Chapter 34 - SEAM Foundation

Ayesha stared at huge gate and above it is the name of the foundation.

"SEAM Foundation" she read the name silently. "Brother, I have been properly taking good care of the only place you have built when you where still alive." she thought to herself.

"Aria we have arrived, you may go out now. We will just walk from here." she uttered as she faced Aria who is still looking at her. "Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked, Aria was looking at her weirdly.

"Nothing, I'm just amazed that you have keep this secret from me for so long." Aria answered her before going out from the car. "What is the meaning of SEAM?" Aria asked as they walked through the gates of the Foundation.

"Well it stands for our names, Spade Ezekiel-Ayesha Myne, this foundation was built when I was still 9 years old. My brother was the one who initiated to build this foundation without telling mother and father. But we asked for Grandpa's help and he helped as keep this as a secret. I didn't know why he wanted to build this and I didn't asked him anyway."

Ayesha and Aria where welcomed by the head mistress of the foundation. And some of the kids who are playing in the front yard also looked at their guests.

"Miss Ayesha welcome back." the head mistress greeted Ayesha with joy and she gave her a hug and then she looked at Aria. "It seems that you have brought a friend with you today." the head mistress said.

"It's nice to be back here head mistress, oh this is my best friend Aria." Ayesha introduce Aria to the head mistress.

"Good Afternoon head mistress." Aria greeted and the head mistress smiled at Aria. She guided both Ayesha and Aria inside the foundation.

"The other kids are playing in the back yard. The kids who are playing in the front yard where newly rescued by our people. They are still adjusting to their new environment." the head mistress said and she called one of the nuns to call the kids so that they could meet Ayesha and Aria.

"Head mistress, we are not going to stay for to long, I just came here to give you this." Ayesha handed a cheque to the head mistress. The head mistress looked at the amount and she looked at Ayesha and spoke, "Miss Ayesha this is to much." she said.

"You can use it to repair the whole foundation and buy some new appliances materials for the kids. I want them to live here like this is their home. And also I want to send some of the kids to school, they also need proper education." Ayesha stated and the head mistress thanked her a lot. The two continued talking while Aria is just listening to them, amazed by how Ayesha cared for this kids.

"Sister Ayesha!" a kid shouted that it took the attention of Ayesha and even Aria. The kid runs towards Ayesha's direction, he was followed by so many kids.

"Michael" Ayesha stood up and gave the young kid a hug. "I missed you so so much. You grew up pretty fast." she stated again and separated from the hug.

"I missed you to sister Ayesha. I'm a big man now." the young kid bragged to Ayesha.

"Yes yes you are a big man now." Ayesha agreed and looked at the other kids who are at the back of Michael.

"All of you didn't you missed me?" Ayesha said as she spread her to arms to hug the kids.

"We all missed you Sister Ayesha." all the kids said in unison and run towards Ayesha to give her a tight hug.

"I missed you all too." Ayesha hugged all of the kids. She's trying her best not to cry.

"Everyone, this is my best friend, her name is Aria. You can all call here, Sister Aria." the kids where happy to meet Aria and Aria was also the same.

"Sister Ayesha are you gonna sleep here?" Michael asked Ayesha.

"I can't Michael, I still have to go to school tomorrow. But I can stay for a few more hours if you want to play with me." Ayesha suggested and the kids jump with joy as they all headed towarda the back yard dragging Ayesha with them.

Aria and the head mistress of the foundation where the ones who are left inside.

"I know you have so many questions in your head right now Miss. Aria, I can answer some of it if you want." Aria was a little but startled when the head mistress spoke and she looked at the head mistress who is now warmly smiling at her.

"Head Mistress I just want to know how long has this foundation was built?" Aria asked out of curiosity.

"This foundation has been standing for almost 12 years already, Ayesha was still 9 years old at that time while her brother was 15 years old. I was also shocked at first when I knew their age. Their grandfather asked me a favor and that is if I could take care of a foundation built by his two grandchildren and I immediately said yes without even thinking of any payment or what. I am just moved by how thoughful Ayesha and her brother was towards other kids who are being neglected by their parents or relatives." the head mistress answered Aria's question, but she didn't told her the truth of what is the purpose why Ayesha's brother built the Foundation.

They walked towards the backyard. Aria could see how genuinely happy Ayesha is. The kids and Ayesha were just playing for one hour already. Aria called Ayesha, she told her that they should get going because it is also getting dark.

Ayesha bid farewell to the kids, saying that they would visit the foundation. Aria also bid farewell to the headmistress and to the kids. Ayesha drove the car back to the main highway.
