chapter 19

Aria's Point Of View,

"What happened when I was not around, did anyone try to hurt you, tell me what happened", I asked her as I looked at her teary eyes, my heart was beating damn fast as I was thinking that something wrong might had happened with her, that is why she is looking so damn upset.

Mary's Point Of View,

I still feel that it is a dream for me, this life is just like my dream life, I do not believe that I am living it for real, things are so different from reality, I just do not know how should I thank god for this new life and the most important part of my life is Aria.

She is treating me like a real sister and I do not know how I would be able to say enough thank to her coz there is no way that I can repay her kindness, what she is doing for me is something so rare, blood sisters does not do this at all, I consider myself so lucky to have her in my life, I am so lucky that she came back to her home and she found me.

When I was small it was my dream to go to the mall and do shopping with my friends, but it was far away from my reality of mine, so in my wildest dream I never thought that I will go to the mall, but Aria is like an angel to me, she gave me her dress to wear, and she took me mall for the shopping, my eyes just got wide to see that mall, it is so damn pretty and I am so amazed to see this, I do not know how should I react right now.

"You can choose anything you want, okay", she said to me and I nodded my head, I started exploring things when Aria said that she would come back soon and I should continue choosing dresses I want, I did not want her to leave me coz I did not like to be alone in this strange place, I feel like everyone here was looking at me with strange eyes and I did not like this, I do not like when I am centre of attraction coz they laugh at me and I do not like it.

Still, I tried to keep calm and I kept looking down and started searching for new dresses, more than that I was finding Aria, I am not liking it here without her, so I did not understand where did go, I was holding some dresses I thought they would look good on me, but seems like I went to the wrong direction, the moment I took a step the other side, a weird type of siren started with a red light and some men came to me.

"Who are you and what are you doing, you were stealing all these dresses right", they accused me and I started getting scared, how the hell they could think of me as a thief, why would I do that.

"No, you are getting me wrong, I am not a thief, I am here with a friend for shopping", I said to them but they did not believe what I said.

"Oh really, then where is your bag, show me the money or any bank card you have", he asked me and I started looking down, I do not have any money, nor any bag, I came here with Aria, she is the one who is holding the bag, I was feeling so humiliated and I wanna cry so badly, how the hell they could think me as a thief, in my whole life I never did such a thing no matter how badly I needed anything.

"My friend is having the bag, I do not have anything and please trust me, I am not a thief", I said and tears rolled down my cheeks.

"Just coz you are wearing a nice dress that does not mean that we will spare you, how dare you to try to steal these dresses from here", he said to me held my hand and my heart was beating so damn fast, I do not know what to do now, I was crying and all I want to see is Aria, where did she leave me alone here.

"How dare you accuse my girl", I heard a deep, husky voice but I did not dare to look up, I was still so scared that who it could be.

"She is with me, how dare you treat her like that", a guy came and he just held my hand and get rid of the other hand.

"I am sorry sir, we did not know that she was with you, she was going from this way without going to the counter so we thought that she is a thief or trying to steal it", the guy said and I was still looking down.

"Apologize to her right now", the guy demanded and that is when I looked up, my heart started beating so damn fast and I just gulped hard, do not know what the hell I should say and react, he is so damn handsome and his sea-green eyes, my heart is gonna come out from my chest.

"We are so sorry madam, we misunderstand you", they apologize to me and I just did not say anything, they left and the guy was still standing there looking at me with a small smile on his face, I am feeling so fucking embarrassed, does not know what to say, he came close to me and softly caressed my hair.

"Do not cry like that, learn to take a stand for yourself, be strong and be bold my girl", he said with a smile and left from there, I was still shocked, do not know how to react at all.
