Kalani had always thought that she was saucy and she could do absolutely anything and get away with it. She went with this mentality to a business appointment with one of the most influential English bachelors of all times. It was safe to say that K...

It was a sunny Saturday morning and I was at the store to get some food and supplies. I was badly running out of food. The rate at which my mom and Pablo were eating was just intolerable.
Normally, anytime I visited to the store to get supplies, it would last for about two weeks or more, but I'd already been here about three times during the week . It was always like my mother and Pablo invited other neighbors anytime I was out because I would leave for work and the refrigerator would be filled with food and then I would return home to meet empty tins of canned food and empty food bags littered round my apartment.
They wouldn't even leave a reosonable amount of food for me to eat when I returned from work as I would always have to order food , they even littered chocolate wrappers and ice-cream bowls all over the kitchen like they were children.
I would bust my ass to make sure that my apartment was always clean and then I would return to meet a shithole in place of an apartment . My mum had always been like that since I could remember , my dad had to employ someone to clean the house during my childhood days.
I was going through the canned food section in the store when a little girl of about age ten walked up to me. Her dark long hair was weaved in a French plait, she was wearing pink pajamas and fluffy pink boots.
"Hey aunty, could you help me out with some food. I haven't eaten for days and my mum can't get a job for us to eat. Please aunty a dollar would do a lot. " The girl said softly, she had a sweet voice.
I couldn't believe what just went down--I knew that I didn't believe things easily, but damn it, I'm still human. I felt very downcast seeing a little girl beg for food in a store.
"Where's your mom? " I asked, definitely her mother would be somewhere around there.
The girl began to cry.
"What is it darling?"
"Please don't tell my mom I came to beg please. I would leave you in peace, I just came to look for what we would eat tonight I even snuck into the store when no one was looking . The sales assistant wouldn't allow me in again because I beg customers too much." She pleaded. Her words went straight into my heart.
" Don't cry sweetheart. What's your name?"
" I'm Tanya." The girl replied.
"Tanya pick anything you want, I'll pay for it." I offered.
"Thank you so much. I don't want much anyways. " She jumped in excitement, wiping her tears.
I payed for Tanya's expenses and when she was about to leave I called her back.
"Give this to your mum. " I said, holding out a hundred dollar note and extending my hands to Tanya.
"Thanks Aunty, I'll never forget you. " She collected the money and hugged me before immediately running out of the store. I turned back to continue from where I stopped in my shopping.
