faes was running as fast as she can towards a diner. She was late as always but she cant help it as faes was a student too. After the college ends faes go to work as she needs money to pay the rents. Since she remembers she don't have any family and grew up in an orphanage and never got adapted. faes worked hard and got a scholarship in the best university which took care of the fees. she was almost twenty years old and living in her own apartment now but she have to pay the rents.
Unluckily the place faes work is far away from her university and she have to run there every day which results in her getting late just like now. Her boss has warned her that she will have to find another job if this continues and she have a feeling that today will be the day. Sighing faes forced herself to run faster with the heavy bag she was carrying. To maintain the scholarship faes have to get good grades and for that have to study hard and also the classes she take end up late than usual!
It was nearly dark when faes got to the diner she works on and got in from the back door panting. 'I was dead tired from the running and late again! I am doomed!' she thought
"faes! You are late!" her boss shouted as he appeared in front of her with an angry expression.
"sorry" faes answered as she sighed internally thinking about how to ease his anger so he does not fire her.
"I told you if you get one more time late you have to go job hunting and I was serious sorry but here is your salary for the time you worked" he said giving her an envelope. He knew that faes was struggling but it does not mean that he will let her personal life affect his work. 'I knew this would happen that is why I wanted to come early yet here I am.' Faes wanted to cry but the tears just wont drop.
"it wont happen again" faes tried to pled but he shook his head
"I know your condition but I am sorry I cant let it affect my work" he said his thoughts
"but at least let me work till I find a new job!" she argued still understanding that he was indeed right.
"no means no and now I think you should go and begin finding a new job that suites your time" he said and before faes can say anything he turned around and left. 'God now what!' she thought, He was a strict person and also knew that she need money. The salary he gave her each month was just enough to pay rents and fulfil other needs. 'but what now?' she sighed again and checked the envelop and found that it had extra money than her normal salary which made her feel guilty and also sad. faes was almost always late and now she was paying for it but well it wasn't her fault completely. The class ends late and she don't have a car or even a bike and most of all the distance between the places! Its all your fault god! she shouted in her head looking up before sighing.
The money will be enough for one month but she still have to find a job in this time otherwise she will be kicked out of the small apartment too.
As faes got out and began walking towards her house tired she began thinking. 'I will rest and begin to look for job tomorrow. Why does this happen to me? I don't have a family since I was born I don't have friends as I always studied to keep the scholarship and didn't hang out with people and now I don't even have a job!' angry she looked up at the now dark sky just like her mood 'God! why are you being unfair to me?' she asked looking at the sky and got lost in thoughts when a horn brought her focus back to reality. Looking at the source she found that a car was speeding towards a lady who was running towards her husband probably who was holding a child on the other side of the road. The lady seemed too scared as the car came near her.
Faes watching this let her mind race at the scene and felt that if the lady died the child and man will suffer a great loss. 'I don't want another child to suffer like me!' Before the person can move to save the lady faes ran to her and pushed her out of the way.
The car barely missed her and faes sighed in relief but forgot that she was in the way of the car now. When faes realized this it was too late! The car hit her legs sending her flying. 'Damn it hurts!' she groaned as she fell a few meters away and hitting her head to the ground in process somehow. The pain was so unbearable! 'Is this how the story characters felt?' she liked reading stories and novels and in the transmigrating novels this is mostly how the person dies. So this is why they die so easily the pain is like 'I don't want to experience it anymore please kill me!' kind of pain and it will really suck if you have to experience it for long.
faes felt someone at her side trying to wake her up and due to pain it just made her lose consciousness more. She barely heard the couple thanking her and apologizing and a very hurt and scared voice which was pleading her to stay alive till they get to hospital. 'It was probably the person driving the car! So at least someone was there to care about me when I died! Even if they were strangers I can feel at ease.' She thought
But is this what she wants? She wanted to become rich and have many friends and loving family. But did she get these? No! 'I don't think even if I will get a proper funeral as I don't have anyone.' Snorting she again blamed god for what happened with her.
"please stay awake!" the person pled again and this time faes opened her eyes looking at his blur figure as her glasses fell somewhere. By his blur figure he must be handsome and rich! And panicked too!
The boy was just a teenager who stole his big brothers sports car to show off to his friends but he didn't knew how to drive and because of a distraction from his friends call he lost control. He didn't wanted to go to jail and get punished for murder at this young age and also of a pretty girl
faes felt her vision darken and knew that she was going to die so she forced the remaining energy to smile
"I forgive you" she whispered to the boy
"don't speak the ambulance will be here just hang on" the boy said as he ended the call
"no" faes coughed then forced herself to continue
"I don't have anyone. No family no friends its just me so don't worry about me. Just stay safe and happy and give this body a proper funeral" she whispered making the boy feel more guilty with each word. They were nearly same age yet she worked to fend for herself without any family or friends and he was spoiled that he didn't even took his classes regularly. How different they were! He realized and vowed to take life more seriously from now on.
"don't speak like this hey hang on!" the boy shouted when she closed her eyes.
Now she can rest in peace that now she will get at least a funeral. Her body wont rot in any hospitals morgue. The remaining life she had faded away with her last thoughts being 'this is all god's fault if he wanted he could have given me a good life!'
