Hello, I'm Aella, which means star. Isn't it great? Also, I'm the oldest MSA girl here because my story took place in the '70s, but trust me, it's pretty interesting and you'll learn a thing or two about hope, so like and subscribe. My life was not exactly good, we could only eat once a day and our house was falling apart and so was my family. Our father was always angry and we were very poor, but there was a time when everything was fine when my brother Lucio and I were dad. a good dad and mom were there, they were the most loving parents in the world, they always played with us in the park and bought us toys, we were not rich, but our family was happy until one day they fired me, they scammed me, what they scammed me, we lost everything, we never lost everything. he told us who scammed him we tried to ask him how we could help but he just ignored us and sold our toys and mom's jewelry however we ran out of things to sell and dad didn't know what to do anymore maybe we can work

selling

or not why can't you leave school to go to work but I said no, we will put you in a public school and your mother and I will see what we can do so let's go study or something We fought with dad many times but he wouldn't let us work so we gave up at least mom was still there right mom what are you doing Lucio and I had woken up in the middle of the night and found mom cleaning the house like crazy oh I'm just Cleaning the house honey honey at 3:00 a.m.

Mom I know you like to clean but suddenly she ran towards us and hugged us, promise me you will help me your dad, promise me you will shine brighter than any star in the sky, what are you okay? Mom, yeah, what's going on? Just promise me that. Can you promise us that the next morning mom left the house completely clean and all her clothes were gone? We looked for her everywhere we even asked the neighbors but no one had seen her it was the worst day of our lives we cried a lot and dad was not the same after that he got angry he got angry every day so we tried not to bother him I

started

to work after school and dad tried to stop us but after a while he just made us promise not to drop out of school and we didn't talk about mom but we always hoped that one day she would come back.

Dad worked. shining shoes and Lucio and I sold

matches

we walked through the neighborhoods after school and at the end of the day we met at the supermarket to see if we could buy some food we didn't earn much but we managed to save for one or sometimes two meals a day and that It was a victory for us, our lives weren't the best, but we tried to stay positive, you won't believe how much hey, what happened, are you okay? I didn't sell any matches today I went to hug him and tell him that everything is going to be fine and without him realizing it I dropped a $1 bill behind him don't worry Lucio I'm sure tomorrow you will sell a lot of matches I hope wait what's that look Estella $1 Today must be his lucky day or something because I have $3 right here you know what that means hot dogs we bought two hot dogs and then we sat in the corner eating them we haven't had a hot dog in almost a year and it was delicious but our happiness didn't last long hey kids, can't you take a bite of that?

No, go

away

, there's nothing of yours here, didn't your parents teach you not to be selfish, it's none of your business, suddenly the guy? I ripped the hot dog out of my hands and ran

away

while laughing. I tried to follow him but he was running too fast and it

started

to rain so I went back to Lucio at least you still have your oh Lucio's hot dog was on the ground. our lucky day is over, sweet, I'm sorry Estella, I always ruin everything, that's not true, the one who ruined everything was that monster who stole my hot dog and threw yours on the floor, but no, no, don't even worry , we will buy hundreds of hot dogs one. good day let's go

home

for now our dad came back from work that night and he was angry I'm sure it didn't go well and when he found out that we wasted the money he got very upset and locked himself in the bedroom everything seemed to go from bad to worse until a day things began to change I was walking through the upper class neighborhood

selling

my matches but that day the cold was horrible so I had the best idea of ​​all I entered the huge garage of a house there were hundreds of cars and it was very hot but oh no, there were people coming yes, all my parents' cars are the latest model, my favorite is the candy that a girl caught me hiding between the cars and her expression was really scary, what happened is the car, okay , Yeah. uh I thought I saw a rat come on we better go to the pool I saved myself after a while I made sure no one was there and I left calmly but the girl from before was looking at me from the garage entrance who are you what were you doing?

Were you trying to steal one of our cars? No, no, I can explain it. It was very cold out there and your garage seemed like a very warm place, so I went there. That's all. I swear. Suddenly her expression changed. She looked less intimidating. Oh yeah. Look, you can warm up in the fireplace at my house. It's better to trust me. Let's go. Thank you very much. Yes, but don't steal anything. By the way, what's your name? Estella. Nice to meet you. Estella. I'm a cello. Her name meant heaven in Spanish and something about that made me smile, she gave me a tour of her house and it was like a mansion and very warm, but I knew I couldn't stay that long.

She had to go. You know, mom always said we need a cleaner. Do you know someone who needs a job? What are you serious about? Do you know someone? Well, I, cello, smiled and shook my hand. You are hired. Come every day after. Also is okay. Z's mom doesn't like me, but she gave it to me. I had a chance and the pay was amazing, although the best part of all was that I had a friend every day after cleaning the cow and I would watch movies or gossip about my classmates or their strange neighbors. It was very funny, however, one day when I was going to her house I saw her fighting with her mother, you should be inside studying, don't waste your time here, the cleaning girl is distracting you from your

home

work, cellow, she is not doing anything, mom, I got perfect grades. in everything I was just trying to get a little rest on the weekends well if you're not in your room in 5 minutes studying that girl will be fired when her mom left I walked towards her I hugged her tight and she cried a little thank you I'll be here when you need me From that day on we became best friends but his mother fired me after a month and I went back to selling matches however the cow always sneaked out to talk to me so I didn't get so sad and even Lucio met her, he didn't like her. that but that was because he was very grumpy for the first time and thanks to C my life didn't feel so bad one day I even told him a little about our life oh you've been through a lot Estella I feel so guilty that my mom fired you so I'm so sorry it was my fault after all the only thing I did was gossip with you, don't you remember and never think about running away? yes, of course, but we don't have enough money to do it and what if I tell you that I can help you no never I will not accept money no no I also want to escape from my parents but I don't want to do it alone so I was thinking about telling you and Lucio about that we can Run away together and be free What do you think you are really sure of?

C. I have never been so sure of anything in my life, however, when I told Lucio, he was not as sure as C. I don't know, Estella. We could get in trouble Lucio this is our only chance to do it if mom could make him run away then we too deserve a good life away from dad Well we would have to be very careful after our plan started we were raised like All the money we could get Clo's help and a few weeks later I went to the train station and bought train tickets to Sweden to leave in 2 days Sweden, that's where yeah, I hope she's still there okay?

Here I feel like a dog in a chess game, what? Are you talking about my mom? I told you about her, right? Well, sometimes she sends us postcards from Sweden and you want to go find her, yes, but we don't know if she wants to be found if she sends you those postcards. It must be for a reason, right? Lucio and I smiled at Cello, she was a very good friend. The day arrived and Lucio and I told dad that we were going to work, while Cello told her mother that she was going to the mall.

I was carrying a small backpack with some clothes so that no one would suspect anything we met at the train station and SEO looked at me and gave me a weak smile when the train arrived Lucio grabbed my hand cello what do you think you are doing a woman ran towards us We grabbed each other's arms tightly. Do you think you could run away from home like that? What's the matter? You and dad are always fighting and you only talk to me to tell me to study. You guys never pay attention to me. Put those ideas in your head, it was she, she knew it would be a problem, police, police, leave them alone, they didn't do anything, run, guys.

A police officer approached C's mother and before she could notice us, Lucio pulled my hand and we ran away. At the station. train crashed behind a dumpster and we saw the police officer running in front of it after being there for a while. I started crying again. Come here, listen, we can fix it. We still have some savings from your last job. We can't know why. we can't do it without cello we can't leave her behind you're right the same day we got home we lost all hope of escaping dad found all our savings and got upset because we hid them from him so he kept them somewhere else and I said it would only be for food , but then winter came and I didn't have winter clothes, you should wear the Estella jacket, I can handle the cold, I'm like an ice man, yeah right, oh come on, relax today, we'll do it. she sells a lot and eats hot dogs you say I don't know it's okay I've had enough you have to stop this shello she's okay in her nice mansion eating whatever she wants stop worrying about her she's not okay Lucio you know she's better off we don't talk the rest of the week and then I got sick on New Year's Eve and Luciao was the one who always took care of me but I knew he was very upset so I didn't do it. tell him anything I hadn't eaten all day and the cold was getting to me so I sat on the corner between two houses and looked at the matches I had in my hands I hadn't sold a single one and I didn't want to go home without anything I looked out the window of a house and saw a family eating roast goose my stomach growled and I remembered Lucio I hope he can forgive me I rubbed a match against the wall and its fire warmed my hands a little but it was quick it went out I did it again and I saw cello through the little flame cello but it disappeared as soon as the flame went out so I did it again but this time I saw mom mom don't go away please I miss you she disappeared as soon as the flame went out I went out and cried so I took all my matches and left them all at the same time and I saw my family there was Lucio and the cello eating roast goose while mom served it Mom looked at me and smiled come with us Estella I'm coming mom mom maybe that's how it will all end or something Once I didn't open my eyes and I looked around I was wrapped up in a comfortable bed and the room I was in was very nice Luciao was in a chair looking at me I'm glad you're okay It's okay, I was very worried about what happened, you collapsed because of the fever and you almost froze, but I found you early, you were in a coma all week, are you still angry?

The past is in the past and you won't believe it, but I found it. a very good job, shello, she helped me secretly, he grabbed my hand and I gave him a weak smile, we will be fine, Estella, we will shine brighter than any star in the sky, I got you.
