*at night*

They all were eating dinner and the table was filled with many dishes but except Aurora, no one was eating. Clara and Mia were debating and Mia was encouraging Clara to get married.  

Mia was encouraging her like an old mother.

Mia in a concerned voice " Clara he will protect you" 

Clara answered with a serious face," I can hire bodyguard"

" he will share your burden"

"I have a manager and secretary, they are performing their job faithfully " there was a smile on her face when she answered it.

"You can have your own family"

"I have aurora and you"

"He will be with you, even when you become old  and when you start looking like a potato"

"I will be a sexy granny ahahaha."

"Are you kidding "

Mia starts staring at her while her hand on her face as she is showing the white flag.

Clara with an irritating face," ok! If there are too many benefits of marrying then why don't you get married."

"I have my family "

" so I also have Aurora"

Aurora was just sitting there and listing their conversation frustratedly, they were treating her as air. Her eyes narrowed as she was irritated from their conversation.

Aurora shouted when she lost her patience," can you both eat silently"

They both looked at a 4-year old kid whose face was looking like a balloon and then they realized how annoying they were.

They both smile super awkwardly as they forgot about the kid.

****

After dinner, Aurora went into her room, so she can wake up on time.

She was in her deep thinking that ' she needs a father to safeguard her mother'

But man doesn't grow on trees so she has to find one soon.

She saw that people used to curse her mother because she is not married and now she wants to shut their mouths by finding a suitable father and a horrible smile appeared on her innocent face.

*****

Clara went toward Mia with a serious face. 

She normally doesn't behave like this unless there is nothing important.

Mia," what's wrong"

Clara asked without patience," Why don't you get married"

Mia answered claim, "I don't want .. I have Aurora "

Clara yelled, "if you get married. People will stop gossiping rubbish about you"

" Hmm. But I don't want to marry. It can hurt Aurora" mia explained in a calm voice 

" Aurora is mature than other children. She will--"

Before Clara could say something, Mia interrupted her "I don't want to share my love with someone else.. I left everything for my daughter. She is my only family "

" Hey, it will not happen …. That man ' Seb' he cares about Aurora and he is still single" Clara said in a tense voice.

" But I don't feel for him and I don't want to be in a relationship. They all do fake promises ... it hurts " Mia said in a weak voice as her heart was paining.

Clara bit her lower lip and said," ok" in a low voice and after some time she went into her room.

Mia left alone, she looked at the moon from the window and said," I have reached very far and now I don't have the courage to trust anyone…. I am sorry."

She mumbled sadly and there were tears in her eyes.

.

While looking at the moon she recalls how many times her father tried to kill her and in self-defense, she even killed a man… she was a person who hated to hurt people and now she had killed someone and she used to fight every day.

While thinking about this a word, "TRUST" comes out from her mouth unconsciously and while saying it a sad smile appeared on her face.

*In the morning*

Mai was making breakfast with supernatural speed, then she ran in Clara's room to wake her up as she had a meeting and then in Aurora's room.

They both demanded coffee.

She ran towards the kitchen to make a coffee.

" Gosh! My life sucks… " Mia shouted while staring at the burned omelet.

Aurora shouted," Mommy, I want a sandwich in breakfast"

Clara shouted," Mia, I want omelet for breakfast and I have to go soon, the meeting will start after two hours."

Mia in a shaky voice," ok" she starts working fastly.

She looked at Aurora who was waiting for her so that she could get ready for school.

Aurora," we are getting late mommy"

"Hmmm", she said while looking at the time.

She was running for things in the house.

Clara and Aurora were looking at her with a cute smile as they both are on a mission to make Mia married.

-------

*Flashback*

After talking to Mia, Clara went into Aurora's room to say 'Goodnight' but she found out that  Aurora was thinking something deeply.

And when Clara found out that Aurora also wants to make Married, a wide smile appeared on her face. 

They start assuming many ways to complete their' Mission Impossible '

After a long conversation, they both decided to get Mia in a relationship at any cost.

---------

#step 1 ( make her realize that she needs someone and for that, you have to increase her workload.)

Aurora shouted," mommy when will you give me clothes"

Clara," Mia, I am getting late … I have a meeting today"

Mia was working hard in the kitchen after giving a uniform to Aurora and she was sweating.

She announced," breakfast will be ready in 10 minutes"

Clara said with a shocked face," in 10 minutes, directors will kill me ...Do you want me to die"

Mia," mommy my hairs"

Mia was running like an ostrich in the whole house and she prepared Clara's breakfast and got Aurora ready for school, except Aurora's hair everything was done.

She took a deep breath.

Clara went out for her meeting and now Aurora and her open hairs were left.

.

"Mommy, we are late, today I have to go with my shabby hairs."

Mia looked at her and called the taxi so that she can fix her hair in a cab, while the driver can drive.
