At 10 years old I need to live alone. A tragedy happened to my parents they died in a plane crash yesterday. Me and my parents are struggling to the society, a miracle that my parents were able to work abroad. 

Before my parent leave, they left me with my grandfather who was one of our family however in the incident that happened. My grandfather had a heart attack that led to his death because his only daughter was no longer in this world. 

Since we had no relatives or close friends I was forced to live alone. Alone for a young age. The house we used to live in was taken over by a family who claimed their land and house, my grandfather's friend took his property and house, while me they drove me away forcibly that was forcing me to live alone.

At a young age, I don't know what I need to do. Even for a young man like me under the bridge of the stinking river water, I decided to live and I made my own home made of cardboard, perforated plywood, and a piece of fabric. 

On my first night, I couldn't sleep because I was just a child who lost his parents recently, I don't know why my tears flowed out of nowhere. I just stared at my plywood roof as my tears flowed. Even when I close my eyes my tears keep dripping. I'm just always thinking about what my parent said to endure the grief I felt. 

My first morning living alone is today. Morning came gazing at my roof with a piece of plywood thinking about my growling stomach while rubbing it. I know how to work I also helped my father to work in different jobs, just without him I can't work alone. They might won't allow a young age to work alone. 

As I gazing my roof I heard voices outside my home. My smile came out when I saw some kind of people giving me food and money.

Because of the stench in my place, they just called me and I went out to get the food, a big smile when they give to me their food. They have cameras in their hand, filming me or something. But my attention was caught by the children wearing their school uniforms. When I see them I get the inspiration to endure my hard life and chase my promise and my dream.

Years passed, I was 13 now, and I had a lot of experience, picking up trash, working for easy jobs, and helping the elderly. In my whole life living alone, I never try to steal even though my stomach kept growling in emptiness because I can't forget the one thing my father and mother told me. 

"Even if we're just poor don't steal, it's better to suffer than to steal because if you did something good it would come back to two times or more and our God is always watching you"  Every time I  remember this, I can see their big smile but it's hard to accept they are not in my side anymore.

One day when I go to my usual job I found a wallet and black backpack under the bridge Near to my home. I'm curious so I pick and open it. when I open the wallet, I saw a lot of money and cards that were not familiar to me, so I went to the lost and found. 

When I got there, there was an old woman who did not know what to do, so I walked toward her to give her the bag and wallet, but a policeman grab my shirt on my back and knocked me down. 

He took the wallet I was holding and handed it to the old woman, his grip on my hand was too tight that almost my small arm broke. Then they would have tried to lock me up but the old woman stopped him. 

I didn't know what to do. When he let go of me I quickly ran away and left my broken slippers behind. I never looked back because my father said the police were imprisoning the stubborn boy. There is only one thing in my mind, escaped.

When I arrived at my little house I took the money I saved and live next town it's not safe here anymore, but when I'm on the bridge the police and the old woman were there. 

I would have run again but the police picked me up again. As I looked at the policeman my tears came out and my money in the can fell, I would pick up my can but he picked it up. 

The old woman approached me and put me in the black car. Here I am already praying because dad says a black car is a bad person. just a few hours passed we reach the palace house and entered at a large gate, 

when someone open the car door I quickly ran out to escape them. but the three large dogs chased me. I didn't know what to do because of that I pretended to be dead. However, they just licked my body while the old woman approached me and then smiled. 

She told me her dog wouldn't hurt if I were a good child. When I heard this I quickly ran to the gate. Luckily,  they didn't try to chase me but when I reach the large gate, there was another policeman. My mind was fast, I also pretended to be dead to fool him but the policeman just smiled. 

I didn't know what to do so I just tried to sleep, but I can't sleep. I just decide to stand up and approached the old woman and knelt to beg. However, she just smiled and hugged me. 

I was surprised by what she did because I am stink and my clothes were already months old and I didn't have a bath. In her expensive dress, she did not hesitate to embrace me tightly. She said me if I wanted to be her grandson but I don't know what to say to her. 

I looked at the gate to see if the police were gone. When I see the police were not there I push the old woman weakly to escape from her. Fortunately, when I push her, she let go of me but when I arrived at the gate the police were just on the side of the wall, he is just smoking. 

He looked at me and smiled again. Seeing his smile I went back to the old woman again and I knelt again. She just answered with a smile and lets me into her big house. I'm surprised when the two woman grabs my hands and bring me to the big door. 

Her bathroom is enough for me to live in. The woman on my left undress me and also my shorts. Because of the beauty of the old woman's bathroom, I didn't notice I'm already naked, soaking in the bathtub. I look at my hand I'm already clean the dust and dirt are gone from my body. 

My eyes widened, I would run but I'm sitting on the lap of the girl behind me and one is in front of me. I know, I can feel her breast, they are also naked. I'm embarrassed to look at their face. I just gazing the ceiling while covering my sword with my hands. One f the girl wipe my body with the towel and touched my sword. She looks at me and smiles while the girl behind me seems to do something. I just wait for them to finish and I go out and went straight to the old woman. 

While walking I realized she was a kind person so I decided to accept her offer. 

I arrived at the door, I don't know how it works. This is my first time seeing like this, there is no handle to open the door, minutes pass, and I"m still standing at the front door, I just waiting for someone to open the door.

The woman who bathed me approached then she slide the door, I'm amazed at what she did, she looked at me and smiled and I quickly go inside. The old woman was there, sitting on the expensive chair, which is soft and long. I told her that I want to accept her offer. When she heard I agree, she answer with a big smile on her old lips.

Before I left I asked her why she wanted me as her grandson, but she only gave one answer 

"regret" she said with a smile. 

before I left I asked her.

"Why are you looking for me now when my mother and father, as well as grandpa, are dead" I left at the same time. I don't know why I said that. I looked at her she just, looked at her table.

A year passed, and I called her grandmother and she taught me what I want to learn. She wanted me to study in high quality, but I refused it because I would be embarrassed her because I was an idiot, 

because of that I only went to public school. Our life was happy but when I turned eighteen years old I separated from her to support myself because I  didn't want to depend on her for my entire life.

Even though it was sad when I left her, she accepted my decision, I thanked her that she considered me a real grandchild. She gave me everything what I need.

Women friends did not become fashionable with me. While studying is just really studying. When I left for my grandmother it became easy for me to find a job, I joined a big company. I threw away all the important stuff, and in just 3 years I became president of my company.

I was happy that I got my dream, but when morning came I lay down on my expensive bed, I was so happy that I was rich and had a lot of money enough for me to live, but why does something seem to be missing in my life.

I wonder what it is but I can't remember. I went out of the house and took a walk. I even made my way to the bridge where I used to live. I remember when I saw the house I made, made of cardboard and plywood.  

Not as good as before but still standing. I smiled and I remembered my old days. I took more walks and somehow I knew very well the twists and turns in this place. While walking, I laugh at myself. I was so happy in my mind about why I did those things.  I stopped at the front of the family restaurant and peeked inside. 

Families eating together, and I stared at a table where the couple and a child were eating, I could see the child myself. I realized that what I lacked was a family. For my work, I forgot who raised me. 

I forgot my promise to my mother that I would build her a big house and to my dad a car so that he would not have to walk to work.

My tears suddenly flowed, as I decided to go to their grave to thank them and ask for apology for my sin but I didn't know there was a big truck behind me that lost its brakes and hit hard my back.

In an instant, the work I had worked so hard for years and my promise to them I had not fulfilled. Dead on spot happened. 

What a disgrace I did to my grandfather and my parents. A promise I never fulfilled I'll just prefer...

I feel like I'm falling fast and someone is talking in my mind. I don't pay attention to it maybe my father is talking in his sleep again.

"Grandpa, I want to rest" while my eyes closed as if I didn't feel anything.
