Mummy, u know i found a mental man being chased by few men- Riddhu said excitedly. Her mom, Tara wides her eyes.

Riddhu, don't go out far alone. Understand?-

No no. I just walk here but i found them- she said while munch her foods. Tara just hear her.

Tomorrow, Riddhu feels so lonely. She doesn't learn coz she's so poor. Tara is her only life now.

Mummy, can i go out?-

Where, sweety?- Tara caresses her cheek.

Find work-

What?! Why? I mean, u are small. U don't know how hard to get work- Tara replied.

But, i wanna have money that we can eat everything. U always gimme rice and water- Riddhu really break Tara's heart. Her daughter even said that without think about her feeling. It's true that they always eat rice or maybe bread and water.

Riddhu baby.. hear me- Tara sits beside her and cup her cheeks then kiss her forehead. Riddhu's eyes get wet think about their fate.

Maybe we are poor. But we must be grateful coz we still can eat and drink even we have this house. U must say thankyou for everything u have- her advice. Riddhu wipes her own tears nodding her head.

I'm sorry mummy-

No. It's ok- Tara pulls Riddhu in her embrace, pat her back to calm her daughter.

This time, Riddhu feels so moody coz she doesn't get what she wants. Her neighbours has everything that she doesn't. They always make her jealous that she can't bear it anymore. Everytime, Tara will advise her not to see them but Riddhu is fed up.

I wanna have money! I must get work!- Riddhu said to herself and go out. Tara isn't at home coz she is working at a small factory.

The sun burns her skin. Her energy is drained. She can't find work. Till she lost her spirit and decide to go home.

That house is beautiful. I wish i can buy a house for mummy. She'll be so happy- she smiles sadly. Her eyes catch a thing on the ground. Come closer and bend down, she gasps as she finds a money. She shooks the dust then get surprised.
