The Jewel in My Heart
Chapter 1

"Maa... Maa..."

Annarosa was stunned from her sleep when she heard Nina's whining. He immediately ran to his daughter's room.

"Why baby?" annarosa asked softly as soon as she reached beside her daughter's crib. Anna's hand stretched out, fingered Nina's forehead and found the toddler's body temperature normal.

But Nina continues to whine and rejects the milk given by her. Finally Annarosa gave up and held Nina. The toddler continued to whine so Annarosa fondled her softly and hummed the lullaby. Slowly Nina's whining voice subsided even though her face still looked agitated.

Almost half an hour Annarosa cradled Nina until she fell asleep in her cradle. Annarosa carefully placed Nina in the box and wrapped her in a soft flannel.

Annarosa heaved a sigh of relief as she exited Nina's room. It was only one o'clock at night, and now his sleepiness is gone altogether.

Annarosa turned on the television, there might be an interesting show. After several changes to the channel finally Annarosa gave up, some of the films that were on the putir had been watched several times. Annarosa turned off the television.

Somehow Annarosa's gaze was directed towards the window, as if something was pulling her closer. He walked to the window and then pulled the curtain down a bit.

Annarosa smiles. The place of residence is not bad. Although small, he can enjoy the cool air at night. Such calmness he rarely got. Fifteen minutes had passed since Annarosa circulated her gaze out. Tonight was quiet, no vehicles passed.

Just as Anna was about to close the window, suddenly her eyes caught a figure walking staggered a few meters away from her block. Annarosa's forehead is crinkled deeply, if the person is not drunk then it is likely that he is ill. A few minutes he waited in case someone else came out and helped him. However, until that person fell down, no one came.

Annarosa's heart was worried, she wanted to approach the person for help or just make sure that the person was okay. But he felt afraid, what if that person was not a good person? he only lives alone with his daughter...

But then Anna strengthened her heart. He can't just be quiet. What if the person dies if they don't get help right away? To hurt others we need a reason or a cause, but to help others, of course we do not need that!

Annarosa ran out, within minutes she was already in front of the downed man, who turned out to be a man. For a moment Annarosa felt afraid of the man.

His desire to run grew even greater when the man suddenly turned back and began to say something in a very slow voice. Annarosa watched the man with a heightened sense of horror. The man's face was covered in wounds while on the clothes he was wearing there were patches of blood that were still wet. The man's trousers were torn on his right from his thighs down, there was blood there as well.
