He takes the plates that’s occu-pied with food, he gently drop it on the table and glance up, he could not find her.
“ Jamila!!” He called and got no response.
He went upstairs and saw no one, he went out of the building and went to the back, he saw her playing, he created a small playground for the twins but Jamila happened to be the first person to go there.

“ Not yet but you can come here anytime you want only if you promise me that you won’t say anything to Mom” Dian said.
“ I promise” She said immediately.
“ Pinky swear?”

“ Pinky swear” She said.
“ Let’s go inside, the food is ready” He said and carry her.
They entered the room and went upstairs, he gently place her feet on the floor and take off her dress.
“ Can you clean your body?” Dian asked and she laughed.
“ Papa I’m five not ten” Jamila said.
“ Uh oh” He scratch his hair and take off her clothes, they enter the washroom and Dian clean her body thorou-ghly.
After cleaning her body, he wrap a small white towel round her body and carry out of the washroom.

“ Papa….” She called.
“ Jamila do you need anything?” Dian asked.
“ Why are you suddenly acting nice to me?” She asked lowly as she take her spoon.
“ Jamila why do you say so??” He asked.
“ You did not use to give me any attention and anytime I try to play with you, you use to ignore me” She replied lowly and Dian sigh.
He hardly talk to her, he doesn’t give her any attention cause he’s yet to consider her as his child but when he saw her smile, he was reminded of Sally, his heart suddenly want to him to say and do things he doesn’t wanna do.
“ I’m sorry” Dian apologized and she nod.
“ After today, you’re gonna go back to the scary attitude” Jamila said.
“ It’s not gonna happen and I’m sorry for treating you badly, Papa have a lot of things going throu-ghhis mind” Dian said.
“ Papa I’m not angry instead I love you more, you’re better than Mom that only care about her phone and fashion” Jamila said and Dian raise his eyebrow.
“ Phone and fashion???”
“ She’s always on her phone so I spent most my memories with auntie Anne” Jamila said as she eat her food and Dian sigh.
“ I promise to have time for you” He said.
“ Don’t for-ce yourself” She said lowly.
“ Jamila I’m not forcing myself, I’m sorry for treating you badly and I promise to treat you good from now henceforth” Dian said.
“ Is it because you’re feeling or because of her??” Jamila said and point at Sally’s picture frame.
“ Jamila….” He called softly.
“ I wanna sleep” She said and take the gla-ss cu-p holding it carefully, she sip a little water and drop it down.

“ Finally I’m gonna be less bored” She said and walk towards him, she hug-ged him and Dian carried her.
“ Don’t tell your mom about our little secret” Dian said.
“ If I only you play with me” Jamila said.
“ Is this a blackmail???”
“ No Papa it’s a choice” Jamila replied sharply and he chuckled.
