. "Ouch mum!" I yelped and held my nose that had just been bruised because she didn't miss her target. "What are you doing here?. You intruder!" my mum screamed at me. "Someone please help there is a thief in my house, a murderer, a kidnapper, someone save me,!" My mum suddenly began to yell. "Mum?" I looked very surprised because I couldn't comprehend what was happening. "Don't you even dare to call me that because I am not your mother. The daughter I gave birth to will never be brave enough to spend late nights outside" my mum was giving me a stern warning as she pointed her index finger at me.
Mara's POV
My mum couldn't even wait for me to get close to her room door before she threw her shoe at me.
"Ouch mum!" I yelped and held my nose that had just been bruised because she didn't miss her target.
"What are you doing here?. You intruder!" my mum screamed at me.
"Someone please help there is a thief in my house, a murderer, a kidnapper, someone save me,!" My mum suddenly began to yell.
"Mum?" I looked very surprised because I couldn't comprehend what was happening.
"Don't you even dare to call me that because I am not your mother. The daughter I gave birth to will never be brave enough to spend late nights outside" my mum was giving me a stern warning as she pointed her index finger at me.
Tears flowed from my eyes as I couldn't hold them back anymore.
"I don't know what I have done to you that makes it difficult for you to trust me.
You couldn't even open the door for me last night and you risked my life. I was attacked yesterday and I ran to the house. I ran to my own mother but she shut the door and refused to take me in" I continued my sob as I wiped the tears from my eyes.
"You didn't even bother to ask why I was late and where I had been all this while, you just concluded and decided to scold me. It is so not fair mom because I do everything for you and you don't care about me.
I'm such a horrible child" I managed to talk in between my sobs and I could see that my mother's heart had melted as she walked up to me and tried to touch me but I moved away from her.
"You already denounced me as your daughter. What else do you want?" I wiped my tears.
"I'm sorry Mara, I thought.." My mother was trying to plead with me as she felt very remorseful.
"You thought that I had purposely stayed out late! You thought that I had started doing the things you forbade? But even at that mum. The punishment you gave me last night was more than my offense.
I could have been killed" I interrupted her.
"I'm so sorry, my baby. I didn't mean to but I was so upset" my mum also joined me to cry.
"I'm really sorry, it won't ever happen again okay" my mum was trying to assure me.
"Come I will make your favorite meal for you" my mum promised me as she made her way to the kitchen.
"No mum, I have had breakfast.
My boss was the one that helped me. Come let me tell you everything" I pulled her back and made her sit on her bed as I wiped her tears and began to narrate the whole story to her, cutting off the part where I threatened my own boss of course. I didn't want to put any crazy ideas in her mind.
At Mia's orphanage
"Why are you packing your things Mia?" A little girl came running into Mia.
"I am going for a sleepover at school, Lakshmi said it would be nice" Mia replied as she continued to go through the things that she would be needing.
"Wow! Can I come with you?" The little girl looked at Mia with pleading eyes which had no effect on Mia at all.
"No I don't think the school would allow me to bring you along" she replied the girl.
"But Mia, I won't be in any trouble." The girl wasn't planning on giving up.
" No," Mia blatantly replied. The little girl ran out of the room and soon returned with a lady pulling her by the wrist.
"See aunty, you have to tell Mia that I must go with her or else she won't be allowed to go" the little girl kept on dragging the lady's skirt and the lady was getting really uncomfortable.
"Britney, stop it okay" the lady shunned her and focused her eye on Mia.
"Mia?" The lady called Mia's attention.
"Yes" Mia dropped what she was doing and entwined her hands while she looked at the lady.
"Did you tell anyone that you are going for a sleepover at your school?" The lady was questioning Mia who now looked downwards at her feet.
"No, I didn't," she shrugged.
The lady went closer to her and made her sit in the bed along with her.
"Mia, you cannot just go anywhere you like and anytime you like. You have to inform someone anytime you want to go somewhere or do something outside the orphanage especially when it is past your school hours because we are responsible for you.
Heaven's forbid it if something bad happens to you, we will have to look for a way to find you and if you don't tell us where you went we wouldn't know where to start" the lady was calmly explaining things to Mia who didn't understand why it was necessary to inform someone whenever she decides to leave the orphanage.
"Do you understand Mia?" The lady asked her as she noticed that Mia wasn't quite paying attention to what she was saying.
"Yes" she kept on nodding her head vertically.
"So can I go?" Mia raised her head to look at the lady who just couldn't say no to Mia.
"Yes, but you have to make sure Lakshmi drops you off on Monday" the lady instructed and Mia agreed with her condition.
"But what about me?" the little girl said in her small voice that made the lady giggle.
"You will have to wait till your own school has a sleepover then you can go but for now only Mia can go" the lady smiled at the little girl as she made the little girl sit on her lap and patted her hair.
"That is not fair at all. I want to go please" the little girl was still persistent.
"Britney what did I say about disobedience?" The lady was gentle in her words and it made Mia feel safe.
"You said disobedience is bad and it can put someone into really big trouble" the little girl lowered her voice as she had been shouting.
"Do you want to get into trouble?" The lady asked the little girl who now folded her lips to one side of her face.
"No," the little girl replied with a very sad tone.
"Then don't disobey me okay?. I'll tell you what?" The lady had an idea.
"What aunty?" The little girl suddenly had joy in her voice.
"Since it's Friday and it's the weekend, I'll let you watch all the cartoons you want all throughout the night. Do we have a deal?" The lady brought her hand out for the girl to shake on it.
"So I get to stay up all night?" The girl was overjoyed.
"Yes" the lady smiled and the little girl slapped the lady a low five
"Okay Mia, we will leave you now to continue with your preparations" the lady carried the girl in her arms and left the room.

"I don't baby, maybe I just feel comfortable here especially with you by my side" Liam said as he kissed my cheeks from behind. "You know the whole world is going to be against us" I spoke with sadness. "Why do you say so my darling?" He asked me.
Banshee stopped her chants and went to fetch hot sand that was initially in the burning fire and she scattered it on his face. Rubbing it in his head and using it to bathe him, he was in pain, very serious pain.
Your sister's heart is full of words."Lakshmi spoke. She was so beautiful and I must admit, I was very envious of her long hair. She didn't look American at all, I kinda wished I was Indian. "You can also have long hair like Lakshmi?
"Come close" she whispered and I brought myself close to her. "I AM SORRY" she shouted in my ear. "Do you want to make me deaf?" I quickly stopped and gave her some distance. "You said you didn't hear me the first time so I wanted to say it in a manner I would be sure, you heard me" she smiled at me.
