At the orphanage
The staff was left with no choice but to let Mia go when she saw Lakshmi's car driving towards them. She didn't quite agree at first but after much persuasion from Lakshmi she finally gave in.
"Please ma'am, my life depends on this right now" Lakshmi was being too dramatic even Mia found it amusing.
"Is any guardian going to be there? I mean your parents, will your parents be there?" The lady kept on questioning Lakshmi who clearly had no patience and endurance.
"Yes my nanny is going to be there, my parents are out of town for now" Lakshmi still kept her hands together and was pleading with the lady who was having quite a battle of different thoughts in her head.
"Okay but she will be back by Monday afternoon right?" The lady asked again and Lakshmi agreed to bring Mia back from school on Monday.
"She really loves you so much" Lakshmi told Mia once they were seated comfortably in the car.
