Chapter 4 4

My body collapsed while I wanted to go home to sleep and rest. I just finished my shift at my part time job and we are closing.

It's nine o'clock at night and the owner of the donut shop is taking inventory today. We all sat and waited for them to finish. The owner said he had something to say, so we didn't go home.

"Adelrina, I have something to tell you. The others can go home," he said and my colleagues left for work, I was also planning to leave and fortunately Ma'am and I were left behind. It's embarrassing to say while I still have a colleague here.

I took my phone and made a rough draft for a while, so that later when I go home I will write a little when I go to sleep.

The scene lately, I can't believe that the man I'm imagining will meet me in person. Touched and both are the same as my description here. I can't help but be thrilled.

It feels like I am on the arms of the man of my dream when he held me, I feel safe and protected by him earlier. I hope that happens again and I get to know him better.

I am not hoping that he will love me, but I know that I have looks and I will do my best to make him notice me.

"Adelrina." I look at her and she sat in front of me, the owner of the shop. He was smiling and holding the pouch that was sold for that day.

"I wanted to tell you something, hija." He sat up and I focused my full attention on him. She smiled bitterly and took a deep breath. Every gesture she made is making me feel nervous.

"Hija, it looks like I can't pay you anymore. Sales were poor last week and you're the only newly hired one." My grip on my phone tightened and I swallowed what he said. Does that mean I will be fired?

What can I do, it's still hard to find a job in our town especially since it's not a city and it's even rarer among them to find a parr timer. Everyone wants to be full time.

"What do you want to say?" I was afraid to ask this, I am not ready. I just finished a good thing that happened to me today, and then my day ended like this.

"What I want to convey hija. Just finish one month and don't end your contract. I really can't pay you anything anymore. My family also has a problem so I really need to reduce the number of employees. I hope you understand me hija . Im really sorry." She held my hand and smiled at me.

I smile back and just nod. "Yes, I understand." I stood up and grabbed my bag. It stopped me and asked again. "What are you going to say, didn't you say something earlier before your shift started?" I turned and smiled at her.

"Nothing ma'am, I'm going home." I waved here before leaving the shop. I'm really unlucky any time. As much as they can remove, why me?

I wipe my tears and walk away, I wish I was just like the character I'm writing. Someone will save him when he is bitter and has no one else to lean on. Because I have no one to hold on to when I need help, my own family is like a stranger to me. They treat me in every possible way that I can suffer.

Sometimes, I asked my self if I deserve all of this. I never did anything bad to them, I did everything for their happiness. But all they did was to hurt me and make me feel uncomfortable. I want to rest and relax, but where and when? Even simple things make other people throw up on me.

I walk and look at the sky, I want to disappear and disappear like a bubble. To be honest, bad luck has never bothered me. All I suffered was pain, from this past. I'm just really unlucky.

I open the gate and it's quiet around, I forgot to buy my food again, it's just right and my fare until tomorrow. I'm not sure if I'll get a tip or not.

I walked to the store and it was already closed, I couldn't do anything so I just entered the house and just like what greets me every day, there was no one downstairs. There was a noise behind our house so I went there.

When I opened the door, my Mom and Dad were gambling. There were many people at the long table and I saw that they were gambling with the money I worked for. I sighed and slammed the door shut. My brother is not in his room which is surprising.

I went up and got dressed, rummaged around and thought maybe I had some coins saved and I could buy food. I saw something but it's not enough, it's bad but I have to do it.

I went straight to Mama's room, there was a wallet there and it exploded. There was so much meat, I just shook my head and took a hundred.

I quickly got out and headed to the other corner and there was an open hallway there, there were a lot of people and I wasn't worried about how I would do. My eyes narrowed when I saw my brother there, he had a lot of friends and was hanging out on the court.

I hid and I was even more shocked because there was a boy on my sister's arm and they were sweet. I'm starting to get bored now. My parents treated him well and then he does it like that. He was still in uniform and I was very surprised when someone handed him a cigarette and he accepted it.

He inhaled and smiled at the man who was on his arm, they kissed and stood up. Stay away from their colleagues.

I lost my appetite.
