“Emma, why that's a lovely name” the old lady with a yellow dress, yellow boots and white hair praised as the two continued walking down towards where Mrs.Zoe lived.
With a bunch of grocery bags on her face Emma asked “Thank you Mrs.Zoe, how long will it take to reach your home?”
“Not that long away from here. It's a thirteen minute walk,” Mrs. Zoe had answered with a big smile on her face.
After a few minutes past, out in dark Mrs. Zoe suddenly said “Emma, would you mind if I told you something, I just need to get this off my chest”
“No problem go ahead” Emma responded with a smile behind the many grocery bags she was carrying.
“Well recently my son has been going through somethings, and I don't know what to do about it makes me feel that I messed up as a mother” Mrs.Zoe Confessed
“Oh… if you don't mind me asking, what had happened to your son then?” Emma requested with a slight resemblance of queasiness in her voice
“His wife had died 2 weeks ago putting him in quite a miserable state for a few days, then his only child passed from a weird heart attack yesterday, with his father already passed 2 years ago. I'm the only one he has left”
The old lady paused for a bit with tears flowing down her cheek. “ I’m already nearing death door to, I don’t want my son to be alone or, do something worse hurt himself!”
With a moment of silence both continued to walk towards Mrs. Zoe’s home. Emma had no clue what to say to the old lady except for “sorry all that had happened to you mrs. Zoe, I don't think that I can help”
“No need to apologize you did nothing, plus telling someone about this feels quite good” Mrs. Zoe replied
“ Actually, thank you for listening to me. It's nice getting these emotions out of my system,” Mrs Zoe said with a bright smile on her face.
After walking in the dark for a bit they had reached a condo with white and black colors.
“Bye Emma this is where I live, and again thank you very much for sparing your time and helping me out” Mrs. Zoe grabbed her groceries from Emma and had waved at her

Emma had gone back to her home in the noisy wave of cars in the night with her own groceries in her hand. Thinking about the old lady Emma had felt her heart start to tense from the nice old lady’s situation.
A few minutes paseses by and she had reached her home, her mother was sleeping on the couch looking like she had finally got the only rest she had gotten thought out the entire year.
She had made some dinner for herself and went to rest for the next day. Entering her room she saw the wishing box in the middle of her bed.
Looking at the box Emma had felt a bit sad about what had happened to Mrs.Zoe and threw it off her bed. The magic box landed towards the east side of the room where her window was.
Thursday 2014 April 30th,
Having already finished with school Emma and scarlett headed towards a cat cafe
The cafe looked pretty spacious with the mix of white walls, dark brown wood tile floor and furniture, gold chandeliers hanging on the roof and a pristine black counter, and a ton of cats and cat toys all over the place. Emma and Scarlett were a bit astonished by the scene. This was the first they had seen so many different cats in one place.
Scarlett had immediately rushed towards the cats and, and the cats were running away from her. The situation had seemed pretty funny to Emma letting out a small giggle when one of the cats had come near her; it was a calico cat with a single eye. She had looked at it and picked it up out of pity for the cat.
After a few moments of playing around Emma ordered Kombucha, which is sweetened black tea. While Scarlet had some Hot chocolates and a few biscuits to share with the cats. Sipping on her Kombucha, Emma had looked out of the window to see the old lady from before but this time wearing a purple coat with a wooden walking stick.
Mrs. Zoe looked towards the left as she was doing her regular morning walk and saw the kid she met yesterday with another girl with blond hair. Wanting to say hello she had entered the cafe where the two girls were.
Emma had greeted mrs.Zoe and introduced her to her friend Scarlett who was sitting next to her, occupied with three different cats a black fluffy one, a calico cat , and a cat with a golden mane
Mrs. Zoe had decided to chat with the young folks imparting some wisdom with them.
“That's why dogs are not better than cats and cats are not better than dogs,”
The two young girls were listening to Mrs. Zoe's lecture attentively. Scarlett had ended up with another ‘favorite animal of the month’ by the end of it.
While Scarlett and Mrs.Zoe had continued to chat Emma was really feeling well especially with Luna’s grandma here it felt like chest had tightened a bit.
As they continued to chat, Emma had let go of her drink and dismissed herself out of the cat cafe. But before she could Mrs. Zoe had spoken.
“Oh Emma dear would you mind If I talked to you again, It did wonders on me the first time we talked I never felt that refreshed in a while”
Emma had answered “sure”
With that Emma had left the cafe confused on why she had agreed to do such a thing; it already hurted her heart to be around her.
Walking home in the middle of the afternoon. She thought about they might be talking about again ‘ She probably gonna tell me about Luna or her daughter this time’
She had reached home just wanting to watch some TV. Coming inside the spacious apartment she had been met by her mother who was currently eating scrambled eggs.
