I wanted to call Marilia and I remember that she doesn’t even have a phone, my life is just a waste.
I was walking around a garden when I saw someone who look like Marilia, is she the one?
She walked closer to me and I saw that she’s really the one. She look different, she’s more pretty. Her hair was arranged neatly and she was putting on a nice cloth and shoe.
I guess she saw me, she ran toward me and smiled
” hi Francis, look at me, how do I look? Am so different, thanks for the clothes ”
she said and smiled
” it’s okay ” I replied

Francis sounds somehow, I think he’s not happy, I sat beside him.
” Is everything okay? ” I asked
