Chapter:4 Life is not a bed of rose

Professor Jian scold you for your homework??"

Soojee: "Mom.... It's not about homeworks, it's about the school fees...

Milan's smiley face fell silent after hearing her:

" Then.. then what did he say?"

Soojee: "He said, I haven't paid my school fees for the past 3 months. So, I have to pay all the fees in this month. (Sadly).

Milan sighed: "Okay, I'll see this.....

Now change your clothes, then come to eat. The dinner is ready".

Milan got out from her room after saying this. She was looking pretty worried. Soojee was looking at her with teary eyes. Then when she left, Soojee lay down on her bed and covered herself with the blanket.

Tomorrow morning~

Soojee's family got together in the dining table. They were having breakfast. Soojee just came out from her room and sat on the dinning table.

Liam: Good morning Soojee. Did you sleep well?

Soojee: "Yes, dad." (she was still upset about yesterday).

Milan came out from from the kitchen and said:

"Then why are you making a long face huh??

Friday is a happy day. We should be happy today".

Milan sat on a chair after saying that. Seeing her mother, Soojee spoke out: " Mom, what did you think about my school fees?"

Everyone fell silent after hearing her.

Milan: "Huh... What?..." (she got upset)

Soojee: " Mom, I've told you about this yesterday".

Milan: "Ooh, Yes."

Soojee: "Then... Will you pay the fees

in this month??"

Milan: "umm....Sojee, can you tell your Professor that, we'll pay the fees in the next month?"

Soojee: "But mom It's not fare!!!" (Shouted loudly).

"The school doesn't teach me in gratis! you have to the pay the fees today or tomorrow. You....

(she couldn't finish her words).

" Soojee! How dare you to talk like that?? No matter what happens, you have to understand your family's situation. (He lost his temper).

Soojee burst in tears and said: "You don't know, what situation I face!".

She left the house after saying this. Her dad tried to stop her but he couldn't. Soojee ran down to the ground floor. Then she sat on the stairs.

She was crying so badly.....

then she remembered the scene, when Professor Jian was scolding her for the fees:....

Soojee was in the class. Then suddenly the Professor came to the class with a bad temper and threw a paper on Soojee's face: " Soojee!".

Soojee got shocked by his Shouting: "ye.. yes sir?"

"When did you last pay the school fees? Can you tell me?! You haven't paid the fees for the last 3 months...!"

Soojee: Ss..sir, I will pay the fee soon...

Soojee was looking around and feeling embarrassing because the whole class was staring at her.

"Listen! If you can't pay the school fees in this month, you will be expelled from this school!

You're not a brilliant student that, the school will teach you without any expenses!!"

The Professor left the class after saying. Then, the whole class started whispering which was making Soojee embarrassed, she doesn't want her friends to know that, her family has short of money. Soojee lowered her head and looked at the warning notice paper which was thrown at her by the Professor. then a drop of tears fell from her eyes on the paper...(The scene ended).

After she remembered the scene, she started crying loudly....

Suddenly, a long pair of legs stood infront of her.

She looked up while wiping her tears.

Then, the stranger said: "Do you want to have some candy??"

Soojee: "who are you??"
