The last of the customers left from the shop. John was cleaning the counters, stacking away the boxes filled with candies. It's Friday night so couples are going out, holding hands, laughing and recounting their day. An eerie silence began to creep into his heart.
He once was a man in love but it ended in him leaving everything behind. The woman whom he thought loved him, used him and left. He vowed himself to never go back to the place where he was used and humiliated. When he came back twelve years ago he was angry at everyone. It took him two years to get back on his feet and five years to bring the shop to it's full potential.
He wanted to prove that he is stronger and can live alone. Now his mother gone and his sister living in another state he is a nomad. He don't have friends to share a drink or a dog to keep him company. He is all alone .
The all too loud cellphone startled him. He took out the more than unnecessary contraption from his back pocket and looked at the caller I.D. It was an unknown number. He answered the call.
Hello. Yes it is him.
What?!!Who are you?!!!
His face changed from annoyed to disbelief to anger in seconds. The caller told him things that shook his entire being. A sentence that changed his life. He has a Daughter!
