Chapter 2 - A New Life

It was the first time ever

Next morning, while she was having breakfast, she was given the glad tidings that a family is coming to adopt her.

She was so gleeful that she flee to her room and started to pack up. Her foster parents came and took her to the restaurant where they worked.

A few days went by and she was treated in the best manner until one day when Mr and Mrs John, her foster parents, took her to the restaurant too. Their behaviour changed all of a sudden and they made her clean the place, wash the dishes, serve the guests and work all day. She never had an ordinary childhood and wanted to join school like all the other kids in her town.

One day she gathered some courage and said "mom! Dad! Can I please go to school? I want to study and know about different things."

"No Edalfa! We need you here at the restaurant." Mrs Jhon said.

"Please!" Edalfa pleaded.

"Well, you can go to the school if you will give enough time to the restaurant too." Mr John offered.

"I will!I promise!"

Edalfa started the school soon and performed well. She was grounded sometimes for getting 'B' in any test but she always strived hard and did her best.
