96 Life is like a play

I had to admit the sight of a young girl, closer to my age in those ragged clothes consoling her mother who seemed too exhausted to even speak struck a cord inside my heart.

Sensing that someone had entered, both of them looked at me who was standing by the door.

Maybe they saw the high-quality clothes that I was wearing or maybe it was because of my handsome face.

Whatever the reason was, upon seeing me the young girl got scared,

"M-Mister, you must be from the electricity department."

"It's only one day more since the deadline passed."

"I have already got a job and will surely pay the bills."

"Please don't cut off our electricity. My mother is sick and needs constant warmth. We can live without light and fan but if there is no electricity, the heater won't be able to turn on and mother will feel cold."

"Please Mister."

-the young girl hurriedly kneeled over and begged me in her most desperate tone.
