
'Was that your wife?' Ad-Din asked.
'No, my sister. I don't have a wife. I have a child and a friend who is like a sister to me. My wife passed away during childbirth'. Kobby said and smiled bitterly.
'I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to intrude' Ad-Din said.
'No, is alright. Is over 8 years and I'm over it. back to you. how have you been feeling lately. Any relapse? The last time you told me about a woman. How is your relationship with her?'
'That? Is not good. She is my ex-girlfriend and she is already married'.
'I'm sorry about that'. Kobby sympathised with him.
'Is okay. She works at my company now. I'm trying to get a closure and move on'.
'That is good. Is not good to still harbour feelings for her if she is married. So, I made a treatment plan for you and…'
