Third Person's POV

Stella instantly get out of the car after she pulled over in front of Mr Garcia's Home. The lady run to the door and knocked hard. Her heart is liked being stabbed when she saw on facetime of how miserable the little girl is as she cries. All she want to do to is put Aia on her lap, bounce and comfort her to stop her from crying. She's going to make her self sick if she won't stop.

"Where's Aia?" the first words comes out from Stella, once the door was opened.

"She's upstairs in her room." Richard stated nonchalantly.

"I know that we need to talk but please let me see Aia first?" the lady asked him worriedly. Richard just nodded his head and opened the door widely for Stella to come in.

Stella hurriedly go inside and walk faster towards the stairs then goes straight to Aia's room. She didn't give the chance the man talk more, all she needed to do first is to get to her baby. She knocked at the door and called Aia, although she didn't get any response from the little girl. She just opened the door and found the girl on the floor, shes cries so much but quietly.

"Sweetheart!?" the only word Stella able to say once she gets near her.

Aia look up to her and said "Mom, mommy!" the little girl get up from the floor as soon as she saw her and cried so hard this time then throw herself to Stella. Aia instantly wrapped her arms around her and hug Stella so tight. She even cry harder once the latter picked her up and hold her closer.

"Ssshhh, I'm here baby girl, it's okay, it's okay now." Stella says softly to Aia's ear to calm her down. Little girl sobbed so hard as she buries her face to Stella's neck.

Stella walks towards the vanity table and take a sit on the chair. The little girl was sitting on her lap as she is straddling both of Stella's legs. The lady hugging her against her chest as she rubs Aia's back to calm her down. But nothing seems to work, the little girl continues to cry.

"Darling, I'm sorry, you're okay. I'm here." Stella said as she starts to bounce the girl. She didn't get any response from her as she still cries. If she won't stop she will surely make her self sick.

"Sshh, everything will be alright baby girl, Mama won't let go of you." The lady tries to consoled her as she rubbed her back.

After some time the girl's cries turns into sniffles. Aia breaks the hug and wipe her tears. "Can you tell me what happened?" Stella asked her as she hold her chin up to look her in her eyes. The little one just shake her head no. Aia's afraid to tell Stella what is her uncle's decision about Stella being her caregiver, Aia just looked away.

"How can I help if you wouldn't let me know what is the problem?" She asked her.

Aia tried to looked into her eyes and Stella knows how much she is trying her best to speak. "It's okay, love. I'm all ears." She tries to convinced her.

"Because, because I know once you hear what happened, I'll never get to see you again." Aia responded. "And I don't want that." she added.

"But why is that? Why would you say that?" Stella asked her again.

"Stella, He is your boss. Whatever he say, I know you will listen." Aia said sadly.

"I would appreciate it if you will tell me what he said to you." Stella smiled at her and speak as she cupped Aia's face with both of her hands and rub her cheeks with her thumb.

The little girl took a deep breath then say "He said, he can't, he don't allow you to be my mama. That's unfair right? I hate him!" Aia said it with much sadness in her voice. The tears are starting to form again in her eyes. She hold both of Stella's wrist that is still holding her face still. Then the girl break down in tears again.

"I'm sorry, love. I will not going to let that happen, Aia." Stella wasn't suprised to hear it. She knows this will happen.

"I'm scared that I will never gonna see you again." Aia said as she cries. Stella gave her a sad smile and shake her head no then hugged her this time even tighter.

"I'm afraid, I'm really scared... I'm scared. Don't go? Don't leave me? Please? Please?" Aia begged her and said it in a low voice as she cried her heart out.

"Ssshhh It's going to be okay, Mi Amor" Stella give the little one gentle kisses on her head. "I won't leave you." Stella added. The lady stand up from the chair as she carries Aia and walked towards the bed. She put her down and instantly Aia curled up in a ball. Stella lay down with her and cuddle her from her back.

"You're safe, love, I will stay no matter what." Stella said to her as she hold her closer. Aia keeps on crying though.

"You'll be safe. You're with me, Aia." the lady said once again. Stella started to hum a song to help the girl to calm down. She rubs her arms and kiss her head one more time and she started singing the words slowly.

Nobody knows, just why we're here
Could it be fate or random circumstance
At the right place, at the right time
Two roads intertwine
And if the universe conspired
To meld our lives, to make us, fuel and fire
Then know wherever you will be
So too, shall I'll be

Close your eyes, dry your tears
'Cause when nothing seems clear
You'll be safe here from the sheer weight
Of your doubts and fears
Weary heart, you'll be safe here

Remember how we laughed until we cried
At the most stupid things like
We were so high
But love was all that we were on, we belong
And though the world would never understand
This unlikely union and why it still stands
Someday, we will be set free
Pray and believe

When the light disappears
And when this world's insincere
You'll be safe here
When nobody hears you scream
I'll scream with you
You'll be safe

Save your eyes from your tears
When everything's unclear
You'll be safe here from the sheer weight
Of your doubts and fears wounded heart

When the light disappears
And when this world's insincere
You'll be safe here
When nobody hears you scream
I'll scream with you you'll be safe here
In my arms through the long cold night
Sleep tight, you'll be safe here
When no one understands
I'll believe, you'll be safe, you'll be safe
you'll be safe here

Put your heart in my hands
You'll be safe here
