The son seemed unsure, sitting in front of his house on the large suitcase that he dragged on with him. He felt an emptiness around him and looked around himself. There was nobody around the house, though he heard some movement inside.
The father came out of the door to see the son sitting on a suitcase with his face in his arms. He walked down the steps and stood in front of his son.
The son looked up to see his father standing near him. He stood up, but they did not utter a word. They stood looking at each other
The father finally spoke, “At last, you got some time to come. She waited for you for so long and the lamp went off without any fuel. I hope your work gives you the happiness you were looking for”
The son looked down at the ground, hanging his head in shame. They stood facing each other for an eternity and the silence hung heavy in the air.
