The Dark Sapphire Eyes's

Two girls in Manhattan

~ 02.00 Manhattan City

The old man limped along with the rancid bottle in his hand, his face looked so elated and his eyes danced happily as two large trucks immediately passed him carrying huge piles of trash from the big city of New York.

"Lexia, Lex !" shouted the old man.

A 17-year-old girl was skipping around with trembling legs, her sharp sapphire eyes staring at the truck dumping its garbage in the dumping ground, with his nimble feet he lunged at the trash along with like-minded people, wanting to find useful items or something that could be resold and make a dollar.

The old man laughed happily, as he again gulped down the drink in his hand, "Let's lexia don't lose to them." He laughed again while coughing.

"Quick ! shouted one of the young men, "These trash will soon be recycled." They were all scavenging for pockets of foul-smelling, rancid trash despite the large amount of dry garbage they could grab by scrambling.

"How did Lex get you so much?" ask Edo to him.

"Maybe!" said Lexia Acuh he carried a large basket that was draped behind him, his dirty and foul smelling face did not care about him, his sharp eyes staring at the 17-year-old youth walking beside him.

"Come on Lex, tell me what you got" he said, staring at lexia's pouting face.

"Keep away Edo don't bother me hush!" snapper lex.

"Fine, but give this to Rossie's grandmother, maybe she's fit to wear this." He then blinked and ran towards his delinquent friends who were waiting for him in the corner of the alley.

"Curtain, is he stupid? maybe an idiot the right word for her is she hoping Grandma Rossie will wear this?" While holding Edo's gift of bright pink lingerie, even so lexia still put it in the basket.

A wrinkled face with whitened hair was sitting on the ground sifting through the trash in his house. He stared from a distance the slum girl headed towards him, her lips then forming a cone.

"Lexia why are you still there, baby? look at that face." Rossie's grandmother took the cloth and removed some stains on lexia's face.

"Grandmother has prepared a dinner for you honey, take a shower after that you have to rest." Lexia nodded and peeked at the cheek of grandma Rossie who raised her.

Oh yeah, my name is Lexia Kenzo, I'm 17, I live with Kenzo's grandparents who took care of me since I was a kid, my parents? I don't know, how many times have I asked grandma and grandpa but they say I'm his granddaughter, but I know I'm not their grandchild, but it doesn't matter to me, as long as I am always with them my world surrounded by garbage is like a gift to me as long as I can be with them.

Lexia took off her foul-smelling clothes, then rushed into the bathroom, her sapphire eyes staring intently at herself through the reflection of the mirror. 'He wanted to change his life, his world from the snare of garbage, all this time he survived because there were them by his side.

"Lexian? what you're doing in the bathroom stops looking at you in front of the mirror and you get old!" the voice of Jecky's grandfather echoed filled the small room in the bathroom.

"I'm not looking at myself!" lexia half yelled. With a grim and sullen face he came out of the bathroom and immediately put on his grungy clothes.

02.15 Manhattan City

"Lovelia darling? time to take medicine", a woman with a face so beautiful approached him, carrying a tray of drugs that he would drink, the girl's eyes boredly looked at the tray carried by the mother.

"Mom I'm tired" he said.

When the mother's shining eyes became fragile and the water pooled in her eyes, as soon as she sat down before her daughter, she closed her mouth so that the sound of her crying was not heard by people in her house.

"Lov please my dear fight, mother will fight for you for your health." His mother said in a stammering voice, she still held back her tears that fell down her cheeks.

"Mom, I'm so tired, let go of me mom..."

The girl's voice was flat, she felt her body gradually not responding to it anymore, from her body which had to always be wrapped in bandages and the place she was in had to remain sterile, anyone who enters the room is wearing a mask and a clean body.

Since childhood Lovelia suffered from a rare disease even though she has skin, but her skin is very fragile and blister easily which makes her whole body must be wrapped in bandages, his shortness of breath due to blistering and blistering airway made it difficult to breathe, the infusion fluid should always be in his hands, because food intake sometimes can not enter through his throat.

The 17-year-old girl was very gentle and patient despite her circumstances saying she had to spend her entire life in a sterile room and in a wheelchair, anyone who came to see him would have to be clean otherwise the bacteria he was carrying would have killed him immediately.

"Mom, let me go.give up mom I'm tired of taking all these drugs, do you want me to age with my condition like this ! she said softly, although the words for her life were sad but no tears came out of her green eyes.

"I'm tired." He said as he turned his wheelchair and looked back at the dark night.

"Ugh heavy, I have to get to Uncle George's house before the others arrive, that stingy guy will pay me a fortune if the stuff I'm carrying isn't better than those who also carry interesting stuff." He muttered as he walked by pushing a Kumal trolley full of wreckage, and a large basket placed behind it.

His sapphire eyes stared intently at the drunken men who had just come out of the night clubs and were singing while asleep on the sidewalk.

Lexia shook her head, "Men are useless." she muttered. Lexia kept walking when she realized the traffic light had turned green, she pushed back her trolley, suddenly the squealing sound of the car made lexia surprised he fell on the asphalt but swiftly he stood up with a wrathful face and a growling sound.

"Bas an idiot where you keep your eyes stupid!" as he repaired his junk, his eyes stared intently at the black Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV, a man exiting his car, lexia did not look at the person who almost hit him, his attention was poured on the items in the trolley that he would sell.

"If I don't make it in time to Uncle George's house, it's all your fault you idiot!" Lexia's eyes were now staring at the face of the motorist who almost hit her.

"You okay?" said it. Lexia looked at the cold and handsome face with her neat black hair, with her suit fitting on her body, her face looked arrogant and looked at lexia slightly away perhaps due to the foul smell emanating from her.

"See you rich man is useless, you don't use your eyes what?" lexia muttered in addition to a grin framing on his face.

Although lexia's voice was small but the man could hear all of his words clearly. "Are you hurt." His black eyes looked sharply at the sapphire eyes that looked back at him also with no less sharp. Without saying a word lexia ignored him and pushed back his trolley while his mouth did not stop cursing and flattering the man.
