Mr koik is known as a business man and likewise his wife only that no one knows what kind of business they both do. Hannah only knows her parent left the house early before she wake up and late when she's asleep.

Little hannah turns fifteen in two weeks and it been three months she saw her parents last because they went on a business trip and only call her once since they left. Hannah had no friends because right from childhood she find it hard talking ,she prefer to be alone. She called the number her parents used to call her last but the number has always been off. The two weeks before her birthday she couldn't reach her parents so she lost the hope of them coming.

On her birthday she got an envelope through mail from her dad that they won't be able to come but there is a safe in their room and she should open it. Hannah was disappointed by her parent unlove and uncared attitude towards her. She went to her parents room to see what was in the safe. When she open it,she saw a key and a note that reads "HAPPY BIRTHDAY OUR LITTLE HANNAH". She was confused on what to use the key for but didn't understand the message her parents were passing across to her.she took the key and find a rob and use it as necklace till her parents will come back from their business trip and tell her what the key opens.

Months turns into years and hannah still didn't hear from her parents anymore. She learn to live her life after the money her parents left in their room finish. She got herself a job at a coffee shop where she work two hours in the morning before going to school and after school she resume as a ice cream seller to a van shop owner at the end of the street to her house. She live her life like that till she finish high school. After high school she thought to herself to seat for a state scholarship so it will help pay her tuition through college. Luckily, she passed the test and went for the interview and was chosen among the top five that will get the scholarship.

Hannah as a wise child in her twenties had saved money to start making coffee but since she can't afford to get a shop she cleared her sitting room and used it as a shop. She make a sign post outside the house advertising her business as 'Han's coffee'. She also make deliveries to offices and people likes her coffee so much because of her good customer relations. People start to know her shop and come early morning for han's coffee. Many offices start to order for her coffee and she deliver to every offices on time with no mistake on each person's favorite order.

At thirty,han's coffee shop has expanded outside, she employed more staffs to support her at the shop. I know you will wonder weather she already forgot her parents and live her life. Well she always remember them each time she sees the key in her neck. She had reported missing couple to the police but their names wasn't registered online. She tried to find a picture of them in the house but they never had any,even when hannah was a child she never remember seeing a picture of herself. She knows her parents but there was no single picture of them to be able to identify them by the police or anyone that might have seen them somehow. Hannah accepted her faith and hope someday her parents will come back or maybe someone who know their identity will come looking for them.
