Start from the beginning
                                    

"puppy..." she smiles and looks at me. 

"yeah," I told her. 

She starts giggling and continue staring at them. 

Is there a lost child center around here or announcement? 

With the sound footsteps and people talking hearing announcement will be hard to hear. 

I hear a grumble. 

It wasn't my stomach. 

I look at the girl ignoring her stomach grumbling. 

"Are you hungry?" I ask her. 

She nods her head. 

"Let's get something to eat. I'm hungry too," I told her. 

She put her small hand onto my hand. I hold her hands softly and start walking to the food court. 

***************************************************************************************************

We went to a fast food and ask for kids meal. I order my food.  

She had apple slices, small fries, four piece chicken nugget and milkshake. 

Thankfully, it's cheap. 

As for me, I have cheeseburger and soft drink. 

The small girl munching her food. 

I'm eating and figuring out what should I do. 

I haven't hear any parent screaming their child name in panic. 

Did this parents leave the child on purpose? 

Impossible, this is a public place why would they do that? 

She looks well taken care of. 

They dress her up like a princess. 

"look! I got a toy," she said showing to me. 

"Yes, I see" I said. 

I can't ask her questions, she will only shrug or say something else besides being direct to me. 

"Where do you want to go next after this?" I said. 

Hopefully, she remember some kind of location she was in. 

She thought a moment hitting the toy on the table. 

"Santa," she said. 

That's right! 

There's a Santa Claus in the 1st floor for kids to tell him what they want for Christmas. 

"After we're done eating, we go see Santa," I said to her. 

"Yay!" She throws her hands in the air. 

She starts giggling and looks at me with those sparkles eyes. 

I smile. 

She's too precious. 

******************************************************************

She burped. 

"I'm full," she announce. 

"That's good," I said throwing out the food from the tray and put the tray on top of the garbage where all the trays are place. 

She held my hand once we walk out of the food court and down the escalator. She was bouncing up and down can't wait to see Santa Claus.

Once, we walk off the escalator.
