Thirty years ago...
Amanda Cirillo lives on a calm and serene island, she grew raised in a humble household. Her father was a fisherman, but he perished from drowning ten years ago. In those instances, she relied only on her mother, Mildred. At the age of twenty, she was already supporting her mother in earning money for their family's income resources. They were just impoverished, although she was able to cope with all of her difficulties because she believed it was only a challenge that she had to overcome. Amanda is presently riding a bike to carry the fish she collected in the ocean to the market; she is aware that this work is solely for males, but she no longer considers it merely a means of subsistence. But then someone crashed into her bike, which was a costly automobile, spilling three buckets of fish she was carrying at the time. Her life was willing to ditch when she noticed that the fish had gotten into the mud and could no longer be recovered since the canal was full with dead insects and had an awful stench. She could not help but be upset because the fish were all she intended them to eat that day, but she was just unfortunate.
"What will be our food now?" She tells herself depressingly that she wants to weep but can not since tears are already gathering in her eyes. Soon, her attention was drawn to a man getting out of his automobile, which was wearing a sunglasses and also not far away, maybe with his age on it. Amanda just bowed since it was evident, even in the man's shape, that he hailed from a powerful and influential family, her character is excellent, since it is a custom on their island that if anybody affluent comes into their region, they should not stare them down right in their eyes as a form of respect, which Amanda did.
The man immediately took off his sunglasses and looked directly at Amanda who had earlier focused attention on her basket as she watched the fish being slowly carried away by the water in the canal. She wanted to cry, but she just kept these tears from dripping because she already knew that the man in front of her would only consider her weak. She knows that crying is only considered a weakness by anyone, and they do not care what your reason for crying is what matters to them is just what they see. She was almost sniffing her own cold because she was trying to hold back her tears, when she saw that the water had completely washed away the pile of fish she was carrying lately, she could not stop her tears from falling from her eyes. She knew that their stomachs would rumble again tonight with extreme hunger because she had no money to take home, if only she had not been disgraced she would probably have given her customer the fish she caught from the ocean and it would have given her money in which she will buy what they will eat.
The mysterious man also stared at her for a while, observing every part of her face as if it were a scene that he would not tire of looking at any moment. But Amanda did not notice it because her attention was only focused on the canal even though the fish she had caught in the ocean was no longer there. She was crying quietly in those moments and had no plans to look at the man who had collided with her or even to blame it for the collision made with her, but she did not. She knew that what happened was an accident and no one wanted it to happen, and if anyone was to blame for the two of them it was still their responsibility to understand the incident no matter how much it affected their lives. And that alone indicates how kind and long-suffering Amanda was, she was raised with patience and with an understanding of everything and that is what her mother liked about her.
Eventually the mysterious man went to his car and immediately took something there that he knew would help the woman, he no longer hesitated to hand Amanda the tissue he had taken from his car. The woman took it immediately but she only paid attention to the tissue given by the man and not to its appearance, at this moment she still did not know what the face of the mysterious man was and she had no intention of knowing because her mind was busy with what she would do to solve the problem she was facing. She did not want to go home without any money and food to bring, she did not want to see his mother hungry. Mildred does not complain every time Amanda does not bring home food or money, Amanda just does not want to see that they have nothing to eat because she knows that is not the life she dreams of with her mother. In fact, even though Amanda had no money to take home, she still smiled and hugged her daughter in return, because she was aware of the hardship her daughter was going through in the middle of the ocean to find their livelihood, she did not mind the danger that waiting for her, even though she knew it was the cause of her father's death. She was a brave and hardworking woman, so that even their neighbors admired her greatly for this habit and attitude of hers.
"Thank y-you!" She mentioned immediately after she reached for the tissue given by the mysterious man and immediately wiped away her own tears, in her voice could be seen the extreme sadness that she was just trying to raise so that the man in front of her could clearly hear what she is talking about.
She did not know how the man reacted to what she said but she preferred to just go to the baskets of fish she had caught, she immediately tied them to the back of her old bike. She immediately got on her bike without paying attention to the man who had collided with her, she wanted to leave and be alone. She wanted to solve this problem while it was still early, because she knew that even if her mother would not admit and tell her that she was also sad whenever they had nothing to eat. Mildred also could not work because she had heart disease and should not be soaking in the heater, and could feel too much emotion, Amanda does not want her mother to blame herself for the misery they had now, in the view that she is the only one working with their family.
She was about to start her bike when the mysterious man suddenly stopped in front of her earlier, she did not know how it got so quickly in front of her as long as she knew that she was surprised when it was already blocking her bike's direction and then unexpectedly she looked him in the face, Amanda's jaw almost dropped when she saw the smooth and perfect shape of the man's face, in addition, it is not boring to look at the beautiful shape of its eyes, he seems so perfect.
Amanda almost swallowed her own saliva because she felt it was a disgrace for her to stare at the man's face, she immediately bowed down and closed her eyes tightly because of the embarrassment she felt all of a sudden.
