Lia got to the airport in a hoodie the next day. Her father was there to see her off.
"I don't want to hear any tantrums in France," he said. "Just keep quiet."
Lia didn't say anything. She was being forced to France, and she knew she wouldn't be coming back.
"Bye to you. And do not try to come back till I said so. If not, you are going to face the consequences." With that, Mr Thompson turned back and left.
She boarded the plane, tears rolling down her cheeks. The plane took off a few seconds later.
"Mr. President, Miss Thompson has departed on her travels today," the man from earlier, definitely his assistant, said.
The man sitting in the swivel chair seemed taken aback. "To where?" he asked. His reserved composure turned agitated.
"Her destination is unknown. She was sent to France, but she took a detour and disappeared, unbeknownst to her father. We don't know where she has gone." The assistant explained.
The president clenched his fists in anger.
"Really, she left after what she has done to me?" He asked unbelievably.
The assistant left his head bowed.
It was 2024, five years later.
Lia stood in the airport, dressed in a chic, designer outfit, holding the hands of her two young children - a boy and a girl.
They were a sight to behold, and people in the airport couldn't help but marvel at the children's beauty. "Wow, are they your kids? They're so beautiful!" one passenger exclaimed.
"Wow, your kids are tempting me to have my own kids too." Someone said.
"What nonsense are you saying? First have your husband, but make sure he is so handsome, or else, your kid won't be like them at all." Another lady said.
"Fine. Fine. I will make sure I have a cute hubby to get a beautiful kids." The second lady said with a smile.
Lia felt a surge of pride. She was a single mother, and her children were the product of a one-night stand. Despite the unconventional circumstances of their conception, she still loved her kids.
As Lia held her children's hands, a memory flashed through her mind of that fateful night five years ago. She was out with her friend at a bar, having a few drinks because of her boyfriend who cheated on her with her best friend. She had never imagined that she would meet someone that night who would change her life forever. She got to Russia and realized that she was pregnant. The ridicules she faced was not small.
As she reminisced, she was brought back to the present by the sound of her children laughing. She smiled as she looked down at them, grateful for the joy they brought into her life.
She stopped a cab and entered it.
As the cab pulled out of the airport, her children looked out the window in awe. "Wow, New York is so amazing, Mommy!" her daughter, Rihanna, exclaimed.
Just then, her phone rang. It was her friend, Mia, calling.
"Hey! I hope you've arrived at the airport safely?" she asked.
"Yes, I'm in a cab right now. Where do you want me to drop you?" Lia replied.
"You can just let the driver take you to Central Park. I'll meet you there." Mia said.
