Ch 7

Sanias six months probation period were over and Tina was very happy with her performance and her work on the ranch and her abilities to rise to the challenge and deal with all the problems related to the ranch and she wanted to keep her as long as possible.  Tina had no intentions of letting her go, which meant that Sanias contract, was extended for indefinite and that made her very happy because she loved being on the ranch.  It was a safe haven for her from the outside world and its problems.  Sania kept herself to herself and Tina never asked her any private question.  She was pleased with that so much because she never wanted to tell anyone about her life and about the fact that she was adopted.  She doesnt know till now who her real parents were, or if they were still alive.

Sania was told that she was found by a passer by in a basket in one of the citys parks.  She was wrapped in a white and pink blanket that had a piece of it missing or torn.  A letter and a necklace in a shape of a half heart were found in the basket with her, which was presumed to be from her mother.  The letter had very neat hand writing and it stated the date of birth and the name that was given to her.  It also told her how much she was loved by her mother and why she couldnt keep her.  That was all what Sania knew about her past.  The blanket, the letter and the necklace were given to her adopted family to keep for her and to give it to her when she was old enough to know.

Sania kept the letter, the blanket and the half heart necklace.   She wore it only twice in her life, once on her 21^st birthday and the other time when she graduated from the University.  She took with her those 3 items almost everywhere she went no matter where and of course she had them with her on the ranch too. She was determined to find her real parents or her real mother at least.  She often opened the letter and read it out loud just to be reminded of her mother and feel that she was really loved by her and wanted to keep her, but something or someone forced her to give her up. The letter read.
