"Urggh!" Natalie groaned in frustration. What was she going to do? At the moment, the only reasonable solution seemed to give up and head back home only to get another screaming from Bo.
But, she was not the one to give up. She should not give up. She mustn't give up.
"Damn it! I am thinking of giving up! No, I can't give up. It's not me."
The memories of her late father flashed in her mind, as she happened to recall his words full of wisdom. She silently murmured with her eyes closed –"You just have to work hard and stay dedicated that's all, and success will be yours."– one of the numerous advices her father gave her.
On second thoughts, she went back home at night and was extremely relieved to see Bo asleep. She breathed a sigh of relief. At least, she wouldn't have to suffer his tantrum!
Upon arriving, she saw Dawan gently stroking the raven-black hair belonging to her tiny little brother who was soundly sleeping with a very serene expression, and singing a melodious lullaby.
