"My children left us here, Doctor. They said they'd be back, but it's been two hours, and they haven't returned."

The man beside her finally spoke, his voice hoarse and heavy with profound sadness.

"Don't worry, ma'am. They'll come... or maybe not. Either way, we're already a burden to everyone."

Those words pierced me like needles.

A burden.

How could people who had given their entire lives for their children feel this way?

I knelt before them and took the woman's hands in mine.

It wasn't normal to see people of that age under the scorching sun without any protection.

I pulled the car over to the shoulder and got out.

Dust rose with my footsteps, and as I approached, I could see their faces clearly.

Her eyes were red, and her cheeks were streaked with dried tears.

He kept his gaze fixed on the ground, as if searching for answers in the hot asphalt.

"Good morning," I said softly, trying not to frighten them. "Are you alright? Do you need help?"

The woman slowly looked up, and in her eyes, I saw something that broke my heart: a mixture of shame, pain, and a resignation no human being should have to bear.

She took a few seconds to answer, and when she did, her voice was broken, like glass shattering into a thousand pieces.
