DOCTOR STRANGE

3

We freshen up and have our dinner. We slept early since we were tired. Reema said she had some plans for us tomorrow morning. She didn't tell us though. She seemed excited. There must be something good in her plans for us.

In the morning we got up. I and Reema make the breakfast and we all had it together before rushing off to wherever she is planning to take us.

The ride wasn't long. We reached there in about twenty minutes. I was still not sure why we are here. The way here was really pretty. The weather is soothing. And the air is mild. There is a freshness in the breeze. It's very cozy.

She parked the car in front of a big building. It wasn't really an hour it was like a big apartment. It had a big board but it was written in Japanese so I couldn't understand it.

"What place is this Reema?" I asked her.

"It is a foster home. My senior, who is also here doing the same thing I am doing, send me here to run a regular check-up on the kids here. I've been here before. The kids here are really adorable and we'll mannered. They are very loving." She said.

"Reema you know what we went through recently. It is really hard for us to be in a place full of children. It will be depressing for both of us. I don't think I should go." I wasn't really ready to face the reality of being too careless that I put my child's life in danger. I can't face looking at so many kids. It will only remind me of my I'll fate. My dead child.

"Trust me, Mary, this is what you actually need. You cannot run away from what is done but you can change it. You can face it. You have to face it. You can have a baby again it's not the end. The kids here will help you heal. And you can help me look after them the whole day. Looking at them you will forget every problem of your life. Have faith in me. I am a doctor, I can guarantee this one thing to you. What do you think John?" Reema tried and convince me and John to spend some time with the kids of this orphanage.

"Honey I think she is right. I know you are sad because we lost someone precious to us, believe me, I am also sad but I think spending some time here will help us to move on. We have to get our lives back. We should do it. Trust me. If you feel uncomfortable we will go back immediately. Okay?" John tried to convince me. But when he did, I actually thought it was a good idea. I cannot be depressed like this for my whole life. I have to move on. It might help me.

"Okay, I think I can do this." We went inside the orphanage. It was nice. Clean and pretty. We first went to the office there. Reema wanted us to meet the caretaker of the kids, Ms. Yamazaki Aiko. She was in her office when we went inside.

"Ms. Yamazaki, can we come inside?" Reema asked knocking on the ajar door.

"Please come inside sensei. I was waiting for you. The kids were eager to meet you. They liked playing with you last time you came." She was coming towards us.

"The pleasure is all mine. I love spending time with them. That's why I am here again."

Reema and ms. Yamazaki was conversing when Reema introduced me to her.

"Ms. Yamazaki, I've bought my friends with me. They came from the US yesterday. They wanted to spend some with the kids too. They love kids just like we did. I hope it's okay." Reema indirectly asked for her permission.

"Of course, kids love it when someone comes here to meet them. They will surely be happy. They are having their breakfast in the dining area. You can see them there." She told us.

"Okay, then we will go now and introduce us to them. After I'll do their checkups." Reema said.

"Sure, come I'll show you the way." Ms. Yamazaki said showing us the way to the dining hall.
