PROMISES

"C'mon jane don't be sad; you are finally going to get a family like you always wanted." Dina said as she caressed little jane's cheeks.

"But I don't want to stay away from you Dina." Jane's eyes were filled with tears and that broke Dina's heart.

"Don't cry jane, this is what you have always wanted, remember." wiping the tears that eventually fell from little jane's eyes.

"Promise me you will come visit often." Jane raised her pinky in the air with a smile on her cute face.

"I promise." Crossing her pinky with jane's own.

Dina took Jane to the office where her new parents were signing some important documents, stating that they were her legal guardian. After the documents were signed, Jane bid her friends in the orphanage goodbye and went away with her new parents.

"I will really miss her you know." said one of the workers in the orphanage.

"I already miss her." replied Dina trying her best not to cry in front of Molly.

"Molly have you contacted the couple who are supposed to come for Chris today." Looking at Molly's face with concern in her eyes.

"They are not going to adopt Chris anymore." Molly delivered the bad news to Dina.

"But why, they fell in love with him the first day they met him." Now Dina's tears finally fell from her brown beautiful eyes.

"They said they would not be able to take Chris because of his health issues." Molly replied sadly.

"That's why they should adopt him, so they can take care of him." Dina held Molly by the shoulder and shook her a little.

"I know Dina but you are aware of his health condition, aren't you." Trying to make Dina understand the situation.

"SO!! He has pancreatic cancer and so what" sobbing quietly on Molly's shoulder while Molly is trying her best to coax her.

"Dina please stop crying now, everything will be alright okay." stroking Dina's hair softly.

"You think if I had enough money, I wouldn't adopt him and show those shameless people what they lost by not taking him." sobbing continues…

"I am sure if you had more than enough money, you would adopt all the children in this orphanage no doubts about that. "

"Okay, enough with the crying … ,let's get back to work now." Dina wiped her tears and straighten up.

"That's what am talking about girl." Molly cheered Dina happily.

"We have to try our best to find a couple that will adopt Chris regardless of his condition."

"And it has to be fast because the orphanage is not capable of paying his medication bills anymore due to the increase in price of his medicines" Molly is now looking very anxious."

"Yes I heard about that yesterday."

"How are we going to go about this now." Molly asked Dina curiously.

"Sincerely I have no idea Molly" pacing back and forth with her hands on her waist."

"We already promised the management to find Chris a family before the end of this month or else his medication will be suspended for a while." Dina commented.
