ContinueI woke up early the next morning. After I had put on fresh clothes, I went down to the kitchen. Mom and dad were already there.
"Good morning mom," I kissed her.
"Good morning dad," I kissed him and sit at the table.
"Do you sleep well?" mom asked and hand me a plate of scramble eggs and bacon.
"Yes, and I'm very hungry right now," I said and grin widely.
"Alex called just now. He asked you to call him back," dad said.
"He's such a nice boy. He always makes the orphanages feel happy," mom said.
"What do you mean?" I asked her.
"I thought you knew about it already," mom said.
"Why don't you ask him yourself," dad suggested. After I had finished with the breakfast, I picked up the phone and dial his number.
"Hello," it was him who picked up the phone.
"Hi, it's me," I said.
"Oh, hi Sara," he sound very happy.
"Do you have anything to do today?" he asked.
"No," I answered shortly.
"Great," he sounds very glad.
"Do you want to help me giving out new clothes to the orphanages?" he asked again. So what mom had just told me is true.
"Yeah sure. I love to," I answer back happily.
"Great. I'll pick you up in ten minutes," he said and I put the phone down.
"Mom, can I go with Alex to give out new clothes for the orphanages?" I asked her.
"Why not? sure you can go," mom said.
When Alex and I entered the Playing room, some of the kids were watching television and some were playing with each other. One boy saw Alex and quickly ran towards him.
"Alex is here!" he told the others. Alex picked him up and hugged him. The other kids rushed towards him.
"I've a surprise for all of you!" he announced.
"Hooray!" they shout.
"But before that, I want to introduce to all of you." He said and grip my arm.
"This is my friend. Her name is Sara," he told them.
"Hi Sara. nice to meet you," they said.
They look very happy when we distributed the clothes to them. All of us sit on the floor and some went to try the new clothes. Then a little girl with blonde hair came to me.
"Hi Sara," she said in tiny and shy voice. I pulled her down to my laps.
"Hi, what's your name?" I asked.
"My name is as same as yours," she answered.
"You're very beautiful. I like your eyes," she said.
"You too have pretty eyes," I told her and it makes her blushed.
"How old are you?" I asked again.
"Six," she answered.
"Alex is lucky to have such a pretty friend like you," she said.
"And I'm lucky to have a beautiful little friend like you," I said.
"Oh really? You want to be my friend?" she sound very excited.
"I don't have a sister. Every night I pray to god to give me a big sister," she told me.
"Well I don't have any sibling. I can be your sister if you want to," I said.
"Thank you so much. You're very nice, I finally had my wish come true," she said excitedly. Then I kissed her.
When it was time for us to leave, they looked very sad, especially Sara.
"Don't be sad. I'll come here every weekend," I told her, and she grin widely. I am very happy to see her smiling.
In the car, Alex turns to me and asked, "Do you want to go home or going to some other place?" I don't feel like going home right now. All I want to do is to stay with him for as long as I can.
"No, I don't feel like going home," I said. He looked happy about it. "We can take a walk if you want to," I suggest.
"That will be great," he said and started the car.
This is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. We are at a park; there are lots of colorful flowers all around us. We sat down on a green color bench.
"Do you always go there, to the orphanage?" I asked.
"Yes, whenever I'm free I'll go there. I'm very happy to see their smile," he said.
"You must like them very much," I said slowly. He looked down and his hair covered his eyes. Then he turned to me slowly, I can see pain in his eyes.
"Because, I'm one of them," he said slowly in icy tone and he looked down again.
Oh God! Alex, is an, orphan. I don't care whether he is an orphan or not, I still love him very much. I pushed away his hair and titled his face up.
