Mona POV

I ran as fast as my stubby legs could take me as tears flowed down my face. Everything hurt like hell. I finally decide to stop as I yell out in frustration. Why did everyone hate me? I look up to the sky and watch as the raindrops slowly comes towards me.

Where was I going to go now?

I slowly walk to the park bench, my head throbbing. my legs aching.

I take a seat while the rain pours down on me, I slowly close my eyes bring my legs close to me.

Darkness, that's all I see.

Rodriguez POV

I look out the window as my car drives bye. My eyes burn as I recollect many of today's event.

My son is gone.

My light is gone.

I grasp the wine bottle and take another swing. My mind scattered with thoughts.

That's when I spot a figure on the park bench. I squint my eyes for a better view. It was a small kid. Her legs were brought up to he chest and her eyes were closed.

"Stop the car," I say loudly.

As the car comes to a halt. I get out of the car to check if the kid is okay.

My driver follows closely behind me holding the umbrella.

As I near the kid I see that she's passed out her body shivering from the cold.

"Sir, I think it's best to take her to the doctor," my driver says.

I look at the kid, my eyes scan her face. A strong urge to protect her overwhelms me.

I immediately lift her up and walk towards my car.

"I'll take her to Matilda."

My driver nods and I slowly take off my suit and cover her up.

As we drive of my eyes bore into the kid's face, maybe this is a sign from God. Maybe she is the light I need.

Never would I have thought that she would become my Hija Preciosa.
