I’m just here to return this envelope. The voice, weak yet firm, came from a 13-year-old street kid with sun-tanned skin, wearing worn shorts and nearly unusable flip-flops.
He held a brown envelope with both hands, as if it contained something much heavier than paper. In the meeting room, the silence was broken by the millionaire’s laughter. “You came to return money, that’s all,” he mocked, leaning back in his leather armchair.
A street kid returning an envelope. “What a surprise!” The executives looked down, pretending to work on spreadsheets. From above, behind tinted glass, another person watched the scene through security cameras.
An elderly man with white hair, a tired expression, and a watchful gaze, wasn’t laughing. He gripped his cane tightly. The boy, not understanding the magnitude of the confusion, simply repeated the words, looking at the envelope.
It’s not mine. I found it in the trash. It has your names on it. I just came to return it. The millionaire laughed even harder, but whoever was really in charge there wasn’t amused.

He was 13 years old, thin, and had curly hair that hadn’t been cut in months. He slept whenever he could, in a closed shop near a bakery that sometimes gave him and other boys stale bread.
But he wasn’t born on the street. No one is born a street child. Rab was born in a house with a cold floor, old tiles, and the smell of weak coffee and bar soap.
His mother, Elena, was one of those women who spent their days cleaning other people’s houses and still came home apologizing for being tired. He liked to hum softly while he did the laundry.
All Rab had left of his father was his name and a vague memory, a tall, bearded man who one day left saying he was going to take care of some business and never returned.
No one really explained to her if he had left. There was only silence and Elena’s impassive expression whenever someone asked. When she was 9 years old, life became too complicated for her.
The rent was overdue. The electricity was cut off. His mother’s employer fired him without pay because he was no longer working. An eviction. A night on the street with the few bags of clothes he had, the promise that tomorrow we’ll sort it out.
