2 years later
Martha and Steve started dating for a while, and they
eventually get married after 2 years when Steve was 40 and
Martha 35. They go on to raise a beautiful son a year after their
marriage. Steve names his son Joshua, after his friend who's the
only person in his life who cared about him.
5 years later
Joshua grows on to be five. He grew up with nothing but
pure love from both his parents, especially Steve. Steve handled
him with gentle care and protection, and never allowed a single
scratch on him. Steve wanted his son to be a strong hero than a
coward like his dad. Steve finally filled the void in his soul and
finally came to terms with his life was truly contempt. He was
the most happiest person in the world.
One fine day, it was time for Joshua's first day of school.
Steve looked forward to this day and prepared his son to be bold
and strong just like his mother. Steve sat near the bus stop with
his son next to him waiting for the bus. Steve starts to slowly
weep at the side of his eyes, and Joshua upon seeing this asked,
Joshua: Daddy, why are you crying? (with a sad voice)
Steve : I ain't crying, son. It's just the dust. I'm just happy to see
you go to school. I've been waiting for this day all my life, kid. I
still remember my first day of my school. My parents didn't
come for my first day. All I had was my friend Joshua at that
time.
Joshua: Joshua ?? Dad that's so cool. Your friend is named after
me. Bet he was kind person.
Steve: (whimpers)
You bet he was. He was a great man. He was the eye of my life.
Guess who's the apple of my eye now ?
Joshua: Me ! Me ! Me!.
Steve : You're goddamn right son.
Well, I guess it's time for your bus. All the best for your school
now, kid. Be kind to everyone, have fun and don't hurt anybody.
Always remember, kindness wins over anything. Learn to say no
to things you don't want. Hope you find your "Joshua" in school.
You little kid, are going to have everything I never had as a child.
I'm going to be the best father in the world and raise you unlike
anything my dad ever did. You are the most beautiful thing that
ever happened to me, kid. I want you to know that. You'll always
be the little sunshine of my life, Joshua. He gives him a yellow
hanky to him as a symbol of luck.
(whimpers)
Joshua embraces and hugs his father. The bus arrives and Steve
carries Joshua to the bus and leaves him in the seat and wishes
him luck. He waves goodbye and Joshua leaves for his first day of
school. Steve is overjoyed and waits in the bus stop until Joshua
comes. He can't wait to see him.
