"Mommy ...!"Amelia's voice broke the silence of the house. The voice that I miss. The house immediately feels alive.I'm on the top floor, and immediately left the room. The sound of footsteps running up the stairs seemed impatient. I miss her so much, miss her smile, laugh, whine, and even scream.Amelia, you are now my daughter."Ameeel... !" I shouted too.We ran towards each other, just like a scene in an Indian movie. We hugged each other and I rained kisses on his chubby cheeks."Mom..." she whispered softly.Her head was buried in my chest."Finally, I can call you mommy," she added softly.Her words made my chest constrict with emotion, my tongue was numb and my eyes started dewy. This girl really wants the love of a mother. I promise, I will love her like my own daughter."You Miss Amelia?!" she said hoarsely, there was a muffled sob there. Her face was getting hidden in my arms."Honey, Mom is already here, why are you crying? You're big now, you can't be a crybaby!" I said

Today, they have a day off and celebrate our arrival.The event starts immediately.Greetings and introducing me as Mr. Kusuma's wife.Seeing them, implied great hope on their faces.
