Aiko digs her hands further into the pockets of Najour's, magnas son, old coat that he had given her.

She walked down the freezing cold snowing Chicago streets.

Hands tucked deep into the old ripped coat pockets.

Within the two weeks Aiko arrived in Chicago, she was able to find work at a downtown unemployment office. 

She had nothing but luck. She was able to secure a job which in her head was the biggest blessing ever.

A daily.

Aiko arrived infront of the new work place.

The luxury penthouse apartment.

She used her work key and unlocked the doors to the apartment.
Stepping in and turning on the lights.

She could tell nobody was home.
Like always.

She locked the door behind her and began her way down the dark & rich hallway.
Looking up at the dimmed royale chandelier.

She stopped infront of the laundry room and entered .

Hanging up the old coat on the wall .

She then bent over and began untying her old 1992 boots.

Which were the only pair of shoes Aiko owned .

Old boots with rips all through them. She could tell the threading was becoming loose again and she would have to tie it.

They didn't keep her feet warm and in no way were they comfortable.

But she was always grateful.

She took off the soaking wet boots from the snow and placed them infront of the heater to dry.
As she did everyday.

She then dried off her wet feet rubbing over the blisters and frost bite, toes while changing into her provided work shoes.

She then tied her long, thick hair up, threw on her blue  apron and exited the room.
