It was raining heavily, and the rain seems to be laying its course on Earthling because it rained heavily.
I had just closed from work, because since I no longer have parents….. then I have to take care of my responsibility.
My mother died four years back, while my Dad died two weeks after my mother's death.
That was the worst year of my entire life. My parents gave birth to three children, and I'm the second child of my late parents.
I have an older sister, and she was older than me by three years.
Immediately my mother died….. we were all devastated because she died leaving a two years old kid of us to take care of.
Bellatrix is the name of my younger sister, and she was still too young to know what was happening around her.
Just as if the universe couldn't consider my poor family... My dad also lost his life due to depression.
My elder sister and I worked our asses off until we were able to bury our parents.
My elder sister whose name is Sonia wasn't much of a free type of person, so after five months of my parent's death….. she told me that she was offered a nice job outside the state….. and that was how I never heard from her again.
From that very day that she travels….. I tried contacting her, but the number wasn't reachable, so I was left to take care of my baby sister on my own.
Life was Damn hard for me because I had to run a lot of expenses.
I'm still very young, and right now I'm just twenty-one….. and I have a six years old child under my care.
Bellatrix has a sickness, and the sickness has been since my mother died.
My father died on a rainy day and so did my mother.
I used to think that she was just too young to know that her parents were gone, but the kid is wiser than I thought.
On the very day that I lose my Dad, Bellatrix was rushed to the hospital, and I spent my whole savings, just to make sure that I don't lose two family members on the same day.
Right now, the only reason I'm just so scared is that I haven't picked up Bellatrix from school.
I had asked her earlier today to wait for me and since her school had long closed, I knew that she would be waiting for me outside her school building.
I ran as fast as my feet could carry me towards her school.
The reason why I had to close work late is because of my useless boss, who made me work overtime.
I continue making my way towards the school building, and just as I thought, I saw Bellatrix lying down on the floor.
It seems she has collapsed for a while now, but since all the kids have already gone home, no one was able to notice her.
Tears drop down from my eyes, as I quickly pick her up from the ground. She seems lifeless, and I'm currently hoping that there's still life left inside my younger sister.
I stopped a cab and told the driver to at once take me to the hospital.
During the car ride, I tried all I could do to make her wake up, but she just couldn't.
When the cab driver stopped in front of the hospital, I put my hand inside my pocket and brought out some dollar notes to pay him off.
Naturally... if this was like a normal sunny day. I would have just carried my sister on piggyback and walked all my way to the hospital because it isn't that far from the school,but currently! I'm in a hurry.
It still Damm surprises me that the cab driver still has the gut to collect money from me.
He couldn't even consider the fact that I'm currently holding a sick child.
'So cruel.'
I carried my sister inside the hospital, and in no time the nurses were all surrounding me.
They place Bellatrix on a hospital craft and start checking her.
Within the next minute, the child was no longer in my presence.
I had already told the nurse that she's Ombrophobia… which means she's scared of the rain.
All I had to do was to wait for them to treat her, and I'm Damn aware that this is going to course me a lot.
The last time that she was outside while the rain was falling, I spent a whole three thousand dollars to treat her, and I haven't even paid all those that I borrowed the money from.
'F**k you this rain!' I course inwardly.
If there's a way for me to pray that the sky shouldn't pour a single drop of rain on Earth, then I'll gladly do it.
I kept on standing outside for hours, and soon a doctor walked out of the room.
"How is she?" I asked because my major priority is my sister.
I can't afford to see her lose her life. My Mom died because she was ill, and she wasn't taken good care of, and that's why I want to do everything in my power to see my younger sister live, because she means a lot to me.
The doctor explained how my sister was doing, and soon my bill was handed over to me.
He had said that she was fine and that I'm very lucky to have rushed her to the hospital on time because it would have resulted in another different case entirely.
His statement made me praise the taxi driver.
Besides, he also did a good job, by quickly driving to the hospital, but that doesn't mean that I'm still happy about the fact that he collected money from me.
Aside from that, I still have to pay for medication bills, which I'm supposed would cost me like another thousand dollars.
This hospital is the cheapest in town, but they still charge me two thousand dollars.
I don't know what exactly they do to make her wake up, but the two thousand dollars comes without drugs. I mean what the heck.
I frown my face and dash out of the hospital.
I don't have any money on me, but I guess I'll have to beg someone so that they can lend me, and I'll promise to pay.
Thinking about the huge amount of money suddenly made me remember Sonia. If only she was here, then she would have been helping me out, or perhaps she would have taken charge of the bills.
It was still raining heavily, and before I left the hospital my sister was still sleeping, so I decided to be snappy before she woke up and found out that they're no one beside her.
My head was totally in a mess, and I didn't know the time I ran across the street.
I was Damn lucky because I was almost hit by a car.
'Damm!'
The owner of the car was a nice person because he quickly step on the break, unless I would have been a dead person.
I glance at the car with a surprised expression. If not for the loud horn that the car driver made. I wouldn't have been aware that I had entered the road.
I bow my head in an angle nighty degree, before continuing to run, because all I can currently think of is how I'm going to get the money to pay my sister's bill.
I was still running in particular, but then someone suddenly grabs my hands, which causes me to turn around, as I glare at the person with a confused expression.
"Miss!" The person called out, and I forced a smile across my face.
"How may I help you?" I asked the average-looking man.
He was putting on complete office wear. A white suit that screams Expensive! A white inner suit with long sleeves. A pair of white shoes, and use a pair of white suit trousers.
If I was a cheap type of lady, then I would start drooling. Besides I'm aware that a lot of girls could fight for the right to be his girlfriend.
Besides, if I'm a good digger, then I would be a hundred and one percent eager to listen to what he has to say.
I kept on glaring at him, and finally, I concluded that I should allow him to say the initial reason why he had to stop me.
"I was sent by my boss." He declared while pointing towards the road, and that was when I realized that the car that I almost ran over me was still parked, and it hadn't left the road.
"Tell him that I'm sorry for my bad crossing!" I quickly uttered before turning around to walk, because I don't have any time to waste right now.
"He wants to offer you a job. It seems like you need a new job."
"Job?" I asked back while turning around to stare at the man.
Not that my boss fired me from the restaurant, but if I see a job that pays more than the restaurant, then I'm going to go for it, which leads me to two jobs at a time.
"Yes! And we are going to pay handsomely." The man said, sounding like a freak. A complete freak.
"Alright! What the hell is the job about?" I asked because I'm beginning to get interested, especially when he said that they are going to pay me handsomely.
"You have to pretend to be the fake girlfriend of my boss for just three months. And each month, we would be paying you a million dollars." The man declared.
I raise my hand and quickly slap the man on his cheek.
How would someone play an April fool game on me when it's not even April yet.
"If you think I'm some whore that you can mess around with, then I'm sorry to say, but I'm not interested." I declare, before facing my front.
The man's statement was just so annoying, and assuming I wasn't in a hurry to find who was going to loan me money, then I would have slapped this man a long time ago.
"Alright! How much do you need?" He asked me, which stopped me from walking.
I turn around to gaze at him before saying. "Can you afford $1.5million?" I asked while smirking, and the man slowly nodded his head.
I glare at him with a suspicious gaze before asking. "What is expected of me?" I asked him, which made him open the suitcase that I had just taken note of.
He brought out a piece of paper and told me to sign on it.
I was about signing, when he stopped me halfway.
"You need to read the terms and….."
"F**k terms and conditions." I cut him off, before signing.
"Are you sure that you won't regret what you have just done?" The man asked while arching his brows.
I raise my brows and stare at him with a suspicious gaze.
'Why is he asking me if I'm going to regret it or not?' I asked myself because I'm beginning to freak out.
The way the man now talks, and the way he nods stares at me. Gush! What the hell is in that contract?
"Can I get the contract back?" I asked him because right now I don't want to engage myself in anything shitty.
"Sorry! But I can't. That's why I expected you to read the contract before signing." He said, and this time around he's now smiling.
"Hahaha! There's nothing scary inside the contract right?" I asked because his smile lightened up my tense nerves.
"No! There's nothing scary inside the contract." He said straightforwardly without a smile.
'Gush!. Is this man even a human?' I asked myself.
Since he said that there's nothing bad in the contract, then what's the big deal?
If the man can give me a billionaire dollar for the whole month, then I'm Damn rich.
"It's a deal then!" He said, before shaking my hand, and he seems to be tired of staring at me while I think.
I decided to ponder for a while again because I'm aware that you don't rush someone into something, and besides he's the one who needs my help, so he should be gentle because he might end up not getting any chance if he dares try it with other girls.
"It's a deal," I said before shaking his hands.
There was a smile on my face, but suddenly I remember that I still haven't paid the hospital bills for my younger sister, and I still haven't found anyone to lend me two thousand dollars.
I pull my hands away from him, and then I turn around to make my way toward my working place.
I haven't gotten far away from him when his voice startled me.
"You should feel free to talk to me, okay!" He said, and it made me wonder if this man that's currently behind me, could read my mind.
In life, I have gotten to learn that pride goes before a fall, and I know that it might seem ridiculous. But I'd rather swallow my pride than leave my younger sister to remain in a hospital where the entire area is disinfected with the smell of medicine.
"Hey! Can you please lend me two thousand dollars?" I asked and to my surprise, he counted five thousand dollars and gave it to me.
"I'm not lending you the money Miss! Just take it as a tip to your new business." He said while smiling.
"No way. I can't take this. I have to pay you back because this is just too much" I said while giving him three thousand dollars.
"It's a tip for you." He said while pushing the money back to me.
The one thing I can't do right now is to continue pretending as if I don't need this money.
Besides, I can use it to pay my debts and also buy medications for my baby sister.
Wow! I never knew generous people still exist in this cruel world of ours.
I was Damn happy….. but little did I know that my life is going to change from today henceforth.
