She lazily removed the cloth sheet from her body and YAWNED without sitting straight.THEN looked through window of the room and it was bright day outside...SEEMS ! She was late but it was alright because her aunt never complained if she woke early or late.
She was only five years old.
Two years before, when she started to NOTICE that her neighbor friends had their mother and father but her was different.
She only had uncle and aunt.
She asked her aunt where was her mother that she replied patiently that her MOTHER had died when she gave birth to her.
She WEPT several days for this revelation.
But her uncle and aunt were affectionate toward her that make her forget about her parents with time!!
"Gem....gem....gem", she was just woke up and she heard it.
She knew it was Li, house owner"s son who barely started uttering few words and called her JEN as GEM.
She was never annoyed instead she always felt PLEASING to her ears.
She woke up and hurried toward Li who was about to FELL with his tottered steps.
Though she herself was five years old but she always felt herself as his big sister_ when she started using her eyes to see_she found herself in this house_!!
Though her uncle and aunt were greatly kindhearted toward her... still she felt loneliness sometime but when Li came into existence_ she felt herself overly joyed_ Li was son of her benefactors her uncle and aunt_!!
Now she could play all day long with Li...!! though she knew that her days of CAREFREE life were going to end soon... she would be sent for admissions in Primary Grade Level Manner Inst.i.tute... to learn manners and behavior for her next SCHOOLING and life as well and eventually would not be able to SPEND carefree time with Li.
She hurried toward Li and grabbed Li from fall.
Li showed his new wooden TOY which his father just bought for him to play and Li was EAGER to show to her.
She praised his toy and PROMISED to spare time for play_ then CAME out from her room and washed her up in BATH_ changed her dress and came out in front of open kitchen_ she SAT in front of her AUNT.
Looking at her, her aunt brought a WARM EXPRESSION on her face_ while pouring a cup of TEA and porridge.
"TOMORROW you would head toward Primary Grade Level Manner Inst.i.tute_ with your UNCLE for your ADMISSION_ remember to PACK necessary CLOTHES and things you wanted there_ you would live there for two YEARS_ !!" her aunt completed her sentence bringing a SMILE on her face_!!
JEN was eating apparently_ while she was SHOCKED to hear that she would be there for whole two years.
There were many THINGS to do before next day_ she HURRIED to pack everything she NEEDED still it took for hours_ she went to meet her ONLY friend and neighbors.
She went to take a look at fields... where she used to stroll during evenings... and before evening came back.
When she entered the DOOR she saw Li playing under a temporary bamboo constructed roof.
She scanned through SURROUNDING_ she felt UNEASE_ she was UNSURE what was that_ whatever she went straight to Li and GRABBED his hand and RAN from temporary bamboo constructed roof_ as soon as she left the shadow of ROOF_ roof FELL immediately.
Meanwhile her aunt WITNESSED this incident even she could not move to HELP_because she felt that her feet were frozen to ground due to fear and was unable to CRY for help even.
After a short INCENSE of time she ran toward Li_ and embraced them frantically and kissed several TIMES Jen.
She was sure that if it was not Jen_ her son might not be ALIVE these moments_ it was due to Jen timely conscience that her family was SAVED from this disaster.
She embraced Jen once more and looked at her and smiled and said, "My brave daughter_!!"
Her aunt was always KIND to her and this kindness helped her to develop properly in these years_ she LOVED the house where she lived_ loved the people those showed affection to her and help under means_/!!
Her UNCLE came in the evening after plough in the fields and was told the happening of bamboo roof_ he was GRATEFUL as well for her timely help_ and went to her room_ and gave a beautiful HAIRPIN as GIFT for her courage which he BOUGHT from market when he headed toward home.
She saw hairpin_ it was simple iron hairpin_ but the AFFECTION with which her uncle gave her was exquisite and PRICELESS.
Though it was EVENING but she hurriedly combed her hair_ and fitted that hairpin properly_ or what she thought that it looked better_ then she ran to show it her aunt and receive some COMPLEMENTS from her!ยก!
Her aunt was happy to see that she LIKED the GIFT.
