The night is getting deeper.

The food is getting colder.

I can feel my hunger.

But I cannot eat yet--

I was waiting for my mother.

I am waiting longer,

longer than I expected.

Where is she? I wonder.

Where is my mother?

Are you wondering where's my father?

Well, he's with his another.

I don't want to think it over.

All I need is my mother.

I checked the clock and so shock-

It's very late for a dinner.

But I can't resist my hunger, 

So I ate the dinner.

Without my father, and now my mother.

Are you wondering, do I have a sibling?

Yes, I have a sister.

But she is staying with her lover.

In that moment, I realized, I was a complete loner.

Eating alone, when my mother finally came home.

She has food in her hands, I knew it--

She was with his new found Mister.
