“Joshua,, its already 6 o'clock in the morning, hurry up and take a bath now" .

A gently voice of Joshua's mother who was busy preparing food for a breakfast .

"Mom? that is our last property that we have after dads gone".

His mother sighed ,and said , "hurry up, finish your food ,you need to go to school before you late".

She felt guilt , heart breaking and got a tinge of tears in her eyes when she heard what his son said .

Joshua didn't know that her mother has a serious illness right now.

Because his mother wants Joshua not to worry ,she choose to hide it from him .

When his son was gone out and can't out of sight she rushed to go in the ketchin and vomits over and over again until a pure  thick  blood comes out in her mouth .

Everytime she vomit, she feels pain in her stomach, the feeling that she can't breath causing her face  turned to pale.

Joshua's mother has a stage 4 liver cancer as the doctor said ,that she might be able to live just in one month.

She immediately go to her room and pick up some medicine that she bought in the pharmacy when she remember the doctors prescription.

While Joshua walking along the road he could not help but to think his mom, he's worried about his mothers eyes earlier .

He sighed and smile then continue to walked .

There house is seven kilometre distance from the university and everyday he only walked no matter what, it's hot or it's a heavy rain.
