ANDREA'S POV

"Here you go" Mr.Smith, the owner of the famous café I used to worked at,gave me a medium size brown envelope.

I slowly study the brown envelope I was holding."Go on,open it" Mr.Smith demanded, a small smile make its way to his lips. I smiled at him to, deciding to opened the brown envelope and so I did.

My lips parted slightly."Wow,this is too much compared when I first work in this café when I was 14" I said happily. Mr.Smith chuckled "I hope that's enough, that $10k dollars" he pointed out.

"Yeah I think so...thank you" I looked up to him again

"No problem" he patted me in my shoulder

I glanced at my back "um,Mr.Smith... I think I need to go home, its getting late"

"yeah,be safe" He said, motioning me to get out from the cafeteria and go home

I nodded at him and mouthed 'thank you'. I place the brown envelope in one of my pockets and wear my brown coat to prevent me from shivering when I get outside of the cafeteria.

I opened the door and went outside. The cold breeze met my body as I shivered,maybe my coat can't help me either. I place my both bare cold hands in my pockets and started to walk through the sidewalk. The sky was a bit dark so I hurry a little bit in my walk.My house was 22 blocks away from the cafeteria.

After that short walk, I made my way through my house and stepped in into the doorstep. I searched the key in my pockets using my hand, finding it. When I found it, I opened the door using the key and stepped in into our old house.

Dad was nowhere to be found, it means he will be late by the night.My father and I used to lived together since my mom left us when I was 14.So,dad decided to find a better job in a factory near in our town.While, I,find a job too into the café that the owner was Mr.Smith which turns out to be my dad's friend back when they were in the middle school. At a younger age of 14.I worked in the café and supported my study at the same time. To help dad paying the water bills,electricity bills,my tuition fee and other bills.

My place my brow coat in the couch and made my way to my room to change my clothes and go to sleep.

PATRICIA'S POV

I placed the bacons in the center of the table as I sat beside, Anna,my little sister.She's still wearing her sponge Bob PJ's and her pastel pink T-shirt. Her eyes were a little puffy because of lack fo sleep from watching Netflix at midnight and yeah her mother didn't know that she was using my phone just to watch Netflix.

"You watched Netflix last night?" I asked her as took a bite from the bacon I was eating

"yeah, but I sleep at 10:00 instead of 12:00" she yawned, rubbing her both eyes tiredly

"A 11 year old girl like you should never watch Netflix at midnight.. You have school at weekdays" I explained, glaring at her

"Yeah I know you always said that over again" she said annoyed as she drink her milk

I shrugged, crossing my arms in my chest."What if your mom finds out?". I asked her."I don't know" she shrugged."So stop watching at midnight before it's too late" I remarked."Oh by the way, its Satu-------"

My phone begun to ring in my pocket so I answer the call

"Hello?"
