5 YEARS LATER

-HENRY-

"Yeah, Carry that over the truck."

I quickly nodded my head as I grab the big basket of  banana as I walked toward the truck.

As I successfully put it down, the driver nodded it's head on me as he open the engine as I lock the case;

"Here! $10 for you Henry. You look so thin so I can only gave you light work"

Ms.Petty smiled as she gave me 10 bucks. That's nice since I can buy a food for today and save the change for tommorow.

Walking down back at the street- I've noticed a bunch of teens walking in the opposite lane, They're laughing at each other while holding a bag and wearing uniforms;

I looked down to see what I'm wearing- Dirty white shirts and torn jeans, I'm only wearing a slippers and they're wearing shoes that looks expensive;

Behalf in my whole existence- I only finished highschool since college is out of budget.

Marywell isn't a big city- but it's a little bit far away from the other place
like Winchester or Atris.


The transportation is either on Train or Airplane- Using car to travel through other place took a large amount of gas to be honest.


I'm Hendrix Lilly, 20 years old, I'm poor, sad and hopeful.


I've never been in such amazing place like mall or anything that is too fancy. I only been to market place and the carnival;

My family? They're nice and good. I have no siblings so I'm only the breadwinner of the family; My mom and dad is also busy working hard so we can have food to eat and bills to pay;

Our house is not the ideal house- but it's nice and clean rather than a house that so rich but so trashy.


It's been 5 years since I handed my raincoat and handkerchief to a random man who tried to kill himself- and when it's rain, it's difficult to bear with it since I have nothing to cover myself when it's raining;



As I got home, I run inside as I saw my mother and father hugging each other as they listen to the radio;


"I'm back now, Ma, Pa!"


I smile happily as they looked at me and smile widely;

"Ah! You're back now, Come henry and give mama a hug!"


My mother- Theresa open her arms up as I run to her and hugged her back, My Father- Hector, hugged us both;


"Henry, son, Please work well so you can achieve your dreams- your mother and I are going to work hard just for you..so you can study.."


My father smiled as he pat my shoulder as my mother smiled softly as she carress my hair..


"Maaa, Pa, You didn't have to do that. I can take care of myself and I didn't got to go on college since I'm already 20.."

I groaned as they looked at me with worry;

"You have to, I didn't want you to be like us"

My mother spoke as I shook my head..

"Noo! Why would'nt want to grow up like you? Ma, You're kind and very generous. Pa, You're hardworking and loving..I wanted to be like you two.."

I stated as I stared into their eyes- a minutes later, We started to laughed;

"You're dramatic! Hahaha!"

My mother laughed and so my father- I smile at them with twinkle in my eyes;

"What do you expect? I get it from mother.."

I chirped as my mother poke me in the head;

"You dummy!"


She glare while smilling, I continue to laughed at my simple happy family
