Flashback.
At that time, Emily was at the emergency stair. She was sitting on one of the steps. Beside her, there was still food that had not been touched at all.
Emily is holding the cell phone and talking to her father.
"Why don't you come home?" Emily asked with a sad tone of voice.
"I have some things to take care of. Don't worry because it won't take long."
"Not long? Hasn't you been not going home for almost a month?" quipped Emily,
"Has it been that long? I'm sorry, Emily. I can't leave my job yet. But I promise I'll finish my assignment soon,"
"Yeah… I hope you don't break your promise. Uhmm, Dad?" Emily was contemplating whether she should ask about the rumors circulating.
"What's wrong, honey? Ahh, I remember! Next week is your birthday, right?"
Emily straightened her face, "You remember my birthday?!"
"Of course, I remember an important day for my beloved daughter. Now tell me. What gift do you want?"
