Between school, work and volunteering Amora didn’t have much time to see her beloved daughter, Aera. Most of the time, Aera was at daycare or playing with the children at the orphanage where Amora volunteered or she was at home napping. Her daughter was all she had in her life and it broke her heart to not be able to spend every waking moment with her.
On one particularly clear and sunny day, Amora came to the decision to take the day off from work and school to spend the day with her tiny daughter. Their destination was none other than O-world. Going to an amusement park was the first for the both of them. As a little girl herself, Amora had been promised a trip but with her mother’s passing it became a forgotten thought.
Now was the perfect time to go; the weather was perfect and the two desperately needed to spend time with each other. While Aera was too small to ride most of the rides, it didn’t stop her and Amora from enjoying the ones they could go on. Sure, a big roller coaster would be fun but the little kiddie rides weren’t so bad, especially after hearing her daughter’s pure and genuine laughter.
About half way through their day at the park, Aera had wanted a balloon. She had seen another child carrying one and begged Amora for a big bright yellow one. It took a while for them to find the balloon stand but of course she had no problem pulling out her wallet to make her daughter’s day that much better. “You have to hold it tight so it doesn’t fly away.” Amora warned as they started to make their way to get lunch.
That’s when it happened. Of course her daughter’s tiny little hands would soften up on their grip, allowing the string on the balloon to slip right out of them. “Mommy my balloon!” she cried out. Tears were already forming in her eyes and Amora was not going to let her daughter go without that balloon. “Hold on, stay right here! I’ll go get it for you!” Without thinking, Amora dashed off in the direction of the balloon. Luckily for her, it didn’t get too far or go up too high and she was able to grab it.
She turned around and headed back to the spot she had left her daughter, which wasn’t very far. “Here, I got it! Don’t cry~” she said to her daughter, who she expected to be right in that very spot. However, she wasn’t. Amora’s heart began to race and her eyes widened as she quickly looked around. Aera was no where. “Aera?! Aera!!” She searched around the area, hoping her daughter had gone to sit down without thinking but to no avail.
“Excuse me have you seen my daughter?” “Sir have you seen a little girl around here?” “Ma’am you haven’t seen a little girl wondering around by herself have you?” She frantically asked everyone she saw but to no avail. None of them had seen the little girl and Amora felt like she was going to be sick. How could no one have seen her? What if she somehow got out of the park? Could no one help her?
