It was one breezy autumn in 2008, he was six years old.

His parents was visiting a church and met up with a friend. The friend was Aunt Ann

He called her 'Aunt', though they were never really related by blood

She was a college friend of his mother

Aunt Ann was a caretaker of a nearby orphanage in the city that they were staying in

His parents were millionaires, he was bathe in wealth from the start

His parents was on a business trip and they were sponsoring this one event, they were generous enough to also donate to the local church and orphanage

Aunt Ann was both delighted and grateful to the point of tears

Though she was almost the same age as his mother at that time, she looked 20 years older than her.

"She looked younger in the pictures"

They took a look around the orphanage, it was very well kept and clean. The kids seemed comfortable and happy

Funny, how come these children are more happier than the kid who's parents are millionaires and is living a comfortable life?

As his parents went into a secluded room with Aunt Ann, a room with a big open window and a desk, presumably an office, he decided to wait outside.

He got a bit tired and decided to wonder around, then stumbled across a room with a giant sky light on its roof

The room was filled with toys, scattered oh so lightly on the floor and several kids were playing in each corner of the room, some slumbering

In the middle of it all was a serene looking young boy, looked older and more matured than the rest collecting the scattered toys into a basket

The boy caught glimpse of him and stopped what he was doing

As he stood in front of the door, the older boy stood up and made eye contact

Smiled and said

"Hello? Are you lost?"
