CHAPTER 08: Disturbing
She is also a hard-headed girl because she just sometimes entering school. She really have a lot of time here, maybe going outside with those nice places or resort to visit and the worst is she don’t have any companion.
When I reach the fourth floor I move faster and we separated. In doing this cleaning I need to be more energetic. I need to be strong! Like what I’ve done before. Maybe I’m not strong I actually don’t know what to do that time.
I enter one room and I’m not wondering if it’s too dirty or not.
Some papers on the floor, chips, and shoes leaving footprints. In cleaning, I put more attention on the floor and also in the bathroom because that’s the part that I take more minutes to finish.
I start cleaning and when I finish I go to the other rooms. That’s a cycle.
Exactly, two hours I’m done. I’m really hungry and I quickly went to the kitchen. Aunt Meredith has two chefs here, they are good at cooking and I can eat a lot if I want.
When I’m done eating, I start to wash dishes. Probably not only mine but all of the customers’ dishes. Because there’s a small eatery here down stairs and the other occupance here in the apartment is eating here.
After this I will going start cleaning again so that I can take lunch. Then, I’m going to wash dishes again and if I’m done I can rest. I can take my online class in 4 hours.
At 6 o’clock I’m going to help Aunt Meredith in serving food for the customers dinner then I’m going to take my dinner too and wash again dishes.
That’s my whole life working.
*****
Aunt Meredith allow me to use the free internet here so that I can take my online class.
I am now a Senior High school student and eighteen years old. I’m very excited because three more months left I’m going to graduate.
It’s been two years when I am having an online class, maybe I don’t want it but I can’t do anything.
Aunt Meredith force me to take an online class than go to school every day. According to her, it’s much better to do, so that I can help her. Because she doesn’t want to hire other workers.
By the way, she is right because we’re not family then she’s the one who provides all my expenses. I’m very thankful that I’ve met her.
She is also the one who gets all my school papers in my old school. When I’ve continued and finished my fourth-year high school here I didn’t felt sad during the recognition ceremony.
Who can believe that there is someone very happy seeing me on stage, not only Aunt Meredith but even all the teacher and student. They considered me as one of the smarter in the school.
But the truth is I’m not. Maybe the reason is I was previously studying at a private school and we’re advance in lessons.
I was truly glad in that school because I have a lot of friends and they didn’t hurt me.
I’m not going to forget the wonderful memories that I made in that school even it’s just a few days. I’m really sad that Aunt Meredith will not be going to allow me to go to school anymore.
But I just accept it because I can’t do anything.
I always bear in my mind that if I can’t do anything in the worst situation I just need to accept it, so that I can go with my life. Go with the flow!
And I’m going to accept the fact that I can’t be happy and my life sucks.
I stop myself from imagining my past when my phone ring. I pick it and answer.
“Hello?” I say on other lines but no one is talking.
“Hello?”
“Hello!” Still, there is no one answering. I have lost my patience to whom is calling. I’m going to hang up the call but I stop when someone suddenly speak.
“Hello! Good evening! Sorry for disturbing you.”
