*MALIYAH*
He placed his hand over his mouth looking shocked.
“Maliyah?Grace Orphanage…Mali..”He stuttered.
I nodded.”Yes…that’s me.Oh Lonny!”I squealed and we both closed the distance between us,hugging each other tightly.
“My God!How long has it been?You’ve grown so much.”He said,disengaging from me.
I think the last time I saw him was when I got adopted so that should be almost ten years ago.
“I can see you added a few inches.”He teased.
I smacked him.”I’m a lot more taller now.”
“You’re still called Maliyah,right?”
“Yeah,my parents didn’t change my name but I use their last name now.”
He shook his head still in disbelief.
This felt surreal as well.
Alonzo was one of the few older kids back then at the orphanage.Lonny is what we fondly call him.
