Regretted Rejection : Wrath of the Moon

In the morning, Maya came to know from Marina all that had happened in the meeting between Dylan, Forrester family and Lockhart family. She was grateful to her brother for finally taking a stand for her sake. But at the same time she knew that their relationship could never return to what it was.

Claire was Ken's soul mate and he cannot leave her simply because she hurt Maya. As his twin she understood that it must have pained him to take this decision as he implicated his own mate. So, as thankful as Maya was to him, she still couldn't be together with him. She wished him luck in her heart.

As she stepped out of her room, a small body collided with her legs and held on to them. Maya looked down to see Sam hugging her legs tightly and looking at her with eyes filled with tears

"Hey Sam, what's wrong?" Maya asked him. She crouched in front of him. Sam didn't say anything and gave her a hug. His tears were making her feel distressed. She patted his back slowly till he got a better hold on his emotions to speak.

Sam said, "Aunty Maya, I am sorry. I... I have heard everything. Mommy and Daddy hurt you badly. That's why you said you are not my aunt and you are leaving me too. Please don't go away. Mommy and Daddy are leaving me as well. I... I..." He burst out in sobs without completing his words.

'When did he develop such deep feeling for me? Are all kids like this?' Maya thought. She patted his back gently, not knowing what to say.

"Sam..." Ken called. He was searching for Sam who had run away from him suddenly. Picking up Sam in his arms, he turned towards Maya and said, "Goodbye Maya. Have a happy and safe life ahead."

"Goodbye Ken. Thanks for everything I guess." Maya replied.

Ken gave her a sad smile, his eyes held sadness for the way their relationship turned out. As Maya turned to leave, Sam started trashing in Ken's arms. "Aunt Maya... Please don't leave go away. I promise no one will hurt you anymore."

"Sam, I have to go for my work. However, this is my number. You can call me anytime. Okay? Be good now. Grandma and Grandpa will be with you.  You are not going to be alone." Maya replied.
