Rosa was hungry and cold and scared, It was the middle of the night and there aren't many people at this hour, She hugged herself trying to warm her body but it didn't work the weather was too cold her body was shaking from the cold weather.
Remembering her father, No he is not her father and that explains why they always treated her that way, But why would her real mother give her away, Does she not want her too?
Rosa wondered why everyone hated her she tried to not cry and not think about all of this but she was a young child only eleven years old with no home no parents to love and protect her so how she could not be scared
Some people who passed by, thought that she is homeless so the brought to her some food, Young Rosa was very happy that she finally got to eat something, After she finished her food she closed her eyes to have some sleep but morning seems to come very fast Rosa was wakened by the noise of the passing cars and the people who were on there to their jobs.
She got up and dusted off her clothes, looking at the people who were taking their children to school Rosa felt sad she has no father and mother now and she could no longer go to the school, Wiping her face with her tiny hands she started to roam the streets not knowing where she is going.
It was almost midnight again and Rosa didn't eat anything, And to make things worse the sky started to rain heavily that night, she found someplace to take shelter from the heavy rain
Rosa continued to look at the rain as she was thinking what she is going to do, If she continued to walk on the streets like this the child services in will catch her and they will put her in orphanage home, And she doesn't want to go there, she felt hopeless and scared she only could pray for the God for some miracle to happen to her.
...
Rosa didn't know when she fell asleep when she felt a someone shaking her shoulder to wake her, When she opened her eyes she found an old man In front of her she couldn't see his face clearly because of her bad eyesight.
" Are you lost? " the old man asked her
Rosa was afraid that this man is from the child services and will take her to the orphanage home. "please don't take to the orphanage home." The old man could see the fear in young girl eyes as she begged him to not take her to the orphanage home.
Poor girl, the old man thought she must have run away from the orphanage home that she was in.
" I won't take you alright.' The old man spoke to her slowly trying to not scare her then she already is "Come with me." The man offered his hand to her but Rosa took a step back.
If there was anything good that her fake parents have taught that she should not talk to the strangers.
"You don't have to be afraid I won't hurt you.' The old man spoke to her gently as he squatted down to her level patting her head gently.
Rosa was now looking at the old man with teary eyes no one has ever talk to her this nice except for her teacher. "are you hungry? " the old man asked noticing the sounds that her stomach was making for a while now.
Rosa nodded her head looking at the man who got up on his feet now and offered his hand for her to take again.
