Manoban Lalisa didn't plan for her life to be on the run with a newly born to protect and raise, but the situation she's in doesn't give her any other option. Running from Thailand to South Korea, Lisa struggles to find a place where to stay as she...

While Lalisa slept, I read an important email I was waiting; a list of the best most trusted babysitters and kindergartens.
It's not like I wanted to separate the two, but Ireshi needed to learn to stay away from her mother, Lisa needed to learn the same. They both obviously had issues, the mother for sure, so they needed help. I said I would have taken care of them and I didn't go back on my words. And again, I grew attached to them.
I smiled as I made a first elimination round of what didn't sit right with me, as I would have gone over the rest with Lalisa. Whether she liked it or not. This past month although my orders, we weren't able to conclude much; no getting used to them staying away from each other, no meeting with the psychologist, nothing.
I stopped my work and stood up, wanting to check on Lisa. I moved beside her and adjusted the covers, moved some hair out of her face and made sure she wasn't too hot.
It was weird to have someone sleep in my bed. It was the first time in years after I broke up with my ex girlfriend. I had flings but I never wanted them in my bed, yet here I was, with a random woman I picked off the street sleeping in my bed and her kid sleeping in another room. If Jennie knew she would never let it pass.
Talking about Jennie, I refused to believe my gossip girl of a cousin was still unaware of Lisa although I kept it hidden. I bet she was just waiting for me to get back to work to bombard me with questions.
I stared a little more at Lalisa and silently scoffed, why was I even staring at her in the first place?
The Thai scrunched her nose and pouted in her sleep, she was so cute. I looked at my wrist watch and sighed. I didn't have anything to do and suddenly I had this need to lay down in bed.
With Lalisa specifically.
I silently groaned and shook my head, walked to the other side of the bed, raised the covers, layed down carefully and back hugged Lisa, closing my eyes.
I don't even know why I'm doing this... Perhaps cause I pity her a little? And she really seemed to need a hug. Ugh, I'm such a softie.

«Ireshi! Lalisa! Cut it off! Just because you both feel better it doesn't mean you can go out and play with the snow.» I sternly stated, arms crossed and staring at the two Thais sitting on their bed and pouting.
Like mother like daughter for real.
Lalisa said «I promised Ireshi we'd make a snowman when there would have been snow! And look outside there's so much of it! I can't let this chance go. I know she shouldn't, what do you think I am? Dumb? I'm a mother for goodness sake! I will dress her well and make sure she doesn't get worst. You know, there are tons of parents who go out with their sick kids so they get stronger. Ireshi is strong, she's been sick and on the streets. We're used to it.» I stated once again sternly «I said no. Period. When you were in the streets you had no choice. Now you do. I do. And I say you both stay here and get better.» I turned on my heels and left their room, hearing their whining and bad mouthing me. As I closed the door I sighed and massaged my temples mumbling «It's like I'm suddenly a mother of two... Incredible.»
