Impossible love

Making a living

Dad woke me up too early today, he had bought few boxes of lemon and told me that we have to earn money to be able to go through the day... does it mean that I have to do it everyday if I wanted to continue to live? 

He took me to a place I've never knew existed, there were a lot of people, males and females they all had some sort of vegetables or fruit clothes and such stuff and each one on a side they were selling and there were a lot of people who were actually buying from them while others seems like they are searching for specific stuff that they need, we put the boxes down and dad removed the cover revealing the lemons, I would feel ashamed if I was the only one standing

"Lemon lemon!" dad yell taking one lemon into his hand, forget it now I'm embarrassed  "come buy some lemons, it's healthy and it has vitamin C!"

"Dad, what are you doing?" he gave me a look like I said something really dumb, now it hit me and it is dumb

"How else are we going to sell all these boxes?" he pointed at the crowd "Convince them or let them win all the costumers but remember if we sell nothing, we can't eat lunch, later we have to sell other stuff if we couldn't sell these to be able to offer dinner" he look away after I looked down, now I'm stressed, how did we end up with having to sell lemon for a living "come closer and get some lemon! If you have anyone sick or with low immunity it's the best medicine!"  dad elbowed me "don't stand like a lamp yell with me"

"Lemon, lemon!" I almost said as I raised my arms a bit, I felt both embarrassed and shy now that I have to yell, it's like I have no self confidence in what I'm doing

"The best lemon in town, come closer" dad yell just then two women came toward us

"How much is it" I looked at dad as he spoke to them 

"Bring the bag son" I unfolded the bag and open it as he placed five lemons in, he gave them the bag as they spoke a bit but I was too distract that their voices echoed in the back 

"Thank you ma'am enjoy your day" dad gave them a bright smile, dad is really strong for being able to smile after all this, no wonder he build a company from scratch "that's how you do it" he showed me the few dollars he had "now start yelling" 

"Lemon, lemon" I tried to yell

"Louder!" he scolded me

"I am yelling dad!" I felt helpless  

"We will see now" he bend down and picked two boxes "I'm gonna use another place so we see who'll yell better" 

"Dad!"

"Be careful if cops saw you, you don't have certificate to sell but don't you dare leave the lemons, I count each and every single one of them" 

"Cops?" my heart drop, will I go to jail if I got caught?  

"Careful now, and don't leave the lemons it's our life now" what? he walked off

"Don't go!" I called out to him but he left like I'm a kid left in the kindergarten but of course he left, alright I better sell much in less time so I be able to have less weight if I'll need to run, I took a deep breath in and out "Lemon! come closer and get lemon" my voice sounded broken, god, I have to try harder, people didn't take me seriously I have to sounded stronger.

After few yells each one better than the last I managed to sell one box so I have three more now, and cops are nowhere to be find for now so I have to sell at least one more box before I change my location but soon I saw the cops they were pointing at me so I had to grab the boxes and run away and through the crowd I went and careful to not hit anyone, with few turns around the place and carefully and  quickly as far as possible
