"W-what do you mean, Sir?" she asked stammering.
Who will not stammer if bad news will wewelcomeou on your arrival. It's early in the morning.
"You heard me right, Miss Morris. Here is your remaining salary. You've been here for three months and three weeks but I handed you all your wages from the past."
"But, Sir. Please--- don't kick me out of your restaurant. I need this job."
She started to panic. How can the world is so cruel to her? Almost eight years ago, she lost her virginity to a gambler just to pay the debts of her father. She bares all the consequences including having a child out of wedlock. But her hopes faded away when that man came from nowhere and stole her precious Hilary and Nathaniel.
Again, she lost in a battle because of her so-called lust a few months ago. She had another wild and lustful time with the same man who gave another life to her. Her family? Instead of accepting her as one of their family member, they dragged her away like she's a rubbish. But that's not surprising because they didn't even bother to look at her when she arrived. That's hurt her even more.
But the most painful part she's three months pregnant again yet she's going to be a jobless person again. She just came on time for her duty as a waitress at a restaurant but her big boss welcomed her with her dismissal. If she will lose her job at the moment, how she will give a decent life to her baby in the future?
In her deep thoughts, her boss's words brought her back to reality.
"In return for your dedication and hard work with us even if it's just a few months, I have you a salary full. And I hope that you will find another job aside from us," Mr Jonas said as he handed her a hundred dollars.
That makes her realise that she's not dreaming. That is why she didn't say any other words anymore. She just accepted her salary and fate that she's a jobless person again. She just needs to go inside to take all her personal belongings that she's using inside the restaurant.
But!
"Oh, Miss Morris, nandito ka pa pala? Aba'y akala ko ay nakaalis ka na. Aba'y mukhang nagkamali ako sa pagkakataong ito ah."
A voice came from a person that she never think of seeing again. It seems that they had an ill fated relationship. Actually, she hate her to death.
"So it's you again, Miss? Did you order my boss to fire me?" hindi niya naiwasang tanong.
That woman is pestering her! She regrets that she met and became her decorator a few months ago. But based on what she heard, the wedding was cancelled and that b***h is throwing all the blames on her.
Aba'y ano ang malay niya sa dahilan ng demonyo at kinansela ang kasal! Dapat nga ay bagay ang dalawa dahil sa mga ugaling mayroon.
"And if I'll say that it is true, wh*re? Are you going to waste your time fighting back with me? Tsk! Tsk! Don't even dream of doing that because I can kill you right away!" she shouted as she pushed her away that she almost fall to the ground
That is why before she can hold on to herself, she stopped her from going away from where she and her boss stands. Then, she slapped her as heavily as she could.
Hindi lang ito ang marunong manakit. Punong-puno ng pasakit ang buhay niya simulat sapol. Subalit mas nagkandaletse-letse ang lahat nang nagsangga ang landas nilang dalawa.
"This is for insulting me for a long time! And this one for losing my job because of your set-up action. We are quit now. And if ever our paths will cross again, it's not just a couple of slaps! Maybe I could kill you too!"
How can she remain silent while that woman ruins her life again? A few months ago, she was beaten by that b***h order and now she is suffering again because losing a job to the same person. She can hear her cursing, calling her by so many names. But she didn't turn her back anymore. Even she forgot to find her goodbyes to her former boss.
'He is crazy after all! Did he fire me because of that woman? How they are related to each other then?' she said to herself while walking away from the restaurant.
"Hey, itchy bitchy! Come back here! I will not let this things going to slides! I will kill you!"
The model is getting wild because of what she did! But she doesn't care at all! She is a human and she wants to be treated as one.
"Damn you! Where are you going? Why you are not listening? Okay, fine! If that is what you wanted, I will it to you! My life was destroyed because of a sl^t like you! That is why I will do the same to you!"
She even cursed her more and more. But since that she was deprived from her job, she will not care anything about that anymore.
'Its better for me to be away within this restaurant if that crazy woman is affiliated with the owner. My life will be more miserable if I'll stay,' she silently mumbled.
MADRID, SPAIN
"How are my children? Will they survive?" may pag-aalalang tanong ni Mr Lopez sa doktor na sumuri sa kaniyang mga anak.
"Yes, Mr Lopez. Don't worry because they are curable. The only thing that I'm worried about is their vital signs. Most of the time, it's not stable," sagot nito sa kaniya.
Upon hearing those words from the doctor, his palms clenched. Kasalanan ng babaeng iyon kung bakit ganoon ang mga anak sa kasalukuyan.
!Damn, that cursed woman! It's all her fault that my children are suffering right now!' he said to himself.
But without knowing, the doctor heard it.
"Sir? Are you saying something?" tuloy ay tanong nito.
"No. I'm thinking of something." He denied.
He cannot open it from anyone about that b***h! That is why he needs to control himself after all. Kaya't iba ang tinuran niya.
"By the way, Doctor. Can I ask something about my children?" he asked once again after a while of silence.
"Sure, Mr Lopez. I am their doctor that is why it's my responsibility to explain how are they," the doctor answered.
"Thank you, Doctor. If I'll request you a referral for surgery, can you grant my request?" As a father, he will do everything for them. It breaks his heart to see them suffer.
"Mr Lopez, that is what I'll tell you. As soon as possible you need to do that. And since that we have g, general surgeons here in the hospital, we can schedule their operation right away." The doctor smiled as he nodded.
So its!
They need to prepare for everything so that they can push through the operation.
"CONGRATULATIONS, Mr Lopez. The operation of your sons was successfully done."
After few hours of waiting outside the operating room, finally the surgeon happily came out and greeted him.
"Wow! That's a great news indeed, doctor. Thank you very much," he answered.
"Your welcome, Mr Lopez. And besides, you don't need to thanks me. Because I just only did my duty as a doctor. Even your children are surviving from their illness," he explained once again.
He is indeed a s*x addicted or in other words, a maniac who always show interest in having s****l intercourses to any woman who even seek pleasure and money as well. But since he known the existence of his children, when he discovered the secret agenda of Swizz girlfriend and most of all, when that wild and lustful night repeated almost one year ago. That scene always chasing him.
"So, I'll go ahead for now, Mr Lopez. Later, after we transferred them to a room, I will talk you you once more about the do's and don't's."
The doctor's words awaken him from his deep thoughts. Even he cursed silently himself for the reason that he's still thinking about that wrench. But after all, he managed to composed himself and smiled as he nodded.
AS the days go on!
"Miss Morris, your belly is getting big and round now. I'm afraid that you cannot work anymore," the manager of the club where Nathalie is working said.
"It's okay, Madam. I know that this time will come again. But don't worry because I used to have it," sagot niya.
Amaninin man niya o hindi ay kinakabahan siya sa tenor nang pananalita nito. Kahit pa sabihing maganda ang pakikitungo nito sa kaniya simula noong unang araw na tumapak siya sa lugar nito.
"But I'm so sad to let you leave. Because since the day that you are here, my income goes up beyond my expectations. You even call me the way I wanted to be called. I'm a man in outlook appearance but my heart is a woman," Madam Hera says.
"Madam Hera, although I'll be leaving, it's just for a while. After few months after giving birth, I can work with you here again. You are my family after all." She smiled.
After leaving the restaurant where she worked for three months, she met Mr Hero or Miss Hera as she calls him. He helped her to have a lodging that is very near to the club. And after a few days, he offered her if she wants to work as a dishwasher. As a single mother, she will do everything to save enough money for herself her and future child.
But!
One day, before the due and final month of her pregnancy, someone knocked on her door. A person that she never expected to be seen.
But who are they?
What do they need with her?
Puro pasakit na lamang ba ang nangyayari sa buhay niyang hindi maunawaan?
Stay tuned and those questions will be answered.
