For some reason, Jane could not stop thinking about the man she saw. Her cheeks were always hot no matter how many things she washed her face. She kept on blushing whenever she thought of him.
She went to her father's side and said, ''dad, better wake up soon, so she can choose a good and handsome man for me.'' ''if you don't wake up soon then..then i'll just get married i'm not getting any younger''
She tried threatening him but still he showed no signs of responding. All she could hear was the beeping from the computer. Suddenly, her phone had a message notification. The message was from MORREN's company.
''that's strange, i can't recall applying for a job in that company.''
This time she decided to take the job no matter what the cost she had to pay because her father's next oxygen bill needed to be paid. The time given to her to find a job will soon be over.
The next morning she took out her best outfit before dragging her clothes to the public toilet to take a bath. She wore a white long sleeved shirt and a high wasit skirt that was the only official dress she had.
Looking at the palm sized mirror, she tied her rough hair in a ponytail. She always liked wearing long clothes that could cover her head to toe because her body was filled with markings and wounds she never knew how she had them.
''this will do ''
''dad, wish me good luck'' she said as she caressed the top of his hand. Jane steped out of the room and made her way to the doctor's office.
''dr. Reuben, i will be out for now, i've got to attend an interview''she said with a calm expression while waiting to hear his reply.
Reuben was like a fatherly figure to her, and like a family member she wished she had. Unlike her so called family that turn their heads when there need them.'
''isnt this the 20th time you've come to notify me about an interview. I cant stop you from going but remember not to do anything extreme. Your body is still too weak.'' reuben advised her, recently she had donated lots of blood to various blood banks since her blood group was rare.
''i remember to take rest and sleep often until i get a decent job, correct'' she giggled lightly as she rephrased what the doctor always said.
''are you trying to mock my words. I fired you for the same reason quickly attend te job interview. Your father's oxygen supply is almost finished, i've done you a favour by not collecting room and food fee.''The doctor's face seemed to turn sad upon saying the last part.
Sensing the quiet atmosphere, she stood up to leave. As she crossed the reception heading towards the door, she had various mummurs and words which seemed to target her.
'hey, isn't that the daughther of the man in the ICU center.'
'i heard she is a prostitute'
'with such petty body and face even men would get tired of her'
Each words were laced with envy, mockery, pity but jane could not blame them after all people were given mouth to speak.
