I'm Not Daria
Meet mom and dad

"Darla, say 'father', "I heard Anna whispering in my ear from behind.

"Dad?"i stammered. I just hope that's Daria's relationship with that bald guy.

His eyes softened and he walked towards me before gently pulling me into his embrace. At first I was shocked, but soon I hugged him back lightly, now I am sure that he is Daria's father. It was a bit awkward because I had just met her for the first time and I had never hugged anyone in this place, She pulled away a little, just to give me a soft kiss on my temple.

"Daria, why did you leave us?"His voice broke in the end. "Why did you do that? I spent almost two years finding you. Up until now, "Said, he pulled me in with a tighter hug.

My eyes were wide at that moment. He hasn't seen his daughter in the last two years! I swallowed spit. He hasn't met her yet!. I'm not his daughter. I felt guilt hit my chest. What I did was wrong.

I felt another pair of arms encircle me and I looked up to see Madame Darelyn, my 'mother' hugging me from behind.

my head was down when I felt more guilty.

Anna coughed awkwardly, she just had to stand there and see us hugging each other. We parted ways and I saw Mrs Daralyn's happy face, but a moment later Ms. Daralyn clapped.

"Come on, let's have breakfast together" he said cheerfully and we all sat at the breakfast table. Anna and I are next to each other. Right across from us sat Mr and Mrs Daralyn.

"The food is very fragrant, Ms. Daralyn," Anna said

Madame Daralyn smiled shyly. "Everyone in the family is very good at cooking. Our food was made by our personal chef "He smiled a little at Anna and then looked at me. "Daria, come on, eat. You haven't eaten anything yet

for more than twelve hours. I don't want you to go hungry. Or are you still on a salad and water diet?"He chuckles.

Just salad and water? Does Daria have a death wish? I can't just survive on salad and water.

"Nm ... I'm so hungry" I said, I grabbed the pancake and bit it. It was sweet and buttery invaded my taste and I eagerly picked it up. I ate it voraciously, as I realized how hungry I was.

"What's in there?"Anna asked in an attempt to start a conversation. Madame Daralyn looked up from her food and stared

towards the direction where Anna was staring.

"Oh, that's a walk-in fridge," he replied. Walk-in fridge? I've never heard of it. How does it work? I'm not someone who's familiar with anything fancy".

"So, tell me, Mrs Daralyn". Anna started with a mouthful of Juice. "Why did Daria run away? He never told me,"

He turned his gaze towards me to pretend to glare at me. "

Every time I asked Anna, she would say 'I don't want to refuse her.

anna smiled back at Daralyn. "And seeing that I was also kidnapped, I think I deserve to know why exactly Daria decided to run away from you."

Seamless steps to uncover the truth we do not know.

Madame Daralyn turned to look at me sadly. "You want me to tell him?"

"no" said Anna a little too soon. "I mean, I don't know. Why didn't you tell him?"Anna asked.

I don't know why Daria ran away

first of all, so what am I gonna tell Anna?

"OK," he said, turning to Anna. "daria fled when she was eighteen years old. She is a very grumpy girl, who is very stubborn, she always wants to have everything she wants, I'm not sure if she's still like that." He looked at me with an apologetic smile.

"We as his parents, of course, obey his every demand as his only child. Money is not a problem, I do not see that I spoil him. He caught his girlfriend cheating on him with one of his friends and we were sad, but he did it too far to show his superiority and yours".

I choked on my pancakes, I looked at her with wide eyes. "W-what did he command-I mean, I ordered you to buy me a boy?"

He nodded with amused eyes. "Have you forgotten this unforgettable moment?"

"Oh, um .. I was pretty stupid back then." I pretended

"you spent almost two hours convincing us to buy it and I immediately snapped and hit you, I'm sorry."

"AA-I deserve it," I bit my lower lip.

"What happens next?"Anna asked, like a child who heard her grandmother tell her stories.

"Of course, we didn't listen to him this time and he sulked, locking himself in the bathroom for an hour. We thought he was coming."

He looked at Mr. David while we just looked at him in shock. "Unless, he never did. He had just disappeared, the guards were unaware when he escaped and we couldn't find him until now."

"Wow, "calling. Anna, slap me on the back, "you're one of those naughty girls."

"Shut up" I said, finishing my last great breakfast with the others. This is the best breakfast I've ever had in my life.

"Daria. Would you like to visit our relatives? They're so happy to see you again. Your grandmother and cousin, the whole family is eager to see you. Should we go today? They missed you so much all this time and they wanted to come here but I told them not to do it because I don't want you to feel uncomfortable under everyone's attention , don't forget the media are gonna go crazy, they're gonna come to see if you're really found."

"Whoa, whoa," This is new to me. What media? What relatives? I swear I'm gonna kill Anna for getting me involved with this.

"i don't want to go anywhere."

Anna watched them from a distance with a frowning hue on her face.

"I know you don't want this" said Madame Daralyn, holding my shoulder. "Don't worry, I won't let you do it. Do something that makes you comfortable. "So what do you want to do now?"

I looked at Anna. I'm not sure what exactly I'm doing here. The only thing that makes sense to me is Daria.

he was a rich brat who ran away from his parents for stupid reasons. And I thought I was that rich kid. What a mess, what a messed up situation!.

"I-I want to talk to Anna," I said.

"Sure, please."Madam Daralyn gestured at him with a smile.

"I mean, I want to talk to him. Alone."

Madame Daralyn frowned at me before finally nodding. "OKAY. I'll be here if you want to tell me something."

"Thank you" I smiled at her and grabbed Anna's hand and started dragging her away.

"Daria" I heard Madame Daralyn calling me and I turned to look at her. "Stay in that room for today. I have a room to suit your wishes.You can try it if you don't like it."

"Oh, okay," I said impolitely before dragging myself and Anna into the room. We have a lot to discuss.
