At the entrance of the hospital, crowded with a lot of people as well as patients and some hospital staff.
Tina stood there at the entrance zoning out for a while.
'Paminig... ' Ming's cold behaviour and his harsh words covered with a smile was like sugar coated candy with poison in it. She couldn't get it out of her mind and whenever she closes her eyes, ming's face comes to her mind with his thorn like words.
She tilted her head and gaze with sorrowful eyes, towards the window where Wendy's room located and thought inwardly, 'Are you trying to tell me that you have made a choice?'
She try to figure out the meaning behind his behaviour but the constant appearance of of his cold face made to realise of one thing and that is, Paiming has decided to stay with Wendy forever.
She bit her lower lips, straighten her head to clear her mind and to cure her trembling heart which already had cracks on it but it was useless,
'Maybe, that's better....'
Now that she think back, Paiming seems happy around Wendy and she also blooms like a flower when paiming is around.
'Wendy loves him with all her heart.... Paiming should be happier with her...'
And when she thought about her own meetings with timing in recent days there was maybe a little happy moments but most of the time she just hurt his feelings.
'I always.... Hurt him...'
She tilted her head down and frowned her eyebrows upward looking at the ring in her finger, which usually glow like stars, is now dim. Like its glow also faded along with Paiming's love.
She took out the ring and with it stream of of tears started flowing from her red eyes, 'I should give this ring back to him..'
Suddenly a drop of tear fell on the ring which she kept in her hand and was staring at it.
And she realised that she is in a public place then she immediately close the hand in which she was holding the ring and also wiped her tears.
A few moments later she stopped a Cab, got inside but she didn't know know that where she shall go now.
The cab driver looked at her with a smile and was waiting for her to tell him the destination.
'Where should I go? Where else can I go?' She thought for a moment and a place came to her mind, "Charity Orphanage, please."
The driver straightened his head after hearing the destination and replied in a gentle tone, "Are you going to visit the children there? Lady you are so kind!"
On hearing his question she tilted her head aside and mumbled to herself, "No. I'm just going home.."
..................
Birds were chirping on the tress, sunny day, a faint gust of wind and greenery around the entrance of the orphanage was giving such a positive vibe.
A taxi stopped at the front of the main gate, Tina opened the door, came out and gently pushed the door back.
It was already been a few weeks since she last visited here, she had a lot of problems with her relationship, her job and there was also the case of Wendy.
Tina gazed at the old but strong building of the orphanage for a moment, as she was remembering her old days when she lived here with other kids and after growing up, she worked hard and also visited this place every Saturday or Sunday to play with the children.
Those were peaceful days.
While she was walking towards the building her gaze fell on the children, who were running towards her with their tiny legs and big smile on their faces.
"Sis Tina!"
"Sia Tina is back!"
Tina lowered her body, spread her hands wide open to give all of them a big hug.
The children got all cozy feeling Tina's arms around them and their smiles got even bigger as they looked up to her smiling face.
"Tina!"
Suddenly she heard a familiar voice, a voice filled with motherly love and warmth which she could never forget in her lifetime, as she looked to see Mother Xia.
"I'm back mother..." She said with mixed feelings in her heart.
Mother Xia gave her a warm smile and then took her inside the building.
"Mother, don't you ask me how I come back suddenly?" She asked in a low tone because Mother Xia didn't asked any questions about why she was gone for weeks without visiting and now came back so suddenly.
"My Child!" Mother Xia said in the same humble and gentle tone, "This is your home, the door is always open for you!"
On hearing her kind words, Tina forgot her troubles and immediately embraced her and leaned her head on Mother Xia's shoulder.
"Thank you mother!"
Mother also patted her head like she was her own child, "Oh my child"
"By the way, there's an important guest in the yard. I want you to meet him." Mother Xia took her to the back yard.
Tina had a confused expression on her face, along the way.
Mother Xia stopped at the entrance of the yard, "He's right behind that door!"
Tina pushed open the door, the bright rays of sun fell on her, the greenery around the yard with lots of children playing there and there was a certain man, who was among the children, crouched on his knees and was telling some stories to the children.
Tina was startled at the sight of this, she never thought that a person like Jim would come here but at the same moment her heart felt happy to see him.
