Carlo on the way back Home (part1)


The recession did not spare Carlo's office in Shanghai and they have to re-trench people. He does not want to tell his wife but he has too let his family know. That night on a Monday of the 1st week of November Carlo said the sad news to his wife on their regular instant messaging. In their chat, he said that he has an interview in HongKong and would go their by end of next week. They talked about regular stuffs like things to pay and specially their two boy’s school fees. At around 1:00AM they finished their chatting and send emoticons to each other for love and kisses.

Carlo stands up and lighted up one cigarette and went near the window. It was cold that night because of the winter season. He could see patrolling cops riding in their bicycles. He would really missed Shanghai after spending almost 3 years there. His apartment is located in an old French concession. His unit is at the fifth floor facing a road which has kept old London Plane trees. The leaves of the deciduous trees are now turning yellow-orange and started to fall. Carlo wishes that his trip to HongKong would be hopeful to land on a future job.
