Chapter 3
At eight o'clock in the morning when I was able to say goodbye to ma'mang, I only said a little drama and chena to convince her that I was happy there in this rotten club.
But since I have already earned money there, enough of the insults.
I put the two suitcases on an iron bed in the room, two floors of the shop I bought. There is a bathroom downstairs as well as upstairs. The space underneath is clear so I can think of building a flower shop and a coffee table.
I sat on the iron with no bed, I still need to buy household items but the other table and chairs I ordered have not yet arrived.
That needs to be prioritized so as not to be short on money.
"Where are you now, Shai?" That's what I told Shaira when she answered my call, I was planning to go with her to look for materials for this shop.
"At Jacob's house.."
"Wow, at home? Meaning to say at Jacob's house!" I'm really amazed by what shaira answered, if before she was only in the condo. Now she's in Jacob's house?
I think my friend has hit the big time.
"That's why he said home.." I laughed a little at his answer, feeling excited to see wherever he was.
So when it said Jacob's place, I easily took a taxi and briefly closed the empty space.
"Here it is!" the taxi stopped at the big gate where shaira was leaning there, I was laughing a little at the clothes she had because her body was wrapped.
I kissed her cheeks after I greeted her. "What fashion is that, shai, are you planning to attend the meeting?"
"This is what I was going to tell you earlier.."
”Is that it? Are you going to ask me how to shop for fashion everyday?”
He mumbled, as long as he had an attitude. ”It's not that, tsk. Let's go inside first..”
”Wie, okay!” I was the first to enter their said mansion, no. Monteclaro Mansion by the way, and the goddess shaira was clutching a ripe mango!
"You live here!" I was amazed as I turned my eyes, the chandelier in the middle was magnificent and my eyes really sparkled.
"Just temporarily while I study.."
"Oh my god, you really are a jackpot with Jacob, the house is beautiful, a palace!" shaira grimaced at me, but what! I'm just amazed at what I see, I don't think my little feet deserve to set foot in this place, I should have gone to a foot spa first, but of course don't!
"I know I'll get you something to drink soon.." he was about to turn away when I squealed.
”I don't want water, I want juice!” I laughed again at his reaction, because of the beauty of this house. They must also be rich in food.
"Yes, you want it with a sandwich."
"With cake, nothing?"
"With kotong you want?" is the harsh one, but don't be chossy. My little pet in the stomach is also hungry, I guess I haven't had breakfast with my savings.
"Alright, just with a sandwich.." he turned around with a grimace still on his face, but his outfit was really weird as if he was hiding something in his body.
I walked to the side where I could see the picture frames, the ostentatious because there were some family pictures of the Monteclaros. And what makes me even more curious is why the scumbag Noah is here.
Someone whispered behind my back, but I ignored it because of the man's photo. He was there with jacob and dianneya, the handsome grasshopper.
"Excuse me?" I looked at the male voice that spoke to me, and when I saw who it was, I almost frowned.
"you!" We still have the same pronunciation, but. What is he doing here!
"What are you doing here?" My forehead was still wrinkled when I asked, but here he was and laughed.
"I should be the one to ask that, what are you doing here?" I just raised an eyebrow at him, is it right to take my question back?
"Oh, I know! You're the new maid here, gosh. I already know!”
"W-what did you say?" I can not believe. "I'm fine with this, you maids?"
"Which side is beautiful?" He caressed my body while raising his eyebrows, continuing to lower until his eyes stopped on my chest, tsk. What are you doing now?
He looked away. ”Get me something to drink, better, call your boss too..”
"I don't want to be here!" I was surprised by my sudden shout, it was just irritating because this waitress had mistaken me for her before and now she is an assistant.
Is there a sexy maid dressed up?
"W-why are you shouting?"
"Because your annoying, ugly chinito!"
"W-what!"
"I Haye you!"
I turned away from him irritable, my footsteps were heavy as I entered where Shaira had gone earlier.
"You thought he was handsome, he looks like a janitor wearing this!" I sat in the empty seat, Shaira was with someone who was preparing food at the guild.
”Who looks like a janitor?” Shaira placed some prepared sandwiches in front of me. I took one before answering.
"Do you still know the guy who took you to the club?"
"Noah?"
I laughed, he must have known that, maybe he is related to Jacob.
”Is that his name?” I just found out its name, but I knew it for years. ”His name is as ugly as this..”
"Sir Noah ma'am is handsome.." I raised my eyebrows at the maid next to Shaira.
"Are your standards for handsome already that low?"
"Yes?"
”That's not handsome for me, his squinting eyes, he looks like a grasshopper!” she was stunned by him, he bit his lip and didn't answer. I must have said something funny to make him stop smiling.
"By the way, what is your good news?" Shaira suddenly changed the subject, I looked at her, smiling.
”I left the club..”
"Since when?"
”It will be two days..”
"Really? It is good that you are allowed?” he pulled out a chair and sat next to me.
”I paid mamang to allow me to leave, you know. I have also saved a lot because of the time I was there..”
"Money has really swallowed that old man.."
”True..” we both sighed, but here he was asking something again.
”Is that the good news?” I smiled, before shaking my head.
"No of course, this is the good news.." I took the cellphone from the pouch and easily looked for the photo of the space I bought.
"What is that?" he was surprised at what I showed.
"I bought.."
"Wow, really?" I nodded "Are you going to build your own house?"
”No, I will make it a mini flower shop with a coffee..”
”When do you plan to start?”
"Tomorrow!" my voice is friendly, tomorrow I will start fixing because I am so excited, I will buy some things because my orders will definitely arrive tomorrow.
"It's close to Fatima because there are only a few coffee shops there, plus I'm the only one who sells flowers around Fatima." I added.
"So you bought it for so much?"
"Swak in the pocket.."
he nodded. "If I'm not busy I'll visit you, I won't miss the opening.." I smiled before putting my hand on the table.
"I didn't think I would be able to buy it, my father spent a lot of money on treatment, my mother is always taking money from me.."
"How is your father?"
"It's still like that, there's still pain.." I sighed. ”We have three siblings, I'm the eldest but why is everyone always on me? Your brother of mine even brought home something to eat..” I sighed again, my brother is in his twenties and he is bringing home a bride.
It's not that I have a bad attitude, I'm already busy with work and my income is not enough, that's in addition to expenses, I wish they would help but they don't.
"Because you are the only one with a job.."
” Brandon also has a job, both he and his wife. But the burden is all on me, I'm not at home with all my cargo.." I feel bad, I guess I'm only resentful now since my mother drove me away and sold me.
”They are still your parents, you should just reciprocate and give credit for what they did to raise you..” I laughed violently, if only my father was the only one I could take care of, it would be possible, but I'm not that bad to my siblings.
"They don't consider me a child, they treat me like an adopted child, the mother did sell me.."
After all, she is not my real mother. He can probably do what he wants, what else am I dramatizing?
”Someone really does something wrong..”
"That's not a mistake, shai, it's a wish.." I shook my head, but when I finally realized my situation, there was nothing I could do, maybe this is my only mission in the world. "But you're right, even if they rejected me before, I can't reject them because I have a heart, not like them.."
He held my shoulder. "You're a good person.." I laughed,
"I'm a nice person.."
"Who's beautiful?!" I turned to hear the familiar voice from the door, here is the ghost.
Apple alert.
"You?" I just raised an eyebrow at his question to me.
”I dont talk to a grasshopper..” I cried, I heard a soft laugh coming from the side, And there was the handsome jacob.
She's hot today, I hope it's all for Shaira.
"With this handsome man, you're going to call me a grasshopper?" Noah's voice tormented me again.
"Who said you're handsome, your conscience?"
"Many people said, not just ten, but twenty.."
”You believe too much in hearsay, tsk..”
"Hey!" His eyes widened at me, his lips twitched as if he was pissed off, don't tell me he's going to hit me, what did he think I'd back him up? "You're so arrogant!"
"Why do you want a fight?!" I stood up, raising my forehead to him.
”I don't hit a woman to pat!”
"Then you don't have a gut, you're an idiot.."
”You think because you said that I'm going to undress!” I laughed while shaking my head, as if he just imitated what I said the last time we met.
Thank you
"Why don't you undress, I'll touch you.."
"Ha!" He laughed, holding his chin while looking at me. "Did you say that you have a strong desire for me! Aha!"
"You're so thick!" he bit his lip, and because of that my mind seemed to have gone blank.
He is handsome, but it revives the irritation in my body. I can't accept that he can't remember me but in my mind he hasn't disappeared since then.
"I'm going to go with you now, just in case Jacob won't let you.." I was already outside the mansion, we talked a lot after Noah left, that guy really got high blood pressure.
"Of course.."
"Gosh, don't stop. Maybe jacob will miss you..” I smiled at her, aside from being a good friend, Shaira also has issues about her father, I found out now that she didn't grow up with a real father, it's just sad that we have almost the same experience.
I didn't even see my mother.
”Next time, visit the shop, hm?”
"Of course. Me too.." I smiled big as I left, but inside I seemed to be missing something.
Shaira was happy even though she was not her blood relative who sheltered her, but she never considered me as her daughter.
Beeeeppp..
A honking car made me turn around, there were no taxis here so I had to walk on the highway that was far away.
It would be embarrassing if I had to deliver to Jacob.
"You're going home?" I stared at his narrow eyes, after he blocked me earlier he was here to talk to me as if nothing had happened.
"Get on board.."
”No, thanks..” I walked straight, intending to hit him but his car came one after the other.
”I'll take you where you're going..” I stopped, I looked at him with a mixture of surprise.
"And why are you doing this?"
