I have to go to China now.

Sunday; Midnight.

Mia was sleeping in her room.

Jenna came silently, "Get up Mia! Get up!" Jenna was trying to wake Mia up.

"Umm....Mom! What happened? Is everything alright?" After seeing her mom worried at midnight she sat up quickly.

"Yeah! Get up Mia! We're going." Jenna said and stood up from the bed.

"But mom! Where are we going at this time?" Mia asked.

"Come on Mia! We don't have time for discussions. I've packed your suitcase, the taxi is waiting outside." She held her through her arm.

"Mom!!! Okay okay I'm going. You calm down!" Mia got up from the bed.

They both sat in the taxi.

"Mom! Now can you please tell me where are we going?" Mia asked unknowingly.

"We're just going to the airport, and then you alone will go to China." Jenna explained.

"What!?? What are you saying, Mom? Why am I going to China? I don't want to go to China." Mia got surprised.

"Sir, please turn the taxi back to our home." Mia said to the driver.

"No, you go where you're going!" Jenna said to the driver.

"No. Mom! I don't want to go to China. Please Mom. And why are you sending me there!?" Mia was still confused.

"You want to know why am I sending you there so secretly?" Jenna asked.

"Yes mom!" Mia said.

"Then listen....( All the things that Mr. John were trying to do)" Jenna explained.

"Mom!!!No! My dad is not like this! He really loves me. He's just hard from outside but from inside he loves me a lot." Mia's eyes got wet.

"My baby! You have to accept this, that your so-called father just love money nothing else!" Jenna hugged her.

"But mom why, why am I so unlucky???" Mia was crying.

"You're not unlucky, your dad was just a bad chapter of your life. I'm sure your future will be as bright as the stars" Jenna comforted her.

"But, Mom! What will I do in China? I never visited there? I don't know anyone there. I just know some Chinese and nothing else. Also why are you not coming with me?" Mia asked a lot of questions in nervousness.

"At first, I have a friend in China. I've already talked to her she will give you a room for sometime but we can't depend on herself. You have to find a job there and will have to find a home for yourself. Secondly, I can't go there because I have to manage things here after you. The people that are behind you are not easy to handle." Jenna said.

"But mom! This is harmful." Mia got worried.

"A mom is not afraid of any danger if it is the question of her child." Jenna kissed Mia's forehead.

"This is some money that will help you there and also a new phone, you can't bring the old phone and sim card there because they can track you." Jenna gave her some money and a mobile phone.

After sometime;

"We've arrived!" the driver said.

After paying to the driver, they both got out of the taxi.

"I can't accompany you anymore, you may go now." Jenna said.

"Mom!!  I will miss you mom." Mia cried and hugged her.

"I will be in contact with you, also after handling everything here, I will also come to China, You go now." Jenna said.

"I'll wait for you, Mom." Mia's eyes were wet.

At the airport;

*The next flight to China is going to take off in 25 Minutes*

"I've always loved you dad, but what have I ever done wrong that you haven't loved me." Mia was thinking while walking. Her eyes were red.

She tried to stop her tears but she can't.

"Good bye, Sam. You are my first love. But people says that no one ever gets his first love." Mia cried, but now the tears in her eyes was for Sam.

The next day;

*Welcome to China*

Mia came out of the airport. It was evening.

She didn't know where to go. She just had the address that her mom had gave to her.

She decided to take a taxi.

She was standing on the road.

A taxi came, "Excuse me! Can you please drop me to this address?(In Chinese)" Mia asked the driver.

"Okay, Okay. Sit in the car!" The driver said.

Mia was watching the buildings and people through a window.

"We've arrived, little girl!" The driver said.

"Okay, Thank you sir!" Mia gave him money.

"Where are you from, little girl?" The driver asked.

"I'm from England." Mia replied nicely.

"Good good! But you're Chinese is very good." The driver said.

"Thank you so much sir that's because I love to learn different languages." Mia said and left the taxi.

It was a low class area with a lot of people.

There were no buildings there just some small houses.

The children were playing outside.

Mia decided to ask through some people about her mother's friend.

"Excuse me sir! Do you know Miss.Sheng Hua?" She asked to and old man who was selling some fruits there.

"Ah! Sheng Hua? No, I don't. There are many people here, it's difficult to remember everyone's name." The old man said.

"It's alright, Sir." Mia said.

"Let me ask to any woman here. Most of the women know other women in their neighborhood." Mia decided.

"You know that Sheng Hua! What kind of weird woman she is! She was wearing a red lipstick tomorrow. Ha Ha Ha!!! I mean just look at her age!" Mia heard a woman's talks and stopped.

"Yeah! Creepy old woman! Ha ha ha." Another woman said. "I was right, a women knew another women in her neighborhood very well." Mia smiled.

" Excuse me Miss! Can you please tell me where Miss. Sheng hua lives?" Mia asked to one of the women.

"Oh, That old creepy Sheng Hua! That's her home!" She pointed towards a house who was looking like a small and a very old one.

"Thank you so much." Mia thanked them.

"By the way, who are you? We haven't seen you before here." When Mia was about to go, the other woman asked.

"Actually, I'm her friend's daughter. I'm from England. I came here to visit her." Mia replied nicely.

"Oh, Okay." The women took a look of her and went to their own way.

Mia also came to Sheng Hua's house.

She knocked the door...after some time; a young girl opened the door. She was about 23,24 years old.

"Hello!" Mia said with a smile.

"Who are you?" She asked harshly.

"I'm Mia. I'm Miss Sheng Hua's friend's daughter." Mia replied.

"Oh..." She said.

"MOM!!!" She shouted.

Miya got scared at first then she calmed down.

"Some Mia is at the door." She said while shouting.

Her mom came, "Who Mia?" She asked.

"I'm Jenna's daughter. My Mom had talked to you." Mia replied.

"Oh. I remember now, come inside." Sheng hua said.

Their house was little and had a lot of things placed inside. There were only two people there.

Sheng hua and her daughter Sheng min.

"We only have a single room here, so you can sleep on the terrace, your mom said that you will only live here for some days it's easy for you to manage on the terrace." Sheng hua said while cooking something.

"Huh! Terrace?" Mia asked.

"Yes! Terrace Miss! We don't have space in our living room, not even in our room, you can spread a mattress just on the terrace." Sheng Min replied harshly.

"But what if it rained?" Mia asked.

"We have a little roof there, so there will be not much water of rain." Sheng min replied while watching TV.

"Ah! Not much water!!??" Mia thought.

"I'm going to sleep, Mom."

Sheng min went to the room and Mia came to the terrace with a Mattress.

It was a very broken roof on it also it was very cold there. "Hope so! It will not rain today." Mia thought.
