The repair shop had closed an hour ago, but the light above the workbench was still glowing.
When pushed open the old wooden door, the familiar smell of engine oil drifted through the room, mixed with the sweet scent of roasted sweet potatoes from the street vendor outside.
Elias looked up from the old pickup truck he had been fixing all evening.
You’re finally off work.He wiped the grease from his hands with a faded towel before reaching for the lunch box sitting beside the toolbox.
I kept it warm.Inside were two homemade meat buns, a boiled egg, and the last tangerine he had bought on his way back from the market that morning. He hadn’t eaten it himself.
I know the school cafeteria food isn’t enough.Outside, the evening market was slowly packing up. Somewhere down the street, someone was calling a child home for dinner. Rainwater dripped steadily from the edge of the corrugated roof. Life in this little town was never exciting. The repair shop barely made enough some months. ’s salary as an elementary school teacher was modest at best. The roof still leaked whenever spring storms came. Still, every evening ended the same way. The porch light stayed on. Dinner stayed warm. And someone was always waiting. Elias scratched the back of his neck, looking away as if embarrassed.
Don’t just stand there. Come home.
