"Where are you going, son?" David sat on the sofa looking at a picture of his two children. David has just arrived in the United States. Her tears came back from remembering her two children who were now out of nowhere.
For three years now David has been looking for Tifanny and Meghan. The information that David got from Elora, his two daughters returned to England with his uncle named Bobby.
At the end of each month, David always took the time to go home to England and look for his son. He did it for three years to find his children. But David never met them. For two years, David traveled through Birmingham, believing his daughters were in the city. David's heart was a little relieved because Tifanny and Meghan were with his uncle. However, this year David is looking for the whereabouts of Tifanny and Meghan in the city of Cambridge, because David got the info if Tifanny and Meghan are in the city of Cambridge.
David manages to meet Bobby, but Bobby says that Tifanny and Meghan are no longer with him. David asks where his two children live, but Bobby always keeps quiet when asked about the whereabouts of Tifanny and Meghan. Bobby is worried that David is back to hurt his two nephews who are already living a quiet life at this time. David's presence is feared will open their old wounds again.
"If you always go to England, our money will run out. Leave it! They're all grown up, and your two daughters are with their uncle. I'm sure they live well" belinda hurled furiously.
"I'm the one looking for money and it's up to me what it's going to do. I missed my two daughters and now they are no longer with his uncle" David looked at Belinda sharply.
"Yes, but I'm your wife and I deserve all your money" Belinda snapped.
"You don't understand how I feel. For three years I did not meet my two daughters. What if it happens to you and Clara?" David's eyes flushed.
"You're too much! They're gonna be fine. They don't live alone. There's that useless family of your ex-wife" Belinda shouted.
"I told you they don't live with their uncle anymore!!" David went out in front of Belinda and went into her room.
"Ma Hallo!" Sapa Clara who just came into the house. He had so many bags in his hand.
"Every day you just go walking and shopping with your friends instead of making money. You've graduated from a top university, you don't have any intention of working and making money for your mom?" Belinda scolded Clara.
"Come, Ma! What does Clara work for? Our lives are good. Mom's husband is a senior doctor in this town. Ma, you have to remember, the salaries of doctors in this country are no joke. The welfare of a doctor in this country is very much assured. Moreover, my mother's husband is a specialist doctor who already has a very good reputation," Clara keeps her groceries on the sofa.
"But what's wrong with you working, Cla? Especially now that your stepfather has always spent a lot of money looking for his two useless children. During these three years, at the end of each month he always went to England. Do you know how much a plane ticket costs to get there? Our savings were confiscated for your papa's journey, too" Belinda folded her arms around her stomach and looked at Clara in annoyance.
"Your father? He's not my papa, ma'am" Clara took her cell phone and played it.
"If you're talking, don't be cool with your phone! You're not worried about our financial situation?" Belinda took away her son's cell phone.
"If you hadn't lied to Tifanny pushing you up the stairs, that kid wouldn't have left here!"
"So mama blamed me? Aren't you glad they got out of this house?" Clara clucked in annoyance.
"Yes, mama thought her father wouldn't look for them until like this. The money in the account was almost drained to look for them," Belinda shouted to Clara.
"Ma, you're overreacting! Mama's husband is still working now, so there's nothing to worry about. Is it good that he didn't find his two children? Clara's lazy once if one houses with them again. Clara's been cape-caping away them in a subtle way," Clara rolled her two eyeballs.
"You're stupid, Cla! Just try that time you didn't lie about Tifanny. Of course he won't leave. Though we're waiting for him to graduate from college, once he gets a job he'll definitely leave this house."
"Alright, Ma. You've always treated them badly here. Mama always slandered Tifanny and her sister to papa," Clara took her phone back from her mother's hands.
"What do you mean?" David suddenly appears in front of Belinda and Clara. The faces of Belinda and Clara were struck by lightning when they heard David's voice.
"Nothing," Belinda smiled as sweetly as she could.
"So, is this your original behavior?" David's voice filled the room.
"Well, did you hear our conversation? Since when, Pa?" Clara asked in panic.
"From start to finish. Why do you have to take care of my daughter?" David's reddened face restrained the turbulent anger within him.
"It's not what you heard. You misunderstood me!" Belinda touched her husband's hand.
"Never touch me!!" David yelling.
"I'm sorry I married you. My children are suffering because of you!" Shouts David back.
"Why is it wrong to say that? Didn't papa hurt them more?" Clara.
"During this time papa believed in us more than Tifanny and Meghan. It wasn't us who made them suffer, but papa!" Clara Imbuh.
"Shut up! I've treated you like my own son. Even I always put you ahead of my biological children, because I thought you lost a father's affection" David looked up at Clara in a fit of air.
"I never asked to be noticed by you," Clara casually sat back down on the sofa.
"Clara's right. You treated them worse than us" Belinda smiled cynically.
"Close your mouth! I'm gonna get out of this house. And then someone will come here to take care of our divorce!" David looked at Belinda with anger.
Belinda and Clara immediately gasped at David's words.
"Pa, you're overreacting!" Clara stood up and touched David's hand.
"Let's talk about this all right!" Belinda said in panic.
David did not hear their words. He immediately went to his room and cleaned up all his belongings.
"You can't divorce me!" Belinda follows David into the room and grabs David's suitcase.
David did not budge, he continued to take all his belongings with no leftovers. David grabbed his luggage violently and put all his belongings back in the suitcase.
"I'm tired of you! I'm sorry I left my wife for a woman like you!" David Hardik. Then he immediately dragged his suitcase towards the door.
"Pa, don't leave us!" Clara pretended to cry and held her stepfather's hand.
"Let go! You're as bad as your mother!" David releases Clara's hand and walks straight to her car and puts her suitcase in the trunk.
"Okay, I'm sorry I treated your two kids so badly. I'll fix everything if we find them" Belinda held David's hand that was about to get into his car.
David immediately threw Belinda's hand and immediately got into his car. He drove his car to the apartment he owned in the city.
***
3 weeks later...
David has submitted his resignation from the hospital where he works. His determination was already unanimous to settle back in England. That way, the opportunity is even greater to find Meghan and Tifanny.
"Excuse this useless papa! Papa misses you so much, that it feels like you want to die" David wiped his tears. He was on a plane to his home country.
