Eli's mom and dad loved each other and they were married fabulously. They both were happy in the touch of other one. Soon they expected a baby, yes that was Eli. They couldn't wait to welcome her and always imagined how their daughter was going to be. Her father exclaimed that the upcoming baby would be as beautiful as her mother.

They both were dreaming of a happy family and decorated a room for Eli. The room was full of different toys and the baby weardrobe was full of the upcoming baby's clothes.

But life had other plans and Eli's mom passed away too soon. She suddenly was having health problems after Eli's birth and she soon left them. Her father loved her mother so much and he always missed her. But he also tried to put up with things and to raise Eli all by himself.

Years passed and Eli grown up. She started to go to school. She turned to be a mature girl and she tried to move on with her father. She always tried to make him happy and eradicate his loneliness. She also made good results in class. When she informed her father about her grades, he felt much proud and inspired her.

The daughter and the father was the closest ones to each other. And Eli could hardly remembered her mother whenever she was with her dad. But maybe her dad couldn't forget her and needed someone to put on her place.

Another few years also gone like this. And one day Eli's dad remarried. He brought his new wife to the home. She was the same age of her father. And that's when all the troubles started.

Eli was very happy to see her new mom. She thought she would be able to feel mother's love now. She warmly welcomed her new mom to the house. But the woman even didn't laugh at her. She became cold with her and asked her father to hang her coat in an angry mood. This made her upset.

The another day Eli was near the living room and she suddenly overheard her dad and step mom. The woman was always angry and yelled to everyone. On the contrary her father didn't say a single word or didn't protest her.

It turned out that the woman controlled every penny Eli's dad earned. She heard her asking him furiously where the rest of the money was. She wanted to buy an expensive boots and didn't got enough money for them. Her father didn't say anything and gave her the rest of the money he kept of the month. Eli saw this all and felt sad for him.

She even treated Eli terribly. She put up with it only for her father's sake. One evening Eli was being ready for going outside. She dressed well and she looked great. But the woman came to her and asked if Eli was really going out in those rags. She got angry this time but didn't say anything again for her father's sake.

But there was limit to endure. One day the woman took her mother's photo that always hanged on the wall. And she threw it on the trash can. The moment when she threw away her mom's picture was the last straw for Eli. She seriously got angry and asked the woman to put the photo back. The angry woman replied that nobody needed her mother and her.

She looked at her father. He was not saying anything and was also a victim of his new wife. Eli could keep putting up with her rudeness but not with her dad's indifference. She asked her father if he was not going to say anything. And he still remained silent and didn't say anything. Eli said that she had seen enough and left.

The same day Eli packed her belongings and left the house that used to be her home. Her father still didn't anything except watching her leaving. But her step mom took it as her winning. She was the happiest to see Eli leaving.

Eli started a new life. She rented a small apartment and managed a job. It was quite decent ones and she was enjoying her new life. She rarely thought about the past. She also had no connection with that house. They also never tried to contact her and so she didn't

But one day Eli's dad showed up at her place. She got astonished by seeing him. He was dirty and tired and looked like a homeless man. His clothes were torn and looked dull. He somehow managed to say, "Hi, baby.." But she was speechless this time. She never thought she would be seeing her father like this.

Her dad told her how her step mother kicked him out of his own house. Few days ago, without any reason, she suddenly told her father to get out of the house and never come back. And without a speech, he walked out of the house. He wandered the streets for a few days. And finally he mustered the courage to come to Eli's place.

She sat closely to her father and he asked if she would forgive her. She cried and said that there was no reason to say no. She assured him that it was going to be okay.

After a few drawn-out litigations, Eli and her father managed to get their house back. Life went back to normal. They again put her mom's photo on the wall and they became best friends. They believed that Eli's mom was watching them from the heaven and smiling.
