Ailing

As time passed, grandma became weak and started suffering from many diseases. She was medicated and was under the supervision of doctors. Then also, she did not stop encouraging Cindy. She taught her honesty and appreciation which Cindy would learn wholeheartedly.

Separation

Day by day, the grandmother’s condition worsened. She could barely eat, drink or breathe. During her final days, Cindy’s grandmother could not bear more and she passed away. Cindy, again, was left all alone in this world. She again experienced love and attachment for a short period. 

The Haunting Silence

Every time she came back home from her school, she could not see her grandmother which made her feel aloof. The giggling and chirpy home turned to a silence house with lots of memories carved inside the walls. All Cindy did was to cry and blame herself for not being a good kid.

Return Favor

One day, while crying, she heard her grandma’s voice inside her head. She recalled how her grandmother used to say “the show must go on” every time she was about to give up. Cindy thought that her grandmother gifted her the identity and she was the only reason why Cindy was able to stand tall amongst the crowd. She decided that she would be making her happy in turn.

Refuge

To make her grandmother proud, Cindy decided to begin training to become a bus driver after high school. The school was the only refuge for her in those final years and had assisted her to become the woman she was. She wanted to get associated with the school in any possible way, so she took up the training. 

Noticed

No matter how negative situations shaped Cindy’s past, she could overcome all the memories by watching children laugh and giggle when she drove to and from school. She was a keen observer and one day she noticed two particular students encouraging a lonely student named Jackson on the bus.
