glimpse of light

I want to finish my study even it's hard. I know one day I'll be successful.

"Ahavah how you are still here it's about to rain. All of your classmate was home at this hour." It was Mrs. Santos my teacher.

"Good afternoon Mrs. Santos, I just wanted to finish my home work here in library." I need to do this because my Aunt will be mad if I take home another homework at home. Home? Home that everyone has except me. how I wish you are here Mom. How I wish there is someone who encourage me. A person that can make me feel home.

"You are so dedicated Ahavah. By the way I have good news to you." She said happily.

"What it is ma'am?" I reacted.

"You can see it yourself." She pass an envelope to me.

As I open the envelope I see a paper where the good news are written.

"I pass the exam for scholarship. Mrs. Santos I can finish my study. I can enter the most prominent University. I can reach my dreams." I am so happy that I cry. Mom look at me. I am starting to reach my dream. I am so happy. I will make you proud of me. If only you and Dad are here.

"I am very happy for you. If your parents are here they will be very proud. You are the first person in this village that can enter in University A." She smiled at me whole heartedly.

"Thank you ma'am." I hug her as I keep on weeping my tears. People of my village are so lovely. Specially those who are older people. Though my aunt did not support me. The village help me in their little way. I help the farmer in return they gave me a little amount of money enough to study in a school and support myself.

"Okey don't cry. Finish what you are doing and go home after that. Your aunt will be worried if you stay late at school."

"Yes Ma'am. Thank you for your support." as if my aunt will be truly worried. she only needs me because I am her slave. Month later I will be graduating and I though I can't make it to A University. Thankfully I pass the scholarship.

"I'm going now. bye." She walk out the door of library.

I have to finish this now or else I will be scolded by aunt. I continue what I am doing and go home after wards.

When I finish the home work it's a little bit dark. The house I live in is far from the school. I am staying at the urban province of D Country, the streets has few street light. It's a little bit of creepy walking alone on the street.

I was walking fast so that I can reach home as soon as possible. Suddenly a group of man appear in front of me. They were looking for something.

"It's just here. He has wound and can't move that fast." says the man who are at the middle. "hurry up search the area."

Because of this I felt really nervous. They are not looking for something, they are looking for someone. I walk faster than I used to be. when suddenly a cold hand hold my arms. when I look around I see a man covered with blood. "Help me!" he said in a weak voice.
