Chapter 1: Dream
Riiiiing, riiiing, riiing,…
Joseph woke up after hearing the alarm clocking rigging, he reach out his hand and turn off the annoying rigging sound.
He can still vividly remember the night where he and his wife trying to gift their daughter a new siblings. That was quite a wild night, in his opinion.
He has been working nonstop for quite awhile to make a steady income for his family and that took quite a tow on his mind. And yesterday was a great relief to his pent up stress.
He subconsciously wore a smile on his face a shake his head.
'Nala is still quite vigorous despite her age'
He looked to his left , surprisingly his wife is not there, but smelling the delicious smell outside couple with the wide open door he can already guess where his wife went.
'Look like my I'm not as good at my prime', back when he was a twenty year old young man, he can even make Nala unable to lift her leg after one night but now…
'Well, that doesn't really matter does it?'
Siting up from his previous position, Joseph can faintly smell the fishy smell of his semen of some of his wife love juice.
'Look like we gonna have to change the sheet, Katey have been quite adventurous these day'
With a wry smile Joseph stand up and open his wardrobe , and pick a formal suit, today he gonna have a meeting with some executives so he have to be prepared or else one mess up will ruined his family livelihood.
Slowly change into his suit, he recount all the documents needed for the meeting.
'Let's see, I have asked Jenny for the Revenues Analysis, Jerome for the Pie Charts of Investment, Ken for Possible Investment Plans, Yoshia for…'
…
'I guess that should be it, a total of 9 documents to present in a 3 hours meeting, that should be doable. ', He has to also consider the time of others department's presentation too so it isn't that easy, but he will tried his best.
He put all the documents into his suitcase, after counting for the third time would he be able to assure himself.
Straightening his clothes a little bit he head out to the dinning room where he can hear sizzling sound.
Sizzle, sizzle,…
"Honey, what's for breakfast?" As he saying that he pull out the chair and sat down.
"We are making fried rice!", a high pitched but cute voice answer Joseph question.
'Huh? We?', A quick thought pass Joseph mind before he understand the information he just got.
"Ah, Katey! Are you helping your mother?", he said with a gentle voice, his little Katey hasn't been this proactive in helping housework after all so this is a suprising change of pace.
"Yes! Mom said that if I can make the best breakfast she gonna take to an amazing place with you!"
'Ah, so that it's, well I'm gonna take her to the 'amazing place' anyway even if she doesn't cook breakfast today. But teaching her cooking now is a good time too, good job Nala!'
He silently praise his beautiful wife in his heart, even if today's breakfast may not be the best breakfast he gonna taste, but he was sure this going to be the best breakfast he has eaten in his life.
After a short time, he finally see a beautiful woman with average curves yet charming face appeared with flowing dark blue hair following behind was a cute young girl with her green hair tie into a bun, both of them are wearing an apron.
'So cute~' a wide smile appeared on Joseph face when he see his wife and daughter, he just wished to have a camera right now to captured this moment.
The two angel of his life appeared and place three plates of fried rice onto the dinner table. Some bread are place in a basket and a bowl of delicious Sowa soup from his home country.
Just from a look he could already see that 90% of the food was make by his wife. Which made him and his stomach sigh from relieved, at least he not going to have to make an appointment with the bathroom now.
"This looks delicious dear, did you make this Katey?", he reached his to headpat his daughter as he asked the question.
As boastful and mischievous as she was Katey smile arrogantly and said "Of course! I make all of this for you, Dad!", she even raise her head and chest feeling like a champion after winning a competition.
"Haha, of course, my Katey is the best!", Joseph hand rested and Katey hair and gently head patting her.
While Nala wore a beautiful kind smile on her face watching the cute interaction of her precious family.
After the usual banter, all of them silently put their hand together praying to their god. The Lord of Transcendent.
"May the Lord, take pity to our existence.
May he bless us with eternal happiness.
Thank you for the meal come from heaven and earth.
May suffering cleared upon his arrival.
We hope for a bright future by the side of the supreme Lord.
Oh Lord of Transcendent, please bless us with happiness."
They chant like that three times before stopping. The first to taste the food was Joseph second was Nala and last was Katey.
After all of them finish eating that scoop of rice. Everything return to normal, to previous solemn atmosphere gone like it's never existed, then the warm atmosphere come back and everyone put on a smile while randomly chatting.
Like a picture, all the people in the dinning room can be seen smiling brilliantly. Perhaps today will be another great day after all.

Time passed…
After a meal fill with laughter and delicious foods, it is time for Joseph to go to work. After all time wait for nobody no matter how precious the moment is.
But having a satisfied morning like this does fill Joseph with enthusiasm. He once again reaffirm his reason for continuing living.
Sometimes, you do not live for yourself but for the one who precious to you after all. He already know this, but now it's just got stronger.
He reach his hand to get the fedora, this fedora has been passed down from his ancestors till now, it could said to be a relic of relics that why he only used it during important meeting like now normally he would not wear a hat at all.
The reason the fabric doesn't rot is still a mystery to this day, even his grandparents doesn't know. But who care about things like that anyway, not him at least.
Joseph straightening his suit again and turn his back to the door.
Face to face with his family, a tender smile appears on his face.
He pulled Nala to his embrace and kiss her on the cheek. Her cheek became slightly redder.
"Joseph, Katey is here you know"
"Hahaha, of course of course, I can't forget giving her a kiss can I?".
Loosen his embrace, he kneel down and picked up his five years old daughter, the he kissed her on the forehead. She resist it a little but still let his lip touch her forehead
"Dad, your beard is pricky!" she complain cutely.
"Sorry, my dear", 'Maybe I should stop trying to grow my beard' he seriously considered it, but for now it's time to go.
He stood up from his previous half kneeling position. And give Katey to Nala, straightening his clothes one last time he said:
"I'm going now, take care of yourself ok? Especially you Katey" he said while teasing his little imp.
"Blep, I know dad!" she sticked her tongue out and said jokingly.
"Have a good day, honey" Nala said with her eyes looking straight at Joseph eyes. In this life the only man that gotten her head with him after all.
"Have a good day to you too, dear"
With such a heartwarming interaction ended. He turned his back to his family and opened the door connected to the cruel and harsh reality.
It is a part of living after all, sometimes it like heaven sometimes like hell. As a human we have to deal with it even if don't want to, because that what living truly mean.
Have you ever thought what heaven or hell looks like, some may did and some may didn't, but there is one universal thing that people agree that be it hell or heaven, living is still better
But today. For Joseph, Nala, and little Katherine. 'Hell' will be the only word they can used to describe today or maybe the rest of their life.
In Joseph room, on a desk a hand size card shinning with light silver color. Inside it contain everything about him.
Name.
Address.
Birthday.
Birthplace.
Citizens Number.
Workplace.
Mark.
Right.

For nameless shall be exterminated."
