Tres Años Despues;

"I am not yet ready for a family." A lady said to his husband.

"But my family are asking for a grandchildren." The frustrated man replied.

"I know a solution to that Honey." The lady caressed the face of his husband.

"What solution?"

She smiled and; "Let's go to the orphanage, let's adopt a child." She then hold and pulled the hand of his man.

We arrived at the said orphanage, the gate welcomed us.

Orfanato; Hogar para niños that was engraven on the front gate.

We opened the gate and stepped inside, a nun has welcomed us.

"Buenas Dias, Mi Hermano and Herman."

"Sí." Her husband replied.

"What can  we do for you?" The Madrè asked.

"Can we take alook for all the childrens you have here in your orphanage?"

"Oh yes ofcourse come here, have a look in every room."

Me and My husband seperated our way, we look in every room, talked to every children but there is only one child that captured my feelings.

It's just that the feeling was so surreal.

"We would like to adopt this child." I said to the Madrè

She then agreed and my husband followed her to her office.

I was left with the child.

"What is your name my dear child?" I asked her.

"Mi Nombre Es Afia Delany Astrid."
She responded.

"Cuántos años tienes?"

(Translation: How old are you?)

"Tengo cinco años." She replied shortly

(Translation: I am 5 years old)

"Conoces a tus padres?"

(Translation: Do you know your parents?)

I saw saddness in her eyes.

She smiled. "Lo sé. Pero no puedo recordar sus caras ni sus nombres. Me separaron de ellos cuando tenía 3 años.

(Translation: "I know. But I can't recall their faces nor their names. I was been seperated to them when I was 3 years old.")

What a poor child.

" No te preocupes mi niño, voy a ser tu madre ahora. Voy a cuidar de ti." I then brushed her hair.

She smiled and hugged me.
