-Story coming up at every Wednesday-
It was Christmas evening. White snow covered the streets and buildings. People were laughing and making Christmas trees for Christmas. Children played snowball fights, rode a ski, and played along with their friends. And in the big, fancy house, there was a boy who was sitting on the window and was watching the scenery through it. The boy's name was Brill Walten. He is now 13, and he will be 14 years old when the next year begins.He looked somewhat sad. Because today was his birthday but nobody congratulated him. There was no cakes, yummy supper, and no warmth. He sighed and was about to go back to studying when, "Walten! What on earth are you doing!!" A loud, harsh voice came behind the boy's back. Walten jumped. "F..Father!" The poor boy was shivering with fear. "I thought I told you to sit down on your chair and study for the test I have told you about, didn't I?" Walten's father said in a angry voice and it made Walten feel frighten. "I.. I was-" Walten tried to explain but his father cut him off. "No excuses! You disobeyed my command.." Walten lowered his head. He didn't say anything. If he says one more word again, his father would get really, really mad. Walten's father was a scary man. His name was Brill Antony. He had a narrow eyes and a long-stitched mustache. He was a strict man who didn't even smiled to his son. He was the chairman of the CA company. The only strength of him was that he had lots of money. "I will give you one more chance. Now, go back to studying!" Walten's father snapped at him.
...
A few hours later, Walten was checked the testes by his father. He glanced at his father. His firm ex-pression made Walten shiver. "Hmm." His father said finally. "You are all correct" Walten smiled, relieved. He glanced at his father. Maybe now, he could tell about his birthday party. "Um, father?" Walten asked, not daring to look at his eyes correctly. "Yes?" His father replied. "Today.. is my birthday." Walten's father raised an eyebrow at him. "So?" Walten continued, "May I- may I have a party? I want to have a party together.. with everybody in this house" There was a silence. Then, a low, harsh voice came out loud, "What did I just hear?" Walten froze. He regretted saying that. His father didn't appreciate him saying that words. "I- I mean, I don't have to do anything.. just- I, I'll go studying now." Walten hurried up to the stairs and into his room.
...
Knock, knock. "Walten, can I come in?" A girl just about Walten's age knocked his door. Walten didn't want to let anyone in, he wanted to be alone. "Can you come later, whoever that is?" Walten shouted behind the door. "You know.. I might make you feel better." A voice came out. "I said, GO AWAY" Walten shouted. The girl was silent for a minute. Walten thought she went away. When he opened the door to check if she had gone or not, something moved behind his back and a second later, he found the girl in his room, looking at him. "Hey- what-" Walten tried to say something. But then, he stopped. He saw a beautiful charming girl. The girl's hair was blond and was brown-colored. Her eyes were blue and were shining like a diamond. "Hi. My name is Rosa." The girl smiled. Walten felt his face burning and his hear pounding. "Who.. are you?" Walten asked. Then, he saw her clothes that looked like.. "Oh, are you a servant in this house?" Walten asked again. "Yes I am." The girl replied. Walten was surprised. "What are you doing here then. And how did you become a servant? You are so.. young to be a servant!" "My parents work here, so I have to work for your house too." Rosa said, showing somewhat sad ex-pression on her face.. "Oh.. okay ..umm... Do you have something to say?" "I just heard.. that today was your birthday, so.." Rosa took something out of her pocket. "So I thought of giving you a small present." Walten's eyes got widened. "What a beautiful gloves! Is that for me?" "Of course. I hope you feel better now. Oh, I need to get to the kitchen now. Your father would be mad if he sees I'm not working." "Okay.. Bye then. It was nice to meet you." Walten waved his hand while Rosa left his room. Walten smiled and put on the gloves the girl had given. It was the warmest moment he had ever had.
