“Go away!  I don’t need you here! “An angry voice of a woman drew a crowd along the Fifth Avenue one stormy day, the dingy street was full of scattered leaves and woods cast by the furious storm.

“Please give us more a month,” Jun pleaded, ” my granddaughter is pretty sick and we don’t have any home to shelter.”

”For God sake! You haven’t paid for three months!” the old woman angrily answered, “I need at least half of your total salary tomorrow.  Unless, you like to sleep with your beloved granddaughter in the wet street.”

The woman suddenly turned her back and went away. The strangers who stopped to watch the lonesome scene continued to walk making believe that there’s nothing happen.

Jun slowly went inside an old apartment. Earthen walls greeted him when he opened a rusty door. Cans of sardines grouped around catching drops of water from the tiny holes of the wooden roof. From the corner adjacent to the entrance was a brown chair covered with folded sock where he discovered a sleeping little girl. 

He suddenly recalled the first night when Angel unexpectedly arrived in his life. It was midst of the evening when loud noises stole his sleep and eventually obliged him to nervously fly to his door. With his surprise, he found a crying baby wrapped with white long towel.  Days and weeks have passed but no one dare to claim the lost baby that’s why he voluntarily adapted it. There’s no problem that time because Jun had still a job as a supervisor in one company engaged in clothing industry. But when vices came and ruined the owner’s habit, the business sank in bankruptcy and he became one of the unlucky workers who lost his job. The worst, his age impeded him to find a new one.

The day was getting dimmer that signaled that the evening was near to come. Worries deeply ran along his spine that wrenched his heart. His pocket did have no any single penny yet and the moon was already at the sky reminding him about his sick granddaughter lying in the folded sacks.

In the third avenue, a shadow of a man had caught his sight. His clothes revealed his stable job while his bright face shows no single problem. Until, he found his steps unconsciously following the paces of the aimed victim.
