Ella, a very educated woman decided to marry Nick, who grew up in a very poor family. Not like Ella he only finished schooling up to Grade-III, But Nick was intelligent, although he wasn't given the chance to finish educating himself. Ella was abandoned by her parents because of here decision.
After 2 years, their love bore up a baby girl. She grew up very beautiful, smart and nice. Now that Nick knew that he is already a father, he needs to strive hard for his family.
In the morning, he works in the port as a cargo man. And in the evening as a janitor in one of the clubs in their
town. Most of the time, he goes home at 3 AM and rose up from bed at 6 AM. He could sometimes earn a high fever but still, this wouldn't stop him to go to work. " I will still work no matter what happens. I don't want Kayla to
be like me. Who grew up with no chance to educate himself.
The couple never failed to Kayla. As a reward, she gave them high grades.
After many years, Kayla will finally graduate from elementary and as a valedictorian. Her parents especially the father was very excited.
On the Graduation Day, the father hurriedly went to the mall to buy a gift for Kayla. The ceremony would start at 10 AM. Five more minutes to go and the program will start but still Nick wasn't there yet.
Until the ceremony had ended, the father didn't came. Being worried, they hurriedly went home. They were amazed on what they saw. Along the street, there were many people and an ambulance. Being curious, they went to see it.
There eyes grew big to see the father lying on the street bathed with its own blood. And on his side was a paper bag and inside was a stuff toy. She cried " Why father... why?"
