1 Prologue

It was a broad corridor of a mall. It was filled with people loitering around all over the place. People moved around with bags and couples held hands and walked around without noticing anything else happening around then.

On one corner, a girl was sitting. She had a jean and baggie t-shirt on. She was sitting on the ground. Her knees were pulled up and her head rested against the wall behind her.

Her expressions conveyed her agonizing grief in its cruel form. Tears kept tumbling one after the other quietly. But nobody noticed her.

Right then a very little girl tumbled and approached the crying girl.

She wore a pink frock with two pony tails swaying with her.

She reached with her tiny finger and wiped her tears and asked, "Are you scared?? Don't cry. I will give you Mr. Gwampy. He will protect from the monster." Her voice was very soft but her words were clumsy. She then extended her torn teddy bear and stuffed it into the crying girls arms.

The elder girl quickly wiped her tears looked up. She was met with a pair of warm brown eyes. It took a while for her to take her eyes away from the sparkling ones in front of her. Once she came out of it she asked softly, "Hey princess, where is your mummy??? Did you wander off on your own?"

"My mummy is in heaven." The little girl replied instantly with a sad smile and her little fingers pointed upwards.

The elder one was surprised at first. She did not know how to respond but then after a while she mirrored the little girls smile and said, "Mine too. I just miss her."

"My mummy said whenever I missed her, I shouldn't cry. But give her a big smile so that she can watch me smile from heaven. She said I have to be mommy's brave little girl and make her proud as she watched over me from heaven." The little girl replied in her childish voice and once again reached out to wipe the tears of the elder one.

But before the elder one could respond, a man frantically approached the little girl.

The little girl ran towards the man bellowing, "Daad."

"How many time I have told you to not to go by yourself??" the man scolded her but hugged her closed to himself in her arms.

The elder girl stood up and took a last glace at the father- daughter duo and walked away mutter to herself, "Mom… Dad… I am your brave little girl. Watch over me. I am going to make you proud."
