Maria leaned on her window that faced the front of the compound she lives in. Her eyes were heavy and red from crying and she was tired, but she forced herself awake to see the arrival of her dad. She was never awake when her dad has to leave for work and she slept too early to see her dad arrive. 

She gently rubbed the spot where her bruise was and waited patiently for her dad. She wanted to hug him, kiss him, and tell him about her day, and maybe tell him that she has Robin as her best friend. 

She tugged at her shorts when she saw the bruise being exposed and quickly pulling it down.

It was Thursday so Robin wouldn't visit her tonight because he has a training session with Batman, according to him. So, in those days, she waited by her window so she could see her dad enter and give him a hug. 

She just wants a hug. 

"... Where are you, papa?"
