At home after school, I was doing my homework at the kitchen counter. Lily is cooking while Max is gardening. I was humming a lullaby that my mother used to sing to me while doing my homework.

"What a sweet humming you have dear. What song is that?" Ask Lily.

"It's a lullaby that my mother used to sing to us before we're go to bed."

"Us?"

"Me and my sister, Aurora." I open my locket and look at the picture inside of it. My real parent looking at each other with a bright smile on their face while their hands  hold me and Aurora. My hands wrapped around Aurora while we're laughting in this picture.

We were happy back then together. We used to live in harmony, play together and laugh together until the war came. Lily came beside me and she looks at the picture in my locket while smile brightly on her face.

"They beautiful." She's said and I return a smile to her.

"Maybe you can teach me the lullaby and we can sing together every night for you. What do you say love?"

"I be happy."

I hugged her and she return the hug for me. We were in each other's embrace until we hear a knock on the door and then came in Ollie.

"Good day Mrs. Lehmann. I bought you a basket of apple from my mother."

"Ollie how wonderful. You know you shouldn't have to bring me this."

"It's okay Mrs. Lehmann. Mother insist me to bring something for you."

"Thank you then. Say thank you to your mother too."

"Alright Mrs. Lehmann." Ollie put the basket on the kitchen counter, his crutches beside him and sit beside me.

"You doing homework?" He ask.

"Obviously yes."

"You said when I came here, we can go to the meadow."

"After I finish my homework. How about you? Are you done with your homework or not?"

"I finish it last night."

I raised my eyebrow and starred at him because Ollie isn't type of person to finish his homework on time. He usually doing it in last minute before teacher ask for it.

"Ok, alright. I didn't finish it but at least I done it half of it before I came here. I was just wanted to play by the river rigt now."

"I knew it. At least you could bring your homework here and we can do it together before we go to play outside."

"It's to late now. Let's go! Are you done or not?" He ask impatiently now.

"Almost done and--" I finish the last equation for my math.

"DONE! Let's go."

"Luna dear, don't forget the basket or you would be hungry."

I took the basket that fill with foods and quickly jump from my seat and so as Ollie. We're running together to the front door until Max call us.

"Where do you two are going?"

"We want to go to the meadow now."

"Okay alright but be home before sunset."

"But dad tonight there would be a meteor. Can we at least stay until midnight to see the meteor." I beg because I really want to see the sky tonight.

"Yeah Mr. Lehmann, please. Beside there's no school tomorrow and I already tell my parent about me staying for tonight. Please."

Both of us made a cute puppy eyes to Max so that he would take the bait of our cuteness and innocent face. And he seemed almost lose it.
