SHOCK:

Ana:

That day I was with the gang at my house when a phone call came. Ray picked up the phone

"Hello"

"Ya Ray here"

"Who?"

"What ?" Ray's face goes pale. What could be so bad? I don't know but I guess it's something bad. My gut instincts tell me.

"But …"

"Let me get this straight this can't happen.." What is going on? What can't happen?

"No I wont"

"But why?"

"Can't anybody else manage it?" I can't hear what the other person is saying but I can tell by Ray's expression it's too bad.

"huff.. give me time to think"

"Yes..yes"

"I will get back to you "

"Wait …how long did you said ?"

"What ?"

"I will inform you about it ."And he slams the phone.

"Kids I will be right bad anyone of you will not get out of this house until I myself or Greys come to pick you " we all nod.

Ray:

I don't know how am I going to handle this but I have to , but how am I supposed to do it ? What will Annie think of me? And I can't stake here future after all I love her and she is my only daughter . I will have to get this straight I will first have to talk to Greys.

"Bye bye Annie take care and don't trouble them we can meet when you have holidays and remember daddie always loves you I will be back as soon as I can ."Ana is crying bitterly but I can't help it. Greys have been very accommodative. Ana is extremely lonely first our dog Fluffy died of food poisoning and now I have to leave my daughter. I have not exactly told her how much time it will take and now where I would be I don't have any communication services .. I will be at the borders.

I feel lonely my daughter will grow very big in these five years . She will be a woman when I will meet her . Of course I will be sending money for Ana back here. I wish I am forgiven.

Back when Ray left his home:

I don't know how but all I can do is take their help they are wonderful neighbors and they like her and they are the only ones who can help me.

I press the bell. Mrs. Grey opens the door.

"Hello Ray .Come in"

"Would you like some tea?"

"No , thank you actually I wanted to talk to you and Carrick on an extremely important matter"

"Okay. I will call Carrick "

When they both arrive I tell them the situation at hand.

"Ray don't worry she is like Mia to us. We will happily do that after all she has done so much for us."

"Ray being a mother and a doctor I would suggest that you don't tell her how long you would be away. You won't have to worry we will take good care of her."

"She is ours now."

I am glad that Greys agreed. I thank them they don't know how much it means to me.

Ana:

I cried a lot when Ray spoke to me about his transfer .I also wanted to be with him but he was not ready to take me with him. Now I feel lonely I have no one now Fluffy died and now dad went away and mom is already too distant. I feel lonely and scared in the new surroundings though it's not new but they are my family for now I don't know how long though.
