It's been nearly a week since their parents left. But it felt like a whole damn year. At first, she thought she wouldn't make it, but looking at Syl made her feel a bit stronger... Just a bit.

"Natalie!... Natalie! " Syl yelled from their backyard.
"What's wrong dear? " I asked.
"It's Gad. He called me a stupid orphan. " He said with tears in his eyes. For that moment, his words hit me like a blow in the head but the I remembered... I had to be strong.

So I bent over and wiped his tears and said with the biggest smile I could afford... "You know what, in life, you don't have to argue with idiots... If he claims you're an orphan, cmon, don't cry. Just nod and say 'you're right'. Then and there you'll know you've won. "

With those words, Syl started laughing... So funny I had to join him. After a while we just sighed and looked at each other and he said... "We can make it... I know we can"... Such strength from a kid got me... I stood up and said... " Race me to the balcony... Last person is a rotten papaya... "I ran off laughing as I heard him yell... " You're the rotten papaya "... He ran after me, laughing.
