Still There?
A couple of minutes later, Cesia checked on the door and guess what? The man was still standing there, waiting for Cesia to return. Now, she knew she couldn’t ignore him anymore. She was supposed to act on it and in such a way that the man would never return to waste her time. But who knew soon this man will become a life changer for Cesia.
Let’s Face It Out
Cesia didn’t want to get into an argument, not even a waste conversation. So, she went and said, “You know nothing is given to me for free, right?” And the man nodded. Cesia’s guess was right and the man was looking for a few bucks which she would never give him. This whole conversation was about to end unexpectedly.
Why? Why? Why?
Cesia anyway asked him why was he even begging for money when he should be working. It wasn’t like he was disabled and could get a fine job to earn for himself. The man had an answer to her question which was quite common among people living on the streets. But this time Cesia will be doing something she never did before.
A Typical Answer
His name was Marcus and he said, “Well, I have a lot of felonies and no one wants to hire me for that. So, now I had to turn myself to the streets and get money the only way I know — stealing and asking for money.” This happens a lot and Cesia was aware of it. So, she decided to act upon it, but how could she act on it? What could she possibly do?
Looking For A Way Out
Cesia didn’t have money to hire a fulltime helper but a thought crossed her mind that she could certainly use some help. Cesia was thinking to make an offer to Marcus. Was trusting a homeless man the right thing to do? Especially when he himself admitted that he had been in and out of the prison quite a few times?
Kind Offer
After listening to Marcus’ reasoning, Cesia asked: “You want a job?” She further added, “Then I have one for you.” She was trying to lessen her burden and give the man one fare chance towards a better life. However, a week later this man will be doing something that Cesia will never forget throughout her life.
