BIRTHDAY

LISA'S POV

"Erelah.. we need to go.. and I'll say something to you later" I said. She looked up on me. Today was Jackson's private burial.

"Lili.. can I visit Appa.. or no?"

"Uhm.. I.. think for now.. I'm sorry baby.. but for now you can't" my face softened.

"It's fine Lili.. I can understand.." I knelt down and messed her hair.

"You're such a smart kid.." I said and chuckled.

We went to the car where Jennie was waiting.

"Let's go? Where do you want to eat Erelah?" I said.

"I'm fine with anything Lili.."

"How about you Jagiya?" I asked her

"How about... We visit Ajumma?"

My eyes widened, she remembered Ajumma.

"Oh.. that's.. great, sure.."

"Who is Ajumma?"

I laughed a little and look at Erelah.

"She's my second mother Erelah.. you'll meet her later, she'll love you"

~~

We arrived at Ajumma's place.

"Limario!" Ajumma said.

I smiled and hug her.

"Ajumma.. she knows it already.. so you can call me Lisa" I said. She looked at me surprised.

"Then.. Lisa it is.. Hi, It's nice to see you again Ruby Jane." Ajumma said smiling. Jennie hugged her and smiled.

"Me too Ajumma.." She said.

I placed my hands on Jennie's shoulder and smiled proudly.

"Uhm.. Ajumma.. Ruby Jane.. uh.. she's my.. mmm-"

"Wife?"

"What!? No Ajumma.." Jennie glared at me. "I.. I mean not yet.. not yet.. Ajumma" I said smiling nervously.

"Oh.. I thought so.. because of this cute little girl.. Hi there sweetie" Ajumma said and wave her hand at Erelah.

"Hi Ajumma.. I'm Er-"

"Angel.. her name is Angel Ajumma" Jennie said immediately and hold Erelah's hand and caressed it.

"Oh.. her name suits her well.. she looks like a real angel, now sit down and I'll bring your favorites on your table hmm?" Ajumma said and we nodded. We sat on one of the tables.

"Here.. eat well okay? I need to attend some customers.. enjoy sweetie" Ajumma said as she placed the food on our table and smiled at Erelah.

We ate and talked. I told Erelah that we should change her name to Angel and it's for her safety, well.. Erelah, I mean Angel.. she's a smart kid as I said before so I know she's understanding everything that I said. She knows why we need to do this and why can't one of us adopt her for now.

"Lisa? I'll be going to the market first... Will you be going now? If not then wait for me.." Ajumma said.

I smiled and shook my head.

"I want to stay longer Ajumma.. I missed this place.." I said. She nodded, before she could come out from the store Angel approached her.

"Ajumma? Can I come with you? I want to see how the market really looks like, I've never been there because I live in an orphanage and we're not that allowed to go out.. well for me Ajumma.. if it's not Lili and Nini I won't be able to go out" She said. Ajumma smiled and nodded as she looked at us asking for my permission. I smiled answering her question.
