Chapter 1

Author's POV

When the sun light fell on her face, Amelia woke up. 

She looked at the watch and saw it was 5 in the morning. 

Amelia gets down from the bed and went towards her closest. She took out her clothes from the closet then she entered the washroom..

After taking a long bath, she wrapped a towel around her then came out

She stood in front of her mirror and starts drying her hair. 

When she was done with her hair, she wears her dress then came out of her room. 

When she came out she saw her parent's room was still closed. 

"Mommy is still sleeping. Strange! Mommy always woke up before me" Amelia whispered. 

"Mommy must be tired" Whispering this she entered the kitchen and started making breakfast..

For taking eggs Amelia opens the fridge and she saw there is only two eggs are left..

Sighing sadly, she took two eggs and starts making breakfast for her mommy and daddy..

"I need to buy some vegetables, and groceries" Thinking this Amelia complete making breakfast..

After cooking she took a note and starts making the list of the groceries those she needs.. 

After making the list when she opened her phone and at her bank balance. She saw she has only 700$. 

Amelia sighed sadly then opened her wallet when she saw she has only 70$ in her wallet her face went pale. 

"If I cast out my bank balance then I able to buy the groceries. I have to do it. I can not let mommy do all" Amelia thought then looked at the wall clock. 

She saw it was 6 in the morning. 

"Mommy has to join shop at 7 also daddy needs to take his medicine. I need to wake them now" Thinking this Amelia walked towards her parent's room and knock at the door. But she didn't get a response. She knocks again..

When she didn't get a response this time too. She opens the door and entered his room but found only her dad was sleeping on the bed. Her mommy wasn't in the room. 

Thinking this she must be at washroom Amelia called her mommy but she did not get any responses...

"That means she again gone to work at night" Amelia whispered to her then looked at her sleeping daddy. Amelia looked at her weak daddy. She knows her daddy is getting weak day by day. He needs good treatment but for this, they need to give high money which they don't have enough money. 

Amelia's eyes went watery. She let her daddy sleep until her mommy came back. 

She comes out from the room..

Sitting on a chair she started waiting for her mommy.  

After some time her mother entered home with a bag..

Seeing him Amelia stands up and walked towards her..

"Where were you, mom? I was worried?" Amelia asked her..

"I am sorry for making you worried, my baby. Actually, there was a party at my shop owner's Mansion. So I went there to work" Jenny replied to her and sit on a couch..

"You again worked as a waiter at the Mansion. Why mom? I told You that you don't need to do overtime. You already have three part-time jobs. Then why do you still work at night? You need rest mom" Amelia told her in her caring tone..

"They offered me a big amount baby. Your father's medicine is about to finish baby. I need to buy his medicine. So I agreed also we need to pay house rent, electronic, gas, water bill. Also, your exam is coming soon. You need to pay the exam fee" Jenny said to her daughter..

"Mommy, I was thinking to join a company and do a part-time job," Amelia said to her..

"No baby, please don't think about this. It was your parents dream to see you as a successful woman. And for us, you need to fulfill it. In your whole life, we were not able to give you anything, baby. We will feel ashamed if you do a job avoiding your study" Jenny said to her..

Hearing this Amelia felt proud to have them as her parents. She gets up hearing this a brought a glass of water for her mommy..

Jenny looked at the water glass and forward her hand to take the glass but as soon as her hand touched with the glass. She hissed in pain and remove her hand...

"What happened, mommy?" Amelia asked her and holds her hand..

Jenny tried to remove her hand but Amelia holds tightly and saw a brunt mark on her hand..

Seeing this tears rolled down on Amelia's cheeks. Before Jenny wipes her tears Amelia runs towards the washroom to bring medicine...

Holding her hand softly Amelia applied the medicine on her mark and made her drink the water...

Seeing the sad look on Amelia's face Jenny speaks up," I am fine. Just one guest mistakenly throw hot food on my hand baby. I am perfectly fine" 

Hearing this Amelia looked at her and speaks up," Do you trying to convince me or yourself, mommy?  I know someone throws that hot food on your hand intentionally. Just because we are low-class people" 

Jenny looked down because she knows her daughter has already caught her lie. 

For changing the topic, Jenny hands over the nag to Amelia and speaks up," I brought some groceries baby. Please make food quickly baby. Your daddy needs to take medicine. Also, I am so hungry"

Amelia smiled sadly at her and took the bag then speaks up," I already made it. Go get fresh then come out. And mommy I made the groceries list. I will buy it after my class" 

Jenny smiled and cupped her face," Baby, I know we are going through a bad time but still, I can not use the money which you earned from your hard work. You keep the money baby. Use it for your educational purposes" 

"But, mommy, I do not like it when you kept working day and night for us. I want to help you" Amelia said. 

"You can help me, baby. When you will get a great job then I will stop working and do only relax then. But know you need to do your study properly. Okay?" Jenny asked her. 

Amelia nodded at her.  

Jenny smiled and kissed her daughter's head then walked towards her room..

After getting ready, Jenny woke up Matthew and helped him to get fresh up. 

Jenny helped him to sit on his wheelchair then came out. 

Then they eat the breakfast together. 

After this Amelia left for her university. And as her mommy worked at night she stayed at home to take some rest.
