Hello and welcome back to Maria's story!
...2 years have passed...

Hello and welcome back to Maria's story!
...2 years have passed... "Hi, girls...How are you today?" I said to the little ballerinas standing in front of me. I was glad I could teach them, they reminded me myself in their age. So ambitious, so determined. Only Penny, one of the girls, kept away for some reason. "So let's start with the warm up" I told them and turned on the music. Penny didn't seem to be very happy about that. "Penny, what's wrong?" I asked her, "All the other girls started practicing already."
"I...I...I can't" Penny said. "Why can't you? Tell me, don't be afraid!" I tried to encourage her. "Well...I...I feel sick a bit" she said. I didn't really think she was feeling sick, but I told her she could sit and watch the others practicing. There was no point forcing her, I knew that. I was wondering what might be wrong with Penny, but there were 5 other girls who needed my attention, so I tried to focus on them. Half an hour later I noticed Penny was crying.
"Ok girls, it's enough for today. See you all next Tuesday!" I said and walked to Penny. "Penny, please, you know you can tell me anything, don't you?" I told her, "Take me as your friend"
"I...I'm...I'm fat." She finally said with very quiet, shaking voice.
"Who told you that?" I asked with surprise.
"The other girls...They always laugh at me"
"Oh, Penny...That's not true" "Really? You don't think I'm fat? " she asked and a smile appeared to her face.
"No, you aren't. The other girls probably just envy you. And don't forget, practice makes perfect!"
"I won't, I promise. Thank you!" Penny said..."Ohh, my mommy came!" "Mommy, mommy! I missed you!" Penny said and ran to her mother to give her a hug. After that they left, and Penny was looking much more happier than half an hour ago.
 It's amazing how much something that you say might affect the people around you. I took a shower and got ready to go home... I had been working here for 3 months and I really liked my job. I love children and I love ballet, so it's perfect for me. I had to get home fast, I was sure Aaron wanted me to babysit Mathias. ... "Hi, Mia! You're home already! Could you..." my brother started.
"Yes, of course...Not a problem"
I knew it! "Thanks, sis...I wouldn't ask you if I didn't have to go to the gallery...But someone is interested in one of my paintings, so.."
"That's great, Aaron! Go, I'll keep an eye on Matty!"
"Thanks...He's playing in his room...He just woke up so he might be hungry, but I really have to go to get there in time..."
"So go already, " I laughed "Just get home before seven, I promised to help mom and dad at the restaurant" "I will! Bye!" Aaron said and walked out of the door.
"Bye!"
At first I thought I would finish the sandwich and eat a bit, but I didn't want to leave Mathias alone for so long, so I decided to go and see what he was doing. Matty was playing in his room, happy as always. "How's my favourite nephew doing today?" I asked him. He just smiled at me and said "Iiiiiiiaaa!" "It's Mia, darling. MMMia!" It's so funny that he couldn't say 'Mia', it always made me laugh. I took Mathias to the kitchen and gave him his milk bottle.
"Tak yak!" he said. It should mean 'Thank you' in his language. Later I took him outside to play. Matty loved it there. And so did I...I know I'm 20 already, but does it really matter? My little nephew really loves Domino, the dog that my sister got me 2 years ago. I love him too, of course, both of them. I left Matty alone with Domino only for a minute or so, and when I got back I found him eating Domino's food. "What did you do now, Matty? Are you hungry? You just ate! Come here!" I told him. "Little piglet! Now we'll have to wash you!"
For some reason he was very happy about that. Well, he's always happy. I washed him and decided to put him to bed after that. "Are you sleepy, Matty? I think you are!"
"La!"
"La? You're speaking Arabic or what?"
"LA!"
"Yes you are, Mathias!" "Who taught you Arabic?"
"Ga-pa!"
"Grandpa! Of course he did! Ok, time to go to bed now, little one!"
"Laaaa!" Mathias said, protesting against going to bed.
 "Sleep well, Mathias!" I said, kissed him good-night and left. "Iiiiia!" When I went back to his room to check on him some minutes later, he was asleep already. I got myself ready to go to the restaurant.
"Sofia, do you have any idea how much I miss you?" I said to myself, looking at a picture of me and Sofi together. Two years had passed but I was still thinking about her every day, and although I could call her and sometimes even visit her, it wasn't the same. Luckily Aaron got home in time. And I drove to the restaurant. Many customers visit it in the summer, so mom and dad needed my help. I think I'm a great servant. I've done this job for so long already... The evening was usual, I was serving the customers...until... ...I saw him... "Ben???"

To be continued...
