Two years after his breakup, a homeless man met his ex\u2019s friend, who told him his ex-girlfriend had left his daughter at a shelter. \u201cMy daughter?\u201d he asked surprisingly. \u201cI\u2019m going to get her out of there!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHi, honey!\u201d Kyle said as he walked into his apartment. \u201cWhy did you ask me to come home early today? Is everything OK?\u201d He entered their bedroom and was surprised to see his girlfriend pack her clothes.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you going somewhere, Tina?\u201d he asked. \u201cYes, I\u2019m leaving. I can\u2019t live with you anymore, Kyle.\u201d Tina zipped her bag and dragged it near the apartment\u2019s entrance. \u201cJack is here to pick me,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\u201cJack? Who\u2019s Jack?\u201d Kyle asked. He could feel his heart race and his cheeks flush red. Tina was his girlfriend for two years, and they had recently moved into an apartment.<\/p>\n

Kyle met Tina at the grocery store he worked at. He was the manager when she began interning there; they had been inseparable since then. Living without her was something he could never imagine.<\/p>\n

\u201cJack is my boyfriend, Kyle,\u201d Tina replied coldly. \u201cI have been with him for six months, and we can\u2019t live apart anymore. He works as a manager at one of the biggest construction companies in town.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow could you cheat on me, Tina? I trusted you!\u201d Kyle cried. It was hard for him to believe that the woman he loved the most didn\u2019t want to be with him. She had chosen someone else over him.<\/p>\n

Kyle told Sarah he was her father and promised his little angel that he would return to take her back home.
\nKyle helplessly watched his girlfriend leave their apartment as tears rolled down his cheeks. He thought he would live with her forever, but fate had other plans.<\/p>\n

Soon, Kyle stopped returning home early from work and went to the bar instead. Over there, he made friends who eventually ruined his life. Within a few weeks, Kyle lost his job and couldn\u2019t pay his bills on time. Eventually, his landlord evicted him, forcing him to live on the streets.<\/p>\n

\u201cKyle? Is that you?\u201d he heard a familiar feminine voice. When he looked up, he saw Tina\u2019s friend standing in front of him on the sidewalk. \u201cWhat happened to you?\u201d she asked, surprised.<\/p>\n

It had been two years since Kyle and Tina had broken up. After losing his job, Kyle had been living on the streets and eating leftovers from the dumpster.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, it\u2019s me. It\u2019s a long story,\u201d Kyle said as he stood up from the sidewalk. He could see how confused Tina\u2019s friend was, so he decided to tell her about what had happened a year ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, Kyle. I feel so bad for you!\u201d Tina\u2019s friend said. \u201cTina never told me she cheated on you with Jack.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI never expected her to leave me like that,\u201d Kyle replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, Kyle, I wanted to talk to you about something. I\u2019m glad we met today.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSure, what\u2019s on your mind?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKyle, do you know Tina was pregnant when she left you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat? I didn\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure she didn\u2019t tell you about it. She had a baby girl six months after she left you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh my God! I\u2019m a father?\u201d Kyle sat up. He looked mindlessly at the cars passing by while he thought about his daughter. \u201cI\u2019m sure Tina will never let me meet her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think so,\u201d Tina\u2019s friend replied. \u201cJack found out the daughter wasn\u2019t his, and he pressured Tina to give the child up. So Tina dropped the baby at a shelter just months after she was born.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d Kyle covered his mouth and looked at Tina\u2019s friend in disbelief. \u201cWhich shelter is it? Can you give me the address?\u201d<\/p>\n

The next day, after shaving his beard and wearing clean clothes, Kyle entered the shelter to meet his daughter. Soon, the receptionist took him to see a 1.5-year-old girl who looked just like him.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh my!\u201d Kyle gasped.<\/p>\n

\u201cHi, little princess! Look who\u2019s here to see you,\u201d the receptionist said to Kyle\u2019s daughter. The little girl looked at him with eyes wide open and then smiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cHi, Sarah. I\u2019m Kyle. How are you, sweetheart?\u201d Kyle asked.<\/p>\n

After the receptionist left, Kyle told Sarah he was her father and promised his little angel that he would return to take her back home. However, he had no idea how he would afford to rent an apartment after being homeless for two years.<\/p>\n

The following day, Kyle visited several stores and told the owners about his experience as a grocery store manager. Since he wasn\u2019t dressed appropriately and didn\u2019t have his experience letter or CV as proof, no one hired him.<\/p>\n

Instead, the store owners laughed at him because they thought he was a homeless person who didn\u2019t know what he was doing. Instead of giving up, Kyle asked the store owners to hire him as a cleaner, but no one agreed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat should I do now?\u201d Kyle wondered. He knew he couldn\u2019t give up because his daughter\u2019s life depended on him. Later that day, Kyle cleaned the area outside the stores, hoping the shop owners would appreciate his hard work.<\/p>\n

All except one older man mocked Kyle. The kind store owner asked Kyle to join his store as a cleaner starting the next day. \u201cI\u2019ll see you tomorrow, sir,\u201d Kyle said before he left.<\/p>\n

The following day, Kyle began working at the store. He worked as a cleaner for the entire week and waited for the right opportunity to tell the shop owner about his past work experience. He didn\u2019t want to keep working as a cleaner.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have worked as a store manager for about two years, sir,\u201d Kyle said. \u201cHowever, I lost everything I owned after an unfortunate incident in my life. But I want to work and earn a living again. I\u2019m so glad you gave me a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Kyle shared his knowledge about management with the shop owner, he resumed mopping the floor. While cleaning, Kyle stumbled across a wallet full of cash. \u201cWho left this here?\u201d he wondered.<\/p>\n

Instead of stealing the money, Kyle gave the wallet to the store owner and told him a customer might have accidentally dropped it in the store. Even though he was tempted to keep the wallet, he decided to be honest, unaware of how things would soon take a turn for the better.<\/p>\n

\u201cI kept the wallet there, Kyle,\u201d the store owner replied. \u201cI wanted to test you, and I\u2019m glad to announce that you have passed. I think it\u2019s about time I promote you to the store manager position.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, thank you, sir!\u201d Kyle replied. \u201cI promise you I won\u2019t let you down.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou better increase the sales and watch out for shoplifters, young man!\u201d the store owner joked.<\/p>\n

Kyle worked at the same store for two years until he had saved enough money to get Sarah out of the shelter. On her fourth birthday, Kyle surprised her and took her to his new apartment.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow do you like your new home, my little princess?\u201d Kyle asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, Daddy! Our house is so beautiful,\u201d Sarah cheered. \u201cI can\u2019t believe you kept your promise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sarah hugged her father while tears rolled down Kyle\u2019s cheeks. Soon, he enrolled her in the nearest school and continued his job as a store manager. Kyle had finally found a purpose in his life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
