90. A GIRL I KNOW

Even though I wasn’t supposed to visit the orphanage at that moment, I had to visit the orphanage the next day. Immediately I sighted Pureza, I ran over to check his shoulder to see if there was no new spots that were different from the ones he had before I left the last time.

“Aunty” he called out slowly with a cute voice and my mouth hung open in surprise.

That was the first time ever he opened his mouth to say a word ever since I had been visiting him. He preferred silent gestures and expressions that I would understand instead of talking and seeing how he called my name, I was almost moved to tears.

Trying to control my emotions, “Oh baby, how are you doing?” I said back at him and he responded with a cute smile lurking on his lips

“I am fine”

I patted his shoulders after pulling his cheeks slightly and said “You are now a grown cutie. Let’s talk more from now on”

He nodded in response and we both walked back to the open field where I spread out all the delicacies I brought for
