I walked into the company cafeteria. It was loud and bustling with people as always.
"So, Violet, how are you doing with him?" My friend Elizabeth asked, "Do you feel like something is going to happen between you two?"
"Well, he asked me to dinner again next week," I replied.
"Wow! Good for you! He seems like a great person." Elizabeth responds enthusiastically.
I'm just an ordinary office worker. Even though I feel like something is missing, I'm quite satisfied with life these days. I check out restaurants in magazines, and sometimes go out with the girls. We talk up a storm about love and marriage. Until, I got that phone call. I was a normal, 22 year old girl, looking to enjoy a little more romance, marriage and the normal happiness that comes with it.
After work, I had slipped out of my shoes and decided to lay on my bed for a little while. I had been thinking a few things over when I heard ringing. "Huh? It's pretty late to be calling." I thought out loud as I took a glance at my phone. I answered the phone without hesitation when my father's name had appeared on the screen. "Hello? What's going on? Uh huh. Huh? What? Your business is going bankrupt!? Uh huh... yes. It's ok, I have some savings, I can help you with...What? F-five hundred thousand dollars?!" I almost fainted.
My father quit his job to start a printing factory. I liked the smell of the papers, back when I was little. I often dropped by the factory on my way back from school. But, my father's business was hit hard by the recession. I was always grateful to my parents for bringing me up in comfort. They took wonderful care of me, as their only daughter. And that's why I felt I needed to help them, now. Despite my conviction, I didn't know what I could do for them. At that time, I still couldn't think of anything. I have to deal with this somehow.
Back then, I couldn't of known just how much this conviction would change my life. For at that moment, somebody appeared before me...
