The House of Sunlight - A Blessing in Disguise |
|
|
With clenched fists, the protagonist of the story was hurt and angry, glaring at
their mother. The protagonist was admitted to the welfare home, the House of
Sunlight, due to their family's financial crisis. Their father had passed away,
and their mother was struggling to make ends meet as a cleaner, while also
undergoing dialysis for her worsening diabetes.
Initially, the protagonist detested living in the welfare home, having to share
a dormitory with eight strangers, with no privacy whatsoever. However, the
promise of education and the chance to provide for their family again kept the
protagonist from breaking down during the early months.
The structured and rigid schedule of waking up at 5.00 am, prayers, cleaning,
washing, school, and back to the welfare home for more prayers, washing,
exercise, and study time seemed like a nightmare to the protagonist. However,
one day, a dormitory mate reminded the protagonist of all the valuable lessons
they learned at the House of Sunlight, such as independence and self-discipline.
They also mentioned the many free benefits the welfare home provided, including
tuition, clothes, accommodation, and even food.
Eventually, the protagonist realized that the House of Sunlight was indeed a
blessing in disguise. They learned the value of discipline and education, which
would benefit them in the long run. Despite their initial resentment towards the
welfare home, the protagonist had grown to appreciate the opportunities it
provided them.
Therefore, the House of Sunlight turned out to be a beacon of hope for the
protagonist, and they emerged from it a better and stronger individual. |
