 This is an orphanage. You know, the place where all those children spend their lives trying to hold on without families. This is a place where hopes are dim. But hopes are like "snowdrops". When you think everything is over, the snow breaks through and a flower emerges, radiating its beauty.

Eva was also one of the children here. She would turn eighteen in two days, and the orphanage accepted people up to the age of eighteen. It was unknown where he would be in his next year. She wore her usual facial expression. The corner of his lip was slightly turned down into a pout. It was seven o'clock in the morning. Nobody was awake yet. She sat up, looked out the window and said:

- "Morning comes when the sun rises and warms the innocent children, when hopes grow again and the light grows like love." The sun was shining on his bed by the window. The night had gone away with its gloom. The sun was shining for the first time in a long time and was already starting to melt the snow. Then the door suddenly opened and the staff started waking the children:

-"Get up! It's morning. Wake up now!" Their shouts were enough to wake up the whole country. When everyone woke up, the officers left. Eva went down to the dining hall after washing her hands and face and putting on some clothes. As usual, there was a long queue.

When Eva finally got her food, she was heading towards the table where she would sit when the headmistress called after her. He had a smile on his face that was too big to be real. She beckoned Eva with her finger. When he came to her, he put his hand on Eva's shoulder, leaned towards her and spoke quietly:

-"Your grandmother and grandfather have arrived. They will adopt you." Eva's eyes were wide open. He put the food aside. He opened his mouth but couldn't say a word. Seeing this, the headmistress laughed very loudly, as if something very funny had happened, and said:

-"Follow me." Saying this, he set off. Eva was following the headmistress like a chick following its mother. When they came to the administrative room, there was a man and a woman inside. Experience was flowing from their old faces. Eva suddenly ran unexpectedly and hugged them. Tears were now streaming down his confused face. He stepped back and looked at his guardians' face once more. His heart was beating very fast. He'd never met anyone from his family before-

While in the car, Eva realized that she had not left the orphanage for a long time. Apparently the road was long. But no one said a word. Then Eva broke the silence.

-"Why did you give me to the orphanage? Let's say you did, why didn't you take me back until now?" She turned to his grandmother and looked at her as if searching for an answer. But it was her grandfather who answered:

- "Let's start telling the story from the beginning, my dear child. We were very happy when we learned that you were going to be born. Your grandmother knitted a lot of beautiful things for you. But one day, the sad news came. They told us that you died before you were born. We did not know that you were alive. We were very sad. At that time, your mother and father was gonna go to Florida. They left a few days after we learned of your death. We were surprised that they just left the city after something so painful. They were sending us photos from time to time. Then we learned that they were coming back to the city that we lived in a week ago. But their plane fell into the Atlantic ocean. We had lost everything. Neither our child nor our grandchild was alive. The pain inside us was growing. But when they died, we learned that they had a living child. However, a "snowdrop flower" bloomed inside us. But you, don't worry, my child. We are always with you." He said and reached back and took Eva's hand. Her grandmother also winked and smiled. Eva responded with a smile with her eyes.

It was 10 o'clock in the morning when they got home. It was a big and very old house. As soon as the door opened, Eva walked in and threw herself on the couch. The fireplace burning in the house was protecting the house from the cold of the snow that started to fall again outside. Then Eva suddenly stood up from the chair she had thrown herself into. She ran to check her room upstairs. The walls of her room were covered with old-style floral wallpaper. She had a large wooden bed. It has a very nice curtain on it. All the remaining furniture was made of wood. The room had a great atmosphere. Eva wanted to put her belongings away as soon as possible. She quickly pointed her hand at her suitcase. However, the suitcase suddenly flew into the air. Eva was also thrown back due to the force. What was that, she? Had Eva done this? She stood up in fear. At that moment, a voice came from below:
