It was a cold, windy day when Vincent decided to visit Galleria dell'Accademia by himself. He’s been here a few times last year and kept coming back because of its elegance. He was amazed by the spectacular Michelangelo’s sculpture and the panel paintings hanging in the walls. Vincent was a third year international studies student who works as a part time photographer to support himself because his parents can’t provide the expenses the university requires. Nevertheless, he doesn’t hold any grudge to his mom and dad who supported him along the way.
But what brings him here again was the Asian girl who talks about the artist’ life. He met her the last time he toured the museum. Today, she was wearing an oversized …show more content…
She tapped his shoulders and said, “Buongiorno Signore! Are you enjoying your tour Sir? What can you say about David?”
Vincent was astonished. He cleared his throat before opening his mouth to answer her question.
“It’s uh…well...It’s marvelous. David was well known for his noble acts that’s why he was considered as a biblical hero.”
“Yes, he is. But you know what, Sir? Every one of us can be a hero in our little ways.” She said.
Vincent was trying to compose himself in front of Christine whose smiling was captivating.
“Sono d'accordo. Yes. No matter what our status in life, either poor or rich, gender and religion, anyone who’s heart is pure and ready to help others can be a hero.” Vincent replied.
“In our country sir, if you don’t mind … Overseas workers are heroes too. Just like me. I have to work abroad to support the living of my family.

“Piacere di conoscerti, Vincent. I’m Christine. But you can call me Tin, if you want to.”
They shake their hands and talked for a while before they headed home. Vincent was so glad that he became the man he had to be in front of Christine. He had the courage to talk to her not just once but he was able to become friends with her. His smile never left his face, like he was alive once again. He knows himself very well that he doesn’t care about anything other than his parents. He wants to help them badly, however as long as he’s still in college; he still can’t do much for them. However, Christine’s appearance opened his eyes to the new wonders he never thought exist. Yet Vincent wasn’t aware of his own actions. He might be acting weird but he’s straightforward when it comes to his feelings.
On the next day, Christine and Vincent decided to meet at Gelateria lo Squero . Vincent was excited to meet Christine again. He waited for the girl come but it’s been three hour and no Christine came. He looks so devastated. His eyes slowly turns to icy cold, and his lips run dry but when he was about to leave, he heard a girl shouting for his name.
“scusa sono in ritardo!” Christine was
