Chapter 2

I cried as I walked back to the house. What do I do now? I don't know how to revive myself. I had no money and I could no longer continue my studies.

When I got home, I felt even more tired and hungry. I lay on the floor and looked around our empty house.

I thought hard, I had to plan. What's the point of being an honor student if I don't use my brain? I can't just sneeze here! Besides, "I still have a place to live. I still have the house that Mom and Dad left"

And there are other things I can sell. The things in my room and the table and chairs that were blocking my door earlier I can sell. I'll just leave some clothes for myself.

I picked up all the belongings alone and carried them to the door. The money I get here I will use to find a job. And I will also search wherever on the continent are my shameless relatives went! I will take back everything they stole from me!

"What the hell happened!" Mrs. Highblood suddenly appeared. She was hooked on Auntie Seline's gamble. So Mrs. Highblood is his nickname because her blood is always warm to me. When she was still visiting here. "Did the thief enter your house?" she asked.

I want her to answer that the thieves themselves are Auntie Seline. But I stopped talking. "Where are your other things in the house? Where is your aunt"

"They've left. They've left me."

"bitch! You still owe me a lot! Did you know that this old house of yours has already been mortgaged because she lost the gamble!"

"What?" Suddenly the weight I was carrying increased. Auntie left huge debt and what's worse, she mortgaged my house! My house!

"No one can pay more than half a million you owe." My eyes almost popped out at the amount of the money Mrs. Highblood. "And since you're her nephew, you should pay for that."

I thought I wouldn't cry anymore but here are the tears again, little by little dripping again. "Why should I pay? Auntie Seline is in the one who has dept with you. And besides, I don't have any money "

" You won't pay your Auntie's debt?" She grabbed his cellphone and dialed a number. While doing so, one of his fingers pointed at me. "If you don't pay, I'll hand you over to my police brother!"

I got on my knees in front of her. I'm not at fault but why is she blaming me? "I don't know where I can get the money to pay you. Even I, I don't know how to raise myself. Please give me time. I'll find them Auntie so they can pay you."

But Mrs. Highblood has a heart like stone.

So durable and tough! He could not go through the plea and now she is talking to her police brother.

I knew that no matter what I begged, she would not listen to me. It occurred to me that she and Auntie Seline might just conspire. But whatever the truth, they want to oppress me. I am the disadvantage.

I slowly moved away from her. And then I ran away.

"Hey Alyanna! Come back here!" Mrs. Highblood shouted, but I just sped up my pace even though I had nothing to carry for myself. "I'll put you in jail!" That was the last threat I heard.

I was panting and still gasping for breath. I do not know where I am now.

The wound on my foot doubled, my knee was still scarred because I fell several times due to the accident. I was weak and my tears were flowing non -stop.

It was dark and I could no longer think clearly. I thought yesterday, I will be happy today.

I wish I could get what my parents inherited from me.

My dreams have vanished like bubbles! My dream is to make life more comfortable, my dream is to be happy! I didn't know what I was going to do and I also didn't know how I was going to find a job.

Suddenly the rain began to fall and became even stronger! I looked up at the sky, I didn't even see a star or any light. Even heaven, gives me trouble! I trembled at the force of the wind and had no shelter.

Then I noticed that I was walking in the middle of a bridge. I peeked at what was beneath it and I saw a dirty river, I was floating and seemed to be losing my sanity. "This is the end of all my problems?" I was crying but it was no longer obvious because of the raindrops hitting my face.

"Mama, Dad, I can't do it anymore.I'm already struggling and I miss you so much. "I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Death is the only end to my problems.

I let my body lose its balance to finally fall off the bridge. I just prayed in my mind that if my soul could not go to heaven, they would allow me to see my parents again even one last time.

"Hey!" Suddenly someone pulled at my clothes so I didn't get what I wanted. "It's just a kid! Are you going to kill yourself?" An old grumpy man stopped me.

"Leave me alone! I want to die!"

I wish I had committed suicide but he stopped me again.

He is old but he is still strong!

"What a stubbornness ! Don't you know how deep the river you're going to cross?"

"That's good so I'm sure I'll die!"

When I shouted, he slapped me so hard! "Respect me! I'm older than you!" Then with his cane, he beat me. "Does it hurt? Huh?" It was one after the other and he hit harder and harder. "Oh that, have you come to your senses!"

I don't know him and I also don't know why he stopped me. But even if he hurts me and scolds me,I feel like he's just worried.

He dragged me away from the bridge. When he found shelter, he forced me to sit down and preach. "Who told you you can take your life back like that? You have no right!"

"I'm just sorry for the life that was lent to me." I was kicked again of the old man because of my answer.

"Don't be a philosopher! No matter how big your problem is, you still shouldn't choose suicide!" I looked at him because he seemed to be crying while saying that. "Look at me, even though I only live on the street, I enjoy life."

Because of this, I was no longer ashamed to tell him what I was going through. "How can I be happy if my problems are multiplied? After my parents died, the rest of my relatives enslaved me. I accepted that, because I knew I could get up too.

But they stole the money my parents inherited from me! I can no longer continue to study. They even mortgaged my house without my knowledge! And most of all, maybe the police are looking for me now with the amount of debt they left me. "I covered my face because my tears seemed to fall on the raindrops again." How can I live? I don't even know how to start again. I want to find a job but no one will accept me! My life is worthless! "

The old man just sighed as he listened to my miserable life. "Young people really today, simple problem, discouraged immediately!"

"I know you're older and have more experience than me. But you can't blame me!"

He get something from his pocket and handed me a clean white handkerchief. I would like to ask how he managed to hide a DRY and CLEAN handkerchief in his pocket. Then, he also handed me a piece of paper. "Here, take it." I opened the paper and had a name and address written on it.

"Brylle Zaffiro? Who is this?"

“The question is, do you know how to go to that address?"

"The place is familiar. It's easy to go but what am I going to do here?"

"Do you want a job? You can find one there". He stood up and put his hand on my shoulder. He seemed to be saying that everything would be okay . After that, he would have left but I still have a lot to ask him.

"Wait, Grandpa! Can this person give me a job? What kind of job? And how did you know that"

" A lot of questions! Just go! "I was stunned by

mouth. Grandpa seemed busy and he was really in a hurry to leave.

But I was naughty, I still chased him. "Grandpa! What's your name? "

Grandpa has stopped walking. When he turned his back on me, he just smiled at me. At the same time, suddenly there was thunder and lightning so strong that I closed my eyes. It was only for a while but when I open my eyes again, the old man was gone.

"Where's Grandpa now?" I looked for him but I could not find even a shadow of him. Isn't that a ghost?

I shook my head and stopped threatening myself. Can a ghost give a handkerchief and paper?

I opened the paper and read what's written on it . "Brylle Zaffiro." Who is he? And can this person really help me?
