"Dad I'm going out ", that was the last thing that Angela said to her father before she ran away from home that day. She was on a quest, an adventure to find her mother. She had her savings to live on. On her room table she had left a note labelled for dad.
Angela turned off her phone as she was getting on the plane. She wasn't going to be the cause of her death. Finally, after a few hours of struggling to sleep while a baby on board was crying, the plane landed in New York city. She quickly boarded a taxi to an address on her cell phone. She had paid for an apartment that she would be sharing with someone about her age, about her height online. Lucky for her, it wasn't a scam. She had to fill a lot of questionnaires before she finally landed this apartment. All she needed now was a job. Back home she had a job working at a pre-school as she was done with college . She had just arrived at the address.
"Dad...Dad you have to see this, Angela 's gone dad", screamed Angela's younger sister, Anita catching the attention of both her dad and her brother, Adam. Then she ran to her father and read out the letter. Dear dad,
I'm off to find mom.
I'll be in New York City if you're looking for me,
have fun trying.
Ha ha ha
mwah.
Dad looked unbothered as he collected the letter from Anita. He just sighed and thought, "like mother..like daughter...why do they always run from me?". Then he spoke,"your sister will be fine, she can find her way back home if things get tough... remember the story of the prodigal son from the bible?...ok". Anita replied, "Mr. Victor Rodriguez, is that all you have to say?...your daughter is missing and you're saying that she will find her way back home", Adam with a worried look on his face asked, "who is going to give me my good boy allowance..., the allowance she gives me for being a good boy...my life is ruined...dad do you understand that she may never come back". Victor chuckled and said, "your sister will be fine...you can get a job instead of waiting on your elder sister to give you allowance, you're in high school now... she'll be back eventually... Just pray for her to find your mom".
"Hi I'm Angela Rodriguez your new roomie from San Diego... I'm also new in New York City so...if you could show me the ropes that would be good?".
