Pure Heart

When Lelia came out of the company she stopped by the store to buy some fruits for her Mother.

The store was beside the company. After she brought some fruits she came out and started looking for a cab when she felt someone tug her dress.

Lelia was starlted. She looked down and saw a little boy was holding her dress. He looked around five or six years old. His clothes were poor and looked pale.

Lelia got on her knees.

"What happened baby? Are you lost?" Lelia asked him softly.

The boy shook his head in answer.

Lelia cupped his face and smiled.

"Don't be afraid. I will take you to your parents. Tell me where are they?" Lelia asked in baby voice so the boy could feel comfortable.

The boy pointed at a lady who was holding a box collecting money.

"Is she your Mother?" Lelia asked him

The boy nodded and started pulling her.

Lelia stood up and followed the boy. When the reached the spot the lady explained everything. Her husband had an accident and need an urgent operation. But they had no money.

For the operation she had to come down on road to beg.

Lelia remembered that day her Father and She went to her Grandfather to beg money for her Mother's operation.

"Can you help us? I don't want to lose my Daddy, please" The boy spoke up holding Lelia's hand.

Lelia's eyes turned watery. She could feel their pain as she also went through it.

Lelia took out her purse. She took out everything she had and put them on the boy's hand.

"I am so sorry honey, I just had those but don't worry everything will be okay. God will surely help you"

The boy nodded and gave the money to his mother. The lady thanked Lelia. Lelia gave the fruits to the boy. The boy thanked her.

Lelia smiled as they walked towards others passer-by for help.

Lelia put her empty purse inside her bag. She kept looking at them for some time then started walking.

Aware of the fact that two pair of eyes were looking at her.

"Why did she started walking? Wasn't she waiting for a cab?" Duke wondered

"It's like Ma'am gave everything to them" Mark spoke up.

"Go, check out the matter" Duke ordered.

"As you want Boss" Mark went to the lady.

Duke was waiting at the signal when he noticed Lelia at the road side probably waiting for a cab.

Then he noticed the scene.

"Sir, the lady's Husband had an accident and needed urgent operation but the cost was beyond their capacity. They are collecting money for the operation" Mark informed

"Settle down everything" Duke ordered. Lelia wanted to help them, right? Then he will help them.

Mark nodded and left from there.

Duke ran his fingers through his hair. After looking at the scene it was clear that Lelia had no interest in money. She had no greed for it then why did she requested for advanced payment?

Did she find the apartment unworthy to live?

Did she want to move out?

Is she going to live alone?

"If I give her office quarter will she move out?"

Duke felt headache.

"Boss, everything is solved. The man will get operation tonight" Mark informed him

"Get all information on Lelia. I want to know how her family treated her" Duke leaned and closed his eyes.

"You will get it tomorrow" Mark said and emailed the informer about the job.

After leaving from there, Lelia went to the Hospital to check out her Mother. When she reached there, her Mother was sleeping.

"Congratulations dear. I am so happy for you'' David was happy for her daughter."Winters Group is a powerful icon of business world"

"Yes Dad. I can't still believe it. It was my dream to work with company" Lelia smiled brightly.

"Your Mom will be happy to hear this" David said.

"How is Mom doing, Dad?" Lelia asked him

"Your Mom is doing well. Doctor said, she is getting better day by day. Very soon, they will discharge her" David said to her

Hearing this Lelia become nervous.

"How can I tell him, Grandfather wants us to move out"

"Is everything okay dear? Why are you looking upset? Is anything disturbing you?"

"Did he tried to harm her?" David was scared to hear this from her.

"Dad, what do you think about moving out of the house?" Lelia looked at her Father. She was nervous.

"Did anyone says something, Lelia?" David looked at her eyes. He knew his daughter well. There is no way she will bring it up unless someone pressed her.

"No, Dad. No one said anything to me. Dad, the house was never a good place for us. Mom, is weak now. What if Aunty or Lilly showed up and tell Mother everything about Liam and my marriage? I am scared how she will react to this! I don't want she blamed herself for all this.

"Lelia, what did they say?" David asked again.

"Grandfather wants us to move out" Lelia's heart ached when she noticed the painful expression on her Father's face.

She knew how much her Father loved her Grandfather. He always respected him. He never complained when her Grandfather treated him badly. He didn't say a single word when her Grandfather taken away his position.

David was sad but he kept quiet.

"Don't worry about it. I will look for a place. Don't say anything about it in front of your Mom. I will handle this matter" David didn't want to involve Lelia in it.

"Dad, I wanted to get advanced payment but it was against the company rules. So, I was thinking to apply for a loan. Instead of looking for a rest apartment we can buy a small house. I will pay the installments every month from my salary"

"What do you think, Dad?" Lelia asked him

"No, dear. It is not a good idea and you are married now. You need to think about your married life. If you want a new home then buy it for you and your husband"

"Dad, Duke has a house. I have no problem live there. I want to help you Dad" Lelia said.

"I have some money dear. I will rent an apartment for now" David said when a nurse informed them Angelina gets up.

Lelia and David nodded and entered the cabin.
