Love Beyond Boundries

I'm so excited, Ava said, bouncing in her seat.

"That's because you're full of energy, sweetie." Her mother replied, laughing. "We're going to have the best day ever!"

"Definitely, we will," Ava's father said while smiling.

Ava giggled. "You guys are the best parents in the world! And I get to sing my favorite song."

"Go for it, kiddo!" Her father encouraged her.

Ava's voice filled the car as she sang a song by Whitney Huston. "Greatest Love of All"

"Everybody searching for a hero, people need someone to look upto, I never found anyone who fulfilled my need, a lonely place to be.............."

Ava continued singing, and her voice filled the car. It was a joyful time as her mother sang along with her. "I love this part, Ava exclaimed!"

"You have such a beautiful voice, sweetheart," her mother said, proud of her daughter.

Ava giggled, feeling happy. "I can't wait to perform on a stage!"

As they continued singing and laughing, Ava's father suddenly slammed on the brakes. "Hold on!" he exclaimed, his voice tight with urgency.

Ava's heart skipped a beat as she saw a truck coming towards them, its headlights shining like a sun in her eyes.

Her father swerved to the side, but it was too late. The truck crashed into their car, the impact throwing Ava forward. She heard the sound of crunching metal, shattering glass, and her parents' cries.

And then everything went blank.

Ava's eyes fluttered open in the hospital, her head throbbing. Her parents' faces were buried in her mind, but they weren't there. She was alone. Memories flooded back.

The car ride, the singing, the crash... And then it hit her—the realization that she was alone now and that her parents were gone. Ava's voice was silent, her screams echoing only in her mind.

She knew she would never see her parents again, hear their laughter, or feel their warm embrace. They were gone, and she was left behind in a world that no longer made sense. How she survived was a miracle.

Ava is now a 25-year-old strong-willed, determined, and hardworking young lady who lives with her best friend Soledad. Her hobby is music which is a source of comfort that helped her cope with the stress of everyday life. Ava has a warm smile that makes her so beautiful and adorable. She is always willing to lend a helping hand to just anyone she meets, and her kind heart makes her everyone's favorite in the coffee shop where she works.

Ava worked tirelessly in the coffee shop, she was dedicated to her job and always wanted to improve to satisfy and impress her customers. Her co-workers admire her because she takes her work seriously, and customers love her friendly smile and welcoming nature.

"Hi Ava, dear, can I get two cups of coffee, please?" Mr. Cruz asked, and his eyes lit up with excitement as he fixed his gaze on her.

"Of course, Mr. Cruz! I'll have your coffee ready in just 8 minutes," Ava replied, her voice filled with happiness. She loved making coffee for her regulars, and Mr. Cruz was one of her favorites.

"I will wait, my dear," he said, his voice soft. "If I don't wait for your coffee, who will? You always make it just right, My wife and I can't start our day without it."

Ava's heart filled with pride and gratitude as she brewed the coffee. She loved being a part of her customer's daily routines, and Mr. Cruz's kind words made her feel appreciated. As she gave him the cups of hot coffee, Mr. Cruz couldn't help but giggle like a little child.

"Thank you, Mr. Cruz; those kind words you said, mean so much to me," she said, appreciating him.

“You're welcome, sweetie,” he said, giving her a warm smile. Mr. Cruz has always admired Ava's hard work and dedication to work, looking at her with admiration and wishing she were his daughter.

Ava returned to the coffee counter, her mind wandering back to that fateful day . The sound of shattered glass and the pain of losing her parents still lingered, hidden behind her bright smile and warm demeanor. Her eyes held a deep sadness, a hint of pain she kept hidden.

“Mom and Dad, I wish you were still here,” she said with a gentle hum as tears rolled down her eyes, a hum that masked all the pain, sorrow, and emptiness she felt inside. She pushed the thought away, focusing on the present, but the pain she felt remained.

She sat down, looking at the snow falling from the window of the coffee shop, with her earpiece listening to music. Music helps her forget whatever she's been going through.

As the day went by, Ava had just finished her shift at the coffee shop, and her mind was preoccupied with the thought of Antonio, her boyfriend of two years. She had not heard from him for a while now, and she had this feeling that something was off.

“Soledad, I'm heading off to see Antonio,” Ava said as she arranged her things.

Soledad, her best friend and colleague, looked up from her phone with a concerned expression on her face.

“Ava, are you sure that's a good idea? You know how I feel about him; I don't trust him a bit,” she said, looking worried.

Ava nodded, anticipating Soledad's disapproval. “

"I know, but I have to see him and talk to him; something doesn't just feel right," she said, giving Soledad a poppy eye.

Soledad heaved a sigh, her brown hair bouncing as she shook her head.

"Ava, one day, just one day, you will see him for who he is; you will find out that he is not the loving and charming boyfriend he pretends to be; I can't understand why you love that guy.".” She said putting her hand on her forehead.
