A woman walks to Eddie and tells him to go in to the restaurant. But Eddie is not willing to do that because his father is in there too. He hates his father so much. His father always scolded him and hits him, though there was not his fault. He thinks his father is more like his younger bother than him. He also thinks that his father died because he had a heavy drink in a heavy rainy night outside and had the pneumonia. After he dead, Eddie had to earn money for the family. He had to give up his dream what was to be an engineer. He also had to take his father’s place in the family. He worked in Ruby Pier for his whole life. He hates this place too.
The woman is the third people Eddie meets. Eddie tells her that he doesn’t know her. The woman says that she is in his life and she also influences his whole life. Please trust her. They go in to the restaurant. The woman tells Eddie that she knows all the people in the restaurant. They are in her memory, so she can let them in her heaven. But that is just the memory not the real. She points to the photos on the wall, and says. She was there when the park opened at the first day. She is Ruby Pier. That is her park. When she was young, she was waitress in this restaurant. That was the happiest memory in her life. She met her husband here. Her husband was so rich. After they married, her husband built the park for her. There was a photo of Ruby Pier’s on the park gate. Her husband wanted Ruby could see everyone who was in the park.
But one day, the park had a heavy fire because of firework. Ruby’s husband wanted to take her photo that was on the gate. After this happen, many people were died and her husband was sick. She spent all of their money for her husband to treatment. She sold the park either. She took care of her husband everyday. Several months later, her husband was died. She lost everything because the park. She is rather than didn’t build the park. The park had hurt so many people even herself.
The woman keeps talking, she tells Eddie that his father was a really good man. He dead did not because of drinking. At that heavy rainy night, his friend came to his house and wanted to do something to his wife. At that time, he came home and saw what happened. He was so angry. He wanted to catch him and fight with him. He kept running on the street to catch his friend. His friend fell in the sea. His friend could ignore his friend and went away, but he didn’t. He jumped into the sea and saved his friend. His kind-heart defeated his angry. After that, he had the pneumonia and he was died.
Eddie is so sad. The woman tells him that is the third lesson he has to learn. He has to forgive his father. Hatred will hurt both the people who hates and be hated. Forgiveness is very important for us to keep away from hurt.
After she tells Eddie, she is gone. The place has changed again.
