TIC TAC TIC TAC.... An hour more and it is Christmas once again. The loud sounds of firecrackers could be heard outside and kids are doing their last round of going house to house singing Christmas carols. Decors and lights brightly lit up all of the houses in Kevin's neighborhood. Everybody was happily waiting for the clock to strike 12 midnight. Everybody..... except Kevin.
Kevin will be celebrating Christmas all alone once again just like the past 5 years. Unlike others who are busy with their activities, he is just there sitting by the window watching others. His house has no decors and lights. There was no food for Noche Buena in the table. Though he wanted to sleep and just let the night pass by, he couldn't because of all the noise of the firecrakers and the laughter of people passing by.
Staring at the Christmas lights in one of his neighbors' house, the memories started to play in his mind....
Kevin was a good, loving husband to his wife and and their 3 kids. He has a nice job where he served for more than 10 years. They always prepare early for every coming Christmas by decorating their house with lights and decors when the month of September starts. Christmas was the day that their family were most excited about as they pray together before sharing the Noche Buena, watch the fireworks display outside and exchange gifts afterwards.
Until one day, an unexpected happened. He was wrongfully accused of doing something illegal in their company and was immediately terminated. So much money were lost and evidences were planted all pointing to him as the one who did it. His appeal fell into deaf ears and after his long years of good service, he received nothing from the company.
