donuts right beside her on the bench. It's very beautiful day, the sun is out and
there is a light wind that moves all the leaves around. Suddenly the ball comes near
and she picks it up and throws it back to her son. Then she receives a text on her
cell phone from an anonymous number. She picks her phone and unlock it. What
she sees amazes her. The text from the man says I have sent you job proposal on

the coffee from the cup, she pluck the petals from a flower that she took from the
garden. Starts to think of all the good things that are happening in her life. She
looks at her boys and smile and then looks in the sky and say a silent prayer,
saying thank you for everything that's happening in their life right now. Then she
gathers all the things and go to her car with the boys and starts to drive towards
their home. As the car reaches the house the boys get out of the car and starts to
