  “What….?” Charlie mumbled. “He, he did sell who…?”

 “I’m sorry. He gave Elin to the slaver.”

 Harry said

 Charlie couldn’t believe his years. He couldn’t believe Harry who said Charlie’s daughter was given to the slaver who sells slaves to south people.

 “Do not lie to me. It… it cannot happen. My… my master told me that he’ll not gave Elin to the slaver. No… something’s wrong…”

 “I’m so sorry.”

 Harry left so Charlie could have his time alone.

 ‘Master was just lying to make me calm down… Now how could I live without her? How can I bear this life without her love?’

 Charlie thought.

 Tear fall from his eyes. He was mad and shocked and extremely sad. He couldn’t believe what just happened.

 “You’re late to work, chief. Now come out and cook lunch.” (Yes, Charlie was a chef.)

 Judy who was a supervisor of slaves opened the door of men slave’s cabin and called Charlie.

 Charlie responded and went out to start work.

  Yes, Charlie was a slave. Slave who lived in late 1840s at America. His parents were handsome and beautiful Mulato. Mulato is kind of people who have blood of both white and black. But if they just looked like a white people but if they had even one drop of black’s blood, they were treated as a black people.

 And you might know, every black people in those times were treated as an object or beast. Or maybe worse than them. In those times people didn’t care or worry about black people’s emotion or life or health. They just treated them as working cow or something. So of course they didn’t care whether black people’s family be separated or not. That’s why Charlie’s master just selled his daughter, Ellin without notice or agree.

  That night, all black slaves returned to cabins where they sleep.
 Also Charlie went to the cabin where all man slaves sleep. Charlie was still in a state of shock, anger and depression.

 It was late night. Everybody in the cabin was sleeping, except Charlie. He couldn't stop thinking of his daughter who was selled. He already lost his wife, Olivia, who was dead few years ago because of disease. He couldn't lose his love anymore. How can he live without any love? He made his mind. He woked up his friend Harry.

 "Huh...? Already morning...?"

 Harry mumbled.

 "Shh."

 "Huh?"

 "It's me, Charlie. I just wanna ask you and know where is my daughter."
