     Multiple beads of sweat ran down my body as I tried to continue keeping a steady pace on the treadmill. The sun hasn't risen yet so I decided to go to the gym that isn't too far away from the apartment before Alia wakes up. As much as I hated to admit it, it does feel great knowing I made it to where I am today. If it wasn't for Neha and the help of her parents god knowing where i would have been or even worse, if i would have still been here.

  After I broke the news about my pregnancy to my parents they were not happy at all. A Lot of things were said that day, from both parties. Some comments were a bit nastier than others. I even fought for him hoping he would do the same. He never did. I haven't seen him in a while. The last time I heard about him was on the news about three years ago. They found loads of cocaine, heroin and mariguana in a room at his house after someone snitched to the cops. Those were only some of the drugs in his possession, they were many more. No identity of the person who snitched was released to the press and I don't think they are going to release it either. In fact I doubt if the person is still alive. 

   I know what work he does. He just doesn't sit behind a computer and take meetings for his company. He owns the fucking mafia and not just any mafia, this is the italian mafia were talking about. You must have a fucking death wish if you’re thinking about betraying them. 

I wonder if he is still in prison. If he knows about alia. A part of me misses him and still loves him. I hated how he left off things. If only he had stayed a few more days he would have been here with us. He made his choice and I made mine and that's something neither of us could go back and change.

My top was drenched in sweat as I slowly peeled off the treadmill. My legs felt like jelly at this point. I somehow managed to make it to the car and drove back to the apartment. As I pulled into the parking lot I noticed the same black suv that I saw yesterday parked next to my parking space. Whomever car it was, they had money. Seeing it up close was even better than I thought. I parked my car and lazily made my way back up to the apartment. I desperately wanted to take a shower and drop onto my bed at the same time. I made my way into the elevator and pressed the button to my floor. A couple seconds later the elevator door opened and I reached into my purse to take my keys out when all of a sudden my attention was caught by something else. The apartment opposite mine wasn't occupied for a while, but somehow I can see the light reflecting through under the door. Maybe someone new did in fact move in. I opened my door and entered my apartment. I threw my keys onto the kitchen counter and made my way into my room to take a shower. After my shower I entered the kitchen to make Alia some breakfast. I decided on waffles and strawberries today. A few minutes later Alia entered the room rubbing her tired eyes. 

 “ Good morning love” I smiled as she walked into the kitchen. Her sleepiness was now replaced with a smile . She wrapped her hands tightly around my waist and looked up at me through her thick eyelashes. 

“Happy birthday mama” she bounced excitedly with a large smile plastered onto her face.

 “ Thank you baby” I said with a smile as I stooped down to hug her. “ Now, breakfast is almost finished.” I said as I usher her to take a seat so I can place her breakfast.

 “Mommy are you and aunty neha going out tonight?” she asked curiously, taking a bite from her waffle. 

 “Yes we are, baby. We’re going to be out late so don’t stay up for me okay? I promise we won't stay out too long. Also there's going to be someone here to watch you so don't give her too much of a hard time okay?” I said as I washed the dishes from last night and put them in the dishwasher.
