Chapter 8. Lost Her Sunshine (1)

FLASHBACK

Five years ago…

Lia and Mila decided to go out today and go shopping. Their mother's birthday was fast approaching, and they wanted to get her something special.

They were already inside the mall, and as they roamed around, a luxurious bag with an 'L' logo caught Lia's attention. She asked Mila about it, and the latter agreed to purchase the bag.

"For sure, Mom will like it. She loved bags so much!" Mila said with excitement. "I mean, Mom always told us that she loved everything we gave her."

"She always cherished everything valuable to her," Lia delightfully added.

"Yeah." Mila, thumbs up. "But wait… I just thought of something…."

"What was that?" Lia asked, confused. She stopped and glared at Mila. 

"I guess we should buy something for ourselves, too," Mila said and started to look around. 

"We can't go back home without bringing something for us. It would be a waste, as we can't always go out like this."
