“There is someone who wants to meet you… Please… Come with me…” she said politely. But that was not a request, it was an order.
I have enough problems already. So I didn’t want to protest. Thinking who wants to meet me, I followed her to a room.
She opened the door for me and let me in.
I was stunned to see the person who was waiting for me in the room…
I entered the room, thinking who wants to see me right now. I don’t even know anyone here.
A person was sitting on a rotating chair in the room. He had his back turned to my direction, but when he heard I entered the room, he turned to my side. OH MY GOD!!!
My heart stopped beating for a second… My feet frozen…
Victor McMiller!!!!
Yes… It is indeed him… Looking exactly like the matured version of my Jake…
Why the hell he wants to meet me? How he knows that someone like me even exists in this world. God! Has he got to know about my relationship with Jake?
Oh, My God!!! Oh, My God!!!Oh, My God!!!Oh, My God!!!
What am I going to do now? Jake was going to tell his dad about us on his birthday, which comes next week. He said that is the perfect time to let him know. So what the fu** am I going to do now? What am I supposed to say even? “Sarah…” his deep voice raised.
I totally lost my ability to speak. I was just staring at Jake’s dad like I am insane.
“Come and sit…” then he said. His voice sounded calm, but there was a clear dominance in it.
I walked towards him slowly. There was not even 3 meters distance between us, but I found it super hard to walk even that.
I sat on the chair he pointed me.
The man who is in front of me is not just Jake’s dad, but he is the newly elected president of our country too. The most powerful person in the country. Though he looked so much like Jake, his features clearly said that he is a dominant, strict person who values his principles more than anything else. When compared to him, what am I? I am just nothing.
I was just looking down, I had no strength to look into his face.
“Sarah Anderson, I think you know who am I?” he asked.
I nodded my head, still looking down.
“What you know about me?” then he asked.
I lifted my head up and peeped at his face. His eyes were focussed on mine. Those eyes had an unbearable piercing look like he is going to look into my soul through my face.
“You are the new president…” I said, but even I couldn’t hear clearly, what I said.
“Is that all you know?” he then asked.
God!!! Why he makes me feel this uncomfortable? Mr. McMiller, for Godsake, I clearly know who you are, and you definitely know that I know who you are. So why make this so uncomfortable?
I looked at his face again. His eyes were still focussed on my face, and he is waiting for my answer.
“You are Jake’s father.” I released a sigh and replied.
“Why you seem so afraid if you know who am I?” he then asked.
Oh, God! What is this? A court hearing?
I didn’t say anything.
“According to what I found about you, you are a smart, independent girl. I didn’t think you will be this afraid in front of me,” he said coolly.
So he has found information about me. What is going to happen now?
“Don’t be afraid… Look at me…” he then said.
Easier to say, Mr. McMiller…
However, gathering all my courage, I looked right into his eyes. God! It is so hard to keep looking into these eyes… I feel like I become totally naked, and my body and soul both are fully exposed to him… “You are a simple girl, nothing distinctive…” he said, after looking into my face sharply for a few seconds.
“I think my son prefers brain than the look.” he then said, sending a shiver down my spine. He knows… He exactly knows…
I looked down immediately.
“Don’t try to pretend you don’t know what I am talking about, Sarah… That is not the nature of a smart girl,” he said.
I don’t want to pretend anything. But I was so afraid to talk to Jake’s dad. Not because he is the president or a dominant man. I fear him because I respect him as Jake’s dad. I am afraid because I don’t want to say anything unnecessary and make a wrong impression I looked up and focussed my eyes on his face. I should keep on looking at his face no matter what he says. I don’t want him to think I am a weak girl.
on me.
“I know everything about you two. Until yesterday, I didn’t know anything about you, but now, I know about you even more than you know about yourself,” Mr. McMiller said.
Of course, you are the most powerful person in this country. You can do that easily.
“I didn’t know about you earlier because I didn’t want to know. Jake doesn’t like me putting a lot of restrictions on his life. He always says he wants to lead his life like a normal youth. So I let him and I trusted him. He kept my trust for all these years he has never lied to me until yesterday.” he said. The look on his eyes, God, I don’t even have words to explain the disappointment it carried.
“Even when he lied to his mom and me yesterday and left home, I let him… I wanted him to have the freedom he wants. But today, I regret I let him have that…”
True… I can understand the way you feel, Mr. McMiller. If you didn’t let him go, then he would still be safe. I wish I could convert my thoughts into words…
“He has cheated me all these years…” he then said. His voice has turned so much. Now he sounds angry.
My heart started to ache, after hearing the word ‘cheated’ Isn’t that word a bit harsh?
“I think a smart girl like you can understand that he has put his life into danger because of you,” he said, treating me with his piercing look.
“He has gone to so many places when he is not supposed to go. He has done many stupid things when he knows that there is a risk. He has made himself vulnerable because of you! It is a miracle that he didn’t get into this trouble much earlier. “
I know, lying to his parents yesterday and go there is not the right thing to do, but Jake’s dad is not talking about yesterday. What are the other times he is talking about? I couldn’t even understand.
I think he understood what I was thinking. He is so good at reading people, I think that’s the main reason for his success.
