It was late afternoon. The sunlight still shines into the room through the small window. Giving more glow to the beautiful little red flower on the side of the window. She just finished the dishes. It is now her quiet time. The time where she just relax. She grabbed the nail and continued sewing the dress that she was working on since yesterday. Then they came again. It's the kids! All four of them came and with their musical instruments this time. One is hitting on drums and the other is blowing in that saxophone. It felt like they were just playing in different rooms. Nothing of that music rhymed. The other two were singing. But, it was not the same song. She covered her ears. But, it was not because, she needed to relax or had enough that day. She was not even disturbed by all the noise they were making. She could not bare the fact that, it is one of those times, where they came again from her memory and as she listens, she will remember the day of the big house fire. The day that she survived and it felt like she was given another life. But, it was a new life without her little ones.

Era o fim da tarde. A luz do sol ainda entrava no cômodo pela pequena janela, iluminando a bela florzinha vermelha que ficava ao lado dela. Ela acabara de lavar a louça. Agora, era o seu momento de sossego — um tempo para simplesmente relaxar. Pegou a agulha e continuou a costurar o vestido em que vinha trabalhando desde o dia anterior. Então, eles apareceram de novo. Eram as crianças! As quatro chegaram, desta vez trazendo seus instrumentos musicais. Uma batia em tambores, enquanto outra soprava um saxofone; parecia que cada uma tocava em um cômodo diferente. Não havia qualquer harmonia naquilo. As outras duas cantavam, mas não a mesma música. Ela tapou os ouvidos — não porque precisasse descansar ou estivesse exausta daquele dia. Na verdade, o barulho nem a incomodava. O que ela não suportava era o fato de que, naqueles momentos, as lembranças voltavam; ao ouvir os sons, ela se recordava do dia do grande incêndio na casa. O dia em que sobreviveu — como se tivesse ganhado uma nova vida. Mas era uma vida nova, sem os seus pequeninos.
