In a room,Violet sat tidying her foster mother clothes

Zing

The door open

"Are you done tidying my clothes?"asked Deborah, the woman who Violet considered as her own very Mom.

"Yes,mother", Violet answered Deborah's question,whom she already consider as her own mother.

"Violet"Deborah called again

"Yes, mother,"Violet answered Deborah.

I want you to help me tidy up some personal data files of your foster siblings for their prospective adoptive parents."Deborah said.

Ok Mom, violet answered with a sad expression.

"What's wrong Violet,"Deborah asked with a worried tone.

Mom is just that I will miss my foster siblings when they're gone, Violet answered with a teary eyes.

Deborah stared at Violet,who was standing with a sad expression.she found her Violet dear 18 years ago at the door step of her house. She was kept inside a nicely made expensive basket [it resembles that of a royalty children basket] in front of her house. Because of her Violet, she had also helped in training abandoned children in her home.

And now her little Violet has turned out to be a beautiful lovely sweet girl. [Her little girl]. Violet loved her Mom Deborah so well that she even rejected a rich persons offer on adopting her. [They can't take her away from her Mom Deborah].

Violet gave Deborah a dilemma because of this. How she rejected everyone that wanted to adopt her as their own child. Their request was always rejected by Violet. Some felt a little disappointed and others too that tried on also adopting her were embarrassed because of the straight rejection from Violet.  

"Mom what are you thinking now? You looked really troubled. And why are you looking me like that. It's as if you have seen a ghost now behind me. Violet asked her Mom Deborah that looks like she's definitely troubled now.

I am just thinking about how time has passed and so many things have changed,my Violet has now become a big girl,"

Oh Mom.. I love you. We will live and grow old together. She said assuring her Mom Deborah now.

I know that my dear.. but, there must come a day when you'll have to fight to survive all by your self in this crude world. Deborah said this seriously to Violet. It's as if she was expecting something to happen soon to any of them now.

they where done with their conversation violet went ahead to prepare the personal data files of her foster siblings for their prospective parents.

"I have finished arranging the documents Mom", Violet alerted her Mother who then came and collected the files from her.

Deborah handed the files to the adoptive parents. When they were done with signing the document, they requested for their new adoptive children.

Inside the room upstairs

Violet was packing and arranging her foster siblings clothes, Jeremy who was the second oldest in the orphanage assisted Violet in packing their clothes.Jeremy was also eighteen years as Violet,but Violet was older than him with some months.

Jeremy and the other two foster siblings was all that was left in the orphanage for adoption except Violet,and now they are been adopted by their new parents.

When violet was done packing she held Jeremy's hand and her other two foster siblings whose names were,Chloe and Nora.Chloe was twelve years old while Nora was the youngest,She was only eight years old.

"Jeremy, Violet said

"Yes violet,"Jeremy answered.

"I am going to miss you all, Violet said as she hugged them tightly with tears on her eyes.

We are going to miss you too,"they all said before they head downstairs to their adoptive parents.

When they came downstairs Deborah requested that the adoptive parents should give them sometime to talk together which they all agreed on.

Deborah looked at her foster children and said, don't be sad am not abandoning or leaving you am just giving you a better life where you can be educated and achieve a better dream,she said crying.

Jeremy held her hand and wiped away her tears and they all hugged and said goodbye before leaving with their new parents.
