Found a little girl

"My mama was her but now u can't find her,"

The girl said in her soft voice

while Anna got irritated that how could a mother leave her little daughter, who looked 4-5 years old alone,

"Wait here I'll go find her OK!" saying that Anna starts finding that irresponsible lady,

Looking everywhere as she left no place but didn't found her mother,

"Um I didn't find your mother!"

Coming back Anna got herself on her keens and utter

Making a sad face, the little girl who was just about to cry

"Atop! .... OK come with me we will find your mother! OK?"

Nodding her head the the little girl wipe her teary eyes with her tiny hands a cute pout on her face, looking adorable,

holding her hand Anna got to the counter and paid her bill as she left the store not alone this time

Hopping the little girl in front while Anna sat in the middle,

Ahe went home while thinking, now what she is going to do, with that little girl sitting ahead of her~

The first thing Anna did in the morning after waking up was to took a leave from her office

Last night when she came home, she let that little girl sleep in her room while she slept on the couch of her living room, laying down she thought of going to the police station to place a report about that girl, she didn't wanted to keep someone's daughter with her illegally.

"Good morning"

A soft voice utter, hearing the voice Anna looked at her side as she was sitting on the couch while eating some boiled eggs, as she didn't know how to cook,

"Hm"

Hmming in reply Anna tap the place beside her on the couch, while she indicated her to sit beside her

"Thank you"

With a sweet smile on her face the little girl sat beside her and took a piece from her plate,

Anna looked at her side and slides the plate in front of her, not knowing Anna was smiling ear to ear

"What is your name?"

Looking at her cute face as she was eating with her mouth full Anna asked.

"Maria"

The little girl replied as she looked back at Anna with her doe eyes

"And your name?"

She asked in her cute voice when made Anna's lips curved upwards.

"I'm Anna"

Anna replied as she looked at her with her hearty eyes.

"You know where is my mama?"

Asked with a curious face Maria made Anna's smile go bigger as Anna pats her head before speaking

"No, but we'll find out!"

Nodding at Anna's statement Maria continued with her breakfast, while Anna just sat there looking at her cute sight.

Walking in the police station while holding Maria's hand Anna search for someone to hear her out.

"Good afternoon officer!"

Greeting an officer, making Maria sit on a chair while Anna also sat down on a chair in front of his desk

"Good afternoon! how may I help you?" Being professional the officer asked politely

"Sir, I found her in a grocery store near #### place, I tried to find her mother but I couldn't".

Hearing Anna the officer just nodded seriously as he looked at Maria before looking back at Anna and spoke

"OK, I will investigate about it!"

---- ----- ----- ----

Taking all the information about Maria's mother the officer came back with Maria as she came running towards Anna and held her hand,

"I can see she more save with that here, you can take her with you yet we will inform you when we'll find something about her mother!"

Seeing Maria clinging on Anna the officer utter

"OK, sir! but how long it will take?" being serious Anna proceed asking

"We also don't know yet but don't worry we'll try our best!"

Giving her a ray of hope the officer replied

Nodding in agreement as Anna holds Maria's and went out of the police station

Not knowing what to do anymore, who would she take care of a baby in her house, as she's not experienced with kids, as long as she remembers she was always alone in her world, not interacting with the other kids even when she was a little as she lived in her little bubble, and now she has to take care of a girl who's just 4 years old

Thinking about her job, she thought to take leave for a whole week, because if she would go to her job then who will take care of Maria,

sitting on a chair in her kitchen she looked at Maria, who was sitting on the couch while watching cartoons and laughing.

Aeeing her enjoying her life a smile made its way on Anna's face.

"Anna come here"

Tapping on the couch beside her Maria called Anna by her name

"Anna?"

Walking towards the couch while raising her eyebrows as that little girl called her by her name Anna questioned

"Yes, Anna, like your name better!"

Maria utter as a cute giggle left her mouth making Anna grin at her cuteness

Taking a seat beside Maria Anna chuckled

"You're my friend right!?"

Nodding to her question Anna smiled as Maria asked.

Having a good quality time with a little kid made Anna's heart melt, her laughing sounded sweet to her ears, whatever she says makes Anna smile or even laugh, while a thought made Anna's eyes teary, not remembering the last time when she laughed like that, she gulped down her tears inside and put a grin on her face~
