Her shades of Hues

Chapter 17

Felicity's pov.

Time passed. And the time changed my plans. I always thought I'll attend fashion school but as soon as I moved here in Switzerland, I wanted to work. I worked at a pharmaceutical company as a research assistant and right now, I'm very much contented with everything.

Meeting my Mom again was the most emotional yet happy moment I had. She's nice and yet so funny. She even said that I do not need to work, that she can support me as she owns a small business.

But I do not want that kind of life, I want to be independent.

I was depressed for months after moving here. It's been a year and a half, but still, I am in the process of healing.

"Felicity!" I turned my head to see the director calling me.

"The kids are looking for you. They are all waiting for you already, they keep on asking for you." She said. I smiled at her and shook my head in disbelief.

I stood up from the seat of my car and took the pictures of plants and also the toys that I bought before going here.

I've been visiting this foster home. As I was depressed, my Mom made me go here. At first I was mad because kids- they were so noisy but when I saw their smiles and thoughts of them getting abandoned here, broke me into tears.

I was unlucky in life but I made it into where I am because of my own choices while this kids. The kids never asked their parents to let them brought into this world yet they were abandoned like it was their fault.

The director or should I say Ms. Delia, she's raising the kids using the money from sponsors and from the government.

"How was Rhyah?" The director asked as we walked towards the front porch.

"She's fine. My mom has been looking at her."

"Oh that's great. How old is she again?" Ms. Delia asked.

"She's one year old." I answered.

Yeah, I had the baby. I never aborted the baby. I made my Father do a fake medical chart in the promise of never coming back. And I'm happy with my decision... I never wish to go back.

I was also happy that I kept my baby. I'm happy that I brought Rhyah into this world, she's so lovely. I remembered being so depressed even before I gave birth to her. I question my choices. I was so mad at to how things turned out but when I saw Rhyah the first time, I fell in love again.

I just love her.

"It's Felicity!" I heard the loud voices of kids screaming my name as if they are so excited to meet me.

I smiled at them and waved my hands. "Hello kids!"

I also shake the things in my hand a bit slowly to show them the things I brought for them. They all cheered and it made my heart feel so happy.

The other kids took the toys from me while the one little kid that asked me about the pictures of plant, he politely stood in front of me waiting for it. Benny is kind of different and distant to the other kids, all he wanted to do is to read and keep his mind busy to logical things.

"You seem so happy with things like this." I commented and he nodded politely again.

"And if you want me to buy you more book, just tell me, okay?" I said and smiled at him as I placed the pictures in his hand.

He smiled at me and thanked me before going back to his own safe space.

I looked at the Ms. Delia and she's smiling at me widely.
