You’re my brave daughter. Don’t cry...” Her father wiped tears off her cheeks and kissed her cheek.“Laura has money! Wait.” Laura ran to her room.Her father stayed there, sitting on the floor. His heart ached at the thought of leaving his family behind. But duty calls.After a while, he noticed Laura running towards him with something big in her hands.“See Daddy! Laura has money. We can use this...” saying this, she threw her piggy bank which shattered into pieces.“LAURA!” it was too late to stop her. Looking at the scattered coins, he deliberately collected them into a pile.“Laura, keep saving money. When Daddy will become old, he

Laura was in her deep slumber when the alarm shook the house awake. Her eyes still closed, she tried to shut the alarm by banging it a few times. Rubbing the remaining of her sleep, she unlocked her phone. She was yawning but then suddenly stopped in between as she saw a message, ‘Laura, please wake me up early in the morning tomorrow.If I don’t receive the call, come to my house and kick me awake.BUT DO NOT FORGET TO WAKE ME UP! :(I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO SWIM!! T_T ‘ Laura sighed at the message. “Silly girl,” she mumbled as she got down her bed.Slipping into a pair of pink slippers, she went to the bathroom to have a nice hot shower. Coming out of the bathroom, she quickly checked the time.“Seventeen more minutes,” she spoke as she rushed to her wardrobe.Slipping into the set of a swimming

But tell me one thing, how did you know that I did not take a printout of my report?” the last class was over and Lily asked while packing her stuff into her schoolbag.“I just know. Now take me to McDonald’s. I am hungry.” Laura packed all her belongings and moved out of the class with Lily.The driver drove them to the nearest McDonald’s.“I will be here. Call me when you both are finished.” Kelvin was about to turn on the engine to park the car in the parking lot when he heard a bang on the window.

The last thing she would like to see was this photograph. This photograph alone brought many memories.In the photograph, there was a man in army uniform, a small girl standing beside him and a woman standing next to the small girl. The girl held both of her parents' hands and smiled widely at the camera. Her pearly white teeth smile was adorable, with a few front teet
