"Don't leave me... Please do not leave me... I am afraid... They are after me... No... no... Please... please... do not leave me alone..." Grace hugged Tina and started to wail out aloud.
Tina had never seen her mother so broken before and also Grace had never cried for anything. But today, Tina realized that her strong mother is also a normal human being. She could also break at one point and cry out aloud forgetting all about her lady-like appearance.
"Mom, It's ok. It's ok... Everything is fine now and you are back home... That's all it matters. Now stop crying and relax a little bit. Take a deep breath. You have nothing to worry about… I am here for you and I would never leave you… I promise," Tina said and hugged her back without minding her filthy appearance.
