A young girl about 18 years of age, brown hair with one large braid packed to one side of her shoulder , she could be seen sitting on top of a wooden table swinging her legs, back and forth continuously, she was all dressed up in a milk coloured gown, that had small pictures of chilli peppers, decorated all around it, she grabbed onto a teddy bear, reminiscing on the times that she has spent with that little thing, it appeared she was waiting for some one.
A tall man was approaching the spot that she was sitted, he had a light blue button up shirt on, and a little girth down below but the shirt didn't still have any trouble buttoning up, he folded the long sleeves of his shirt down wards towards his elbow revealing his fairly hairy arm, he kept a well trimmed beard that frames his face, giving him a really attractive jaw. He approached the table which the girl was sitted,
She smiled she was happy to see him, “dad what took you so long those flowers aren't going to water themselves you know" the girl said making him smile, “Rosalina I'm sorry but daddy had to take care of a little business first, but now thats Over let's go to the garden shall we". He said hoping that she was going to forget about him being late, “ill let you off the hook this time abuelo" she said laughing, “hey who you calling abuelo, I'm not that old" he said trying to defend him himself even if his grey highlights on his hair and beared betrayed him.
She was just too excited to be out of the house. they arrived at a garden filled with so many different types of flowers, all shimmering bright, in the golden rays of the sun. Immediately Rosalina walked towards the darker, parts of the garden, squatted to the ground and started playing with the red roses, she stroked them so fondly and smiled all the way biting her lower lip,
He noticed that she did that when ever she was happy, sad, agitated or having fun, he could tell that she was having fun right now with the roses, “you like the roses a lot don't you" “mmmhhh" she just nodded her head, replying without taking her eyes of the flowers,
“follow me" her father Rodriguez said, as he brought out his hand for her to hold it, “uhh thank you dad but I'd rather walk in my own" she said “do you wanna see the surprise or not" she grabbed unto his hand and followed, they approached a green house, it was a huge one, all the sides of the house was made of glass, and steel, he opened the door and she got in, they walked towards the right flank of the building and Rosalinas eyes widened, there was a mess of red roses growing In a really big bunch, she felt like she was in heaven, her smile knew no bounds, Rodriguez saw that he had stunned his daughter,
She bit her lower lip again, “it dosn't get better than this" she said as she sniffed the air, “oh it can get better" he said “really how?" “all the flowers here belong to you" “oh my God!" She said completely stunned, ”gracias papi"she hugged unto him tightly, “te quiero Mija, never forget that" her dad said as he plucked one of the roses and put it in her head. A shady man was at the entrance of the green house,
The direction that she was hugging him made her to back the entrance, but he was facing it, so he could see the guy why she couldn't he mae some signs with his hands as if telling the guy to go on that he is coming.
“Take care of your flowers, I'll see you later alright" he said and she just nodded happily, rubbing the petals of all the roses that her hand could come in contact with, it was a large rose bush that looked like a maze so it was difficult for her to touch all of them, but she tried to nonetheless.
Few hours later later Rodriguez was walking home sfter dealing with the group of people that he supplied, the sky was dark and the moon was brightly shining in the sky, he was now closer to his home when he saw a bright orange light, he saw his home on fire, from a distance,
His heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly ran to get closer a lot of people were yelling and trying to out the flames out but it wasn't working, “Rodriguez! Rosalina is still in there!" Demi his wife, said extremely panicking, as she grabbed unto his shirt, with tears running down her milky almost white face, her normally brown arranged hair was now tussled and rough because of how smothered she was from the incident.
She tried rescuing her daughter but Rosalina was in her room sleeping and the room was locked, sje tried and tried to open it but she had started to suffocate but people cane in and dragged her out of the building, she kept yelling at them that her daughter was still in there, but the burning embers if the house had closed off the door, so no one was able to open it.
They just moved her outside, as the house was falling in on itself, after she told Rodriguez he didn't hesitate immediately he ran into the fire, before any one even knew what was happening, the fumes from the smoke had immediately started getting into his lungs but he wasnt deterred he kicked away some pieces of wood that was in his way while coughing, as he has started to breath in ash, he finally got to Rosalinas front door, he started looking for an axe to break the door down, and lucky fir him he found one, by tge side of the kitchen sink, je went back tivthe door and started hitting the door, fire had started climbing up his clothes and shoes bit but bit.

The smell of carbon four oxide got stronger that I had started to have a headache, I heard a big bang in the door, it was accompanied by another that another, and within a short while, an axe went through the hinges of my wooden door, ”Rosalina if you are behind the door get out of the way!" A voice said it was my dad and he sounded like he was in pain.
I immediately shifted from behind the door and it came flying in the air, it appeared that he kicked it open, and my eyes opened in horror as I saw that every other part if the house was on fire, including my dad's clothes, “papi, we have to get you out I those clothes!" I shouted as tears were welling up in my eyes seeing my dad in that state, he was in pain, but still he just said, “honeybdintvwoeey about me, just get to safety first alright."
