The bus arrived at their stop at 7:00 p.m.

The days were shorter in the winter and it was already dark out at this time. The snow fell over the land silently and violently. They walked in the direction of Hannah’s house in the snow. From a distance away, she could make out thick snow covering the entire yard and dim yellow light coursing through the window.

“Hannah!” Janet called out from where she was. She ran over to the house with a bright smile on her face, pulled open the gate of the yard and made her way inside.

She always felt happy and excited every time she came back here, because she felt like returning to her childhood place. When she was attending school, she barely knew her way around. Hannah always stood at the front of the village with a walking stick, waiting to walk her home.

Hearing the sound of Janet’s voice, Hannah opened the door with a huge smile on her face and said, “Why did you come here at this very hour? Why didn’t you call me ahead of time? Have you eaten anything yet?”

Right after Hannah finished saying that, she saw Tyler next to Janet.

Hannah slammed the door shut in their faces and said, “I don’t want to see that bastard. Ask him to stay away!”

“Mom, I haven’t seen you for so long. You’re old now. It’s time I went out of my way to do something for you. At least talk to me. Please let me in, Mom!” Tyler said, tears falling from his eyes. He knelt down by the door, begging his mother to let him in. He was not very tall, and now he looked even more miserable.
