Keys To My Heart

One night I was walking home a call diverted my attention. It was from home. Apparently they need more money which I don't have right now. I didn't notice I stopped in front of a musician. He is more like a dirty homeless guy with overgrown beard with a guitar. His music didn't really attracted me. But still it looks like I disrupted his business by standing right in front of him so I searched for some coins on my pocket and dropped it on his guitar holder. I continued walking while talking on the phone I live close to that place. When I get home I can't find my keys. Shit where is it. That's the turning point of my life when a homeless guy appeared in front of me holding my keys. With that favor this man had given me. He asked so much more in return.

Third Night

My hands are full of groceries. I have no longer stocks inside my apartment. Again the homeless guy is in front of my door. I'm no longer surprised to see him there. I didn't open my door right away.

"I told you not to come back. You are scaring me. I beg of you please leave now." I pleaded.

"I just need to use your toilet. I really needs to dump. If not I just have to do it in front of your door." He talked with his hands together like he is begging. while he is holding his legs as well. Please trust me. I always kept my promise anyway. I always leave.

I'm scared he is already getting used to coming to my apartment if he needs something. But he really looks like he needs the toilet. No restaurants will let him in with his clothing so he could manage his business. So I end up letting him in again. He is happy when I opened the door and let him use my toilet. i unpacked my groceries and started frying eggs. I made egg sandwich to give away to this homeless guy again. It's been 15 minutes and yet he is not out yet. looks like he did more than dumping in there. Yikes he even used my toilet to pleasure himself. I knocked on the door to alert him that he needs to go asap. He might end up sleeping on my toilet or whatever. I don't want to keep him longer. I heard the shower dripping. "Shit he is using my shower. This is what I'm scared of, he is already taking advantage of my kindness." I have no choice but utter this frustration to myself. I ate the food that I prepared then wrap the sandwich in plastic for this man. I'm still on the table eating more eggs when the man came out. He shaved his beard and mustache. His face is cleaner now. I almost didn't recognized him. He still has his long hair but his clean face give him different personality. He changed himself with clean clothes as well. Looks like he earned a little on his busking.

"I'm sorry I used your towel and your toiletries I badly needed a shower. I can't remember the time I had my last descent shower." He said while handling me my towel.

"Just go and don't come back. Take this sandwich eat it in case you're hungry." I lead him out of the door not showing my admiration to the changes on his looks. Good thing he listened and leave again he gave me a vow as a silent thank you gesture. I locked the door as usual as he left. I ignored the thought of how handsome he turned into after shaving his beard. I sleep right after washing my clothes and the towel the man used. I don't even have time to clean the apartment anymore. I'm so tired even my brain is so drained already. I had a long sleep.
