SHE WAS MY GOD DAUGHTER

Matthew’s P.O.V.   I don’t know what was he hiding but one thing that I was sure of that my brother needs me.  I took him to one of the secret places of mine in the basement parking, where I hid my baby. I have every edition of every branded car but I am obsessed with bikes. I was just crazy about them. My baby is the latest model of Harley Davidson Cosmic Starship. I loved her like a crazy boyfriend. I pulled the covers from her and Alex looked at me in disbelief. “What”, I shrugged my shoulders annoyingly.   “You have your bike in the office”? He asked me in disbelief. “So…. Where it has been written that I can’t bring my baby here”, I argued back like an old lady.  He rolled his eyes and then asked me what to do now.   I went back to my car and pulled out 2 helmets from the back of the seat. “Pull off your watch, blazer, and anything you think can identify as Alexander Carter out there”, I asked him and he nodded.  I took out jackets also. Those are mine. One black and one blackish brown. I loved looking like a bad boy bike rider. I gave him one of my jackets and then put all his accessories and his suit in my car and locked it.   We both hopped on the bike but I was not happy. Alex was also fond of bikes since school. He took the keys from me and now he was driving my baby. My heart was broken. I stopped him by going through the main gate and told him about another exit from the building. He was surprised to know that I had these kinds of small details. But what I could do. I am what I am.   The drive was silent as I watched my brother enjoying the drive. In all these 6 years after Anaira left, I missed his genuine smile, the spark of his eyes, and his carefree nature. Everything changed after that. He has now a masked cold expression on his face every time. He became short-tempered and also merciless.   I was surprised when we entered a hospital compound. It was a small hospital. I was confused. Why were we here? He parked the bike and we looked around for anyone following us. When we were assured that nobody followed us, we removed our helmet.   “What are we doing here, Alex? Who is sick and why he or she is in this small hospital?” I asked him so many questions in one go and he sighed.   He closed his eyes like he was battling with himself. I was sure that something was bothering him like hell. “Follow me Matthew”, he said while moving away from towards the entrance. I rolled my eyes and followed him wherever he was going.   I noticed him wiping his palms to his pants frequently. I was shocked. He was nervous like hell. His whole body was tensed and I eagerly wanted to know about the worry of my brother.  We soon reached a VIP room of the hospital. It was a small hospital yet neat and clean. We were standing in front of the door of the room and he closed his eyes and inhaled sharply. He was sweating like hell. I put my hands on his shoulder in worry. He looked at me and then he opened the door.   We entered the room and I saw a small girl sitting on the lap of a man who was feeding her lovingly. When they heard the opening and closing of the door, they looked towards us. “Daddy”, the small girl squealed and jumped from the man’s lap and ran towards us. She was too weak to hold herself on her feet and was about to collapse when both I and Alex ran towards her and held her from her waist. My heart was jumping in my chest. I was scared when I saw her falling down. I didn’t know her still I was scared for her.   “Daddy… you come”, she said in a very sweet voice and I was shocked. She was calling Alex, Daddy?????? My eyes widened in shock when I saw him hugging her tightly yet gently in his embrace and a tear rolled down from his eye. He didn’t even bother to wipe that tear. I was dumbstruck not to know what to do. He kissed her forehead gently and stood in the same position for a few seconds.   “Alex”? all I could do was calling him. He came out of his trance and looked at me. The small girl hid in his chest. It looked like she was scared of me. Scared of me????? But why???? She was too small and …. And… so beautiful… and I had a handsome face too.   “Yes Matthew… she is my daughter… my princess… Tina”, Alex told me and I froze on my spot. How could he do this to Anaira. What were all those searches about Anaira if he already had a daughter with someone else. Did he hide all these from us, from his family? I was angry with him.   But before I could say anything, the girl looked at me with lit-up eyes and asked me, “you uncle Maths”. My heart skipped a beat and my breath hitched. How did she know about my nickname? Did Alex tell her?   “You know her, princess?”, Alex asked her with surprise in his tone and I looked at him again averting my gaze from her. I was looking between them like a dumb ass.   “Mommy said uncle Maths is g…..g…g…father”, she stammered a little, and then it hit me hard. I put both my hands on my mouth and trembled. Alex looked at me annoyingly but got worried about seeing me like this.   “Please tell me Alex this is not what I am thinking”? I pleaded to him with teary eyes. He simply nodded and my breath hitched. It was a promise between Anaira and me that I would be the Godfather of her children.   Suddenly, Tina raised her hands towards me with a cute and innocent smile on her face and I immediately pulled her out of Alex's embrace and hugged her. Tears were rolling down from my eyes.   I pulled her away from my chest and started kissing all over her face like a crazy mother. She was Anaira’s daughter. She was my God Daughter. I was the happiest human being in the world right now. I looked at her and laughed a little. She made a small pout and it was so beautiful. She was so beautiful and cute.   I slowly sat down on the floor with her in my embrace. She smiled again and then wiped my tears from her small hands. She was so innocent. “Uncle Maths… you come”, she said with a smile and my heart exploded with happiness. I was so engulfed in this happiness that I forgot everyone’s presence in the room and cried my heart out. She put her head again on my chest and put her small arms around my neck.   After a few minutes, when I calmed down, I looked at Alex. He had tears in his eyes but a smile on his face. “I am sorry Matthew”, he said and I was confused. I was totally confused.   “Why did you hide her from us all those years Alex”, I accused him of almost yelling but was afraid of raising my voice. She could be scared.   He closed his eyes and tears rolled down from his eyes. “I found her just 3 weeks ago”, he told me and my eyes widened in shock.
