The footsteps of father sounded like a battalion soldiers going for a world
war as he stormed out of the house. Mother was left alone, crying
profusely. She cursed herself for being so unfortunate. She wished life
would just smile at her and her family even if it was just once. She had
never enjoyed her marriage and had tolerated all the hardship for the sake
of her children. Money has never been their friend and they had been
plunging into one debt after the other. Though her husband had been

further to go to the hospital. I wish she could foresee the future. Mother
never thought I could become a source of joy to her and the household at
large.
