There was a family of three. They lived happily together. Mommy and Daddy both loved their son, who had just turned three. And their son was extremely smart, cute, and talkative. But the good times didn't last. Daddy got addicted to gambling, and started carrying on with a questionable woman. So their house was filled every day with the sound of the parents' arguments and the child's tantrums.

Who could have predicted that in less than half a year, Mommy suddenly disappeared without a trace? Taking his child with him, Daddy searched for her for several days. But they couldn't find her. In the end, they gave up.

After that, Daddy discovered something strange. He noticed that his three year-old son had become sullen and withdrawn, and afraid of meeting new people. Wittingly or unwittingly, he was always staring. His eyes were full of doubt. If you asked him about it, he wouldn't say anything.
