You are walking down the autumn streets, dragging your tired legs as your eyes wander around the surroundings. You look up to the sky feeling the cool breeze hitting your skin and the falling leaves resting on the road. The entire place is completely filled with peace but not your heart. But you shrug off all your thoughts and finally get what you are searching for.

There's an old board hanged out the place, you soon pick up your pace to take a clear look.

New workers required. Recruitment of new bakers.

A grin instantly form on your face. You take a deep breath before going in. You grip the belt of your bag hanging down your shoulder. You see a not so young, a middle aged man sitting at the counter and talking to some customers. Your eyes move around the place, taking a look of the neatness and at the customers to estimate their profit.

"Excuse me.. "
You hear a voice wanting to gain your attention.
Your eyes darts in that direction towards your front.

You give a slight small smile and receive a grin from the other.

"What do you need Miss..?"
He ask as you let out a hesitant chuckle.

"I am here for a job sir.. "
You say and look at him, showing a hint of determination.

"Oh..! That's a very old one and I forgot to take it.. "
He explain making your smile to drop eventually.

"Sir, please I need a job.. "
You whisper in pleading tone and your look still showing him the passion.

"I will do my best, just a chance sir.."
You add your words, squinting your eyes at him, mentally praying to say yes.

"Do you have any idea about baking..?"
He question you as you vigoursly nod your head, smiling.

"Hm.. Okay. I will allot you a job here.. "
He say as your happiness increases bringing a wide grin on your face.

"Thank you sir.. "
You bow at him showing your gratitude.

"You can join from tomorrow.. "
He chimes as you say yes.

You walk out of the place with smile not leaving your face.

Finally I got a job. After many trails, I got it. Yahoo!

You think to yourself, walking back to your room as it's getting cold. You are just wearing some simple clothes which are barely protecting you from the quite cold breeze, slightly making your legs to shiver. You press your mouth together, not wanting your lips to get frozen and dry. You keep rubbing your arms, crossing your hands around your small figure.

You walk in fast steps and reach your room. You open the door and run in, only to collapse on the couch, feeling the warmth of your room. You pull the blanket, lying on the ground and wrap it around yourself to make yourself good and comfortable. Your body slowly gets warm as you release a relaxed sigh, closing your eyes voluntarily.

Digging into your life, there's nothing interesting. Your life is just a hopeless and bored one. You are an orphan. You have no parents, no guardian. You are a free soul with no limits, no rules. You be as you want to but there's no one to care. You feel lonely to yourself. In this big world you don't have at least a single soul to care about you, to love you, to be with you holding your hand. You were brought up in an orphanage. Even there, you have no friends to talk to or to enjoy with. They always kept you aside as you doesn't want to bother. You be to yourself nonchalant about the world. But there's only one woman who cared for you. She was there along with you and helped you learn some things. You are not well educated. You can only depend on your other skills or your physical strength for jobs.

Recently you lost your one and only caretaker of the orphanage. There's no point for you to still be there. You moved out to a good place, actually the room of your caretaker. You settled down in that small room. And now you gone on a hunt for jobs. By God's grace you found a job which is related to baking. You learnt how to bake, how to decorate cakes back then.

Shrugging away all your past. You always have a good time with yourself. You be so silent and in your own world with no others bothering you. You do what all you want to. The gap in your heart always stay along with you, wanting someone's love. Craving for attention, care, affection and love.

You wake up from your quick nap, settling yourself properly on the messed couch. A gasp leaves your mouth as your eyes still be shut due to heaviness. You take a brief moment to come out of your dreamland and stand up straight on your legs, pulling your blanket away from you. Looking at the clumsy surroundings, you slightly chuckle to yourself thinking how messy I am and carry on with the work of arrangements. Simply, you always roam around the streets, come back home when you are tired, taking a nap, watching TV, messing up the room and then arranging it. The only works you do.

And now there's some other job included.
