DO YOU LIKE MY GIFT?

Leyla helped Dora to the sofa while Daniel strolled off to the kitchen to get her some drink.

" Come on, Leyla, tell me, how did this happen?", queried Dora, taking Leyla's hand in hers.

Leyla gazed down at her daughter and back at Dora with a faint smile, rubbing her hand over Dora's.

" Let's just forget this, Dora. I don't want to be visiting that again. It's really traumatizing and a horrible thing to witness", replied Leyla, completing her statement with tears in her eyes.

Dora hugged her, brushing her hand through Leyla's hair, consolingly.

" It's okay ,dear. Everything is okay now. I'm so sorry for bringing back such painful memories, okay. ( Pats Leyla's back )

Is okay, calm down now".

Leyla nodded in response. They broke away from each other. Dora dried Leyla's face with her hands and smiled.

Placing down the drink on the table, Daniel interrupted

" Here is your drink"

"Thanks", said Dora with a faint smile, reaching for the glass of juice.
