Camila and Grace move slowly towards the orphanage to avoid being seen by anyone. Suddenly, they hear footsteps and hurriedly hide behind a tree. From where they hide, they could see a lady in black holding a baby basket. She looked around her to be sure no one was watching her then she quickly dropped off the basket at the entrance and moved away really fast.

   "Grace did you see that?" Camila asked
   "Yeah"
   "I think i should put my baby in that lady's basket, it's big and I think there should be space for my baby too."
   "So you're scared of knocking on that door and facing the caretakers to hand over your child legally?"
   "I'm not scared, I'm just ashamed of myself for not being a responsible mother."
   "I know this is a hard decision for you to make but you should trust me, I'm your friend and I won't give you a bad idea. This is your only option yunno."
   "Hmm. Alright."

Camila takes a piece of paper and writes a note which she carefully folded then she wrote in an envelope 'MY DEAR RITA .M. after that, she placed the letter inside the envelope and took a beautifully embroidered handkerchief and put them with her child in the other baby's basket at the entrance. The other baby was also beautiful, camila thought a million things to herself that minute while she looked at her child one last time with tears rolling down her cheeks. Grace gave her a pat on her back and pressed the door bell, after that they moved away to return to their hiding place. Grace wanted to see her baby being carried inside the Premises of the building. The door was opened to reveal a thin woman probably in her mid thirties. She looked down and saw the babies then she looked around to probably check if the person that dropped the kids was standing somewhere. She saw no on me so she carried the basket and shook her head in disbelief and took them in. This moment really hit camila deeply as she couldn't stop crying.
