I looked around the room.. no sign of Lara or the other lady.. it’s okay man.. what happened? .. I asked.. he told me everything.. and I sighed..

I just hope nothing happens to Lara.. were could she be.. we called her dad to ask if she was with him.. but he said no.. we even called her several times but no answer…
Just then the door opens and Lara.. walked in, her eyes were swelled… Probably from too much crying.. Lara thank God you are okay.. I have been calling you but you weren’t answering… I said with relief.. buh she didn’t say anything.. Berlin walked to her and hugged her… It’s okay Lara, we are here for you..she said… And just then Lara broke down. ..she sat on the floor and started crying tiredly…I couldn’t bear it anymore.. I hugged her and cried as well…
Lara’s POV
I ran into my car and drove off.. I drove like crazy.. I was just driving with no destination in my mind..
I pulled over in a flyover… I came out of the car and.. as the wind hit my face.. I let the tears drop, freely..I had tried so hard to keep myself from crying in Jason’s house.. but I just couldn’t help it.. I was shattered again.. I can’t believe I actually gave him a chance.. Jason why… Where did I go wrong.. I hate you so much .. I hate Jason… I yelled….
Berlin’s POV
Lara has been moody for the past three days… And I hate seeing her like this.. she hasn’t been going to work.. we have tried so much to cheer her up but it wasn’t working.. Jason has been trying to talk to her, but we didn’t let him…
So I came up with an idea, I just hope it works… Lara let’s go on a three days retreat.. today is Thursday, so if we leave tomorrow .. we will come back on Sunday… I said excitedly.. yes.. how about we go to California.. Dassey asked.. that was were I gave birth to Mia.. Lara said surprisingly.. she suddenly stood up and shouted.. last person to finish packing pays for the flight… she said and ran upstairs.. I knew I would be the last so I called my secretary. ..hello..yea good evening Mary.. book a flight for the girls and i, we are going to California.. I said and hanged up..
*********************
Lara’s POV
We arrived in California and lodged in a five star hotel… I think the idea was perfect.. I don’t want to think about Jason.. I just want to have fun.. and that’s what we have been doing…
So today is Saturday.. and the girls and i are going to the mall… On our way in, I spotted a little girl running playfully towards the door.. but she slipped and fell.. I ran to where she was sitting and crying.. oh my.. am so sorry baby.. it’s okay, stop crying.. I said quietly.. she looked at me and stopped crying.. are you hurt? .. I asked looking at her body for scratches… No mummy..she said smiling.. I raised my head to look at her, did she just say mummy.. Dassey asked.. that’s what I heard.. Berlin said.. no, am sure she’s mistaking.. I said.. she looks like you though.. Dassey retorted…I looked at the child.. light skinned, straight face, long lashes, small red lips, pointed nose and sparkling brown eyes.. just then a picture of Mia pops up in my head.. uhm.. what’s your name dear?..I asked with a shaky voice.. she was about to answer.. when we heard someone yell .. Mia!.. I turned to see a familiar face.. walking towards us..
Lara!?
Nani?
We both yelled simonteneously..
