An Orphan




Had to go in the backyard to breathe fresh air one drizzly afternoon; alone, but a few students at the center followed me unknowingly. They started asking me a question, which led to random conversations.

I thought it was just a banter or a natter to give two hoots, but it turned out something unexpected–one’s confession that was a bolt from the blue–a sad story of an orphan didn’t know if it wasn’t for someone to strike up an interchange. I heard him. I agonized. My heart groaned for I’d been there, yet I didn’t turn a hair.
