Farewell

What Layla did was right but she was regretting it later on. "It was not a mistake." "What i did was absolutely right thing to do." She had all these thoughts on her way back to home. "Maybe I should have given it more thought before acting like this." She was over thinking it.

        "Layla why did you go there?" asked Mr.Simon. "Dad! Please what i did was right." said Layla. "But it can bring us worse outcomes." said Mr.Simon. "I am not afraid of them so leave it. I am going in my room." said Layla and went to her room.

         Layla's phone was ringing. "Hello!" she answered the phone. "Who is this? Please speak." said Layla angrily on the phone. "You made calls before too with this number. If it is a prank i swear i will kill you." shouted Layla and hung up. "Someone outside?" shouted Layla from her room. Maid listened and entered in. "Bring Daniel here. I have some work with him." ordered Layla. "Ok Madam!" said the Maid and rushed outside. After a little while, A big man with strong Arms and a big riffle entered in the room after knocking. "Daniel, Long time no see." said Layla. "Yes Madam. Why did you call me here?" asked Daniel. "I am having some weird calls. It's been a while since i am having those. Someone always called but never speaks. First i thought of it as a prank but now it is serious i think. Look into this number and track them whoever they are." ordered Layla and showed him the number. "Okay madam i will be on it." said Daniel and left.

          Layla went to her university to get readmitted there. She came back home and went to her Father's study but he wasn't there. "Where's dad?" questioned Layla to the servant. "He went out." said the servant. Layla dialled the number and called him. "Where are you?" questioned Layla on phone. "Ok i am coming too." Layla answered and hung up.

       She went to the site where her dad was meeting with other buisness men. "Dad!" shouted Layla from far away. Her Dad waved at her and smiled. She started walking towards him and she just covered the half path when the gun shot was heard. Everyone freezed at their spot. Layla wasn't able to move. Her eyes were at her father smiling so brightly but those expressions changed after the shot. Mr.Simon grabed his heart and blood started dripping on the ground when he fell down with open eyes. "Nooooooo!" shouted Layla and ran towards her father. "Dad! Dad! please stay with me." said Layla crying miserably. "Call the ambulance. Now!" shouted Layla to other's standing there. Guard checked the nerve impulse. "I am sorry Madam but i think it's of no use now. He is dead." said the guard. "Shut up! who are you to say this? call ambulance or i will fire you." shouted Layla with trembling voice. After a minute ambulance arrived and they took him to the hospital.

        Layla knew somewhere deep down that there is no hope left but she wasn't accepting this fact. She was desperate to make her father come back to her and hug her. She was standing in the hospital hallway waiting for the doctors to give her a hope but it was the opposite. Doctors apologised to her for not saving her father. She was filled with anger, shock and sorrow. She wanted the world around her to disappear and she wanted her life to end at the spot but This is all not possible. Being alone there and had no one to rely on was one of the miserable thing happening to her at that heartbreaking time. She was broke inside and wanted to shout so loudly but she was holding her back. With all this going on inside her, She was standing there confidently telling all the guards to prepare for the funeral.

        Next day. The day where Layla gave farewell to her father. She was wearing a black gown and was standing beside her father coffin. People were coming to her and giving her condolences. Then she saw Mr.Adrian along with Mrs.Adrian approaching to her. Her expressions changed suddenly. "I am so sorry for your loss." said Mr.Adrian. Layla didn't respond. "We are always here for you. We are also like your parents." told Mrs.Adrian. Layla was quiet as her lips were sealed. "Yes of coarse! You can rely on us. We are not strangers. After this all we can talk about buisness too. What do you think?" questioned Mr.Adrian. Layla looked up with fire in her eyes. "My father is dead and what? you wanted to talk about your own shit." shouted Layla. Everyone got attentive towards her. "Calm down. Everyone is here. Why are you making a scene? As always You are just making your father embarrassed, also ruining his funeral. What a shame!" taunted Mr.Adrian. "Shut up! I know it's you...You killed my father." said Layla. "Do you have a proof?" questioned Mr.Adrian. "You are not denying it. huh?" asked Layla. "Well i am a man of my words so i don't lie." said Mr.Adrian. "My father always helped you. He treated you like his brother and what did you do? killer!" shouted Layla. "Oh come on. Your father was arrogant and always looked down on me. He thought of himself as a superior being and always made me feel pathetic." said Mr.Adrian. "I will make you pay for what you did." threatened Layla.

          Layla saw Fiora and Gace coming in. Layla ran to Fiora and hugged her. Fiora gave her some strength to go through all this. "I can't believe he left me." said Layla. "It's okay. Don't cry. You have me." Fiora consoled her. The Funeral went well just as Mr.Simon deserved. All the people from all type of families came and showed their respect. He was the honest man. He was in a dangerous buisness but he always fulfilled his duties honestly and served justice for people. He lived a meaningful life.
