"Lets go ....". Aunt sophia take Mia with her outside the house..
"Where are we going aunt". Mia asked while holding aunt's hand and following her.

Aunt sophia was her father's first cousin. She lived very far away from them so Mia only meet her once in a year. After her real mother she was the lady that loves Mia alot. She really cares for her. And Mia knows.

"You will know soon". Aunt answered without looking at Mia.

They were going to the lake side. The place where they all come when her mom and dad were alive. She  was really happy seeing her favourite place.
"Aunt you still remember this place". Mia asked her aunt in joy.

"How can i forget this." Aunt Sophia gave her a beautifull smile.

As they reached the place mia was really happy to see its still the same as when she was young. She rushed to the big old tree.
"Wow.... its benn a long time i haven't come here". Mia was really happy as she take a deep breath and let the fresh air feel her...

She forget to come here because of her mother. She was really busy in her step mother's order and all the work that she has to do alone.

"Mia look whats hers." Aunt Sophia pointed to a direction. When Mia noticed she yelled with joy....
"Ohhh...... aunt sophia you are the best aunt ever." She ran and hugged her tightly...
There was a surprise for Mia like old days there was some delicious things to eat on the ground upon a matt...
