Treasure

In a remote place called the Smokey Mountain, there lived Hannah, seven years old, daughter of Mang Bestre and Aling Igna. Hannah is a little child that has a wild imagination and an ambition that cannot be understood by her playmates and also her parents. She will always tell them that one day she will be able to get out of Smokey Mountain and be someone rich and famous, sweet-smelling and nice-looking.

Mang Bestre and Aling Igna are always puzzled by their daughter’s actuations. They wonder where she gets her ideas. Without them knowing, Hannah when left in the house will go, after daycare school, to the neighboring house, and watch TV. At first, it was like a shock to her to know that there exist beautiful houses, pretty people, beautiful clothes, nice cars, and many more that she had not seen in their neighborhood.

And so after seeing these things from the television, Hannah started imagining and hoping fervently that she will one day get money and get away from Smokey mountain.

One night, as she was watching the moon outside their house, sitting by the last step of their house, she heard voices. She silently walked into the location and saw two men talking. She slipped at the back of a big drum where they save water. The two men were arguing about a treasure they had buried in that exact location near where they stand. The argument lasted for a few minutes but agreed later that they will wait for midnight to come. They will come back in the midnight to dig for the treasure was all Hannah remembered clearly.

When they left, Hannah looked for something she could use to dig and hurriedly went to the area where the two men were standing a while ago. She prepared herself and started digging. After several moments of digging with her tool, she heard a click. A loud boom ensued.
