"What!" turning her face to Anna Noora said, her emotions were now on a roller coaster going up and down, she was getting a new surprise with every new second.

"Yes! i- I just can't leave her alone" looking back at her friend Anna said with a serious face

"Really!" her lips curved upwards as Noora said with a soft voice,

"I'm f you!" taking Anna in her embrace Noora hugged her being proud of her friend's decision

"You know what! why I was always behind you following you? that's because I had always seen something different in you, you are the best! like who in the world a 22 years old girl would adopt a baby, putting this huge responsibility on yourself can't!" making the moment more emotional with her best friend speech Noora let out few cries, still hugging her best friend

"Stop it now" petting on Noora's back Anna utter wanting to break the hug as she is not someone who would like hugs.

"I love you! you ate the best!" finally breaking her long hug Noora utter looking into Anna's eyes. Noora was so happy with Anna's decision, she knew, Anna would never let Maria's life ruin my leaving her in an orphanage

A smile made its way on Anna's lips as she just nodded in reply

knock knock~

Hearing the door knock Noora wiped her tears off. as Anna went to open the door of her room.

"Anna I'm hungry!" standing on the door Maria utter

"What is your name baby?!" While Noora made her way towards Maria asking her with her sweet voice

"I'm Maria!" Maria replied

"Wow what a beautiful name for a beautiful little girl" pinching her chubby cheeks Noora utters also making a cute face

"Maria you stay here with aunty, and I'll go make some noodles for you OK?!" saying to Maria Anna was about to make her way to the kitchen when

"what aunty! no aunty! I'm Noora!! call me Noora!" feeling offended by her friend's words calling her aunty Noora utter in dejection

Chuckling at Noora behaved, Anna got out of her bedroom while Noora made Maria sit with her and they both started playing with each other.

The rest of the day went happily Noora spent so much time with Anna and Maria, laughing, playing with each other.

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

Another day Anna was waiting for Maria, standing Outside of her school, the weather was freezing, rubbing her hands together to build some heat, Anna looked at the door from where the little kids were running out happily going towards their family members,

as they just got free from some jail.

smiling at the kid's Anna again looked at the door looking for Maria but no one came out, making Anna worried.

She made her way inside to look for her,

"Excuse me? do you know the girl I daily pick u, where is she?" going inside she asked the gatekeeper about Maria with worry written on her face

but hearing his words made her more worried

"She left early today with a guy, he said he's her big brother!" the gatekeeper utter

"Why did you let her go!?" closing her eye as she knew that's no point in arguing with this old man she made her way outside without hearing him.

Hopping on her bike she directly made her way towards the police station.

---------

Walking inside the police station she searched for the same officer who handled the case before

"Excuse me where is the officer deen?"

looking for the officer she asked

"He's not here yet!" hearing the words she does not want to hear makes her more worried

Her anxiety was once again taking a place, standing in the middle of a police station, her vision goes black as she falls fainted.

A girl laying down in a hospital ward

a black night sky was shown from the only window of that dark room,

opening her eyes she only sees the darkness with the only hint of moonlight, she tried to sit up, looking at the side table she tried to find some water as she suddenly felt her throat getting dry, but there was nothing to that she can use to get rid for her sudden thirst,

"Water" asking for water a whisper came out of her dry lips, but there was no one to listen

"Water" asking again she looked to her sides but didn't see anyone

She was all alone in that hospital ward, that lonely dark place didn't make her scared of anything, she was used to this, getting up from that hospital bed she stumbled wall towards the window, standing in front she tried to open the only window which was the only way of light in that ward, trying her best but the window didn't move from its place, she again gives one more try but nothing helped.

Giving up she walked back to her ward bed, sitting down she suddenly felt no oxygen, breathing loudly she tried to fill her lungs with the only oxygen in that ward but nothing helped.

She didn't felt any oxygen and her throat was still thirsty~
