“Honey, is this not your like?  Do you want to eat something or somewhere else?” A middle-aged man brimming with soul energy asked 5-year-old Sansa who was too quiet for someone who begged him to bring her to bring to the prestige hanging gardens.

“Now daddy, it’s fine,” little Sansa answered half-heartedly.

How could a father not see that his little princess was mentally not present with him? So he picked her up in her embrace and said, “Tell daddy what is bothering my little princess?”

“Nothing,” suddenly lifted by her father Sansa was surprised and did not reveal to him what was bothering her.

“Oh no! Sansa, the tickle monster is trying to break free, quick tell me what is bothering you otherwise come out to tickle you,” Sansa’s father spoke exaggeratedly as he comically moved his free, which seemed to badly want to tickle little Sansa but was being held back by her father.

Hearing her father call her hand the tickle monster, little Sansa laughed and said, “Daddy don’t be silly that is your hand.”

“My little princess, do not be fooled by its appearance, it has been possessed by the tickle monster and it is threatening to tickle you unless you tell your daddy what is bothering you,” Sansa’s father said as he continued to act comically using his free hand.

“But I don’t want to,” Sansa said in a low voice.

“Why does my princess not want to tell me? I thought we shared every little thing with each other,” Sansa’s father said continuing his act.

“Because, because you will get mad, then sad and start drinking that smelly stuff again,” little Sansa replied truthfully why did she not want to share what was troubling her with her father?

Hearing his daughter say that Sansa’s father immediately knew what was going on and in annoyance, he said, “Is it the Baylor’s boy again? What did he do this time? I swear to god I am going to give that boy a good ass whooping one of these days.”

“Bad daddy, you can’t say that word,” little Sansa said with puffed cheeks referring to the word ass.

“My bad honey, daddy got carried away. I promise I will not happen again,” hearing his cute daughter, Sansa’s father felt his annoyance wash away.

Then for some reason, his daughter acted shy and added, “and- and he is a friend you can’t scold him like that.”

Hearing his daughter call him a bad dad for a boy Sansa’s father’s bravado broke into pieces like shattering glass. Suddenly Sansa’s father for a moment as card emperor felt deep jealousy and hatred toward a five-year-old boy. He felt like destroying the hanging garden but he controlled himself from doing so. As he knew even if he was head of his family, the family members will abandon him if he were to destroy a property prestige in its name.

As Sansa’s father was trying to control his spiraling feelings, he felt a stare at him. It belonged to his daughter. She stared at him with a worried gaze. Seeing the worry in his daughter’s eyes Sansa’s father’s grievance suddenly vanished, he would rather eat his jealousy, hatred, and other feelings, than see the worry in his little darling’s eyes.

So suppressing his feelings, Sansa’s dad decided to be the ear he promised his daughter he would be. And immediately a forced smile formed on his face and he said, “Daddy is sorry for his behavior. I promise this won’t happen again. But remember you can talk to me about anything that bothers you, I will always be there for you and no judgment,” Sansa’s father’s words were genuine. As he realized that his feelings about his daughter’s love life were his burden, it did not have to be her problem. But he was indirectly making it her burden. This would only lead to one end: his daughter closing herself to him and never really being  open about anything to him ever again.

Besides his daughter was just Five years old, and this was her first crush. The whole thing will blow over soon anyway. There will be others but none will be the same as him. He was worried over nothing. He should stop overreacting when it came to his daughter. How can a puppy love compare to her father? He will be the most important person in her daughter’s life, that was given.

“Hehe, I forgive you daddy and you can also always tell me everything,” little Sansa did not understand what her father said at that moment but it would when it mattered.

“Good, I will do that. My little princess knows just the right words to make daddy happy,” Sansa’s dad rubbed his nose on his daughter’s causing her to laugh feeling ticklish. Hearing her laughter, Sansa’s dad felt that his life had a meaning and he was embracing it right now.

“Daddy it’s ticklish,” little Sansa said but continued to laugh carefreely. The visitors to the prestige hanging garden looked at this lovely scene and suddenly felt that the prestige hanging garden fell short compared to the father and daughter pair.

“Now that we have gotten that out of our system, no tell daddy what happened,” having uplifted his daughter’s spirit Sansa’s father did not forget about the boy who made his daughter sad.

“He promised me that he will visit the garden with his father today but he changed his plans because went to see Ellen’s house to see the pet monster her parents bought her,” little Sansa got depressed with every word she spoke.

“How could he,” Sansa’s father impulsively wanted to curse at the Baylor family kid but held back and then added, “It doesn’t. let’s go to the guild association mall, we are going to buy you a pet. So that tomorrow he will come to our house to see your pet.”

“Really?” Little Sansa asked cutely.

“Yes, we are. Have I ever lied to you?”
