Sophie's mom walked Sheya into the young lady's room. She gently opened the door and found her staring at the window.
The room was a total mess. The bed was filthy and there were some untouched foods on the floor.
" It's me, I came here to visit you. I'm so sorry about your lost.." Sheya said while she sat on the bed.
Sophie looked at her and gave a little smile.
" I'm sorry I didn't know you were coming, I should have cleaned my room if I knew that you'll be here." Sophie answered.
" Please remember that I am always here for you and my place is your place too. You can come back when you're ready. If you need more time alone, its okay. I missed you so much." Sheya reminded her.
She exited the room and said goodbye to her mom.. She gave her a little money. The old lady refused but Sheya insisted.
Sheya: What are your plans now?
Sophie's mom: I wanted to sell this house.. It has too many memories and I want to move on and live the remaining year of my life with peace and hopefully, happiness. I took care of my husband for more than a decade since he got sick.. It would be nice to imagine myself spending time with my grandchildren.. Karen's children.. they are getting bigger and bigger.
Sheya: What about Sophie?
Old lady: She's the reason why I can't sell the house. The two of us can't live in Karen's house.. it will be too much.. Karen asked me to stay with them but I can't leave poor Sophie.
Sheya: Sophie is welcome to stay with me.. if she wants to and if you will allow her.. I'm more than happy to look after her.. She took care of me.. I want to take care of her too.. if possible.
Old woman: I will talk to her when she is ready.. She was her father's favourite.. She's a daddy's girl.. Her heart is broken into thousand pieces.. but life must go on for everyone of us..
