A young boy walks quietly through a hot, busy, and crowded place. Even with all the shouting in the market, he didn't care about the surrounding noise. There are a variety of buyers, and some are still haggling. This is how he starts and ends his day every day. It's typical, but he has no choice.
He has a warm-hearted face, but his eyes are sad and full of mystery. If you pay close attention to him, you will see this for sure. It was very heartbreaking, as if all the happiness in his life had died a long time ago. It's one of the reasons why many people are ignoring him.
He just walks around the streets, and when he's tired, he makes a small bed on the side of an enormous building. His life is like this. Even though it's hard, he has to do it. He chose to go in this direction. That's why he must endure the consequences.
"Why does it seem like there are more and more homeless people on the road? Do you not feel bad for yourselves? You're such a jerk! It's already crowded, and more people keep coming to this place. It's a bother! Every single day!" a woman was angry and complaining as she tried to get through the crowd.
She kept walking artfully while trying to take over the whole path, and if someone got in her way, she just ran into them. The woman keeps doing what she's doing, but she doesn't get anywhere. She has to slow down because there are so many people on the road. If she pushes herself, there's a possibility that she will fall onto the road.
"What the hell?! Move out of the way where I'm going. You people are getting on my nerves. One! Why are you making me push? I have many paper bags in my hands, for Pete's sake! Wait, the things I bought could fall. Don't push me!" she got mad again, so she just pushed the person in front of her.
The young man just looked at her, and it seemed like he was being looked at from head to toe. As creative as this woman is, she doesn't seem like a good person, she just uplifting herself. If you look at her, you might think she's a Donya, but you are making a mistake. She is just an ordinary person; like him.
"What are you looking at? Are you asking for a dime? Pathetic. Are you kidding me? By the way. You won't get anything from me. Get out of my way. You're like a pest scattered around. You're really beggars," she said this to the young man in a way that showed he was worthless.
Before getting up, the boy just looked at her. He shook his head right in front of the woman and then looked at her for a long time. The boy seems to be trying to say something with the way he looks at her. He wanted to tell the woman something, but he didn't. The boy just shut his mouth.
"Why? What would you like to say? You have something to say, right? If you can look at me, fix your eyes. Do you want to be caught by the police? Even though you're only a teen, you have long horns. Change how you treat older people and learn to respect them. Step aside," she annoyed the teen by giving him a sermon.
The young man didn't say anything or say sorry. He just quickly walked away. He didn't care about what the woman said. What she says doesn't matter to him, since he has plenty of problems in his mind. He only knows that he is not hurting anyone, and that he is right.
He just kept walking and hoped someone would give him something to eat. Even though his stomach is growling, he doesn't have even five pesos. Even though the sun is getting hotter and hotter, he doesn't seem to care. He kept walking down the road, not knowing where he was going.
Meanwhile, the young man was thinking so much that he didn't notice the moving car coming toward him. He couldn't hear the car horn because the market was too noisy. When he finally saw it, it was too late, and he had already fallen on the hot, hard concrete.
The driver got out of the car right away and rushed to the hit man. She was scared and didn't know what to do about what had happened. All she could think about was making sure she did not hurt the person she ran into too badly. She didn't expect this.
